The Hancock Inn Reviews List

The Hancock Inn

Enjoy the special setting and atmosphere that over 200 years of service has created at The Hancock Inn. Since 1789, the Hancock Inn has developed a reputation for outstanding food and hospitality. Those traditions are alive and well today supported by Executive Chef Rob Grant, whose kitchen features seasonally inspired comfort foods and the Inn"s perennial favorite, Shaker Cranberry Pot Roast, and in the front of the house by owners Jarvis and Marcia Coffin and an experienced staff.
Dinner is served in the Inn's colonial main dining room or the cozy Tavern, both with fireplaces, and a small private dining room is available for parties of six to ten. Full bar service, an approachable wine list and a nice selection of bottled beers compliment the dinner service at The Hancock Inn.
Come relax and enjoy dinner in the "Currier & Ives" corner of New Hampshire Or consider spending the night as well.

"We so enoyed our Easter dinner at The Hancock Inn this year. We hadn't been there since the change in ownership. They have expanded the dinning area. They offer nice choices and had high quality service. We will go back soon!"

"This is a very special restaurant, in New Hampshire's oldest operating inn. The innkeepers/restauranteurs provide a variety of dinner dishes, both imaginative and typical top American cuisine, using as many local products as available."
