OUTDOOR HOSPITALITY IN
NEW LONDON With a little creativity and positivity, the owners of the Inn at Pleasant Lake and New London Inn created success this summer.

The New London Inn and the Inn at Pleasant Lake have joined forces to provide guests a safe and desirable experience. Diners want to eat outside and be assured that all recommended safety protocols are in place. Our success in 2020 has been to optimize out outdoor spaces and continue to offer the very best food and service, while making our guests comfortable. At Oak & Grain at the Inn at Pleasant Lake, we turned our fabulous patio into an outdoor dining room and changed from our traditional 5-course prix fix, to an a la carte format. The response has been tremendous and we are filling reservations about a week ahead. In addition to the spectacular views of Pleasant Lake and Mount Kearsarge from the Patio, we offer
spacious seating, sail canopies for shade and protection, bistro lighting, heaters, music and more – everything you need ot make your dining experience comfortable.
The Coach House Restaurant at New London Inn offers fine dining on our heated, covered porch overlooking Main Street. We also renovated our back patio. Nestled within lovely gardens, trellis overhead, heaters
and fire pit, this space offers spacious dining in a grotto-like setting. For a fun and flavorful new experience, check out our TAPAS on the Veranda and The New London Inn. This Service is set on our upper balcony, overlooking Main Street, and captures an amazing sunset when conditions are right. Small, creative plates allow you to try many dishes. Full bar. Live music when available. Mother Nature has been incredibly supportive this season, and we have been grateful.
