Each year for the holidays, I venture somewhere a little extra special and take in the wonder of the season. Last Christmas we visited Berlin, Maryland – a sweet little historic town on Maryland’s eastern shore and a short drive from Ocean City. This year we wanted something a little closer to home. So we headed to Peddler’s Village, a 42-acre, Colonial-style village in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Considered one of the Philadelphia region’s most photogenic spots during the holidays, this sweet little country village has everything you’d want in a holiday winter wonderland.

A whiskey tasting flight at Hewn Spirits, Peddler’s Village
Hewn Spirits Tasting Room | Shop #42
Take a break from shopping and warm your bones at Hewn Spirits Tasting Room for a delightful tasting experience with plenty of holiday cheer.
At Hewn, we enjoyed a tasting flight showcasing three of their standout spirits – the Shipmate Heritage Rum, Dark Hollow Bourbon, and Reclamation Single Malt Whiskey.
With lovely notes of molasses, the Shipmate Rum immediately caught our attention for its unique ties to naval history, being aged with wood from the U.S.S Constitution. Meanwhile, the Dark Hollow Bourbon puts a Pennsylvania twist on the classic Southern spirit, with a smooth yet complex profile from its blend of corn and rye. Finally, the Reclamation Single Malt is aged with 300-year-old reclaimed wood, yielding an incredibly rich and mellow whiskey.
The tasting room itself exudes rustic coziness with its warm lighting, reclaimed wood, and friendly staff who enthusiastically shared background on Hewn’s history and distilling methods. We also couldn’t pass up a cup of their Spiked Hot Apple Cider to go – the ideal winter warmer as we walked around enjoying the festive lights at Peddler’s Village.
Beyond the excellent spirits, Hewn also provides locally produced bourbon barrel aged maple syrup and honey that’s absolutely delicious.
Make sure to drop by Hewn Spirits when you’re at Peddler’s Village. It’s a fantastic opportunity to support this local distillery. I highly suggest exploring their products and inviting tasting room— whether for a relaxing break or to discover unique gift ideas.

Earl’s New American
📍 2400 Street Road, New Hope, PA 18938
☎️ For Reservations: (215) 794-4020
Earl’s New American Restaurant at Peddler’s Village
When you’re in Peddler’s Village and want food that is elevated, yet unpretentious in a comfortable atmosphere, Earl’s New American located across the street from the Golden Plough Inn is the place to go without question. I love this restaurant’s modern farmhouse vibes, reclaimed hardwood tables, and barn door backdrops. The culinary highlight of our visit to Peddler’s Village, Earl’s New American is the kind of place that you can head to for just a casual lunch or dinner or when you want somewhere to celebrate a special occasion and is perfectly described by Opentable as a “polished casual dining experience.” They serve a seasonally inspired menu of contemporary farm to table dishes inspired by American cuisine with specialties including a raw bar menu, seafood, and steaks. For me though, their appetizer menu is the star of the show.
The nights we visited Peddler’s Village were below freezing, so soup of some kind was definitely in order. Earl’s creamy crabmeat laden She-Crab Soup was a perfect choice. A house specialty, it was served with a house-made cracker that looked simple enough but couldn’t have paired more perfectly with the soup.
The delicious burrata appetizer at Earl’s New American
The appetizers we sampled were equally as delicious. The Burrata appetizer at Earl’s is the definition of a perfect dish. Creamy Burrata is creatively served over crunchy fried red tomato slices with baby greens, toasted pine nuts and then drizzled with a balsamic glaze. This fusion of Italian and southern-inspired comfort foods hits your palette in every way possible. It’s sweet and salty, creamy, crunchy, nutty, decadent and yet fresh. If you eat nothing else here, get the Burrata. It’s that good.
The Lobster Dumplings with chunks of lobster bundled up in a light dumpling wrapper, lightly pan-fried and served with a molasses infused soy-ginger glaze were absolutely scrumptious and are a not-to-be-missed dish for anyone who loves lobster.
The famous chopped salad at Earl’s New American
And the salads at Earl’s are equally exquisite. Whether you go for their Beet Salad or the Chopped Salad with Marcona almonds, bacon, sweet corn, red onion, golden beets, blue cheese, chopped veggies, and a sherry vinaigrette, you’ll be happy either way.
Standouts for us in their entree selections were their Pan-Seared Scallops over a quinoa & mushroom ragout, with corn porridge and candied bacon, and the Steak Frites.

For dessert, the creamy and satisfying Crème brûlée served with fresh berries had the perfect crust for cracking.

