📍A little bit about where you'll find us...

The Old Lodge is tucked away in Maythorne, a small historic hamlet just outside of Southwell, sitting alongside the River Greet.

The hamlet grew around a pair of mills, which date back to the late 1700s. Originally producing cotton yarn, the mills were later used to produce silk thread, with around 70 people working there by 1838.

Maythorne has a total of seven listed buildings, and as you can see, it's a beautiful corner of the Nottinghamshire countryside.

Visit us at The OId Lodge for breakfast, lunch or coffees & cakes and take a look around! ☕️🍰

Whether it’s a family celebration, catch up with friends or a work gathering, we have plenty of space for large tables.

Why sustainable dining matters to us 🌱🌍

Food provenance and sustainability are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to sourcing ethically produced ingredients from UK farmers who take pride in meeting the highest standards of food quality, environmental care, and animal welfare.

We work with like-minded local producers who share our vision for a better food system, and we’re proud to rear our own meat on our family farm just minutes away. Our talented chefs make the most of our farm’s fresh produce wherever possible, showcasing the absolute best of seasonal British ingredients. 🇬🇧

Our menus change with the seasons, celebrating what’s fresh, local, and at its peak. 🍂

Taste the difference true provenance makes and book in today! ✨

Why local matters to us🌾🚜

Supporting local producers means investing back into our community and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Seasonal, locally grown food is bursting with flavour and a joy to eat. Eating with the seasons also brings wonderful variety to the table, inspiring creativity and excitement for any food lover. 🍂

Most importantly, eating locally reconnects us with our food. It allows people to understand where their food comes from, meet the farmers behind it, and appreciate the journey from field to fork. 🐮
