Spinning Jennies Kendal reveals name of top floor food market

Spinning Jennies has revealed the long-awaited name and plans for its top floor Food market, a very sociable place for locals and visitors to meet, eat, drink from a variety of kitchens and in-house bar, specializing in craft beers, cocktails, and fine wines. Opening early 2024. LOOM is the one everyone has been waiting for! In the new year more news will follow to let everyone know what type of concepts to expect from each of the 6 kitchens!

LOOM is designed to be a beautifully curated hospitality space situated on the 1st floor of Spinning Jennies. It will have plenty of seating, with more to follow later in the year when we open up our roof terrace looking out over Kendal castle and the fells! We will eventually have 6 independent food concepts, each offering a different cuisine and all with an emphasis on freshness and vibrancy. More information to follow around the kitchens in the coming weeks.

LOOM will also have a beautiful bar situated perfectly in the middle of our communal seating area, offering over a dozen keg and cask ales, mostly from our county’s best brewers, as well as an extensive cocktail list showcasing classic cocktails with a Cumbrian twist here and there. The bar will also have an extensive list of fine wines and an emphasis on seasonality.

Paul Jones, Hospitality Director at Spinning Jennies expressed his excitement, stating, “We have been working hard, midst a complex refurbishment, to be able to bring this type of multi option eating-out facility to Kendal in the Lake District. The use of local produce and variety of street style food with global influence will undoubtedly add to the neighbourly fun and vibrancy re-emerging down Finkle Street. LOOM on the top floor is all part of the one-stop destination for eating, meeting, shopping for the surrounding communities and the area’s many visitors”.

Geri Ward, who is driving the Spinning Jennies vision, said “making this happen isn’t easy and we still have work to do to bring this top floor alive from where ladies fashion used to be. Once open, it will be a dream come true and, that it is going to be in the same building as a celebration of the English Lake District farmers and makers produce on our Cumbrian retail floor, plus other activities and offerings still to be announced, in Kendal’s town centre, is part of life worth working for!”

The anticipation of the early 2024 opening continues to build and we can’t wait to introduce more and more for 2024.
