Old Hunters Lodge “Brand New Menu”

After a successful three week trial, we can now officially reveal our brand new menu.

Following an extensive review by our Head Chef Luke Hamilton and his team, in addition to feedback from our loyal customers, we have come up with what we believe to be a menu to suit all.

A nice selection of starters including 6 new offerings and a lovely mix of traditional home cooked pub grub mains including 9 new offerings. A new look Light Bite Summer selection with Fresh Salads, Ploughman’s, Baked Potatoes & Ciabattas and of course we have our Little Hunters selection for the youngsters.

In addition to smaller portion options on the mains. Luke’s also added a fantastic range of Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian options throughout the menu.

In addition to our extensive selection of alcoholic beers, wines and spirits, we’ve also added some new alcohol free options for the designated driver.

We’re open 7 days a week from 12pm and serve food all day.

Add to that a sprinkle of friendliness on arrival and a beautiful country garden. What’s not to like.

IMPORTANT UPDATE ON ROAD CLOSURE !!!

Following lots of phone calls, emails and continued pressure from us to Affinity Water.

The road has now been repaired and we’re waiting on the concrete and tarmac to set. We have been advised the road will reopen this afternoon.

Although this issue is not directly connected to us, we have been getting lots and lots of calls for updates. For that reason we will keep you all posted through our page.

Naturally this has had a big impact on us, the church, the Zoo and the local community.

As a business and we’ve now been told by Affinity Water we have no chance of reclaiming loss of earnings.

Running a Restaurant/Pub is difficult enough, but we will remain positive and press on (as we always do)

As soon as the road opens we will of course update you. Best Wishes, John, Louise and all the team xx

URGENT NOTICE: Road Closure. Unfortunately!! As you can see the road directly outside our building has been closed due to a burst water pipe. You can gain access to the Old Hunters Lodge via Bison Hill (going past Whipsnade Zoo) We remain open for business and hope this inconvenience doesn’t have to much of an impact on our business, the people of Whipsnade and surrounding areas. At present we have been told by Affinity Water the road will remain closed for at least two days. Naturally this will affect us, but also the Church, The Zoo and the people of Whipsnade. To confirm: We have no control over this, but will be applying pressure to Affinity Water to get this work completed ASAP. Regards, OHL
