A delightful place. The decor is simple, but fun. It is imbued with the murmur of conversation, the clunk of beer mugs, the gentle swish of the taps being pulled to fill the glasses. I don't live near here - but I shall be back!

Called in at Kendal for some eats. Google was showing the tap with good reviews and it wasn't wrong. Loads of parking, dog friendly, helpful staff and 6 plus ales on the bar. Had a stonking ipa brewed next door. And the pizzas made from a trailer outside were some of the most flavoursome I've has since Vesuvio of Clitheroe. All in, a lovely pub that's got us wondering what else does Kendal have to offer!

Great atmosphere although can get a bit too noisy. Sometimes this adds to the atmosphere. Easy parking, great ales, and food available to order. Nice decor with a mix of curious and industrial. Some well-recycled items are in use. The beer was chilled to perfection!

Cool place slightly outside the centre of Kendal. Decent selection of craft beer and real ale. Despite visiting in august 21 it was table service only which wasn’t a massive problem but it did slow the service down slightly. The menu was also removed after we first ordered so had to request another. If you’re table service only post COVID I’d introduce an app to order from would be my advice.
