Coventry Gardens- Susanville, CA
Coventry Gardens
Zach Hart is chef and proprietor at Coventry Gardens in Susanville. Zach’s love for cooking began when he and his brother grew up fishing and hunting. The rule in their family: you kill it, you clean it and cook it. Parents Rob and Linda Hart say they always enjoyed the samples.
Zach has always been one to experiment with spices and herbs, to find the perfect balance of flavor, according to Mom.
The lunch menu includes a variety of salads, homemade quiche and the Coventry Garden Luncheon” where you can choose any two items from: soup, 1/2 sandwich, quiche and salad, all served with a pot of tea or soda and choice of homemade scones.
Things have changed some since they first opened as a tea room. With Zach now running Coventry Gardens, he has revised the menu. It includes some of the tea room favorites and now in an effort to cater to more people, he has created some hearty specials like the smokey ham and cheese or the ‘Big Ben’ prime thin sliced roast beef and jack cheese all served on a french roll with au jus. Homemade sandwiches are served with a choice of side salad, a cup of soup or Zach cut french fries. The menu has been a hit so far.
There is a variety of burgers including the ever popular bleu cheese bacon burger. A children’s menu is available at Coventry Gardens.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 until 3 with Friday hours till 8pm, when they serve a fabulous array of dinner entrees in addition to their regular menu.
The restaurant is housed in an historic victorian home which has been restored and transformed into a very beautiful restaurant. Located one block off Main Street at 70 South Roop Street in uptown Susanville, the restaurant also offers outside catering and special events there.
