It's sometimes difficult to define Norah's style of cooking, but sufficient to say that her flair for presentation combined with her natural talent in being able to use some of the more traditional recipes, some of them indeed, handed down from her Mother, and with most ingredients locally sourced, enables her to set them before you in a very appetising way . . !

Over the years, Norah has picked a number of top awards for her cooking, from winning a Gold Medal at Buxton in 1989, coming out on top of the cream of competition from England, Scotland and Wales,

right through to 2002when the AA awarded Grange Lodge the 'Best Breakfast Award' for

Guest Houses in Scotland and Ireland . . .and it doesn't stop there !

Whatever the occasion . . . a small Wedding, Corporate 'Day Away', Private Dinner or Birthday Party,  menus are tailored to suit, with the emphasis on excellent food and very exclusively private surroundings.

If you are staying overnight and having dinner, most guests meet up in 'The Den' or the larger Drawing Room complete with log fires during the winter, for pre- dinner drinks around 7.00pm followed by dinner between

7.30 - 8.00 pm in either of  two dining rooms. The smaller of the two and incedently, one of the oldest rooms in the house, is really cosy during the Winter, whilst the other very much larger dining room overlooks much of the gardens and is particularly bright and airy for either breakfast or dinner during the Summer.
