Join us for brunch at School Woods – to start the New year off right!
Brunch will be served buffet style beginning at 11:00 a.m., until 1:30 (ish – it’s a holiday – we’ll stick around ’til everyone’s ready to leave!)

• Scrambled eggs
• Roasted root vegetables with herbs – potatoes, sweet potatoes, parsnips, rutabaga, celeriac
