Webber Restaurant Group

The act of conservation that led to the eventual formation of Webber Restaurant Group was the purchase of Gibbet Hill Farm in 2000 by Steve and Nancy Webber. Their intention in purchasing the 500-acre farm was simply to avoid having it broken into the 80+ house lots that it was approved for under a local developer’s plan. With that act finished, their son Josh then successfully worked with the state, town, and various other conservation groups to have the land put permanently into conservation, ensuring that it would only be used for agricultural purposes. It was only after the land was saved that attention was brought to the barns, with the question of what they should now be used for. Josh, together with siblings Kate and Jed, and Jed’s wife, Asia, decided that their best use would be a restaurant and an event facility, inspired by the land that it was on and that could serve as a community gathering place for the people that lived nearby. The Gibbet Hill Grill and the Barn at Gibbet Hill were born. In subsequent years, the company has expanded to include 3 additional restaurants and a full service catering company with multiple exclusive venues. Today, Webber Restaurant Group includes the following businesses: Gibbet Hill Grill (Groton, MA) The Barn at Gibbet Hill (Groton, MA) Gibbet Hill Farm (Groton, MA) Scarlet Oak Tavern (Hingham, MA) The Bancroft (Burlington, MA) Bancroft & Co (Peabody, MA) Fireside Catering (Burlington, MA) Fireside Catering is the exclusive caterer to the following historic venues: The Estate at Moraine Farm (Beverly, MA) Fruitlands Museum (Harvard, MA) The Crane Estate (Ipswich, MA) The Bradley Estate (Canton,MA)
