Farrer's has been roasting in Kendal since 1819; Podda & Wren, Red Bank and Rinscoffee have followed. The Lakes cafes run on Carvetii, which roasts inside the national park.
Kendal
A working roastery you can walk into, with named single-origin lots on the counter and staff who roasted every one of them. This is a sourcing-led operation, not a cafe that happens to stock bags.
Kendal
Penningtons roast in Kendal and sell direct from the roastery. The Summit Special arrives before it stops degassing.
