Joys of Winter




The New Year at The Gamekeeper always starts off with the restaurant closing four days of the week! Sounds great for about a day. Our days of service are Thursday through Saturday, due to being in a very seasonal area. The majority of our customer base is summer traffic. However, we do have great local support, year round, and we appreciate you very much! You know who you are. Our local crowd also knows that the cold snowy nights, with few other diners, are sometimes the most memorable. For the chefs, it is sometimes very difficult to purchase for such a small window of service but I guess it is these challenges that keep things interesting when other challenges change with the weather. I don't know what it is with the weather but it always seems to stay relatively nice, until Thursday, the first day of service for the week. Cancellations, icy roads, loss of power, no deliveries, always on the days we are supposed to open. Why? I wish I knew. Happy New Year! Can't wait till summer!
