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.
