Food is amazing. Staff are wonderful. We had such a wonderful evening and they really looked after us. Especially when I was an idiot and hurt my ankle on the pavement outside! Thank you so so much for your kindness. ??

What a place to eat at in the heart of the Lake District ?

We ate at the pub next door, which we believe is part of the Comida restaurant. Apologies if it isn?t, but that?s what we were led to believe by your waiter.Here?s the story of our meal:We wanted to try Comida after seeing good reviews online but, honestly, we don?t have many positive things to say about it. We didn?t have a booking and there were no tables available for us, but the nice waiter told us to try next door (the pub), as the food is exactly the same, no difference whatsoever.Off we walked the 30 seconds to the pub. The place wasn?t busy, maybe 4 or 5 tables taken. First thing we noticed was how cold it was. Not freezing, but uncomfortable. We found our own table and grabbed the menus ourselves. Order was made at the bar and the lady serving us was quite pleasant.There was obviously some confusion with table numbers, as we kept seeing servers walking around to every table, tapas in hand, and asking whether customers had ordered them. This meant we received 2 dishes that had already made the rounds (bread and calamari). Eventually we received the rest of our order, or so I thought - we were still missing the Valencian fried chicken. Not wanting to eat with our hands, I made another trip to the waiter station to get some cutlery, plates and serviettes - no one cared enough to bring us some.Patatas Bravas - they were clearly double dipped, i.e. fried and re-fried. They were almost see-though (clear sign of being deep fried twice), oily and so beyond crispy it was tough to bite into them. I could tell they?d been sitting out in some chip basket and quickly dipped again to warm them up. We didn?t finish those.Albondigas - if I was a betting man, I would put money on them patiently waiting under the hot lights for someone to bring them to our table. Any part of the meatballs that wasn?t hiding in the tomato sauce was dry, hard and darkened. We didn?t finish those either, but the sauce was ok.Roasted cauliflower - there is ?roasted? and there is ?burnt?. The ones we received were the latter, as in, the top of them was black. Again, probably too long under those lights, waiting for a hero to come and save them.Valencian Fried chicken - this could?ve been a good dish, but again, it was so dry and hard to bite into, I guess it suffered the same fate as our previous choices.Paprika mushrooms were good, so was the bread, and the calamari, despite them being a bit cold due to the numerous trips made to other tables before it reached us.Why am I leaving this review here and not on the pub?s page? This is your food, and it?s a disservice to you and a deterrent to potential customers to have it served in such an appalling state, with so little care for ?your? customers.No, we didn?t complain to anyone about the food. There was no check back at any point during our meal and we just wanted to leave ASAP. I think we lasted less than an hour in there. The night wasn?t all a disaster though. We went back to the lovely pub where we?d had a great meal the previous night and had dessert, served by someone who was actually happy to have us there - the highlight of our gastronomic evening.We?re not interested in going back for a second visit but I felt this should be highlighted.

Very friendly staff and the food was fantastic! We shared 7 dishes between us and were full to the brim. Favorite dishes? We loved them all but the artichoke hearts, octopus and mushrooms were amazing! Everything was very well cooked. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed good food, friendly staff and excellent coffee. We were having lunch so held back from alcohol! Only downside: it was we went on a cold day and it was a bit draughty/chilly

Our 2nd visit to Comida and we enjoyed it more than the first time. We booked for a pre-concert meal and were overjoyed with our evening tapas selections. Not an extensive menu, but who cares when the food is this well prepared and presented, especially the bread and butter pudding with chocolate - heaven.Very highly recommended, we will be back on our next visit to Kendal.
