Good pub food and a nice range of ales. Staff were really helpful squeezing us in when it was packed.

Stopped in on a road trip. The salt and pepper ribs were spot on&mdash;crispy and full of flavour. The real winner was their house red, a robust Shiraz that cut through the richness perfectly. Service was attentive without being fussy. A very pleasant surprise indeed.

Been coming here for years. The fried chicken and chorizo tostada are always spot on. You can taste the fresh ingredients, it&#39;s clear they don&#39;t cut corners. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Caught the match here last night. The big screens are perfect for watching, really clear from most seats. It gets quite lively when it&#39;s busy, which is fun. A good spot if you want to watch the game with a pint.

The decor here is so inviting, really cosy. Staff handled our big group without a fuss, still found time for a quick chat. Felt relaxed the whole time.

Modern and comfortable spot. Staff were quick and friendly. Just had a coffee, but it was good. Convenient location for a quick stop. I&#39;ll be back.

Had the Sunday roast here. The portion was generous, especially the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Good value for the price. The burger looked decent too, but I stuck with the roast.

Popped in for a coffee and cake deal during a Lake District walk. The cafe had these lovely big windows, so you could just sit and watch the world go by with your drink. Really nice spot to take a break.

The mixed sizzler was a decent choice, tasty and freshly cooked. The staff were friendly, though service was a bit slow.

The set menu is the move here. Three courses and a drink for that price is solid. The starter soup was a bit thin, but the main&mdash;a braised pork belly&mdash;was spot on. Tender, savoury, fell apart nicely. Dessert was simple, just ice cream.

The upstairs dining area is huge! They have a nice wine list that paired well with the spicy dishes. A solid spot in Kendal.

Food matches the name. Solid mix of classics and their specials. Flavours are punchy but not messy. Service is quick and friendly - got my lunch sorted in no time. Good for a quick bite.

Been coming here for years. Their fried squid is always spot on - tender, with a nicely seasoned batter. You can taste the fresh oil they use, makes all the difference. A bit pricier than some places, but you get what you pay for.

Food was great, portions were generous for the price. Just a heads up, it&#39;s cash only, so had to run to the ATM nearby. Still, felt like a good deal for what we got.

The lamb shawarma was flavourful and the staff&#39;s beer suggestion was spot on. The dining area is cosy, good for a quick business lunch. Service was efficient.

The steak and ale pie is the real deal here. Proper homemade feel, chunky meat, and they give you a whole jug of gravy on the side. The whole place just has a nice, relaxed vibe.

They sorted out a booking mix-up for us with no fuss, even though we called quite late. Really appreciated that. The staff were calm and helpful when it could have been stressful.

Been here a few times now. The space just feels right&mdash;warm lighting, comfy booths, never feels rushed. It&#39;s a nice spot to just be.

Been coming here for years, and the fish and chips are always spot on. You can see them fry it fresh, and that short wait is just part of the deal. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every time.

Love the vibe here, and the coffee is really good. But honestly, it&#39;s often packed. Came for a quiet morning coffee and had to wait 15 minutes for a table. For the price of a latte, I&#39;d expect to sit down without a hassle.

First time trying their pizza and wow, the crust was perfectly chewy and charred. Really enjoyed that. The staff were nice too.

Came after work for a quiet one. Menu&#39;s a bit smaller now. Food&#39;s decent for the price though. Quick service. Good drinks.

I always look for fresh ingredients, and their fish is spot on. The chips were crispy, not greasy. A solid choice when you want something simple and well-made.

I&#39;m always looking for fresh ingredients. The fish in the fish and chips was really fresh and flaky, which I appreciated. The batter was crispy too. A good spot for a classic meal.

The Moroccan cauliflower was a real highlight, really nicely spiced. Service was fine and the bill came in a bit under what I&#39;d budgeted, which is always a plus. It does get busy, so booking ahead is a good idea.

I always get the beef chow mein here. The vegetables are crisp and fresh, which I really appreciate. The homemade onion rings are a nice treat, too, though they can be a bit greasy sometimes. It&#39;s my go-to for a reliable meal.

The Buddha bowl was lovely, especially the warm falafel and coronation sauce. The homemade cakes looked tempting too. My only small note is that the chairs are a bit hard for a longer sit.
