Cakes Direct from the Lodge
We have been baking the fruit cakes for ten years now and mastered the Yorkshire Parkin back in 2012. The parkin was inspired by my Father-in-law's quest to buy traditional Homemade Yorkshire Parkin that was as oaty and moist as his mother used to bake. We have successfully used her recipe (dating back to the early 1900's) to create a firm favourite!
Annette started the business back in 2012, but now Paul has taken over baking responsibilities and has added a range of chocolate products that are gaining popularity.
As spring approaches, the Lodge kitchen has sprung into life ready for our events in 2023. We are exhibiting at more events this year, and will start at the Living North Live event in Newcastle in May. Next we will return to the Congleton Food and Drink Festival on Sunday 11th June. The range of chocolate bars now extends to 20 bars and soon there will be Nutella truffles!
Check out the shop for the new flavours.
