Great place to eat. Food was exceptional and the environment warm and inviting. We were close by the fire. The service here is terrific. All were great but we were primarily looked after by Maria and she in particular really stood out. Really great with us all. Thank you too.

Had a wonderful weekend away with my wife at the Punchbowl,  the hotel is located in a quiet corner of the lakes that we love.
Our room was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed, we ate in the restaurant on our first evening- what a wonderful meal we had, we ate off the set menu and it was 10/10. The service of the staff is impeccable and nothing is any trouble.
The breakfast each morning was very good with a cooked offering served to your table and a small buffet with additional items like yoghurt, pastries,juices  and fruits etc.
All in all a wonderful stay, looking forward to our next stay.
Thanks so much Adam & Sarah .

Not a regular pub. Their food is lovely.
We ordered cheese soufflé, confit duck leg, fish and chips, and creme brulee. The mains were cooked to perfection, and the seasoning was just right.
Staff were smiley and attentive. Food was served quickly.

The Punch Bowl Inn a Crosthwaite, Kendal: Ristorante e Hotel di Charme nel Regno Unito

The Punch Bowl Inn is a historic 17th-century pub located in the Lyth Valley, known for its picturesque setting and rich history. It has been a public house since before 1844 and has undergone several renovations to preserve its charm while offering modern amenities.

Situata nella pittoresca vallata di Lyth, la Punch Bowl Inn a Kendal rappresenta un affascinante esempio di storia e tradizione britannica. Questa locanda storica risale al XVII secolo ed è un punto di riferimento per chi desidera immergersi nell'atmosfera autentica delle campagne inglesi.

un viaggio nel tempo: dalla Fenton Arms alla Punch Bowl Inn

La storia della Punch Bowl Inn inizia prima del 1844, quando era conosciuta come Fenton Arms. Questo nome testimonia le sue radici profonde come punto di incontro per la comunità locale e visitatori che cercano un'accogliente tappa nel cuore della campagna inglese.

il cambiamento e il rinnovo nella storia della locanda

Nel 1910, la locanda assume il nome di Punch Bowl Inn, riflettendo forse un cambiamento di stile o di clientela, ma mantenendo intatto il suo fascino storico. Dopo secoli di servizio come punto di riferimento locale, la Punch Bowl Inn ha subito un periodo di chiusura nel 2012, segnando una fase di transizione.

Nel 2018, la Punch Bowl Inn ha conosciuto una nuova vita grazie all'acquisizione da parte di Donelan Trading Ltd, che ha avviato un restauro accurato per preservare le sue caratteristiche storiche mentre integrava comfort moderni. Questa rinascita ha trasformato la locanda in un luogo ideale per chi cerca un'esperienza autentica e accogliente nel cuore di Kendal.

Oggi, la Punch Bowl Inn è molto più di una semplice locanda storica: è un simbolo della ricca tradizione britannica, un luogo dove storia, cultura e convivialità si incontrano in un ambiente incantevole. La sua lunga storia testimonia l’importanza del mantenere vive le radici culturali mentre si abbraccia il presente.
