Well, here we are again, and let me tell you, it’s nearly impossible to believe. Six years ago, on St. Patrick’s Day, we opened the doors of The Shoreham Inn for the first time. We wanted to say hello to our new neighbors, welcome people to our new business and generally see what we could see. Wow. And wow, again. That’s all we could say on March 18th 2004. We used to joke that moving from London, England to Shoreham, Vermont was like moving to another planet. Absolutely everything changed when we made that move, so much so that it was hard to even begin to point out differences, hence, Planet Shoreham. As we discovered then, and continue to discover almost every day, Planet Shoreham is a pretty special place, full of funny, loyal, critical, helpful and generous people. We really don’t know how we got so lucky. Maybe there is something to the ‘luck of the Irish’.

And so, with that, St. Patrick’s Day rolls around again, and we take the opportunity to say thank you to all our customers and friends who make the Pub a pub. Dominic and I had an idea of a country village pub, and we did all we could to put the elements in place to make it happen. The final, and most crucial ingredient, is the customers. The customers that embrace a place and make it their own. Only then does a pub become a pub. And boy, has Planet Shoreham done us proud.

Thank you for 6 wonderful years.
