Always come here as my husband is coeliac and they do lovely gluten free fish and chips. They were lovely and brown this time. Someone said they might have been night before chips but if they were they tasted lovely

I stopped by on Thursday and inquired about gluten free scones (I’m English, but live in the United States). Unfortunately, they were out, but the chef stepped out and said he would make some and I could come back by later on that day or the next day. I went by just before they closed on the same day and the chef had made both fruit and cheese scones! As they were closing I picked some up to take away. They were excellent! I loved them so much, I returned with my spouse and cousin for breakfast the next day (also excellent) and we bought 3 different gf desserts (all absolutely fantastic!). Not only was the entire staff understanding and incredibly nice (they all went far above and beyond), the food is outstanding and the scones and desserts are not to be missed. I give The Cottage Kitchen food and staff my absolute highest recommendation. For people not concerned with gluten I still give the Cottage Kitchen my highest recommendation as the food is absolutely outstanding. The breakfasts were fabulous and the desserts are sinfully delicious.

Had a really lovely meal. Food was amazing and I love that I can stuff my face even though I’m gluten free. Our waiter Lucy was really helpful and efficient. I’ve heard a rumour that you’re moving to app ordering. I hate this idea. Please don’t.

We had a lovely evening here Saturday for my birthday. Separate allergy menu was lovely for one family member who needs gluten free food and she had a good selection to choose from. Staff serving were great, helpful and friendly throughout the evening. We shared some sides instead of all having starters and all chose different main courses that all arrived at the same time. Thoroughly great time had by us all.

Lovely country pub and very handy for Kendal and the Lakes. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival, and Pauline was very warm and friendly. I had the hot salmon salad which was delicious (roasted chickpeas instead of croutons which I much prefer and made it gluten free). Other half had the fish and chips (forgot to take a picture) Next time we will go for dinner so we can try the desserts. We had our two dogs and they were made a fuss of and given a treat which we always appreciate. Can’t recommend this place enough for a warm welcome with great food and drinks!

Decent place. They have a separate vegan and gluten free menu. Sufficient choices for all dietary preferences. I ordered a chicken flatbread but it had too much sauce. Hoping they can fix this. Staff was helpful and service was quick.

Went for a breakfast on the weekend and after ordering, the chef here came out especially to check which of the vegan breakfast items would be OK for me, as I am celiac. I was then served most delicious breakfast...Hence I had to come and leave a review, as that level of customer care is really appreciated!

We arrived late after driving up from the south and we're delighted to find the restaurant open and able to accommodate us. The staff were friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to make sure we were looked after. I'm coeliac and we're all dairy free. The staff made sure that all our meals were made to our needs and we were really impressed by how delicious, fresh and light everything was. We had Tom Yum soup and fish cakes to start - all super yummy. And then a garlic chilli pak choi steamed salmon dish, some minced spiced chicken, and a veggie & tofu red curry with jasmine and coconut rice. All delicious, all freshly made - we're super duper happy customers. Oh, also the venue itself us lovely and clean and the decor is very stylish and elegant.
