We care about the origins of our meat! Our beef is all from North Yorkshire, particularly Ryedale. Where possible we use a Hereford Cross– an old English breed noted for its tenderness and flavour– particularly as it is raised on the rich pastures of the Yorkshire Dales. Our Pork is all free range– known as 'fresh air' pigs they are an award winning cross of a Hampshire and Landrace pig. They are traditionally fed, and reared outdoors in Stillington, near York, using best husbandry and practices to achieve a happy well flavoured pig! Our Lamb is mainly from John Worsley of Denby Dale. He and his wife have a flock of Texel cross sheep which are a good meat producer that originates from the Netherlands. This breed is noted for their good muscle tone and flavour.
Some dishes contain nuts and nut derivatives. Please enquire if you have any allergies. To the best of our knowledge, none of our dishes contain any GM products.

The Old Lodge Evening Restaurant Menu, June 2008
About our Evening menu-
Of our 4 Chefs at the Old Lodge. 2 are fully qualified, and 2 are trainees. Our head Chef, Sarah, decided it would be fun to give all our Chefs an opportunity to put their own dishes on the menu. Our two qualified Chefs, Sarah and Mark, have each designed 2 starters and 2 main courses, and our trainees have designed one each. Each month we see whose dishes have been most popular with customers. May’s most popular starter was the Deep fried Brie Wedges, designed by Sarah, and the most popular main course was the Lamb Shank, also designed by Sarah! So~ who will be the winner for June?
