  • Food and drink

This Mother’s Day, The Lodge Dining Room presents a refined take on high tea.

Guests are invited to indulge in a seasonal menu that moves between savoury and sweet, from tuna tartare with Oscietra caviar to warm truffle rarebit — thoughtfully curated as a dining experience designed for her. The experience concludes with an elegant dessert selection, including banoffee choux, raspberry rose Ispahan, and house‑made blueberry and white chocolate scones served with blackberry and thyme jam.

Guests are invited to elevate the celebration with exclusive Mother’s Day cocktails or indulge in a bottomless session for an extra-special touch.

With vegan, pescetarian and gluten-free options available, it’s a thoughtful, inclusive experience that ticks every box; stylish, delicious and most importantly made for celebrating Mum in all the right ways.
