Food and Groceries

If you fancy handing over the catering to someone else - either as a one-off treat or if you are celebrating a special event such as a birthday or anniversary - then we have arrangements with two local caterers who can serve quality food directly to your lodge.

Food for Thought

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.
