What Kids Love

The Lodge is Christmas turned all the way up: garlands round every hut, ten thousand fairy lights overhead, Santa by the bar and a claw machine full of teddies.

The festive menu works for every age. Hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and mini marshmallows, a gingerbread man perched on the mug, a chocolate waffle with white and dark drizzle, and a bratwurst hot dog for the hungry ones.
