The Miles Thompson Pub in Kendal

Council Offices, Allhallows Ln, Kendal LA9 4JH

About This Pub

So, if you're after a straightforward pub experience in Kendal, The Miles Thompson really delivers on the basics – it's one of those Wetherspoons spots where you can grab a pint or a bite without breaking the bank, and I appreciate how they've got heaps of space, including that brilliant beer garden out back. The staff are usually chipping in with a smile and sorting things out if there's a mix-up, which makes it feel quite approachable. On the flip side, it can get a tad sluggish when the crowds roll in, and sometimes the vibe is a bit subdued, especially if you're hoping for a lively chat. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up with mates, but it won't blow you away with anything fancy – just honest, no-nonsense pub grub and drinks that keep you coming back for more.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It's a classic Wetherspoons with unbeatable value for money on drinks and food, making it a wallet-friendly spot for a night out.
The place is spacious with loads of seating, including areas upstairs and a massive beer garden, so there's plenty of room to relax.
Service is generally helpful and friendly, and they've got that handy app for ordering straight to your table, which is a real bonus.
It's kept clean, with staff regularly tidying up, and there's good accessibility with a lift for those who need it.
A great selection of real ales and beers, plus the usual menu that hits the spot for a straightforward meal.

Cons

Service can get a bit slow when it's busy, and sometimes items might be forgotten, though they do sort it out quickly.
The atmosphere can be on the quiet side at certain times, so it might not feel as lively as you'd hope for a pub evening.
It's your typical Spoons experience – solid but nothing extraordinary, which could leave you wanting a bit more flair.
The toilets are alright, but with so many folks about, they might not always be up to scratch for a high-traffic spot.

Good Spoons, usual menu and prices. Large seating area, service helpful and friendly. Was very busy when we went in so service a little slow and a couple of items were forgotten but quickly rectified. Toilets not bad for amount of business

What can I say, yes it's Weatherspoons, which some people love & some hate!.. However for a value for money meal, especially with children it's always an economical choice!.. I always enjoy, purely due to no high expectations, but value for money food!.. The miles Thompson is a good clean spacious environment upstairs in the main dining area, away from the downstairs bar, orders via the app usually arrive promptly, as described, with no frills, but at the prices I'm not too disappointed if it's slightly cold, or slightly overcooked, its what I expect!!.. And at around £40 for 4 x meals + drinks for table service it's cheaper than most fast food joints! 😎

The miles Thompson is a typical whether spoons pub It is a reasonably priced food & drink. There's plenty of seating room, and also a lift for accessibility. The atmosphere was a bit quiet, but this is probably because of the time we went. Overall, very clean with staff regularly cleaning tables. All in all a pleasure to eat there

Classic spoons experience. Average but still better than most other pubs.

What a great Wetherspoons. Inside is cavernous with lots of areas downstairs and upstairs and a massive beer garden on the veranda out back. Use the app to order food and drinks direct to your table. Great selection of real ales and fancy beers plus the usual food selection.
