Bakehouse
Starting at $250
Up to 20 guests
Imagine stepping inside this 1753 Bakehouse where our hearth cook, dressed in period attire, is preparing a delicious meal over the crackling flames within the 16 ½-foot hearth. Or go simple and gather your friends, family, or colleagues for an intimate meeting or a small get-together where you can unwind with a glass of wine and savor a selection of fine cheeses. The possibilities are boundless.
Hearth cooking, a traditional method of food preparation, involves cooking directly over an open flame using various utensils and techniques. It harkens back to a time when the hearth was the heart of the home and meals were crafted with care and skill, imparting a unique flavor and nostalgia to the dishes.
Ask us about the cost of the intimate hearth cooking experience. Restrooms, electricity, and running water are available for an additional fee.
