Review of Artisan Café in Booths in Kendal by Cecilia Campbell

The new Booths opened in Kendal a couple of years ago, and on the lower floor the regional supermarket decided to house a café as well as Artisan, a food shop selling only local products and produce. The menu in the café cum restaurant very much reflects the Artisan philosophy, and pretty much every dish has at least one specified local ingredient, often several. (Unfortunately I can't specify exactly where the ingredients for our meal had come from as I cannot find the menu listed on the Booths website.) I had a grilled steak sandwich with garlic mushrooms and chips, which came with a side salad and tomato chutney. It was really tasty, both the bread and the meat had a nice grilled flavour to them, the chips were excellent as was the salad. Martin had a northern rarebit – northern because the cheese was from Lancashire – which he really enjoyed as well. At 7 pounds and a bit for the steak sandwich and 3 pounds and a bit for the rarebit, it was reasonable value for money, and an enjoyable lunch.