The Guinness Onion ‘N Bacon Burger at Buttonwood Grill
Located right next to the main entrance of the Golden Plough Inn, the Buttonwood Grill looks unassuming but it’s a stellar spot to eat when visiting Peddler’s Village. For great food in a fun, casual atmosphere, Buttonwood serves up a menu of some of the most beloved casual dishes with an infusion of international flavors including their homemade stone-fired thin-crust pizzas. Voted the “Best Burger in Bucks County,” made from their own blend made of chuck, brisket, and short rib ground freshly daily they’re not to be missed. Naturally we wanted in.
We ordered their Guinness Onion ‘N Bacon burger topped with sharp cheddar and a creamy horseradish sauce. Delicious. But the burger that totally stole the show for me was the SouthWest Border Burger. Topped with sliced tomatoes “salsa style,” melty Queso fresco cheese, sauteed poblano peppers, guacamole and finished with a chipotle lime ranch.
Both burgers were perfectly cooked and juicy with a nice char on the outside. If beef isn’t your thing, Buttonwood has alternative options including turkey, bison, salmon, and a black bean- feta- quinoa burger for veggie lovers.
Salt ‘N Pepper Calamari at at Buttonwood Grill
Some other highlights for us were the Salt ‘N Pepper Calamari fried with spicy cherry peppers and served with a smoked tomato aïoli and their “Thai Cobb” salad with grilled marinated chicken, pea tendrils, shredded cabbage, edamame, grilled shiitake mushrooms, five-spice peanuts, and a Thai-ginger vinaigrette. The Buttonwood Grill is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and reservations are accepted.
Cock ‘n Bull Restaurant
📍 Route 263 and, Street Rd, Lahaska, PA 18931
☎️ For Reservations: (215) 794-4010
The newly renovated dining room at Cock ‘N Bull Restaurant
The Cock ‘n Bull Restaurant is the first eatery in the village, and it has been a tradition for the locals here for generations. It has been in business for over 60 years, which is simply amazing.
Recently, they have revamped the menu with fresh, new and seasonal dishes inspired by southern and international cuisine, while preserving favorite long-time Cock ‘n Bull classics like their Chicken Pot Pie and French Onion Soup.
We ordered and loved the Buttermilk Fried Chicken appetizer, which was served over cornbread and drizzled with bourbon honey syrup. It was incredible. We also opted for the Charcuterie Board, which was a tasty combination of cured meats, cheeses, crostini, pork rillette, glazed walnuts, and whole grain mustard.
Johnny Cakes & Shrimp Creole at Cock ‘N Bull Restaurant
But the real star of the show was the Johnny Cakes & Shrimp Creole. The dish featured a generous portion of etouffee-style shrimp accompanied by griddled corn cakes, also known as Johnny Cakes. The combination of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors left us craving more.
Their classic Short Rib Burgundy, which was marinated and served in a sourdough bread bowl, was also hearty and satisfying. Who doesn’t love a bread bowl?!
For dessert, I highly recommend the Carrot Cake. Topped with pineapple coconut chutney, white chocolate raisin bark, and drizzled with caramelized pineapple sauce, this carrot cake was truly exceptional. In fact, it’s some of the best carrot cake we’ve ever had. We’re really hoping it remains a permanent fixture on their menu! It was the perfect sweet ending to a delicious dinner.
Enjoy a cocktail at Red Fox Lounge before your meal at Cock ‘N Bull.
Before heading into Cock N Bull for your meal, definitely stop into the connected Red Fox Lounge for a cocktail and appetizer around the fireplace. The ambiance in there is fantastic.
💡 Tip: Ask for a table by the windows and you can dine while watching the holiday lights.
Hart’s Tavern
📍Rt. 263 and, Street Rd, Lahaska, PA 18931
For lunch we stopped into Hart’s Tavern. The vibe here is super casual, like an old school pub that never goes out of style. Plus, the menu has been completely revamped by their new chef and we couldn’t wait to try some new dishes.
The Quinoa Arugula Salad with pistachio-goat cheese medallions, chickpeas, pickled grapes, red onion, and a zesty lemon and honey herb dressing was the perfect way to start off our meal.
The Italian Roast Pork Sandwich with Buffalo Fries at Hart’s Tavern
For our main courses, the Italian Roast Pork Sandwich is simply amazing. It’s filled with tender pulled pork, sweet pickled peppers, long hots spread, aged provolone, and garlic aioli. On the side, we opted for Buffalo Fries, which turned up the heat and added an extra kick of flavor. We actually considered taking another one to go!
Now I’ve eaten plenty of fish & chips, and Hart’s has some of the best I’ve had in a very long time. The crispy, buttery cod was perfectly fried and the “chips” were a unique fusion of something between a French fry and a potato wedge. They’re great for dipping!
Seasonal butterscotch bread pudding at Hart’s Tavern
Do not skip the dessert at Hart’s. Every one is delectable and made in-house. The true stand-outs are the bread pudding, which changes seasonally and the unbelievable, Kitchen Sink Chocolate Cake. It’s four layers of cake, filled with cream cheese frosting, raspberry mousse and peanut butter cream, finished with a pretzel and potato chip brittle, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry on top. Whew!
Every dish we tried was really tasty, and the service at Hart’s is always spectacular. Hart’s Tavern also offers a variety of craft beers, both bottled and on draft, as well as a selection of wines by the glass and bottle. If you’re in the mood for some signature cocktails, they have you covered too.
