FOOD & DR INK
THE LODGE, DUXFORD Tucked away in the sleepy south Cambs countryside, the chic courtyard at The Lodge, Duxford is a total revelation. A large, multilevel space with stylish furniture, festoon lighting, firepits, an outdoor bar and even a DJ at weekends; it’s the latest string to this boutique hotel’s bow to be revealed. On the menu are a range of fabulous-sounding pizzas, an expansive cocktail and wine list, plus afternoon teas and an ‘off the grill’ selection, where you can find steak, burgers and the like. If you really fancy a treat, why not book in for an overnight stay? The rooms are gorgeously designed Kitchen. Since opening in 2019, it’s won an army of fans with its flame-cooked dishes and Sunday roasts, and it’s about to pick up even more with its new garden dining area. A rolling meadow dotted with picnic tables and shady trees, you can order drinks at the outdoor bar (an Airstream van), and tuck into dishes including creamy burrata, chargrilled chicken flatbread and exquisite desserts. There’s loads of space, making it ideal for kids (or social distancing like a pro), and there’s also a courtyard dining area to the side of the restaurant for a more intimate dining experience.
