We decided to go to 1640 Hart House on Linebrook Road in Ispwich for dinner on a recent cold winter evening. This old house has been adapted for restaurant and event use. The minute you walk onto those wide plank wood floors, you know you’re experiencing part of history. The ceilings in the dining rooms is low and the lighting is dim (the way it would have been in pre-electricity days) but the service is attentive and friendly. We found it to be quite full for a weekday dinner which is a good sign!
We were seated in the Keepers Room which was intimate and cozy. I had the Fish and Chips (which you can see was HUGE) and Jim ordered Chicken Milanese. Warm bread preceded our drinks which were generously poured. We finished with a classic (for the sake of this post only haha) apple crisp. It was a nice little excursion to Ipswich and we’ll plan to go again sooner than later.
Good Morning Gloucester
