Coffee, meals at White Hart Provisions

SALISBURY — The White Hart inn has opened its newest addition. White Hart Provisions is a departure from the rest of The White Hart, focusing more on breakfast and lunch — and coffee.  

Manager Lucas Smith said they are aiming for a coffee shop atmosphere, and he emphasized the quality of the coffee. 

“We make our coffee with intention,” Smith said. The coffee is sourced from  No. Six Depot in West Stockbridge, Mass., and is roasted the day it is served. 

Provisions also offers custom sodas such as raspberry-lime and cucumber-mint.  The flavors will change on a regular basis. 

Similarly all food is made on site  by a team that includes pastry chef Gabriela Rios and chef Eric Goldstein, under the guidance of chef/ownerAnnie Wayte. 

The shop opened last Thursday, July 28, and Wayte was there helping to make sandwiches.

As with all the restaurants at the inn, she said the emphasis is on fresh, high-quality food. Some of the menu offerings the first week included a kale caesar salad, a beet salad with citrus and feta cheese, a mozzarella and prosciutto panini and  a cold roast beef sandwich served on a sliced baguette. There was also a special lamb tagine with couscous for $10. Sandwiches are $9 and $10.

Breakfast offerings include a bagel with cream cheese ($3) or with salmon, capers and red onion ($9) and several variations on the theme of toast that are all $3.50. There is a bacon butty (several of the specialties are traditional English comfort foods, said Wayte). 

Several of the baked goods   have an English accent as well, including the wagon wheels and jammie dodgers (which are similar to s’mores and Linzer torte cookies). 

The store is decorated with exotic and stylish household goods that are all for sale. The items are curated by Megan Wilson of Cornwall, a book designer for Random House who also has a website called Ancient Industries (www.ancientindustries.com). The goods on display ranged from puzzles to hatchets (and first aid kits) to stylishly packaged granola. 

Although the hours are likely to change, for now Provisions is open Friday to Monday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
