Beverage and Cocktail Program

Cocktails

Scarlet Oak Tavern's cocktail menu is innovative, seasonally appropriate, and evolving, utilizing product such as Bancroft Barrel Select Privateer Rum, house made bitters and tinctures, and lesser known artisanal spirits. With an emphasis on house originals and classics prepared as they were meant to be, the beverage program is updated frequently, but retains the highest level of standards using the highest quality of spirits and utilizing proper technique. We strive to provide an experience where food, wine, and cocktails all intertwine to invoke a truly remarkable dining experience.

Wines

At Scarlet Oak Tavern we believe that wine should be considered a regular part of every meal, and that a wine list should not be pretentious or inaccessible to anyone. Subsequently our wines are all carefully chosen to provide both quality and an excellent pairing for Chef’s food. The wine list maintains its own set of core values, and all the wines fall into at least three of these categories to even be considered.

Incredibly quality
Small production or family owned
Innovative find

Structured perfectly for food
Surprising value
Special connection to our team

Every wine on our list has been tasted, and as we continue to rotate the wines with the season and vintage changes, any and all wines will be reviewed before being presented to our guests. In the meantime, we will continue to strive to find new wines that can’t be found in local restaurants in order to provide our guests with an interesting, innovative, food-based wine list that is worth coming back to explore.

The first wedding at The Barn at Gibbet Hill took place in 2002 when Jed and Asia’s fantastic outdoor wedding plans got rained out. Back then the Barn was completely unrenovated – hay bales were moved to the edge of the room and the tractor had to be parked outside so a makeshift wedding aisle could be made. After witnessing the undeniable magic of that day, the idea to transform the Barn into a permanent wedding venue began to take hold. Two years later, after a massive renovation of the Barn was completed, The Barn at Gibbet Hill officially opened for business. And two years after that, CBS-4 crowned the Barn at Gibbet Hill the best wedding venue in the Boston Area!

The Barn can hold up to 220 people with a dance floor. There is an outside, heated deck with a permanent roof over it that is used for cocktail receptions.

The Barn
The Barn at Gibbet Hill is a turn-of-the-century barn, renovated for special events. Described as rustic, charming, romantic, intimate, and classic, The Barn can seat up to 220 with a dance floor.
Lawn Ceremonies
Weather permitting, ceremonies may be held on the lawn in front of The Barn. Enjoy rolling hills and grazing cattle to complement your rustic barn wedding.
Deck
A comfortable setting for your cocktail hour and enjoy all of Gibbet Hill's beautiful surroundings. The deck is used year round, featuring clear siding that can be rolled up on seasonable days or left down in cooler or inclement weather.
Top of the Hill
The Top of the Hill is an exclusive tented outdoor venue located at the summit of Gibbet Hill. Sweeping views of Mt. Wachusett, Mt. Watatic, and Mt. Monadnock provide an incredible backdrop for a truly spectacular event. Just beyond the tented lawn are the ivy-covered ruins to General Bancroft’s Castle, a stone hunting lodge built by General William Ayers Bancroft in 1906. The ruins are a unique setting for a ceremony or a cocktail reception, and are a stunning feature in photographs. Please inquire with the Wedding Specialists about availability and prices.

Julie Vaughan, Director of Banquet Operations

Julie Vaughan originally joined the Webber Restaurant Group as an Event Manager at the Barn at Gibbet Hill. After years of running events there, she has improved operations to the point where the client and guest expectations are exceeded on a consistent basis. Because of this success, in 2011 her role was expanded to include banquet operations for all of Webber Restaurant Group properties, including Fireside Catering.

Julie started in the hospitality industry when she was 17, eventually graduating from UMass in Hotel, Restaurant, and Travel Administration. She has done virtually every job in the business from line cook, to banquet cook, to bartender, to server. Before working at Webber Restaurant Group, Julie worked as General Manager for a catering company specializing in weddings and off-site events in the MetroWest area.
Karen Osterberg, Executive Banquet Chef

Karen received her culinary degree from Newbury College in 1997 and since worked in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. She came to Gibbet Hill as Executive Banquet Chef in the spring of 2005 and after a four hour interview with the Webber family in which she spilled her entire life story and, somewhat incredibly, was still offered the job. During her time at the Barn, Karen has guided run-away cattle back to their field, taken several close up pictures of the resident red-tail hawk, yet to this day, has not seen the rumored Gibbet Hill “ghost”. She has been an invited chef to the Master’s Tournament in Augusta, Georgia since 2007. In a fantastic role reversal, Karen got married at the Barn in 2010 and now resides in Gardner with her husband Terry.
Sara Zambuto, Sales Director

Sara is the longest tenured member of the sales team, having joined Gibbet Hill in 2005. Her previous experience includes seven years as a catering sales manager at Boston area hotels, and prior to that another eight years as a server at various restaurants and catering companies. With over 15 years in the wedding industry, couples can draw from Sara’s vast experience and plan on a wonderful event at The Barn at Gibbet Hill. Sara was born and raised on the North Shore and now lives in Groton with her family.
Deirdre Gonsalves, Sales Director

Deirdre joined the Gibbet Hill family in 2004 as a server at the Gibbet Hill Grill. In 2009 she transitioned to the Barn and began a new chapter in her life as a member of The Barn’s sales team. Having since planned and managed over 200 weddings, Deirdre’s love of weddings is evident with her enthusiasm and expertise. Her organizational skills, guidance through the planning process, attention to detail and most important of all, her sense of humor has been recognized through many accolades from her clients. Deirdre loves spending time with her family, hiking with her dog, and playing amateur photographer whenever she can.
Kat Benaroch, Sales Director

Kat joined the Webber Restaurant family as a server in 2011 at Fruitland’s Museum Café, and later came to Gibbet Hill Grill in October of 2012. From the beginning, she took every opportunity to become involved in all aspects of the Gibbet Hill operation; from seeding and planting as a volunteer on the farm, to pioneering our first season of Farm Dinner’s hosted on the Gibbet Hill Farm, to planning dinner events at Gibbet Hill Grill. As a veteran member of the Gibbet Hill team, Kat brings her passion for life to every event she works on. When she isn’t dedicating her time at Gibbet Hill, she can be found in the kitchen creating delicacies, reading in her over-sized arm chair, or camping in the mountains of New England.
