Food Scene
Our favorite local eatery. Can't beat the pub food (with many vegetarian options)-- and then there are the to-die-for quiches courtesy of the "pie lady." Housed in an historic building, Boxers embraces the period architectural and decorative elements that evoke a sense of the genuine, the sincere in the character of the business.
Our out-of-town cottage guests rave about the extensive beer selection (imported and domestic) that they say rivals that of urban pubs.
