Local Restaurants Still Donating Meals To Those In Need

By

Last week Wheat Penny ended up distributing almost 500 meals over 2 days. Owner Liz Valenti shared, “We feel that there are so many people- including families with children that are experiencing food insecurity right now that we need to prepare donation meals again this week. We were so moved by the response we received from people that we fed, as well as our Dayton community. We are so grateful to have an opportunity to give back to our friends, neighbors and anyone that is experiencing food insecurity. These are challenging times, but we are Dayton Strong”❤️

British Gastropub Opens in Enon

By

About two weeks ago the doors to The Last Queen Gastropub opened on East Main Street in Enon. The 49 seat eatery is rustic and charming serving up british classics, ale and more.  Upon entering you grab a table, then head to the bar to place your order at which time you’ll be given a wooden spoon with a number and a British Character on it.  We got Harry Potter, but spotted Winston Churchill, The Queen and Idris Elba on other tables in the dining room. When ready, a runner brings your food to the table.

On Saturday and Sunday from 9:30am – noon they serve a traditional Full English Breakfast with local eggs, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms, sausage, bacon baked beans and toast.

The lunch/dinner menu offers “Bite with A Pint” like roasted spicy nuts, an olive mash with cracker and a small very basic charcuterie board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the full menu:

As expected the fish and chips were very good.

The bar was well stocked and you can even enjoy a flight of whiskey.

 

The sticky toffee pudding was spot on.  The also offer tiramisu, crafted by Grist Provisions and a rotating assortment of ice cream flavors from Hartzler Faimily Dairy.

The menu identifies locally sourced items as well as vegetarian options.

Once the patio is open there are another 40 or so seats available
