Mark St. Patrick's Day a little early with a mid-day meal at the Oliver Wight Tavern. The Tap Room becomes an Irish pub, featuring traditional Irish and Celtic music, storytelling, and an a la carte menu of Irish fare.

Here's a sampling of the menu for the daytime event on Saturday:

Appetizers
Irish Potato Skins
Colcannon Soup

Entrees
New England Boiled Dinner
Guinness Beef Pot Pie
Fish & Chips
Shepherd's Pie

Dessert
Strawberry & Apple Compote
Guinness Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Honey Sauce

Reservations are required. For more information or reservations, call 508-347-0363.

In the evening on Friday and Saturday, March 13 and 14, the Oliver Wight Tavern takes on a decidedly Irish accent with hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar, followed by a concert of traditional Irish and Celtic music performed by Full Gael presented in the nearby Stephen M. Brewer Theater.  Sorry, the registration deadline for the evening program has passed.

On Sunday morning, March 15, the Irish flavor continues with a St. Patrick's Day Fry-Up.
