A smashing New Year's Day tradition at the Lodore Falls Hotel

The smashing of the Lodore Falls gingerbread house has become a tradition firmly embedded in the Lodore Falls Hotel New Year celebrations. Each year guests enjoying a delicious New Year’s Day gala buffet, can join in the fun and watch as the children smash the gingerbread house to pieces. Sous Chef, Shane Hamilton, produces the towering gingerbread hotel each Christmas, which is a replica of the Lodore Falls Hotel.

General Manager Stephen Johnson said “The gingerbread hotel features stained sugar windows and intricate detail of the hotel with real working lights, Shane does a fantastic job. It always seems a shame to smash it but the children get so excited, this Christmas we had around 20 children taking part in the smashing of the gingerbread house, even our Head Chef Mike Ward had a go.”
