Steven Titman Executive Head Chef stitman@rchmail.com I am delighted to work in the heart of the Dorset countryside and to have the freshest, sustainable, locally-sourced produce at my fingertips, as well as incredible ingredients from our kitchen gardens, to create delicious menus for our guests. Whether a nutritious and light salad at the spa or a special celebratory meal in our restaurant, we hope you will have an exceptional experience with us. Eric Zwiebel Cellar Master ezwiebel@rchmail.com Our cellar is recognised as one of the best in the world by the Wine Spectator Magazine and I look forward to taking you on the most incredible tour. I am always getting to know amazing wines and learning many interesting things that I hope will enhance your food and beverage experience. I am proud to have recently achieved the 'Wine and Spirit Ambassador Award' at The Cateys 2021. Maxime Tribot Restaurant Manager restaurantsl@rchmail.com I have been Restaurant Manager since 2010. I come from just outside Paris where I worked in Michelin starred restaurants and I also enjoyed work experience in Berkshire at the Vineyard at Stockcross. My passion for quality of service and entertainment, combined with the friendliness of my wonderful and vibrantly young team, are important parts of making Summer Lodge seem like your second home. I hope to make your dining experience exceptional, taking care of special requests before your visit. Sarah Bristow Head Of UK Reservations sbristow@rchmail.com I am delighted to lead a wonderful team in the UK, taking care of our guests' reservations. Let us know whether you will be celebrating your honeymoon, birthday, or wedding. It would be our pleasure to oversee your bedroom allocation and put in a special request prior to your arrival. We can also organise any additional extras you may like such as chocolates, champagne and strawberries, which would be waiting for you upon arrival. We will ensure that your stay will be one you fondly remember. Bea Kaczynska Front Office Manager bkaczynska@rchmail.com I feel really lucky to live in Dorset and to have had so many amazing experiences meeting people from all over the world at Summer Lodge. I would be delighted to arrange all aspects of your reservation in advance and during your stay, and to add thoughtful touches such as homemade chocolates, a bouquet of flowers from our in-house florist, a falconry experience or tickets to a local attraction. Joe Layden Regional Maintenance Manager, Dorset & Guernsey I am passionate about our beautiful hotel and enjoy the challenges of looking after many varied historic and listed buildings, coupled with luxurious internal décor and modern technology. I enjoy leading my team to ensure our rooms are maintained to the highest level and will be happy to assist with any queries about your bedroom or facilities. Jonathann Cocogne Head Barman My passion for our bar has helped me to create an extensive beverages list. I hope I will have the opportunity to share with you my love for whiskies and perhaps even entice you to try one of the best in the world from Japan. I can also help you to design your favourite cocktail, book a whisky masterclass or offer you drinks for a 'healthy gut'. I look forward to welcoming you and showing you our Red Carnation passion for excellence. Rosemary Sumner Pike Spa Director spa@summerlodgehotel.co.uk I have been Spa Director at Summer Lodge since 2004. Alongside my team, I am dedicated to providing a holistic wellness experience.

Nicky Smith Spa Manager spa@rchmail.com I am a Holistic Therapist and have been trained in all aspects of beauty therapy for many years.

Relaxation and allowing yourself to 'let go' is essential for our physical and mental health. I look forward to treating you at Summer Lodge Spa. Sophie Bridle Therapist spa@rchmail.com I am an experienced warm and calm therapist. I love to listen to our guests needs to ensure I provide the most beneficial treatment and the best experience possible.

Maureen Hughes Executive Housekeeper Total comfort and cleanliness are the aims of my cheerful and hardworking team. No two rooms are the same and furnished as they are in the style of a large private home, they create a homely feel that is as pleasurable for us as we hope it will be for you. The aspect of my job that I enjoy the most is the attention that I pay to detail as well as the comfort and care I relish in providing to our guests.
