TRADITIONAL TREATS

At Summer Lodge we try to make sure everything's special, and we're quietly confident that we succeed. This is especially true of the outstanding food and drink our guests have come to expect.

Some items, however, stand out even among the Summer Lodge wining and dining experience.

Steven’s Signature dish
Executive Chef Steven Titman’s special local culinary creation: Roast loin of Dorset lamb with braised shoulder ‘Shepherd’s pie’, Savoy cabbage and rosemary jus

Dorset Cream Tea
You simply can’t visit the West Country without enjoying a cream tea, and this is Dorset’s finest: home-made scones, strawberry jam and Dorset clotted cream.

Traditional Afternoon Tea
Served every day, Summer Lodge's traditional afternoon tea offers a selection of finger sandwiches, freshly made pastries, and scones with strawberry jam and Dorset clotted cream.

Whiskies, Cognacs and Armagnac
We’ve made something of a specialty of the World’s blithest spirits. The bar at Summer Lodge lists 120 different whiskies and over 60 different varieties of Cognac and Armagnac, some dating back as far as 1876.
