What our customers said…

Northern Guild of Toastmasters Annual Dinner

I attend the annual Toastmasters dinner each Christmas time at Statham Lodge and it is always extremely well organised. It has become a firm favourite with the Northern Guild of Toastmasters. The team always look after their guests so well and the menu and silver service they offer in my opinion is the best around. For these reasons, as well as it being so picturesque with great facilities, I chose Statham Lodge for my own wedding day.

50th Wedding Anniversary

To everyone at Statham Lodge. Elsa and Frank had their 50th wedding anniversary celebration at Statham Lodge. They would like to thank everyone who made their day so lovely, so enjoyable and so friendly. Everybody played their part. Andy looked after us exceptionally well, as did those who served us at reception and at the table, those who served us drinks of all kinds, those who worked in the kitchen and others too, who in their different ways played their part in nothing was too much trouble. We were particularly touched by the availability of coffee and croissants in the bar even after breakfast was finished.

Golden Wedding Anniversary

My wife and I celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary at Statham Lodge on Sunday 19th April and we are happy to tell you, it was a great experience. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff for making our day so wonderful for us. They could not have been more kind, more helpful, especially Chris, the Events Manager, who gave us every assistance both with the pre-planning and on the day. A special thank you to the receptionist who took care of the flowers, cake, cards, menus, seating plan etc on Saturday evening when we arrived to check in to our very nice ground floor room. The Shelley Room where we had our celebration was beautifully set out and welcoming. The meal was excellent and the quality and wide choice of menu available impressed everyone. Please pass on our thanks to the waiters and waitresses who served us our lunch so seamlessly. The whole afternoon was so impressive, that some of our guests asked us “How did you find this place?” Thank you again to all involved at Statham Lodge for an outstanding day! We will have no hesitation in recommending you.

Christmas Lunch

I would like to thank you and the staff at Statham Lodge, for once again making the Christmas Lunch so enjoyable. The food and service were excellent and people really do appreciate being able to choose their menu on the day. As always, the hotel was beautifully decorated and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Chris and his team in the dining room were both friendly and efficient. Indeed all the staff that I dealt with ensured that the arrangements ran smoothly. It goes without saying, that when we paid the bill at the end of the event, we made our booking for next year.
