THE WYCOMBE HOUSE
Farewell Letter
To All Our Valued Guests and Friends
It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of The Wycombe House at 1073 Mill Creek Rd. Wycombe PA. We want to thank all of our wonderful guests and employees for supporting us over this past year. What began as a 142-seat restaurant on a sleepy stretch of Mill Creek Rd. grew into a place that has welcomed tens of thousands of guests and employed some truly wonderful and friendly people over the past year. We are extremely humbled that so many embraced our restaurant, the food and the charm and that we were able to last as long as we have.
Financially it has been a very difficult year for restaurants in general and The Wycombe House was no exception. Inflation caused our food expenses to increase by over 35%. Interest rates quadrupled our mortgage expenses. The PLCB raised liquor prices an average of 27%, and in part, due to the economy in general, people spent less time going out to eat.
We will close our doors permanently on December 31, 2023 at 6 PM. Before we do though, we would like to invite all of our family, friends, and guests to one last hoorah. Beginning this Friday, December 29th, we will be discounting all menu items by 40% and offering discounted drink specials as well. Come one more time and share this time with us, enjoy the food, the friendship and a historic and bucolic Bucks County setting.
As always, “You ain’t gonna get any nouveau, amandine, thin crust, bottled water, sauteed city food here. The food is still brown, hot and there’s plenty of it”.
Sincerely,
Jerry Driscoll
