The Town of Glastonbury CT boathouse at Riverfront Park has begun offering a bistro menu option for weekday meetings. Over the past few years, as the boathouse has become a popular venue for corporate events, clients have indicated they would like to bring in restaurant-prepared food for weekday meetings. That was not an option since clients were required to work with one of the boathouse’s preferred caterers, but the policy has changed. Clients hosting a meeting weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. can bring in prepared, catered food from their favorite local restaurant. To learn more, visit glastonburyboathouse.com/bistro or call Kristen Michaels at 860-652-4640.
