Your Hut for the Night

Every booth is its own little wooden lodge: a pitched roof, tartan cushions, a blanket on the hook and garlands round the door. Once you're in, it's yours for the night.

Friday and Saturday nights in December go first. Midweek is quieter and easier to book at short notice, and from 1 December we're open every day until Christmas Eve.

Good to Know

Do I need to book a table?

No, walk-ins are always welcome and the window stools are first come, first served. To be sure of a hut on a Friday or Saturday in December, book online: it takes about a minute.

Does it cost anything to book?

There is no charge for the table itself, just a small deposit when you book, and it comes off your bill on the night.

How many people fit in a hut?

Up to eight. For a bigger group, book huts side by side or ask about the private back room.

Can I bring the kids?

Yes, children are welcome until 8pm. After that the Lodge is for grown-ups. More on bringing the family.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, dogs are welcome until 8pm. More on bringing your dog.
