Private Dining
The Lodge is available for fine dining.
The Lodge offers private dining on an exclusive-use basis each week, from a Sunday to a Thursday, utilising its own organic kitchen garden and some of the west coast's finest organic produce.
The Lodge's chef, Donald Munro, has designed sample menus for lunch and dinner, with starters ranging from “Lodge Creel Crab & Prawn Bisque with Sippets" to "Naturally Smoked Loch Fyne Haddock Risotto with Isle of Mull Cheddar and Organic Chive Oil”. The menus give each guest a true taste of Scotland. Menus are bespoke to each group's requirements and can be preordered before arrival.
Based on a minimum booking of 8 people and a maximum of 24, lunch is £39.50 per person. This includes a glass of champagne on arrival, canapés and a 3-course lunch. Dinner is £49.50 per person with champagne on arrival, canapés and a 4-course dinner. An extensive wine list has been carefully chosen by The Lodge sommelier to complement your meal.
Whether it’s for a birthday celebration, an anniversary or staff incentive trip, each party will get exclusive use of the house over an afternoon or evening. This gives guests the time to explore the loch-side gardens and the Tree House overlooking Loch Goil.
After sitting down to lunch or dinner in the Victorian dining room a short tour of the house can be arranged.
Freshly cut flowers from The Lodge garden adorn each room giving The Lodge a beautiful scent inside and out through spring and summer.
Guests have the option of arriving by car, sea plane or boat with the boat collecting from Arrochar, Helensburgh or Greenock which gives them the opportunity to see this part of Scotland at its finest.
