The Chimney Corners kitchen staff provide delicious and plentiful food for NESI. We provide dinner on Friday, 3 meals on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Meals are served buffet style. Specific dietary needs should be communicated on your registration form so the kitchen can provide alternatives as needed. Attendees who are vegan, vegetarian, and/or have other dietary restrictions have reported that they are satisfied with what is offered.

In the mornings, a cold cereal bar is set out early with granola, yogurt, fruit, and the like. It’s followed by a hot breakfast of such things as eggs, pancakes, sausage, and hash browns. In addition to the main meal offering, there is an extensive fresh salad bar available at lunch and dinner. Saturday dinner is always a bit festive -- a recent year’s menu included New York strip steak, salmon, and an assortment of delicious sides. (You might want to bring your own wine.) Sunday lunch is always a DIY sandwich bar so people who need to leave quickly can make sandwiches to eat on the road.

Meals are a prime time for making new friends, getting together with old ones and de-compressing from all the music.
