We were on holiday in the Lake District and arrived in Kendal mid afternoon. Having not eaten we were looking for somewhere to have a late lunch. This was not as easy as it might seem as whilst Kendal has many eateries they were nearly all closed at 15.30. We then found The Shakespeare and are pleased that we did. Although from the outside it did not look like somewhere that we would choose, we were pleasantly surprised. The barman was friendly and nothing was too much trouble for him. The food was excellent including the vegetarian choice of my daughters and the prices were reasonable. If we return to Kendal we will be heading back there.

Super friendly service on arrival from a lovely lad in the Bar Again, friendly service in the morning from the lass serving Breakfast. Room was grand for 1 x night and did the job - clean, comfy bed and hot shower. Would definitely return if back in the area for the lovely, personable staff in a central location.

The food is amazing, too much for me to finish with all those chips! We had a different chicken burger each and would recommend both of them Food reasonable price, wine expensive but that is the same in most pubs / restaurants now Nice atmosphere and loads of outdoor seating too

Superb Location Superb breakfast served by extremely helpful staff. Bar and Breakfast area spotlessly clean. Room was too small for the double bed - two singles pushed together which is not what I believed I had booked - continually stubbed my toes because there wasn't sufficient room to walk between the bed and the wall. Bed was extremely comfortable however. Bathroom really was tiny and although clean, was not up to the standard of the public area of the Inn. Shower was hot and towels were spotless. But not enough room to swing a cat in the bathroom with the door intruding into toilet area. That aside, given the location on the high street, with the Brewery Art Centre a couple of hundred metres away it would be extremely good value if these minor issues were addressed. Would stay again however.
