Hiram Blake Camp Dining Hall
Homegrown, handmade, hearty New England fare and lively conversation shared with friends new and old.
Over 100 years of meals and memories…
Since the founding of Hiram Blake’s in 1916, meals have been an integral part of the guest experience. From waking to salty sea breezes mingled with the smell of homemade donuts cooked fresh each morning, to sitting on your porch watching the waves while listening for the dinner bell to call you up to supper, meals at camp are something special.
We gather in our dining hall, which also serves as our library, surrounded by books, treasured keepsakes, wonderful friends, and delicious food. Many of our recipes have been passed down through generations, some dating back to Iantha Blake herself. We strive to grow as much of our own food as possible in our organic gardens and thoughtfully source locally whenever we can.
What makes our dining experience truly unique is that meals are served family-style at communal tables, sparking new conversations and meaningful connections with other campers. After days filled with swimming, kayaking, bird-watching, reading, or simply lounging by the water, we come together under one roof to break fresh-baked bread.
Join us, it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

We have a set menu each day consisting of fresh bread, soup and salad as well as a main course with meat and vegetable sides and a homemade dessert. Our menu is posted outside the farmhouse each day and at your request (and additional charge) you may add a lobster to your meal. We have water, iced tea and lemonade and you may bring your own wine or beverages to dinner.
Lobster Picnic
Our longstanding lobster picnic is held every Wednesday at 12pm. Dinner is not served that night. Weather permitting we host the picnic outside on the playing field. We serve lobsters, hot dogs, potato salad, chips, watermelon and chocolate cake. Our lobsters are caught right off our shores by Nate Venno, Hiram Blake’s great grandson. We ask that you please sign up for the number of lobsters you would like on the chalkboard at the Main House Porch.
