Nestled in the heart of Kendal, The Bristly Hog shines as a beloved destination for both locals and visitors. Diners rave about the freshly prepared dishes, particularly the bacon sandwiches and Peruvian-inspired hot ciabatta, complemented by exceptional coffee offerings. A warm, welcoming atmosphere prevails, with friendly staff eager to accommodate guests, including their furry friends. Outdoor seating enhances the experience on sunny days, while the loyalty card for drinks adds a delightful touch. Despite slightly higher prices, the quality of ingredients ensures a satisfying meal worth every penny. The Bristly Hog is undoubtedly a culinary gem.

I had the open pulled pork sandwich, it’s possibly the best cold pulled pork I’ve ever tasted. And I just had to have the layered ginger cake to finish.
