Meet our Merchants

John of Gammon Coach House

Meet Jon With, the owner of Gammon Coach House, located in a charming former carriage house dating back to 1886. After a brief closure to complete necessary repairs on the 140-year-old structure, Jon reopened the doors with a refreshed menu. The new offerings highlight classic smash burgers and a thoughtfully curated selection of beers to suit every palate. By streamlining the menu, the team has elevated the quality of ingredients, resulting in truly exceptional food.

At Gammon Coach House, the ambiance strikes a perfect balance between historic charm and casual comfort. It’s a place where patrons feel instantly welcomed—where the staff might know your name, and there’s never a rush to leave. Whether you're seated at the intimate wooden bar or nestled at a cozy table, the atmosphere encourages guests to linger and relax. It’s easy to see why many consider it the town’s communal “living room.”

The unique character shines through in its preserved wooden interior, the visible hayloft trap door, and the cozy scale of the original carriage house. One of its most beloved features is the outdoor patio, which stands out for being dog-friendly—a welcome perk for pet owners. It’s not unusual to see dogs lounging by the table, complete with bandanas and water bowls, as their owners enjoy a beer or a glass of wine. This thoughtful touch adds to the warm, community-oriented spirit of the place.

Gammon Coach House is where friendships are fostered, milestones are celebrated, and everyone feels at home.
