What to Expect
The Village Lodge outside Gweru pairs a hotel and conference centre with a restaurant known locally for its Chinese menu. Cat (February 2023) said “The Chinese food is superb” and singled out the vegetable spring rolls that “will have you coming back again and again”. Trevor (February 2022) agreed Chinese dishes were a favourite among “a wide range of awesome food”.
The kitchen accommodates diners beyond the printed menu. Kalpana (November 2021) asked for something not on the menu and “the chef gladly made it for us”, calling the food quality “superb” alongside the Malawi Shandies. Rooms, conference halls and the bar all draw separate praise from reviewers who use the Village Lodge for functions as much as meals.

It's the place to be. They offer a wide range of awesome food, Chinese being my favorite. They have staff members whose priority is the customer, making you feel at home. They provide a wonder space to just chill with family and friends.

Really nice place to hangout with friends or even alone. They have a bar and a restaurant with good food. There is also a barbecue, you can do it yourself or let one of the workers do it.
