The Gibbet Hill Grill & The Barn at Gibbet Hill

1) How many people does the Barn hold?
The Barn can hold 220 people with a dance floor.
2) Can we bring in our own caterer?
No, all catering is done on site by Gibbet Hill.
3) Do you have a wedding planner on staff?
We currently have a wedding coordinator who will be happy to help you with the organization of your space. She can give you the names of vendors if you are looking for suggestions, and she will be there the day of your wedding to make sure the entire day goes smoothly. However at this time we do not offer a wedding “planning” service for the design of your wedding.
4) Why do you only have four events a year at the top of the hill?
The terms of the conservation restriction under which the land is placed dictates that we can only have power and vehicles on the top of the hill four times a year.
5) Can I have my event outside if I don’t have it on the top of the hill?
Yes, we have a tented space available as well as an outside deck with an awning.
6) Can I specify my own menu?
Yes. Although we can offer several options in a variety of styles, we would be happy to sit down with you and design a menu that makes your event as individual as you are
7) How do I reserve the Barn for my own function?
To reserve the Barn or for any other information on functions at Gibbet Hill, please contact our director of sales, Carolyn Hilton.

1) What is the name of the paint color on the restaurant walls?
Benjamin Moore Quincy Tan
2) Where can I get some chairs like those near the fireplace?
The chairs were purchased from a subsidiary of Jos. Kilbridge Antiques on Main Street in Groton. It’s most likely possible to get others like them at Kilbridge’s.
3) Who did the decorating?
We hired interior designer Peter Niemitz of the Niemitz Design Group. Niemitz has also designed such places as Legal Seafoods, Clio, the Capital Grille, and Not Your Average Joe’s. Click here for more information on the people involved with Gibbet Hill.
4) Was the restaurant built up from the ground or was it renovated?
The Grill and The Barn were both renovated from barns originally built around the turn of the century. Until October of 2003 the barns still held cattle.
5) Are the barn boards on the walls and ceilings from the barn itself?
While most of the beams are original, the boards on the ceiling and walls are from a dismantled barn in New Hampshire.

1) Where does the trail system start?

The trail system starts further up Route 40 (Lowell Road) at the second stone gate. At this time there is no parking area. Later this year we hope to bring the trail system close to the restaurant to begin near our parking lot.
2) I saw you were using valet parking the other day. Will that be a regular thing? Do I have to pay for it?
Because we sometimes have both a full restaurant and a full Barn, in order to fit everyone's car into the lot we hire valet parkers to organize the lot. Valet parking is both complimentary and optional on these evenings. If you drive by and see a line of cars down the driveway, it means that the people who have chosen to use the valet have left their cars for the valets to park--it doesn't necessarily reflect how busy the restaurant is at that time.
