Garden Cafés

Perfect for a light bite while exploring the Garden

The Summerhouse Café

Family-friendly and open seasonally from 10am

Set within the Garden, the Summerhouse Café is the perfect spot to pause and relax during your visit – serving barista coffee, homemade cakes and bakes, savoury treats, and freshly prepared sandwiches made with locally sourced ingredients.

As the Summerhouse Café is nestled inside the Garden, a Borde Hill membership or admission ticket is required.

Please note we only accept card payments, and welcome dogs on short leads.

Ginkgo, our indoor coffee shop located in the Visitor Entrance building, is now closed for the summer. It will reopen in September when the Summerhouse Café closes for the season.

Gardeners’ Retreat Café

Edie's Kitchen

Daytime dining for all the family in a relaxed courtyard setting – whether visiting the Garden or joining us for breakfast, coffee and cake, or a lunchtime meal. Open daily from 9am.

Restaurant Isca

Joyful, seasonal dining in our elegant glasshouse restaurant, with dishes shaped by biodynamic produce grown and harvested across our estate. Open Wednesday to Sunday.
