The Gateway Inn

About The Gateway Inn

A quiet spot in Kendal that suits families who'd rather eat without competing with a wall of noise — handy if you've got a child who finds busy dining rooms overwhelming, or a baby you're hoping will nap through the main course. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and vegan and gluten-free options mean fussy or allergy-conscious eaters aren't stuck with chips. Step-free access and free parking take the faff out of arriving with a buggy. Worth booking ahead, and there's outdoor seating if you need somewhere for a wriggly one to burn off steam.
