SUMMARY:GRIS250 ~ Sunday Hunt Brunch
DESCRIPTION:Our original Hunt Breakfast traces its roots to 1814\, when the Inn was commandeered during the British Raid on Essex and a hearty breakfast in the style of one served at an English hunt was demanded. Today\, Hunt Brunch honors that legacy with a thoughtfully prepared à la carte menu\, offering breakfast and luncheon dishes in the spirit of the original table but suited to more “modern” palates and preferences.\nMake your Sunday experience jazzier! From 12:30 – 2:30 we’re bringing back a tradition of live Dixieland in our Tap Room.\nReservations Recommended – online or by calling 860.767.1776.
