We visited the moon on Friday and from start to finish it was superb, we pre-ordered and everything was exactly as requested, The staff were friendly and welcoming, especially shimmy who went above and beyond to make our visit special.

We had dinner here once while visiting the Lake District, and we were very surprised with the good quality of the mains. My wife's dish (Beef Cheek with watercress risotto) was really worthy of special mention, it was reaaaaally good, like "London nice restaurant" good....Really fair priced, maybe even on the low side. Def worth a visitMore
A nice meal after a visit to the Brewery cinema. We had the fresh mackerel fillets with pickles followed by the lamb and the slow cooked beef. Both very good and imaginatively prepared. The fresh mackerel and pickle combination was particularity good. One small point,...the roast jersey royals were dry and overcooked. (Jerseys are not what they were but may have been better boiled.) Really nice truffle chips. Good choice of drinks - I had the Black Sheep bitter. Very attentive and friendly service.More
The food we had was outstanding! So much attention to detail and care. Great service and a lovely atmosphere. We were greeted with a warm welcome, and that quality of the service and food continued all throughout our visit. High quality ingredients are used in...the dishes and the flavours are well thought about.More
A warm welcome, show upstairs which is a very pleasent space, great menu, well presented and tasted scrummy. Service pleasent - well done Ben. Wine reasonably priced and good quality. (Bottle left on table, if want to move to next level - offer to taste...and serve). Altogether a very pleasent place to spend and evening - thank youMore
Clearly the chef cares deeply about ingredients and cooking. A marvellous Sunday lunch. A gastronomic oasis in a town that badly need good restaurants. Top-notch
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Moon. Service was wonderful as always and the food was just delightful! Nearly put my yorkshire puddings to shame! Thank you so much Helen and Leon!
My hubby and I are foodies, visiting the Lakes for holiday, we saved this meal out as a finale to our trip. The food was utterly delicious, I could feel the Chef’s passion in every bite. My husband had fresh mackerel fillet and pickled veg...for starter, I had the mushroom soup with focaccia (I make specialty focaccias myself, the taste of this Chefs focaccia was soooooo good) fresh, so full flavour. Our mains; spiced cauliflower and pan roasted cod in mild curry sauce, well both dishes a knock out!!!! Excellence followed through with our desserts, eating here made us so happy. Being what was our last night and such amazing food got me all emotional. The staff were very friendly, and helpful. If you’re looking for something special, Moon at Highgate gets the Gorry award for best taste, place to eat in Kendal. Thank you ❤️More
The chef is fantastic. Service needs work….staff extremely in-experienced. It was our wedding anniversary night, and there was only us and another table there. I had salmon starter and cod main, both lovely. Husband had pate and ox cheeks. It was almost as if a...different chef had made his courses - very basic, and not a patch on my food. Chips were brilliant. Waitress was very under-confident and needed to leave the bar and give her nose a good blow rather than sniffing noisily for the duration of our meal. Despite all this, I had a great tasting meal with my menu choices, chef perhaps just needs to tweak the ox cheek and pâté course presentation to make them a bit more refined?More
Visited here for Valentines Day and were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food was extremely well prepared. I chose the Ox Cheek and my partner had the cod - both dishes were delicious. It is clearly a popular place and we could...see why. We felt for the staff because it seemed like the couple on the adjacent table did a runner after they ate their meal! That's a no-no and very disrespectful. I hope they got caught! Would definitely return if I find myself back in KendalMore
You would have to do a lot of global travel to find anywhere that serves food of this quality. Best food I've tasted in a long time and its right here in "little old Kendal" Couldn't recommend it more to visitors and locals alike.
I have the prawn broth with the beef roast dinner and it was almost at the beach was a bit on the row side But overall very nice experience and it was nice to revisit it how it is now and that used to work...thereMore
What a wonderful meal out we had. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Our party was keen to take our time and spread our 4 courses over the space of two hours. At no point did we feel rushed by the staff and the result...was an A+ experience. We shared a great light focaccia with garlic aioli to start, then had the duck parfait and smoked salmon starters which were excellent. For mains we all enjoyed the loin of lamb, which was outstanding. Sticky toffee pudding, coffees and whisky all followed to delight. All in an outstanding way to see out the year.More
We had a fantastic meal here as a pre-Christmas treat. The most amazing focaccia to nibble on while we waited for our meal. Two of our party had the shin of beef which they thoroughly enjoyed. I had the roasted cauliflower which was delicious. For...desert I had the chocolate tart with clementine ice cream...sublime. Drinks were a little pricey, but overall opinion is that we will be back. Best meal out in a very long time. Well done to your team.More
I booked this restaurant to enjoy a dinner out with a friend while in Kendal and we both had a lovely experience. Very friendly staff and very well presented food!
