In December, our new dinner menu will feature winter specialties such as fresh, crisp apples from Lively Orchards Farm in Flat Rock, NC. With a firm belief in locally sourced goods of the highest integrity, Executive Chef Jeff infuses each of the Club’s seasonal menus with the best from the best. From local waterways to nearby orchards, it’s this dedication that defines the Berkeley Hall dining experience.
Some of our most popular entrées feature Anson Mill grits and rice, harvested in Columbia SC; our fresh, local fish is from Bluffton’s Russo Seafood; and our houseserved poultry comes from Prestige Farms of Murrells Inlet, SC. We welcome you to join us for dinner at the Berkeley Hall dining table – all you need are reservations! Winter squashes, such as butternut and kabocha will be coming our way from Tuten Farms in nearby Hampton, SC; and hydroponic lettuces from Charleston, SC. Delicious Shiitake mushrooms are just some of the specialties from Rebecca Farms in Hemingway, SC; and Muscadine grapes are sourced for our homemade sorbet from Watsonia Farms of Monetta, SC.
From tiered chocolates to vanilla fondant, there’s nothing like a custom cake by our very own Pastry Chef Owen to make your celebrations even more special. Your next event, large or small, needs one of our master baker’s custom beauties, created just for you. So, next time your party needs a grand finale, or you have a special birthday or anniversary celebration, stop by and put us to the challenge!

“Fresh Water For Flowers” by Valerie Perrin French bestseller Perrin’s novel features narrator Violette Toussaint as a cemetery keeper at Brancionen-Chalon cemetery in Burgundy. She arrived there 20 years ago with nogood husband Philippe, a philanderer who disappeared shortly after. Philippe turns out to be living 100 kilometers away with another woman, she learns from handsome detective Julien Seul, whose recently deceased mother, Irène, decreed her ashes be placed on the grave of a man not her husband. Perrin’s narrative intertwines plot strands concerning Irène’s decades long affair, the growing attraction between her son and the cemetery keeper, the tragic story of the Toussaints’ daughter, and a chorus of new voices.
