Has Wegmans always been your favorite grocery store? For obvious reasons, most can admit to loving the diverse grocer who offers it all. It was a blessing to many shoppers when the new venue opened in King of Prussia just months ago. Now, there’s another not so common reason to visit the Wegmans in your area. If you already enjoyed the Market Cafe’s array of cuisine, then there’s a good chance you’ll hop on board for this, too!
Recently, Wegmans introduced The Pub at Wegmans, a full-service restaurant and bar serving comforting American cuisine in their Malvern, King of Prussia and Collegeville store locations. Led by their executive chefs and inspired by the incomparably fresh ingredients sold on-site in the store, they have created an inspired array of dishes that go beyond typical pub standards. The restaurant offers cocktails, wine available by the bottle or glass and an extensive selection of craft beers, including Pub Pale Ale, made by local favorite Sly Fox Brewery and only available at The Pub at Wegmans.
“Our customers know they can count on us for the freshest produce, meat, fish and other groceries throughout the year – so who better to prepare and serve seasonal cuisine than The Pub, located right inside our grocery store?” says Kathy Haines, director of Wegmans in-store restaurants and Market-Cafes.
The Pub at Wegmans boasts an inventive menu of American cuisine, with a wealth of offerings that include soups, sandwiches, pizzas, salads and entrées and covers a variety of cuisines from ethnic to hearty comfort foods, along with nightly changing dinner specials and seasonal additions. It is a natural extension of the store’s comprehensive prepared foods section, the Market-Cafe, where they offer to-go dishes prepared in their on-site kitchen from their own ingredients.
Some dishes include: Zucchini Fries with horseradish cream sauce, The Cheese Burger, Wegmans Signature Crab Cake Sandwich, San Marzano Margherita Pizza, All-Natural Day-Boat Sea Scallops, Lemon-Garlic Marinated Chicken Breast, and Australian Lamb Chops. Prices range reasonably from $3.50 to $17. In addition, your favorite seasonal dishes will be available as well.
To complement the menu, The Pub serves a wide variety of local, domestic and international craft beers, including such local favorites as Yuengling, Yards, Troegs, Weyerbacher, Philadelphia Brewing Co. and Victory, along with a number of Pennsylvania breweries on draught. They also offer a selection of wines from around the world, available by the glass or bottle, and an exciting list of original cocktails made from premium spirits and mixers, such as: The Philly Phlyer, Blue Coat Gin with triple sec and fresh orange juice; and the Jack O Rita, tangerine juice with Jose Cuervo tequila, Malibu Rum and a dash of Sprite soda.
The Pub at Wegmans is located at the in-store Market-Cafe and features a welcoming atmosphere with glowing mahogany and rich colors inspired by traditional English pubs, where guests are encouraged to relax with family or friends over a pint or a bite. The casual ambience includes a large, wrap-around bar and a comfortable dining room. For outdoor dining, there is also a sweeping patio with plentiful seating. The Pub at Wegmans is even spacious enough to be perfect for parties, business functions and other private events.
“A simple grocery store isn’t enough anymore; our customers asked for fresh meals to go and dine-in options, and we listened,” says Haines. “Wegmans is now a one-stop shopping experience for a great meal right away, prepared foods for later and groceries for the whole week long.”
