Meet the Newlyweds – Mr & Mrs Milne!
There’s something very special about a wedding at the Lodge, and we loved being part of Rachel and Grant’s beautiful day.
From the moment they said ā€œI doā€ to celebrating with family and friends, their day was filled with love, laughter and happiness - with the Lodge providing a beautiful backdrop for a wedding that was completely their own.
It’s such a privilege to share these special moments with our couples and to help bring the day they’ve dreamed of to life.
Congratulations Rachel and Grant! Here’s to a wonderful married life together, filled with many more happy memories.
Thank you to Callum Riddell Photography for capturing their day so beautifully.

Say Goodbye to Summer… But Not to Dining Outside!
What a summer it’s been at The Lodge! We’ve loved every minute of cooking outdoors, firing up the grill and serving delicious food from our Outdoor Kitchen – but as the seasons begin to change, it’s time to say goodbye for now and close the Outdoor Kitchen until next summer. But, weather permitting, outdoor dining is definitely not over. You’re still very welcome to find your favourite spot outside or settle into the Sitooterie and enjoy dishes from our main menu or our fabulous Sunday Brunch menu. So whether you prefer outside, inside or Sitooterie-style, there’s always a lovely spot waiting for you at The Lodge. Here’s to cosy autumn days, good food and making the most of every last bit of sunshine by the Dee. Looking forward to welcoming you this weekend - and if you want to see what's on the menu, click on the link below.https://www.banchorylodge.com/eat-and-drink/menus

Meet Dario, Our New Head Chef
For Dario, food, family and The Lodge are all closely connected. He has been a chef since he was 18, but it was love that first brought him to Scotland. Dario met his wife, Kirsten, while they were both working on a cruise ship. They moved to Edinburgh in 2013 before swapping city life for Royal Deeside in 2023, returning to where Kirsten’s family are based to start a family of their own. It was also then that Dario joined The Lodge, becoming Head Chef in July. It’s a role he is loving. Dario has a real passion for food and particularly enjoys being more involved in developing our menus alongside Executive Chef Paul Grant – making the most of fantastic local, seasonal produce, with an Italian twist.
He is equally passionate about people. He loves encouraging younger members of the kitchen team, helping them develop their skills and, most importantly, inspiring them to have the same enthusiasm and pride in their work that he does. And while moving from a big city to the countryside took a little adjusting to, Dario says there is now something magical about The Lodge.
ā€œEveryone knows each other here. The owners care about us, we care about each other and it makes you feel at home. It’s a great place to work.ā€ Great food, great people and a real sense of family – we think Dario has summed up The Lodge rather nicely. Congratulations on your promotion, Dario – we can’t wait to see (and taste!) what comes next.

There’s Something Foxy Going On…
Our little Lodge mascot appears to have his eye on Chef’s freshly baked shortbread… Although, to be fair, we can see why he’s looking a little confused – they do look somewhat familiar! Thankfully, Davut is keeping a close eye on both fox and shortbread, making sure there are plenty left for guests at the Aberdeen PA event we were attending … and that our cheeky little friend made it safely back to The Lodge in time to welcome everyone this weekend.
No foxes – or shortbread – were harmed in the making of this post. Although we can’t guarantee a biscuit or two won’t mysteriously disappear…Davut?

Sunday Just Got Even More Special at The Lodge…
Don’t want the weekend to end? We don’t blame you. Go on… make a Sunday of it.
Start with a leisurely Sunday brunch for two, enjoy an afternoon by the River Dee, find a cosy corner for a drink, then forget about heading home and stay the night.
And because Monday mornings are so much nicer when there’s nowhere to rush to, breakfast is on us and you can enjoy a lazy 12 noon checkout. Our Spontaneous Sunday offer includes: Sunday brunch for two, a Sunday-night stay for two, Monday morning breakfast on us and a 12 noon checkout. Available for Sunday stays from 20 September to 27 December 2026.

That Fryday Feeling...
This Isn’t Just Fish & Chips…
This is Lodge Fish & Chips.
Beautiful Peterhead haddock, battered and fried until perfectly golden and crispy, with all the trimmings.And as it’s Fryday, it would be rude not to. Although, of course, we’ll be serving it all weekend too. Just saying… So, tell us – what’s your favourite weekend dish at The Lodge?

Just a Paws Up… Barkchory is taking a little paws!
We’re sorry to say that our Barkchory Dog Show, planned for this Sunday, has been postponed until next year. We know that’s a bit ruff for all our four-legged friends who were ready to strut their stuff, wag those tails and compete for Top Dog… but don’t worry, we’re not putting this idea in the doghouse! We’ll be back next year, hopefully bigger, better and even more pawsome. So keep those tails wagging, those noses twitching and those best-in-show moves well practised. Watch this space – we’ll keep you pup-dated! And of course our 4 legged friends and their owners are always welcome at the Lodge.
