Dine-in Service
We offer a 'dine-in' service for guests who would like to take things a little bit easier or celebrate a special occasion.
We currently use two catering services and their sample menus are shown below.
Why not allow us to arrange for a professional chef to prepare, cook and serve a meal of your choice in the privacy and comfort of your lodge?
Generally this will be for 6 people but if you have friends staying in one of the other lodges we can move the furniture around and cater for up to 12 people in one lodge. Larger numbers could be accommodated in the Plantation Room where up to 20 people could eat together.
You simply need to have a look at the sample menus and then ring us to discuss the details. The service includes providing and cooking the food, setting the table, serving and clearing up after the main course - leaving you free to enjoy the rest of the evening.
Food for Thought (Liz Fairburn)
This small, family-run business has an excellent reputation for providing imaginative, quality food and personal, friendly service. Each occasion is treated individually and every aspect of the customers' needs is taken into account, whether it is a small intimate dinner for two or a larger family celebration.
The sample menus below can be altered to suit the individual or the party. A wide range of canapés can also be served with drinks before the meal.
Meals that are partially cooked or in the need of re-heating can also be prepared and dropped off on the day of arrival.
