Garden Cafés

Perfect for a light bite while exploring the Garden

Ginkgo & The Summerhouse Café

Family-friendly and open seasonally from 10am

Ginkgo

Located inside our visitor entrance building, Ginkgo is our bright, sunshine-hued coffee shop serving barista coffee, homemade cakes and bakes, savoury treats, and freshly prepared sandwiches made with locally sourced ingredients.

Ginkgo is open to everyone and does not require Garden admission.

Summerhouse Café

Set within the Garden, the Summerhouse Café is the perfect spot to pause and relax during your visit, offering the same great coffee and delicious homemade food in a beautiful outdoor setting.

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

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