Bucks Food Calendar: April 15, 2015 Bucks Food Calendar: April 1, 2015 Bucks Food Calendar: April 22, 2015

On Hallows eve, the town will be bustling,
While leaves overhead in trees start rustling
There’s goblins, ghosts, grim reapers galore,
and, a Halloween in Bucks County that will make you want more. 
With happy hours, beer tasting, dinners and drinks to make you feel merry,
There’s no reason to stay home during a weekend so fun (and so scary)! 

1. No Place Like Home Yappy Hour

Fri, Oct. 30, 5-10 pm, 600 Rockhill Dr, Bensalem, PA

A happy hour with adoptable pups seems like any animal lover’s dream come true. If you join the Women’s Humane Society for a Wizard of Oz “Yappy Hour,” on October 30, from 5-10 pm, you can experience just that. It will be a night of food and drink specials, meet and greet with the pups, and you can come dressed in your best “Wizard of Oz” inspired costumes. Dance the night away with a guest DJ and have a blast, while supporting a good cause of homeless and needy animals in the community.

Yappy Hour vouchers will be available for purchase prior to the event, which can be used for either a complimentary drink (beer, wine, or martini) or appetizer of your choosing. During the event, guests can make a donation of any amount towards the Women’s Humane Society’s animals and they’ll receive 25% off of their entire bill for the night as a “thank you” for their support.

2. Eat, Drink and Be Scary

Fri, Oct. 30, 7-10 pm, Crossing Vineyards and Winery, 1853 Wrightstown Road, Newtown PA

Halloween is not just for the kids. An adult-only evening of wine tasting, fortune telling and sweet treats is happening from 7-10 pm on Friday, October 30 at Crossing Vineyards and Winery. There will be tarot card or palm readings, and you can put on your best costume for the chance to win a prize. Reservation is necessary and additional wine is available for purchase. It’s $40 per person, so call 215.493.6500, ext. 19 or buy here.

3. Spicewine Sale at Peace Valley Winery

Fri, Oct. 30 – Sun, Nov. 1, Peace Valley Winery, 300 Old Limekiln Road, Chalfont, PA

Adults need to have a special treat during Halloween too. Don your best costume this Friday, October 30 through Sunday, November 1, at the Peace Valley Winery. Their Spicewine and Spiced Apple Wine will be on sale for 10% off. The wines can be served warm for a Halloween party. If you wear your costume on Saturday, October 31, you will receive an additional 10% off your wine purchase. Their Dark Overlord (Rob) will determine if you are in costume. It’s best you impress him (depending on how badly you want your wine).

4. Fall Harvest 10k, 5k & Kid’s Fun Run

Sat, Oct. 31, 9 am, The Market at DelVal, Delaware Valley University, 2100 Lower State Rd, Doylestown, PA

5. Candy Apple Workshop

Sat, Oct. 31, 10 am-12 pm, Cairnwood Estate, 1005 Cathedral Road, Bryn Athyn PA

We know this isn’t Bucks County, but it’s right over the border in Montgomery County — and it’s too sweet to pass up!

Come to Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn, on Saturday, October 31, for a family-friendly candy apple workshop. The workshop is from 10 am to 12 pm. Some of the activities include making a gourmet candy apple with assorted toppings, dressing up in Victiorian era clothing for an old-time photograph, and enjoying spiced cider and s’mores. The event is free and the workshop is $5 per person. The 5×7 keepsake photos are $15 each, additional copies are $5 a photo. Wear a Halloween costume for a special prize!

6. Beer Tasting: Pumpkin Beer

Sun, Nov. 1, 5 pm, Washington House Restaurant, 136 N. Main Street, Sellersville PA

Another Halloween event just for the adults! Come to the Washington House on Sunday, November 1 for a pumpkin beer tasting. It starts at 5 pm so you’ll have plenty of time to try them all. You might have been to the Washington House before for flights of wine, but the beer is great too and definitely a good way to start the new month.

Have a great weekend!

