Traveler advice
Book before you go
Restaurants in town
It is good to book evening meals in advance before your stay as Kirkby Lonsdale is a honeypot town with many visitors from out of town coming into the area for visits. Although there are plenty of places to eat on busy weekends there is less choice with venues booking up quickly.
