Called in for a drink ended up booking a room for next year having a meal which was first class and we can’t thank that bar manager enough can highly recommend the place
Absolutely fabulous food. Just how it should be. The staff were a benchmark others should strive to match. If you love home cooked food this is the place to eat.
Awesome in every way ☆☆☆☆☆
Have had a fantastic experiences at the Shakespeare Inn. We booked for 15 people, which included various dietary requirements and allergies, and they were so accommodating. I have been so impressed with there communication.
The Shakespeare has a friendly atmosphere, everyone was welcoming and helpful. The food was excellent, not a single person had a bad word to say. Everyone was stuffed and we had to roll home.
Would highly recommend!!!
Pub restaurant based in the centre of Kendal doesn’t look much from the entrance but inside it’s a very clean and tidy pub. Staff were friendly and food was great. I ate the southern fried chicken burger which was different and adding the sweet dip to it made it so much better. Family all enjoyed the drinks and food they had too.
New owners just took over, so pub and dinner not available during our stay. Lots of other options nearby for those.
Otherwise, a nice quiet room at the back with safe off-street parking. Clean. Spacious. Would return.
Nice little bar. Reasonable price. Good atmosphere. Very busy little bar as it was Kendal music festival. We had our drinks listening to a great sax and keyboard duo. Loved the atmosphere and felt comfortable.
Food we had in the evening was well cooked, tasty and plenty of choice. Breakfast equally good. Mini fridge in room with fresh milk nice touch. Service was excellent. Lovely staff, booked us a taxi and very helpful.
Only negative...car park impossible to get in unless you have a very small car so PITA trying to find parking, wheeling bags to accommodation.
Clean and comfortable pub in the centre of town. The night we stayed the property was changing ownership so the pub itself was closed but the staff were very helpful and still produced an excellent full English breakfast the next morning. The arch at the side of the pub leading to the carpark is very, very narrow to the point it required cars to be guided through we have a Nissan Qashqai and it only had about 4 inches of space at either side.
Came in for an evening meal…. Starters were amazing but so big we were too full for our mains and had to get them put in takeaway boxes! Lamb was amazing would highly recommend! Fairly busy for a Thursday with lots of tables reserved but music was too quiet that it almost made it feel awkward so would recommend adjusting the background noice so we aren’t all sat in silence or whispering to each other. Visited on holiday.
Stayed here 3nights it was perfect. Location was great for us. Rooms spotless. Breakfast and Sunday lunch excellent. But to top it all the staff were absolutely lovely
We stopped in for lunch half way through a long journey Monday afternoon, and so glad we did it was a lovely pub, the staff were friendly and polite and the food was amazing, if I'm ever in the area again I will make sure I go back
Stopped in for a meal. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Pub was clean and homely, dog friendly and had football on the TV for the other half. Food was amazing. Vegan curry was delicious. Will visit again when we are in the area.
