The Common Man Restaurant

After a visit to Mitch’s Maples in Chester, Vermont, we drove to Claremont, New Hampshire. Once we arrived, we ate supper at the Common Man Restaurant, On our trip to Golden Pond we had eaten at the Common Man Restaurant in Ashland, New Hampshire, which we enjoyed.  The Claremont location is great with a view of the Sugar River behind the restaurant, I wish it had been warm enough for us to have sat outside.

The Common Man Restaurant starts you off with hot breads and soft butter. They also have a serve your self cheese bar.

I of course tried about three different cheese that the Common Man Restaurant was offering. Our grandson was not adventurous. He wanted only the hard cheese.

For her meal my wife had the steak tip salad.

I had the smokehouse burger. It was different from any that i can recall having. It had a red onion jam and a smoky aioli. This was along with cheese and bacon.

Our grandson again chose to have chicken and fries.

If you are wondering if the Common Man Restaurant was good, I think this answers the question.

Before you leave, take time to walk around Claremont. The Common Man Restaurant has a hotel next to the restaurant which was once an old mill and the views of the river and falls are nice.

After leaving Kennebunk I drove through some beautiful country to get to the Inn On Golden Pond.

 

 

 

The Inn On Golden Pond is located at 1080 U.S. Route 3 Holderness, NH . I found the Inn to be a relaxing place designed to make you feel at home.

The Inn keepers did everything to make you feel welcome.  We enjoyed a fire and pleasant conversation with the inn keeper as he told us about the area and things that we might enjoy doing and seeing in the surrounding area.

The land around the Inn was beautiful.

I also enjoyed the sitting area in our room. It was nice to sit and read while looking out the window and the New Hampshire country side.

 

I found a great place to eat just down Route 3 in Ashland NH.  is the Common Man. We all enjoyed the food and the service. It is easy to pass up because it looks like someone’s house. If you go try the Apple Walnut Chicken or the Chicken Pot Pie.

I enjoyed the breakfast the each morning and the conversation we had with Bill, Bonnie and the other guest. We wished that we could have stayed longer but perhaps we will be able to return again.
