There seem to have been a few rumours going around recently, so I just wanted to clear things up — The Eskdale Lodge is very much OPEN and has never closed! 🍻
Our bar is open from 5pm Monday to Saturday (currently closed Sundays). While the kitchen isn’t open just yet, reopening it is something I’ll definitely be looking at once I’ve properly found my feet again.
After spending the last four years caring for my parents through ill health, I’ve recently returned and I’m now focused on bringing The Eskdale Lodge back to life. I’ve been sad to see that many familiar faces haven’t been coming in lately, and I’d genuinely love to know why — whether it’s something we can improve, something you’d like to see, or simply what would tempt you back through the doors.
The Lodge has always been about good people, good laughs and a welcoming atmosphere, and I’m determined to get it buzzing again.
Over the next few weeks I’ll also be getting stuck into the beer garden — lawn mower, hedge trimmers and secateurs at the ready — so we can get our sun-trap beer garden looking its best for summer ☀️🍺
Please feel free to message me directly with any feedback or suggestions — I’d really appreciate the support and hope to see you all again soon.
Many thanks,
Garvan