It’s a week of last-minute shopping to make sure the holiday parties are ready to go. If you’re looking for additions to the party you’re hosting or maybe you just want some food for the week so you don’t have to cook, any of these places will do. It’s the busiest week for a lot of markets and shops in the area, so calling ahead could never hurt. 

• Pasqualina’s Italian Market and Deli: Celebrate the holiday with some fine and fresh Italian food and deli items from this local market. Pasqualina’s has daily made soups, made to order hoagies, a panini of the day, as well as market items like cheese (over 90 different kinds), Bucks County Biscotti, San Marzano tomatoes and sauces, and more.
• Peddler’s Village: For your last-minute shopping this week, Peddler’s Village shops are open Monday through Wednesday from 10 am-9 pm, and on Christmas Eve 10 am -4 pm. Shops are closed on Christmas Day. There are items for the home, gifts from local artisans, unique toys, comfy foods and more at the Village.

All undecorated wreaths are 30% off through December 24 (while supplies left). And, since it’s getting cold (finally?) they have wood pellets. They also have daily lunch specials you can order at the counter, in case you just need a grab-and-go lunch.

• Linden Hill Gardens: Wreaths can add a festive touch to any house (indoors and outdoors). The wreaths at Linden Hill are crafted by hand using combinations of materials like fir, boxwood, chamaecyparis, rhododendron and juniper with berries. They also have had holiday plants, books for sale and fir candles. Call 610.847.1300 to see what’s still available.
• The Larder: Tucked away in Doylestown, The Larder has unique spices and tons of candies and sweets to make any holiday complete. They have Amish goodies, chocolate covered nuts, gift baskets, seasonings, and candies that you remember from your childhood past. They have holiday hours this week which you can find here.

All you can eat, and eat, and eat: I like to think of pasta as the gift that keeps on giving. Every bite is warm and tasty, and having leftovers is the best part. Don’t worry about bringing any pasta home when there is an all-you-can-eat pasta night on our calendar. If you’ve looked but never ventured out, this week head into town so you don’t have to cook. One pasta night is from 5 – 10 pm on Tuesday, December 22 at Bell’s Tavern in Lambertville, NJ. You get meat or marinara sauce spaghetti with a garden salad, garlic bread — all for $10 per person. You can also get a bottle of wine for half price. Call 609.397.2226 for any questions. There is also an all-you-can-eat pasta or wings night at Fran’s Pub from 4:30 – 6:30 pm on Thursdays.

The groundhog might have said that winter is on its way out, but we are feeling anything but spring outside. With the bitter cold, it’s easy to feel the February doldrums. But there are lots of things happening this week to keep you upbeat, warm and happy.

There will be a free dinner at the Presbyterian Church of Deep Run in Perkasie today, February 15. The church always opens its doors the third Monday of each month so the community can have home cooked meals and tasty desserts. The meal is served in Hoopes Hall from 5:30-6:30 pm. The menu this Monday is chicken casserole with rice, and homemade desserts. Note: During the winter, if Pennridge School District closes due to inclement weather, the dinner will not be held on that day. Call ahead to check: 215.249.3689.

Also tonight, lobster two ways tonight at Milford Oyster House (yes, it’s in New Jersey but it looks too good to pass up). Try the lobster salad roll in the tavern and or whole lobster served out of the shell atop a tangle of angel hair pasta with lemon butter sauce and garnished with fresh asparagus. Seems like it will warm up all the cold souls on both sides of the river. The Milford Oyster House opens at 5 pm today.

This should cheer you up. For the entire month of February, The Market at DelVal is offering 20% off just about everything in its entire store for customers shopping after 3 pm.

The Market at DelVal, a locovore’s dream, offers locally grown foods; fresh produce; locally made jams, dressings and salsas; locally raised honey, and many other unique novelties not found anywhere else in the area. Their bakery also makes homemade goodies every day, which are my personal favorite! The discount does not apply to milk products, eggs, catered food, Pepperidge Farm products or items already discounted.

