Nothing beats alfresco dining.

Most holiday meals feel rushed and forgettable.

Summer evenings at Kiplin Lodge Park tell a different story.

The extended daylight hours of June create perfect conditions for outdoor dining experiences. With sunset approaching 10pm around the summer solstice, evening BBQs become magical affairs that stretch into the twilight.

Each of our lodges features private outdoor dining spaces . Many guests tell us these evening meals become highlight memories of their stay.

Want to create your own perfect outdoor dining experience? Here are our top tips:

Local Produce Makes the Difference Yorkshire boasts exceptional local food producers. Visit nearby farm shops for freshly made sausages, locally reared steaks, and seasonal vegetables. We're happy to recommend our favourites.

Timing Is Everything During June's long days, consider dining later than usual. Starting your BBQ around 7pm means cooking in comfortable temperatures while still having hours of daylight ahead.

Create Ambiance Bring battery-powered fairy lights or lanterns to enhance the atmosphere as darkness eventually falls. Our guests often create stunning outdoor dining settings with minimal effort.

Plan for Temperature Drops Even in summer, Yorkshire evenings can become cool. Bring light layers to stay comfortable as the night progresses.

Hot Tub Dessert End your alfresco dining experience with dessert in your private hot tub. Watching stars appear while enjoying something sweet creates perfect holiday moments.
