The Restaurant At The Summer Lodge Country House Hotel

We are delighted to have received two great nominations in the prestigious Tatler 2005 Restaurant Awards for Summer Lodge. Nominated in two categories Best Sommelier Eric Zwiebel and Best Out of Town Restaurant, we are extremely proud to have achieved such recognition after a relatively short time from relaunching the restaurant.

Overlooking beautifully manicured lawns and pergola, the stunning award winning restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. If the weather is fine, tables are available on the terrace.

Steven Titman, our Executive Chef, and his team have devised menus that offer a seasonal selection of international dishes and local specialities. Our cellar is stocked with a superb choice of fine wines and Eric Zwiebel, Champagne Ruinart UK Sommelier of the Year 2004, and his team are on hand to provide recommendations and suggestions.

A traditional Dorset afternoon tea is served every afternoon in the Drawing Room and lighter meals can be enjoyed in the cosy bar.

For a special event, The Dorchester Suite is available for exclusive use and bookings can also be taken for larger parties to be served in the restaurant.
