Farm-to-Table meets Orchard-to-Glass

View our Reopening Plan

The Eatery at Merridale

Merridale's Eatery is open seated dining! Click here to view our  COVID-19 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 grab and go menu of items that are packed and ready to take home to enjoy later or freeze for the future.

We are currently only taking reservations for our dinner service from 4pm to 8pm. See link below to make your reservation. 

Reservations are not required for lunch or brunch.
