High Lodge Cafe is a Forestry England visitor-centre café in Thetford Forest, serving food and drink with dogs welcome inside. It's the practical hub of a big forest day out and useful when you need breakfast before the trails or a sit-down lunch without leaving your dog outside.

The café sits at the heart of High Lodge, a major Forestry England visitor site with waymarked forest trails, play areas and open woodland all around. Dogs are allowed throughout the site, so you can fill up, sort the leads and head straight out into the forest without doubling back.

High Lodge Cafe is open seven days a week, with 9am–5pm hours during school holidays. It's a reliable stop for families, walkers and anyone planning a full day in Thetford Forest with their dog in tow.
