Same manafacturer as all UK made kits (Muntons) so you get the same problems. Replacing the supplied yeast with Safale S-04 is often a good start. Failing that keep it as cool as you can now and wait.
Try some Coopers kits next, they are single can kits that require a beer kit enhancer or half dried malt extract half sugar.

Roger's spot on....
Patience is the key with kits and changing the yeast to something more reliable and with better attenuation will help.
The Wherry's i've made in the past have taken around 5-6 weeks to clear, even in a King Keg top tap barrell. One thing with this type of barrel is that the yeast can collect on the float so the first pint maybe cloudy but the second will be nice and clear.
Personally, I don't mind a bit of yeast in my beer.
