“The food was first rate. The staff even better—the meals were offered with love and care, a true experience of hospitality.” - Roger T.
Our friendly food service staff prepare and serve three wholesome and delicious meals daily in two beautiful and unique dining halls both with spectacular views of Sugarloaf Mountain and valley. Meals are included in all of our overnight packages and are a great addition for groups using the Center for the day.
Adult guests typically dine in Sugarloaf Dining Hall. All meals are served buffet style.
Youth and young adult guests typically dine in the Delaplaine Barn dining hall. Meals are served in a hybid still with some items offered through a buffett and others served family-style at the table. In the Delplaine Barn dining hall guests also take a more active role in "Kitchen Patrol" by helping to set and clear tables after a meal and sweep the floors.
Fresh flavors are the cornerstone of new seasonal menus at Claggett! Seasonal menus are carefully crafted by the Claggett Center’s Executive Chef. A salad bar with homemade dressings is offered at both lunch and dinner. Assorted desserts are offered daily at dinnertime with cookies or bars served at lunch.

With your help in communicating your needs prior to your retreat, we are able to accommodate most dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and vegan. Special diet options are typically served from the kitchen window to the right of the main buffet line. Group leaders are invited to check in with kitchen staff upon arrival to touch base about final dietary needs and discuss where they will be served.
