‘Just’ Desserts

Desserts at our weddingThere may be just desserts, but it’s never just dessert at The Doctor’s House. That’s because Executive Chef Stephen Pynn and his great team don’t ‘just’ make anything. They put their hearts and souls into their dishes, sweet and savory, and it shows. Here are the desserts they made for a recent wedding. True masterpieces, I have it on good authority that they tasted just as good as they looked.

If you’d like to learn more about weddings at The Doctor’s House, please see here. And if you’d like to try out some of Stephen’s other great meals, remember that our dining is now available for dine-in only guests – we just ask that you make a reservation first, by calling 709-582-2754.

Have Dessert

Dessert at our Newfoundland cafeYou know what our motto is around here when it comes to those little indulgences – ‘shag it and eat dessert!’ Of course our cafe is named in honor of the cormorant birds that play outside our windows – the locals call them shags, so we call our cafe the ‘Shag It.’

But the ‘Shag It’ is so much more than a name – it’s a philosophy! Sleep in an extra hour on the weekend? Shag it, why not? Go for the large when a medium will do? Shag it, why not? Stay up late to catch one more episode of your latest Netflix binge? Shag it, why not? And top your apple crumble with a generous heaping of vanilla ice cream? Shag it, my friends, shag it, and eat the friggin’ dessert!

And since the Shag It is now open 6 days a week, you probably know by now what the answer to ‘should I cook supper tonight is.’ Thanks to our friend, Margaret Ayad for the lovely photo.

First Corporate Retreat at The Doctor’s House

Corporate Event at The Doctor's House

We had our first corporate retreat at The Doctor’s House this weekend and were very happy with our results, thanks to our hard-working staff. The Military Family Resource Centre joined us, arriving yesterday morning to coffee and treats prepared by Chef Anna and her team. They enjoyed lunch in the Doctor’s Lounge, followed by a short tour and time spent with the ponies, Rosie and Eweness before heading back to listen to Guest Speakers. Dinner in front of the fireplace and spa services enjoyed by some participants completed the event.

One couple brought along their grandson, who commented to his grandmother that being here was just like being at a friends house – that may be our best testimonial to date!Anna's Desserts
