Peyton Place 2022

Food made with Love! Peyton Place Restaurant is a small family-owned business that focuses on quality cuisine in a relaxed setting. Our entire menu is made from scratch with an emphasis on farm to table, organic ingredients. Chef James Peyton creates a Diverse Dining Experience with varied options to satisfy all tastebuds! Our unique restaurant cannot be pinpointed by a single cuisine, rather it is a confluence of French, Thai, Italian, Vietnamese, American and Latin American cuisines.

We invite you to come enjoy the Peyton Place Experience, whether that be in a group of friends and family or loved ones in our Tavern room or by yourself at the bar. Our Diverse Dining Experience holds value at all occasion! Enjoy a relaxed setting in our 1773 Tavern House. As we said we are a small restaurant, with a maximum capacity of about 22 seats at a time.

Our limited capacity serves a dual purpose. With less customers under our roof at one time we can focus on creating an equally superb dining experience for all customers, as well as remain responsible through the midst of potential outbreaks. All employees and customers at Peyton Place a required to be vaccinated, your safety is of the utmost importance to us. In our 30 years of business, cleanliness and sanitation has always been a paramount principle of Peyton Place; this has made for a natural transition to continue to serve you during these times.

For those who are uncomfortable dining out we continue to offer Takeout during our regular Restaurant hours, that is 4-8pm Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In addition to our Restaurant and Takeout services we also offer Private Caterings of 8 to 16 people in our Dining Room. These Caterings could be anything from a full meal with multiple courses to an Hourderve Party. You may call Heidi Peyton at 603-353-9100 to inquire further about a Private Catering.

Despite these complicated times Peyton Place is more accessible than ever! Whether you sit in the Tavern Room or at the bar, get Takeout or schedule a Private Catering, our goal is to serve you food made with Love! We invite you to come enjoy the Peyton Place Experience! Celebrating 30 years of business this year! Cheers!

A Quest for Conscious Food

At Peyton Place, we believe in a conscious dining experience from the ground up. To us, this has always meant not only being conscious of where our food comes from and having the best organic ingredients but also being conscious of how the food is prepared and the atmosphere in which it is served.

True consciousness means taking pride and responsibility in everything you do. Everything in your dining experience at Peyton Place, from our delicious rolls, to our chorizo and hand, rolled pasta are house made, and every ingredient passes through Chef James’s hands.

The culinary arts are one of the oldest and most significant forms of engineering, and Chef James truly is an engineer when it comes to presenting his food in a way that is clean, easy to eat, delicious, and above all consciously prepared.

 

Chef James Peyton and Hostess Heidi Peyton have spent 24 years now honing their vision for Peyton Place and have each developed a unique style. James and Heidi Peyton met in 1990 and founded Peyton Place in 1993.

Chef James has spent 32 years in the culinary industry and 24 of those years he has spent perfecting his own style. Much of the reason James was inspired to pursue his own vision was his disappointment with what he had seen in the culinary world before founding Peyton Place. The cleanliness and precision that he so cared about were not a reality in the hotels and restaurants he had worked in around the country.

Conscious Food, to us, means being aware of the entire process in your dining experience. Many of our ingredients are grown directly from the 1-acre garden behind our restaurant, but we are still not where we want to be.

Our goal is to become even more self-sustaining and truly complete our initiative on conscious food by growing all of our own produce. The name of our budding farm is Sunday Mountain Valley Farms and you can find it on Instagram and Facebook.

Apart from the food itself, Peyton Place offers a beautiful and engaging front of the house. The 1773 Tavern House, complete with patio and dining rooms is only complimented by Heidi’s decorative tableware. At each table, candles are intimately set and mirrors hang on the walls, reflecting happy faces!

 

Hostess Heidi Peyton has also been establishing her own unique style of service for the past 24 years. She is ever present in the dining room with her classic chalkboard menus. Over 24 years she has practiced descriptive and enlivening orations of each item.

In bringing the entire table around one menu and opening doors for deeper conversation about how the food is made, she encourages a different type of social dining atmosphere. She wants customers to engage fully both with each other and with every part of the Peyton Place dining experience.

Our belief in Conscious Food manifests in the three pillars of Local Produce, Superior Preparation, and Social Dining. These pillars are what allow us to create the authentic and unique gourmet style that is Peyton Place Restaurant.
