New Moon - Kendal

My partner and I had a gorgeous vegan meal here on our last night of a Lakes trip and we LOVED the experience. The ambience and service was superb and the vegan roasted cauliflower masala main we both had was some kind of alchemy, we savoured every mouthful.

I accompanied two elderly relatives to this restaurant as their first time out having shielded for nearly 18 months now. The staff were so friendly and adapted the food to suit our particular requirements (1 vegan, 1 GF with allergies and 1 other). We had a relaxed and enjoyable meal; the food was cooked to a very high standard and presented beautifully.

The only fine dining restaurant in Kendal expect a small menu, with at least one vegan dish for each course. Wines are labelled vegan in the menu. Stunning food!

Whilst staying overnight in Kendal we stumbled upon this little gem a family run restaurant with separate vegetarian menu which was actually predominantly vegan! The food was absolutely scrumptious, well seasoned, freshly made, big portions none of the half assed dishes that I often encounter in London. They also have vegan wines. The staff was attentive, knowledgable and very polite. I honestly loved this place, can’t fault it at all (not that I’d try anyway). It’s a must when in Kendal. I’d give them 4* if I could.

I'm vegan and I ate here with a group of 3 omnivores and 2 vegetarians on 22nd Dec 2011. I was provided with a vegan menu which presented 3 starter options and 3 main courses but there was only 1 vegan dessert, which was sorbet. I was really pleased that the restaurant would make such an effort to accommodate vegans, as this hasn't been my experience in any other non veg restaurtant! They were also very accommodating of other dietary needs (avoidance of shellfish). My food was very enjoyable, but not spectacular. I had a pear walnut salad to start (which in my opinion would have benefitted from more walnuts) followed by a mushroom risotto (which was just right). The lacto ovo veggies had the pear walnut salad with goat's cheese, a tomatoey cheesey linguine pasta, and an aubergine/mozzarella bake. The service was very good.
