If you get the chance take your time to locate this wonderful historic venue tucked away down a ginel off Stramonsgate in heart of Kendal. If you do then, like us during our recent visit, you'll be glad you did.

The Joshua Tree is a small family run Café & Bistro nestled in one of Kendals oldest Yards in a historic 16th century building. Here we found a warm welcome, great service and some lovely food at an affordable price.

The produce is locally sourced and freshly prepared by the team in the upstairs, small and open kitchen area. The menu is unpretentious but with a great selection of what I would call traditional British fare.

The homemade soup of the day was delicious, the vegetarian quiche delightful and the chicken, leek and mushoom pie superb. All served by pleasant and efficient, but not intrusive, staff in a wonderful quirky setting. The low ceilings, nice wood burning stove, and open wooden staircase leading to the upstaurs dining area all help to make this a nice venue for us to enjoy a lovely lunch.

We have been going to the Joshua tree for several years whenever we are in the Lakes. The owners are very friendly and the food exceptional. It’s a lovely atmosphere whether you want lunch ior an indulgent cake and tea or coffee. A true gem - Christmas lunch was amazing.

We had the Christmas Menu and wow it did not disappoint. I’m not a big eater but the proportions of food was just right . Lovely tender succulent turkey, plenty of roasties, and four different veg accompanied by stuffing gravy and pigs in blanket. We have been to Joshua Tree quite a few times and it never disappoints. All the staff are lovely and very friendly. If you get the chance please make the effort to go it is definitely worth a visit
