Welcome visitors!

The Lois and David Weltman Dining Room in the Mitton House is both the showcase of the College and an interactive classroom offering hands-on experience for the culinary and hospitality students in our Roger A. Saunders School of Hotel & Restaurant Management.

Culinary courses run throughout the semester in 13-day increments, during which time students are engaged in an educational setting for six hours per day. Students enrolled in Classic Contemporary Kitchen, Dining Room, Classical Dining Room, and International Kitchen courses operate the Weltman Dining Room to serve the Newbury community and our guests.

When these classes are running the Weltman Dining Room is open for lunch and dinner service Monday through Thursday. On selected weekends throughout the academic year, prix fixe Saturday lunches are also offered. All culinary classes come together several times each semester to present an elaborate feast known as our Grand Buffet for students, faculty/staff, visiting high school students, and guests. This buffet often includes hors d'oeuvres, breads and rolls, classical cuisine, special desserts and pastries, and a display of elaborate ice carvings.

Our a la carte lunch menu serves food prepared by our International Cuisine class. The dinner menu is based on contemporary cuisine with classical French underpinnings. On selected evenings, guests will be treated to the cuisine of Newbury College culinary graduates through the Newbury College Alumni Guest Chef Event Program.

As a guest of this "hidden jewel" at Newbury College, you will enjoy the atmosphere and cuisine created by our students in their real world classroom. We hope you will join us this year for an intimate dining experience prepared by our students for you. From the links on this page, you can learn about the history of the Mitton House and the Weltman Dining Room and you can check out the lunch and dinner menus.

We look forward to seeing you this semester,