Mark your calendar now! There are a few interesting and tasty events coming up next week, and what do you know, they are all on the same day: Wednesday, February 24. Better put all three in a hat to pick one because it’s going to be a hard decision:

• Wine dinner – Jamison Publick House, Pennsburg, PA [Wed, Feb 24, 6 – 8 pm]
• An Evening of Tastes and Tales with Jim Hamilton – Hamilton’s Grill Room, Lambertville, NJ [Wed, Feb 24, 6:30 – 9 pm]
• Bubbles & BBQ – Yardley Inn, Yardley, PA [Wed, Feb 24, 7 – 9 pm]

For more details on any of these events, please go to our full calendar, Food Events in Bucks County.

Looking to just enjoy a simple night out this week? It’s good to live in a beautiful place like Bucks County that attracts folks from all over. It’s even better to get in on some “local” deals. Restaurants in the area love their locals by offering special prix fixe dinners during the week. It’s a great opportunity to experience that restaurant you’ve been meaning to try—at a great price. Check out our post about Locals Nights in Bucks County and nearby.

There’s something about living in an area where everyone really supports the local businesses and the community. Bucks County is home to so many unique shops, restaurants, wineries, chocolatiers, farms, and other places to eat. Good thing there’s always things going on during the week to keep the locals happy and satisfied!

BBQ and Champagne? You’ve probably tried beer and BBQ but what about pairing southern dishes with some sparkling wine? This Wednesday, February 24, the Yardley Inn presents their Bubbles & BBQ Dinner, where you can enjoy champagne, cava and other sparkling wines, paired with five delicious courses. The dinner starts at 7 pm and is $85 per person plus tax and gratuity.

Executive Chef Eben Copple has prepared a great menu. The first course is grilled oysters, lemon oil, pickled heart of palm paired with Hacienda Methode Champenoise Sparkling. The second course will be country ham, blistered peppers, redeye mayo, sweet potato biscuit paired with Casa Del Mar Cava.

Wine Dinner. This Wednesday, February 24 the Jamison Publick House will host a wine dinner. The restaurant (not to be confused with the Jamison Pour House) is located just over the county line in Montgomery County (even though it isn’t Bucks, this historic hotel turned restaurant is just too good to pass up). The dinner is $80 and starts at 6 pm. Executive chef Stephen Yeager is working on an inspired menu that will pair with wines that “mean something.” The Jamison Family is presently accepting reservations for the limited number of seats available for this dinner. Call 215.375.8886.

Eating local and celebrating local businesses is what it’s all about! Come out for the 7th Annual Bucks Locavore event, on Thursday, February 25 from 5 – 8 pm. This event is a great opportunity to taste local food and network. The event began seven years ago when Superior Woodcraft in Doylestown teamed up with the Doylestown Business Community Alliance (DBCA) to raise awareness of local businesses, local farms and local foods. Over 30 local producers will be offering samples of their products, everything from moonshine to pansy marmalade to the best craft brews in the region. This is a free event open to the public. More information is available here.

Here’s just a “taste” of who will be there:

• Doylestown Brewing Co.
• Giggling Goat Dairy
• Laurie’s Chocolates
• The Market at DelVal
• Offbeat Gourmet
• Rose Bank Winery
• Sole Kombucha
• Wycombe Vineyard

This weekend, we’ve got some typical March weather. Although it feels like spring now, the daffodils are in for a shock — it looks like we may get some snow Sunday night (yuck). But don’t let it get you down. Forge ahead.

It’s almost time for Easter which means plenty of time with the Easter Bunny, sweet treats, and other things to contribute to your spring fever. And don’t forget, this weekend two restaurant weeks will start. See which restaurants are participating and the specials they are offering in our restaurant week post here.

Get ready for a hauntingly good Hallo-weekend. Halloween falls on a Monday this year, which means you can spend the weekend preparing for trick-or-treaters, and adding some last-minute alterations to your costume. This year, I’m looking forward to seeing some of the most-searched for costumes on Google, like Eleven (from Stranger Things), Harley Quinn, Star Wars characters, and of course, one of the 2016 presidential candidates.

This weekend, you can find plenty of Halloween-inspired events. Sip spooky cocktails, pick pumpkins, and grab some dinner before you party with all your costume-wearing friends.
