The Knowles family, owners of The Manor, Highlawn Pavilion, and Pleasantdale Chateau & Conference Resort in West Orange, New Jersey, acquired Ram's Head Inn in 1979. Renowned for fine country dining, this country cozy restaurant has also developed a reputation as the place for private parties.
One of the charming attractions of leisurely dining at Ram's Head Inn is the sunlit Gallery, a showcase of paintings by local artists who offer their works for sale. Here guests can enjoy before- and after-dinner beverages while listening to soft piano music and viewing the exhibit of lovely works of art.
Guests at Ram's Head Inn have a chance to enjoy quiet, distinctive country dining in an elegant and cozy atmosphere. Cocktails and other beverages can be enjoyed in the Gallery, or in the Tavern by the fireplace.
Wood-burning fireplaces and soft candlelight also enhance the dining rooms, where traditional American specialties such as Pilgrim Creamy Chicken Pot Pie with Dumplings in a Copper Kettle, and Glazed Crisp Roasted Duckling with Rice are featured year round.
Ram's Head Inn is also a favorite party place. Whether it's an intimate group of ten, a lavish gala for 350, a business or corporate meeting, Ram's Head Inn provides outstanding facilities, service and food. And what bride can resist a wedding ceremony in the parlor, with the warm ambiance of glowing fireplaces in Fall and Wintertime or a magnificent ceremony in the lovely Spring and Summer gardens.
The glass-enclosed Veranda, and its magnificent view of the gardens, provides a spectacular setting for birthday parties, fund-raisers, luncheons, bar mitzvahs, weddings, theme parties and other functions.
The Grand Ballroom, with its Colonial Williamsburg decor and charm, can handle up to 350 guests comfortably; or it can be utilized for meetings, seminars and other such corporate events.
Unforgettable moments can be photographed in the beautiful brick courtyard, a little touch of Colonial America perfect for cocktails or outdoor wedding ceremonies.
The Colonial Room provides the locale for business meetings, intimate receptions and celebrations for up to fifty people, and the Private Dining Room is a lovely, traditionally colonial setting for small family gatherings or private business functions around the table set for twelve. It can be used together with the adjoining Federal Room which accommodates 20 guests.
Ram's Head Inn banquet functions offer white-glove tableside service and beautiful accoutrements such as silver, elegant china and stemware. The superb menus are complemented by broad wine list selections. To enhance each party, Ram's Head Inn's staff can help arrange for flowers, music, limousines, photographers - even invitations and a justice of the peace! For those who prefer to host a function in a home, office, or other locale, Ram's Head Inn offers equally superb off-premises catering.
