Farm-to-Table meets Orchard-to-Glass

View our Reopening Plan

The Eatery at Merridale

Merridale's Eatery has been reopened for seated dining! Click here to view our reopening plan.

Our eatery is wide open to the orchard and offers an open air patio to allow for social distancing with a maximum of 6 people per table. It is where all of our offerings come together sumptuously: outstanding food, drink and ambiance. Overlooking the orchard meadow, our Eatery offers casual comfort food and British pub-style counter service. We are fairly casual at the Eatery. Come up to the bar to order and we’ll take care of you. Then sit back, relax, and we’ll bring everything to you. We are very passionate about our craft and love to talk about it! If you’d like to know which cider or cocktail pairs well with your food choice, please ask. We are also still offering a take home menu of items that are packed and ready to take home to enjoy later or freeze for the future.

Our eatery is currently open:
11 am to 8 pm Friday - Sunday (Kitchen closes at 7:30 pm)
11 am to 6 pm Monday - Thursday (Kitchen closes at 5:30 pm)

Starting June 20, we have also opened our front lawn for spacious outdoor seating. Weather permitting, we will be having pop-up BBQs on Saturdays and Sundays through-out the summer. These will run from noon to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays. No reservations.  Our eatery will also remain open on these days with a full menu.

We are not currently accepting reservations for groups of less than 20 people. If you have questions about making an event booking for a group of 20 or more, please email us at [email protected]
