The bbar menu collection

From bottomless brunch on our al fresco terrace to signature cocktails and delicious à la carte dining, discover a collection of menus that celebrate our South African heritage.

Try the “Son of a Gun” buttermilk chicken burger with jalapeños in a brioche bun, or the BBQ pulled jackfruit burger. Our moreish bar snacks showcase 24-karat gold butter Buffalo wings with blue cheese sauce, South African beef biltong, and soft shell crab tempura with avocado and chilli dip.

Behind the bar, our signature cocktails include Jellybean Clover Club with jellybean infused gin, a Mexican Truffle Old Fashioned with truffled honey, and a Madagascan Espresso Martini, as well as mocktails such as Mango Lassi with rose water, and Pan Asia Tiki Lemonade.

Dining at its finest

Delicious cuisine and impeccable service go hand-in-hand at Summer Lodge and renowned sommelier Eric Zwiebel will be on hand to offer the finest suggestion of wine to accompany your meal. Dine in our light and airy conservatory, the elegant Restaurant, or in the warm cosiness of the Whisky Bar, with around 300 whiskies.

In the summer, dine al fresco on the terrace, while our traditional Dorset Afternoon Tea is served every day in the Drawing Room and Conservatory. Our cheese trolley is also exceptional, with an award-winning selection of the very best local cheeses.
