Five courses, each paired with cider. Price is inclusive. Each dinner will take a branded geripttes cider glass home with them. Take home bottles are available for purchase.

This dinner is built around the concept of "bloom where you're planted." Chef Adam Diltz has made Elwood a celebration of the cuisine of Pennsylvania - from historically significant dishes from Pennsylvania's past to inventive and elevated versions of rustic Pennsylvania dishes. His food is the epitome of "eat like you live here" and diners and critics alike have been eager to discover our state's culinary traditions through this restaurant.

Ploughman Cider was founded to provide beverage enthusiasts a sense of place as well - the place where the apples are grown. Born out of Three Springs Fruit Farm's trips to Philadelphia's Headhouse Farmers Market in Old City, Ploughman has tried to honor the unique microclimate of the Adams County and the South Mountain region. Now in seven generations of farm stewardship, the deep, well-drained soils of this agricultural breadbasket provide the nuance and character found in Ploughman Cider. Their selection of dry ciders honor the soil under the trees and accompany the food on the plate in a natural and effortless way.

Join us at The Good King Tavern for a "cave à manger" style evening of à la carte cheese, seafood and cider paired with the traditional cidre of the North Atlantic French coast.

"Cave à Manger" at The Good King Tavern typically translates to live cheese counter + lots of hard-to-come-by wines by-the-glass. Once again, for Philly Cider Week, The Good King Tavern is tweaking the program. The live cheese counter will double as a raw bar with cheeses hailing from Normandy (think gooey Camembert) and oysters hailing from our friends at Brigantine Oyster Company. Instead of wines by-the-glass, ciders they’ll be pouring are from the coastal towns spattering Normandy and the Loire Valley.
