Transforming every moment into a memorable experience
Nestled in the heart of South Dore, The Summer House offers a unique and unforgettable dining experience. Established in 2015, we have transformed a former garden centre and pedal bike shop into a delightful blend of contemporary dining and rustic vibes.
From Garden Centre to Gourmet Delight
Our name pays homage to the charming garden centre that previously occupied our space. After meticulous restoration, we now boast a stylish and welcoming restaurant, adorned with a conservatory, log cabin shack, and tree house, offering diverse seating arrangements to suit every mood.

At The Summer House, we celebrate fresh, seasonal ingredients and innovative culinary creations. Our talented chefs whip up delicious dishes inspired by contemporary trends and classic favorites, ensuring a delightful culinary journey for every diner.
