We attended the Chef’s Table Wedding Tasting on Monday, April 22, 2024 at the Publick House Historic Inn and we are excited to share that we have decided on the two dinner selections for our reception.

After trying several delicious dishes, we decided that for our “chicken entrée” we are selecting the Orchard Chicken, which is a baked chicken breast with a savory sausage-cornbread stuffing topped with an apple cider sauce. The Orchard chicken will be accompanied by scalloped potatoes and the seasonal vegetable. For the “fish entrée” we have selected the Buttercrisp Scrod, which is a classic New England whitefish that is both flakey and buttery, battered in cracker crumbs, and topped with a flavorful house lemon-dill sauce. The Buttercrisp Scrod will be accompanied by rice pilaf and green beans. The Vegan and Vegetarian entrées will be Chef’s Choice and will be comprised of seasonal produce and flavors. Each table will also include a bread basket of fresh dinner rolls and the Publick House’s famous pecan sweet rolls.
The Publick House Historic Inn features traditional New England-style dining and true Yankee hospitality. The culinary team is skilled and committed to creating quality dishes that embrace seasonal flavors and classic New England favorites. It is our hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

As of February 14, 2024, we have added a second room block at the Hampton Inn Sturbridge, located at 328 Main Street, Sturbridge, MA 01566. It is 0.4 miles from the venue. There are pet-friendly rooms ($75.00 pet fee) and free parking.

There are a total of 25 rooms available in the block. There are 15 rooms available for those planning to stay from 10/25/24-10/27/24 and 10 rooms available for those just staying one night from 10/26/24-10/27/24. The rate is $219.00/night.
