Is it just us, or is chowder an every-season kind of meal? 🤤

There’s something about a good, hearty bowl that just feels like home.. especially here in Nova Scotia (and the Maritimes).

Our Village Pub Chowder is packed with haddock, scallops, shrimp, and mussels, finished in our house-made base and topped with fried potato. Served with toasted ciabatta on the side.

Available by the bowl or cup, to suit whatever you’re craving.

And if you’re joining us tonight:

🧠 Thursday is Trivia Night
6–8 PM with host Adam Scott

A good meal, a warm bowl, and a little friendly competition... not a bad way to spend a Thursday, eh!

Hope to see you soon in Chester’s Living Room. 🍻
