Ye Old Spring Valley Tavern (July 2019)



I dined at Ye Olde Spring Valley Tavern with two family members for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon in July 2019. The Spring Valley Tavern is open for lunch and dinner daily, except on Mondays when they serve dinner only (no lunch on Mondays). Diners can reserve a table via telephone or using the restaurant’s website.

The Ye Olde Spring Valley Tavern (formerly called the Spring Valley Inn) was built in the early 1800s in Upper Saucon Township near Hellertown. The most recent iteration was re-opened in July 2014. Indoors, patrons can sit in one of the dining rooms or at the bar. Tin ceilings, original wood floors, and wood wainscoting create a homey feel. In appropriate weather, guests can dine outdoors on the covered patio (including a bar) near the pond, fountains (although they weren’t operational on the day that we dined), and bridge. A screened-in outdoor dining pavilion is also available and particularly suited to private events. 

The Spring Valley Tavern serves international cuisine. One of their claims to fame is fresh trout, supplied by their spring-fed pond that runs under the building. The dinner entrĂ©e menu is not inexpensive, although the lunch/tavern menu offers great value with a selection of pub appetizers, hot and cold sandwiches, soups, and salads. We tried the soup and salad/half-sandwich combos as well as a grilled Reuben sandwich (served with fries), followed by a yummy slice of (made-on-the-premises) coconut layer cake. 

We enjoyed our al fresco lunch at Ye Olde Spring Valley Tavern.
