    Any suggestions for a caterer in the Lake Sunapee/Dartmouth region?  We are getting married at the Fells on Lake Sunapee next summer and have not had alot of luck with finding a caterer.  There is no kitchen on site so this does provide some logistical problems; however, they are easily overcome with some rentals. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

    What's your budget?  Blood's (terrible name, I know) is a less expensive option, or Hanover Inn for a more upscale choice.  I'll try to remember the other names I've heard.

    @kay01:Hi - I would love to learn of caterers in the area as well! I am also getting married at The Fells and haven't yet found the caterer. We did just meet with The Common Man in Claremont and The Lake Sunapee Country Club. Super nice people at both! Thanks in advance.

    @quaglina:  I almost went with the Common Man, we were torn for the longest time b/w it and my final venue choice, but I had an issue with them not calling me back!  Granted they were finishing up their renovations to their upstairs reception space, but when you call several times over 2+ weeks and they don't respond, you get nervous they'd be even less responsive when they had your money.  Very gorgeous space though and the food is pretty good - more of a homey feel.  We like 3 of 4 entree options we had for lunch (felt the burger was overcooked).

    I never saw the Lake Sunapee Country Club in person, although my parents checked it out for me.  I didn't want my guests to be split with some on different levels.  Can't speak to the food.

    Maple Street Catering is another one that comes to mind.

    Definitely more expensive, but The Barefoot Gourment is AMAZING. Incredible food, really great guy. And its high-end grilled food, so the no-kitchen thing wouldn't be a problem. We are prioritizing food for our wedding....he sources a lot of food locally, and is so creative with his menu. Our tasting was delicious. I really can't say enough good things about him.

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions.  Just in case anyone else is looking, we went with Laura Powers from Wilmont and have been super happy thus far!
