Testimonials

"Summerill & Bishop is filled with things that a foodie would love, like handmade glasses, beautiful ceramics, the best chopping boards, vintage linens. Everything is incredibly chic and so well put together. It's seductive. You walk in and suddenly want to throw away everything in your kitchen and start over." Tricia Guild, Designers Guild (interview in Veranda Magazine US), June 2012

“Inspirational and eclectic with a unique and personal blend”  Grove Magazine, 2006

“…on Portland Road in London lies the kitchen shop of a wanderer’s dreams: Summerill & Bishop. Their unusual inventory makes the heart sing, so selective is their combined eye, it’s as though you asked them to buy for you alone.” Saveur Magazine, No.9

“Summerill & Bishop in West London sells the most desirable kitchen goodies in a shop you’d love to eat in….it is a kitchen shop to make your mouth water. Natural wooden utensils jostle with pans, classic linen glass cloths hang next to strings of garlic: the atmosphere is one of an open cuisine/salle à manger in deepest France, tucked away in the chicest par of West London.” Daily Mail YOU Magazine, 1998

“At Summerill & Bishop you enter a dreamy world of languorous, sun-baked Mediterranean afternoons, of homemade bread, freshly caught shellfish and tomatoes plucked straight from the vine…” The Financial Times, How to Spend It, 1996
