The Jolly Fryer - South Lakeland

The most delicious fish and chips. Freshly cooked cod in a crispy batter. Great chips; no grease/oil, just perfect fried potatoes. We also had mushy peas these were lovely just the right consistency and full of flavour. You can park outside or at the store round the corner. If you phone in your order, there’s no waiting. The staff are so smiley, chatty and friendly too.

This restaurant is located by the roadside, making it easy to find. Parking is available on the street. The fish and chips here are very good, and they also offer a large menu with other food options.

We’ve walked from Kendal to Staveley many times but usually pass through Burneside much earlier than lunch time. Today we were a bit later because our new puppy is a bit slower. Our reward was to find this cracking little chippy. It’s just beside the Jolly Anglers pub and easily missed. Really super fresh fish and very reasonably priced. We had haddock and it was one of the freshest I’ve tasted. The staff were charming. A local wee hotspot so please do drop in for a treat and avoid the usual options in the more touristy parts of this area of the Lakes.

I went to this restaurant while visiting family in Kendal. The food was of good quality, cooked fresh and not greasy. I would recommend it.

During our visit to Kendal for a few nights, we stayed in Burneside and were recommended this restaurant by our host. It was affordable, offered high-quality and fresh food! I suggest trying their delicious fish and chips. The only downside is that they only accept cash, not cards.
