Kettlehead Tavern

The sandwiches were uninspired, but what really got me was the soggy fries. They had the consistency of thick noodles... I have never seen such poorly prepared french fries in my life. Not like the kitchen had much else to do either. Anyway - the Kettlehead Tavern is off the list. Curiously, while walking back to the car, we noticed that the Breeze seemed to be doing a brisk business, so we will try that next time.

I guess they do a great in Tilton, but they better change things up in Meredith or they won't last long.
I went when they first opened, their beer was great, but their food was terrible, guess that hasn't changed.

It's kind of interesting that people are saying how bad it is. I have been to the Tilton one once. I can't drink beer so it's all about the food for me, and it wasn't bad if I can remember. They opened a few up, Meredith and Nashua that I know of. So they must be doing something right somewhere? Or is the chef in Meredith that bad?
I'm still waiting for a Distillery to open a pub up.

A long ride from Gilford, but the next town over for me... this distillery is worth a visit. In the summer they sell boxed lunches that you can grab and go sit by the river... https://tamworthdistilling.com/

Have a few whiskey's from them, and my wife likes their Gin. Go there at least 2 times a year to stock up. I agree, well worth it and sit by the river and have a drink.

Had negative experience there. Snooty/unwelcoming. We did purchase a bottle because they are local-pricey!
Won’t return.
We do like cathedral ledge products!
