We cater special events:
The ambiance of the Inn lends itself to weddings and rehearsal dinners.
This year we started the season off with a 90th birthday party in May with about 175 guests. We then did a wedding with 75 guests as well as 2 rehearsal dinners, one in the main dining room with 30 guests, and for the other we rented a tent and had a lobster bake on the lower lawn with 70 guests.
We also catered for 95 guests at our Son’s and daughter in law’s wedding on September 19th 2009. In this case we rented the old town hall down the road and took the food there and set it up on an ‘L’ shaped buffet. They got married in the little old church right next door.
So include us in your plans for your special day in 2012.
