Vikki King - Owner

Having qualified from Norwich City College with a Btec National Diploma in Hotel, Catering and institutional operation in 1992 I moved to West Sussex.

My first role was as a supervisor within Gatwick airport at a Danish Coffee bar after a few months I commenced working for a contract catering company, again as a food & beverage supervisor. Within the first two years I was promoted 3 times, first to Assistant Manager and then to contracts manager of the compnaies flagship Southern site FDRL in Basildon. This made me the companies youngest ever Manager with various accolades in the catering press. Following marriage and 2 children I moved back to my Norfolk roots where I have continued to work within the hospitality industry in various areas such as accounts, conferencing, functions and wedding planning. Finally last Summer I decided to take the plunge & start my own business - which brings us to today and "The Lodge Restaurant & Bar"
