MENU
You will enjoy working directly with our chef to determine and/or modify the menu that will
work best for you. We pride ourselves in being able to offer something for everyone, so are
always willing to customize menus and accommodate dietary restrictions.
In order to provide our patrons with the freshest of product, the menus herein are subject to
change due to product availability.
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES & BAR SET-UP
Your initial decision is whether or not to provide your guests with alcoholic beverages.
Should you choose do so, we will work with you to offer what is most appropriate, and the
options are pretty open-ended.
1) Open Bar: We are more than happy to provide a totally open-ended bar, but we do
recommend that a bar budget be established. Our staff then tracks the sales and when the
limit is close to being reached, you or your designee make the decision to continue or
discontinue bar service. This totally eliminates any surprises at the end of the event. It is
possible to place restrictions on open bar offerings, i.e., beer & wine only, beer, wine & rail liquors,
etc.
2) Cash Bar: When you are not offering alcoholic beverages to your guests, please include on
your invitations a cash bar notation. You don’t want your guests to be surprised or upset
when they receive a bill for the alcoholic beverages they have enjoyed (and assumed you
were paying for). Please note that non-alcoholic beverages are included in dinner packages. Upon
conclusion of dinner (during any post-event activities) and for cocktail-style receptions, nonalcoholic beverages are not included and are payable based upon consumption or according to the
non-alcoholic beverage package (priced per person).
For private events of 30 or more people, an event bartender is required, the fee for which is
$100. We recommend one (1) bartender for up to 80 people; more than that requires at least
two (2) bartenders.
GUARANTEE
At least five (5) days prior to the event date, the final number of attendees must be submitted
to The Brick staff, and the group will be charged based on this number. If no guarantee
number is given by phone or in writing, the highest number shown on the Event Contract will
be applied and charged.
~2~
If the party exceeds the guaranteed number and is greater than 10%, every effort will be made
to accommodate the guests. We cannot, however, guarantee the availability of seating and/or
menu items. The final charge will be based on the guaranteed number, the highest number on
the Event Contract, or the actual number of attendees, whichever is greater.
DEPOSIT & PAYMENT
An Event Contract must be signed and returned as confirmation of the venue rental.
Reservations are not final until this contract and the room rental fee are received.
• The venue rental fee is payable in full at the time of booking.
• A 25% catering deposit is due prior to the event on the date specified in the
Contract.
• The balance will be due immediately upon conclusion of the event.
If the company or organization is tax-exempt, a copy of your tax-exempt certificate must be
submitted with and attached to the Event Contract.
The Brick can provide separate bills for beverages and for food, but cannot provide any
additional separate checks. Payments can be by cash, check or credit card. All major credit
cards are accepted.
SERVICE CHARGE
For all group events, a 20% Gratuity/Service Charge will be added to the final catering bill or
to individual checks, as appropriate.
LODGING DISCOUNTS
A 10% lodging discount is extended to all guests who are part of or attend events at The Brick.
(Discounts may not be applicable on holidays or special event dates, and may not be combined
with other offers.)
Event lodging discounts must be arranged for in advance with the Innkeeper.

Menu ~ 5

Tea are included in all packages – all other non-alcoholic beverages are $2 each. 20% gratuity additional.
Cocktail Receptions
For those who want to promote movement among and interaction with the guests, a Cocktail
Reception may be a good option. With these receptions, there is limited seating as determined
for the event, and our professional staff butlers many of the hors d’oeuvres. This simply
means that we pass them among the guests (rather than sitting them out) which serves two
purposes. Firsts, it insures that the items being served remain hot and fresh, and secondly, we
can monitor the food intake so that the menu choices, perhaps, may last longer.
It is a misconception that providing hors d’oeuvres versus a dinner will be a less expensive
option. So, before dismissing providing a plated dinner for your guests, be sure to look at
both.
We customize each and every Cocktail Reception, therefore there is no fixed price sample. We
will work with you to develop a menu that will meet the group’s needs, and will include food
types that your guests will enjoy!
