The Principal

You'll find The Principal right on Market Place, which means you're bang in the heart of town—the kind of location where you can watch Kendal's everyday life unfold from the windows. It's the sort of pub that doesn't need to shout about itself; locals know where to find it, and it does the basics well: decent pints, honest food, and a no-nonsense atmosphere. The vibe is appealingly unpretentious—you're here because the beer's cold and the company's good, not because someone's written about it on Instagram.
