Wegmans in Store Restaurant THE PUB gets New Menu

Going well beyond traditional pub grub The Pub restaurant at Wegmans, in King of Prussia, Pa., will reveal on Jan. 27 an updated menu of fresh salads, sandwiches, composed entrées, and beer, wine and cocktail selections. In addition to the new offerings is the eatery’s most recent collaboration with local brewery Sly Fox, for a German-style malt beer served exclusively at The Pub.

Kathy Haines, director of Wegmans in-store restaurants and Market Cafés  stated “From the start, we’ve created The Pub as a friendly, welcoming place that our guests feel a strong connection with – so when they asked us for more local craft beers, chef-inspired entrées, greater variety of appetizers and more salads and sandwiches, we listened!” … “As always, all of our dishes are prepared with fresh ingredients from the adjacent market, and these new menu adjustments make The Pub better than ever – a place where guests can enjoy a top-notch burger and local craft beer, close to home, any night of the week.”
