WE LIKE FOOD....and are always looking to prepare our local seafood, poultry, meats and the bountiful summer produce in a comforting and flavorful way. These ingredients are transformed into dishes with recipes from around the world—from Tennessee (Nancy’s home state) and Maryland (Tom’s home state) to India—and a lot of places between. We feel it is important to support our local fishing and farming industries, so we use as much as we can from our local suppliers.

Casual Pub Fare

Sometimes, just a good hamburger suits the food craving. We make a good one—best in Castine! Other pub favorites offered are: fish ‘n chips, gardenburgers, hot wings, Caesar salad, homemade soups and sometimes the much requested tacos!

Dinner Fare

From day one, a favorite, crabcakes (Maryland style) have been on the menu using our local crab. Nancy’s additions to the menu are the Indian curries, from her time in India; Cuban/Caribbean dishes from her living in Miami; fried chicken from her southern roots and many dishes from winter travel to other cultures. Desserts are made here, usually by Nancy and her specialty seems to be pies! Pies are very comforting! However, the Carrot Cake or Italian Cream Cake, the Profiteroles, Chocolate Mousse, and Meringues and loved as well.

If you choose to sit in the pub, which is like “Cheers,” especially on a Thursday night, you’ll see many of the locals having a good time. When the weather is cool or downright cold, a fire will be in the fireplace making the atmosphere even more welcoming! In the library also with a fireplace, just adjacent to the pub, offers a little more privacy. In the summer, the dining room’s appeal is the VIEW. Even in the summer, one can see the Castine and Penobscot Bays. The 2007 storm took away trees, but gave us a fabulous view. There is plenty of room for larger parties.
