Welcome to The Porch
We are looking forward to the 2023 season. Last year was a big success as our new management led by members of the Campobello community – Dianna Parker and Taylor Davidson – took over The Porch, The Porch at Friars’ Bay Box Lunches and Breakfast Takeaway Boxes for guests. We are looking forward to seeing what they are planning for the upcoming season!
We are also excited to again feature local art shows, music nights and other special events at The Porch.
The Porch will be open Thursday, May 18th at 7:00am for the season
Our Menu
The updated menu will feature locally sourced food such as soups, sandwiches, specialty salads, and burgers. As the season progresses, new entrees, seafood chowders and daily specials will be added. You can dine in or take away for a picnic or a family meal at the Inn & Cottages. If you have allergies, just tell your server.
Bear in mind, we are on an island so sometimes the menu will change to accommodate a scarcity or a season treat! Check out the blackboard when you come to visit.
We recently sat down with Dianna and Taylor and you can catch up on our conversation here:

From our location along the water, it’s an easy walk to the Village Mart, which provides groceries, liquor, and pharmacy. The library, post office, and Deanna’s By the Bay are also very close by.
There are other dining options, a bakery, bike rental, and places to purchase local gifts and crafts available on the island. Wifi is also available, though gas must be purchased off-island. More information is available on Campobello Island’s tourist site.
