The Local Table increases offerings

It’s been just a little more than a year since The Local Table restaurant opened at Kidron Bethel Village in North Newton. In that short time, management and staff have made great strides in learning how best to serve both resident and public customers in the setting of a life plan community. 

The Local Table is a daytime eatery that features breakfast and lunch favorites including salads, sandwiches, soups and more. It derives the “local” portion of its name by partnering with local companies on certain menu items including breads, coffee, eggs and syrup. 

One significant addition to The Local Table has been the addition of Jacob Masters, who joined the team as general manager in the spring. Since his arrival, Masters has been dreaming up and executing exciting offerings for customers. 

One of his first tasks was to create a seasonal menu to reflect fresh flavors. In addition to a permanent menu, several seasonal dishes will be changed out three times per year to offer variety to customers. 

After a couple of months, Masters introduced Sunday lunch specials that have been well-received among the clientele. The Sunday specials are reminiscent of home-cooked traditional favorites, such as pot roast and salmon. 

Most recently, Grab-n-Go lunch items have been added to The Local Table’s daily offerings. The Grab-n-Go items feature pre-made and packaged sandwiches, salads and wraps for purchase for a quick and simple meal option. The items are in a cooler near the front of the restaurant so customers can pick a favorite and be on their way without needing to wait. 

Now is great time to visit The Local Table to try some of the new things being offered. The Local Table is open Wednesday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Sunday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The restaurant is located in the main Kidron Bethel Village building at 3001 Ivy Dr., North Newton, Kansas, and is open to both residents and the public.
