Step off the high street and into
the Alps: wooden huts wrapped in garlands, a ceiling of
fairy lights, and a mug of something warm in your hands while the best Christmas movies play over the bar.

Inside the Lodge



'Tis the season
to be jolly.
Take a Hut
Every booth is its own little wooden lodge: pitched roof, tartan cushions, a blanket on the hook and your name above the table. Bring four friends or the whole office.
Reservations are free and optional. If the huts are full, the stools by the window watch the world go by on Friargate.


Christmas Parties
The work do, the friends-mas, the annual get-together, done properly. Take a booth, take a row of them, or take the back room and make the whole night yours.
