Lakeside Deli and Grille
 

Just want to make the first official announcement of The Lakeside Deli and Grille in Meredith. My wife and I are opening the former Lakeshore Deli location right across the street from Clough Park. We will be offering fresh creative salads, homemade soups, a full deli spread as well as all homemade sides and a dinner menu as well. We plan to have a beer and wine menu with outdoor seating in the summer. Early March is the goal to open and we can't wait to make our dream become a reality.

Chef Jeff and Annie Brown

best of luck!
 

That's a great location, we used to enjoy the old Lakeside.......looking forward to trying the new one!

Jeff and Annie,

Good Luck with your new business.
We used to frequent the old Deli and have missed it since it closed up. You have our business, its any easy stop for us on our way to Shep Browns.

Congrats! Are you the same folks that used to have the lakeshore deli?

Best of luck!

Thanks for the best wishes! This is a new business and has no connection with the former Lakeshore Deli other than the location.

Fantastic!!!!!

Great news...
 

and nice to hear you will be open for dinner too.

That's wonderful. We are always excited about new food and its a wonderful location you have there. Looking forward to trying things out in March! Just my two cents but please think about having dinner take out options for those of us who are lazy but hesitant to inflict our one year old on your patrons!!

Best of luck!

We are aware that a good portion of our business will be for take out. The entire menu will be available for take out and we also will have an extensive catering/pick up menu with 1/2 and full pans of a variety of dishes available.

Awesome! That will make the wife very happy! And you know what they say... Happy wife - Happy life! Unhappy wife - Very, Very unhappy life! :)

I wish you and your wife nothing but the best of luck. Have you considered phone in orders that can be delivered to the docks ?

Graet Idea!
 

Now there's a great idea!! You could sell a lot of food to the boaters at the docks!

Dan

Welcome back!
 

Really glad you are coming back. Your lovely little deli has been much missed.

Congratulations to you both. Very excited to stop by the place on my way to Bear Island..

Congratulations
 

Congratulations! Good Luck with your new business! Is seafood on the menu? We will stop by in the spring.

Dockside delivery is already part of the plan for the summer! We are trying to think of the best way to make it work. Our thoughts are to do delivery on the hour every hour to the docks. Any thoughts or ideas are more than welcome and thank you very much for your best wishes!!

There will be fresh seafood on the menu. Seafood will be delivered Monday and Thursday and I will run seafood specials based on what I get each week. Meehan's Fish out of Tuftonboro will be supplying our quality seafood and he has the best reputation in the Lakes Region! I eat the scallops he delivers raw out of the bag:-) It's that fresh!

I'll bet that almost no one knows that good scallops can be eaten raw. They are every bit as good as warmed..cooked. :)

I used to like Oysters On The Half Shell in a restaurant ..I think it was the Chart House chain down the East Coast to Florida. If they were really fresh..you could squirt a lemon on them and they would "flynch". Now they are too expensive. NB

I LOVE oysters on the half shell, No Bozo! They are so good. I hesitate to eat a lot of any raw seafood because of all the things you hear, but I do love them!

Chefbrown, You asked for a few thoughts I hope you don't mind if I offer a couple. First of all every hour on the hour may not fit peoples schedule and on certain days dock space may be at a premium making it difficult to connect with boaters. So how about this. Find a high energy young person who can deliver to the docks on a bicycle. Put a sandwich board (no pun intended) on the bike saying :Another great lunch delivered by Lakeside Deli. Or, The lake is our Dining Room, or something to that effect. Put a bell on the bike and have him ring it like a crazy Ice Cream man every time he approaches the docks. Phone # and website on sandwich board and delivery person should pass out menus to other boats while making deliveries. Also after a long day on the boat people may not want to make dinner so why not promote order dinner ahead and pickup at dock. I am making myself hungry I gotta go.

We have already thought of the bike as it is a great idea. My concerns about the bike is if we are permitted to ride on the sidewalk over to the docks. If not that is a CRAZY corner with traffic in the summer and do not want to endanger anyone just to deliver food. I want a 3 wheel bike with a big basket and sign and flag. Love the bell idea!! If the bike idea can't work, it's only about a 5min walk over to the docks and our energetic delivery person will definitely stay fit!! Thank you for your thoughts! Love it!!

I LOVE THIS, not only do i miss the deli, but i love the idea of the delivery. And the person who runs the food will sure make some good tip money, people with big boats have big pockets. All the gas dock attendants know this.

Personally I don't see why many customers can't walk to the deli. It is a short walk. I for one will be walking over to your place from the docks for your delicious food.

More docks needed...
 

How about asking the town of Meredith to put in some town docks on the other end of town. It would help us boaters who want to go to the new Lakeside Deli and Grille, get some provisions at Hannaford's or getting a cup of joe at Dunkie D's.

It would also add more boat parking on those beautiful days when everyone is visiting Meredith. More docks would certainly be very nice!

If your name was Rusty McLear, you could put docks up in a heartbeat - with no questions asked. I'd like to know how he gets away with all these new improvements to Church Landing in areas that are supposedly within the Shoreland Protection Act buffers. :confused:

How about keeping this thread relevant to the Lakeside Deli and Grille.
What Church Landing has done has no bearing on the new business that is starting up.

this needs a "LIKE" button!

Its called a "THANKS" button and its on the bottom right.

really......?

opening soon
 

Just posted the opening soon sign in the window today!! Like us on Facebook.
Lakeside Deli and Grille. The website is live, but not much content yet! Check it out. www.lakesidenh.com We are shooting for 2-3 weeks to get the doors open. Can't wait!!!

We can't Wait !!!
 

We cain't wait as well, looking forward to your opening. I think the town folks of Meredith and the lakes region are in for some great food ! Best wishes on your new venture, Lakside Deli & Grille...:liplick:

The little guys
 

I love patronizing the 'little guys'. You and other small businesses have my vote! I find Church Landing very 'tacky' with the way he tried to bring the birch trees into the interior design. We have our events at Oliver's Lodge. Way better accomodations and at a cheaper price!

We will have our catering menus soon, my wife & I got married at Oliver's Lodge!

Opening Soon!!
 

The Opening day has just been set for April 4th!!! Tell your friends!! We can't wait to get started. The deli is really starting to come together and more updates will be coming as they happen.

thanks for the heads up............
 

we're coming up the weekend before you guys open to start the season, and it will be great to drive by, and know next time I can stop in!

Dock delivery
 

How about a segway for dock delivery?

Lakeside restaurant
 

A Lakeside restaurant just opened up in the old Dunking Donuts building across from the new Dunkin donuts in Laconia. Just down the street from Pizza Hut.

maybe you should start a new thread for that establishment, this one is about the Lakeside Deli and Grille

just thought it odd
 

another place opens up with the same name that is all.
