sample Children’s Menu

Children are very important to us at The Lodge. All the food served is organic and free from additives. We can arrange for the children to eat earlier in the evening if the adults prefer. The options for dining are in the conservatory, on the loch side or in the tree house. We can create a theme for the meal, for example, a cowboys and Indian’s meal in the tree house!

The Lodge desserts

But what about Afternoon tea, we must mention this ritual of home-made chocolate cake,scones,jams and finger sandwiches to be enjoyed in the Tree House or packed into one of our famous picnic baskets. We even supply a cashmere rug to keep away the summer chill. 
 
We don’t always eat indoors and in the height of summer we can be found on the banks of the Loch, at the bottom of the garden, as Michael prepares a banquet BBQ, picnics on the lawn and themed dining for the Children in the tree house or gardens.
 
We aim for excellence and this is reflected in our flexible service and food.
