Dinner
Dinner at Temple House is a wonderful experience. Bring a
group of friends, family or whoever and be seated around a huge mahogany table with views down the lake and an open fire cracking contentedly beside you.
Sample Menu
Menus are seasonal and vary each time – this is a sample
We take great care to source our ingredients as locally as possible, often mere metres from the dining room. We offer a set menu but are always pleased to cater for dietary requirements with advance notice. In other words, if there is something that you do not or cannot eat just tell us.
