We’re always proud to support local artists and love seeing the amazing talent we have right here in our community. ❤️

This week we’ve added a few NEW additions to the menu! 👀

And one that’s already proving to be a firm favourite with our customers…

Our Fish Finger Brioche!

Golden, crispy fish fingers, topped with fresh salad, gherkins and creamy tartare sauce, all served in a soft brioche bun. Topped with a fresh squeeze of lemon to finish. The perfect lunchtime treat!

Have you tried it yet? 😊

Can you believe its our One Year Anniversary?! 🥳

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to celebrate with us over the weekend! We absolutely loved Singo Bingo with Mark Your Occasion – Celebrant and Entertainer — we laughed, sang and danced the night away! 🎤💃

We are incredibly grateful to every single one of our customers for your continuous support throughout our first year, with regular customers becoming new friends and our wonderful community continuing to grow 😊

We couldn’t be prouder of everything we’ve achieved in just one year — from winning Café of the Year 🏆 to launching our Chatty Café every Wednesday.

And of course, a massive thank you to our incredible team for all your hard work and dedication over the past year. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without you!

Here’s to an amazing first year… and hopefully many, many more to come! 🥂

Thank you all for making The Lodge what it is!
