    Ahhh... perhaps a bit far for you to amble into town, then. I'm just around the corner from Stricklandgate.

    Nice to "meet" you... :)

    Agreed re: Drunken Duck, although they do do bar snacks as well (although pricier/better than your average pub too). Another good and rather more affordable spot to grab a bite to eat is Wilf's at Stavely's Mill Yard. And the cafe at Lakeland Plastics isn't bad either, although no doubt you'd have to wait a while and inevitably would end up buying something you don't need from in the shop.

    Where in Kendal are you, MTC?

    If your visiting Wilfs don forget the Hawkshead brewary beer hall is now open.... p.s. i'm based in Staveley

    Have fun at Millerbeck, MTC... been there a couple of times as one of my son's is a big Thomas fan. ;)

    Have you been to the miniature railway at Beetham? Think it's open every Sunday in the season... and it's free (well... donations based).
