Food has always been a pleasant obsession at Gilpin Lodge - a magnet for hotel guests as well as local and visiting diners. To be more explicit, food is one major ingredient of the total dining experience which marries the flair and creativity of the chefs, tenacious sourcing of the finest fresh local ingredients, the expertise of restaurant staff in blending professional service with relaxing hospitably, the production of a suitable wine list and of course, a raft of complimentary design skills which gratify the diner's eye be it in terms of the table appointments, the furniture or the subtlety of the lighting.
