          WHO WE ARE | On January 20, 1973, renowned pianist Dolph Traymon and his wife Audrey opened the Fife 'n Drum Restaurant doors for dinner, and never looked back. In 1982, they subsequently established their Inn and Gift Shop. Today, the Fife 'n Drum is Kent's award-winning landmark restaurant. Today, the Traymons, along with daughter Elissa Traymon Potts, continue to maintain their personal commitment to fine food, good music and attentive hospitality, as they move into their 44th year of operation.


          WHERE WE ARE | The Fife, as it is commonly known, is centrally located ~ right on Rt 7, across from the Kent Green and just north of the Railroad tracks. We have it all. . .a US Highway, a train and a working farm. At present, the train operates as a freight line. The train usually runs only one morning and early evening round trip Monday to Friday. Just west of the farm, you will come to both the Housatonic River, a "Blue Ribbon River" and the Appalachian Trail. To this day, there is still only one stoplight in the town. And yes, all of this is located in the heart of the charming Litchfield Hills.


          WHAT WE OFFER | The Fife's Award-winning Wine List is 1 of 12 restaurants in Connecticut to be awarded the 2017 Best of Award of Excellence from the Wine Spectator Magazine. Our seasoned staff make the Fife 'n Drum a memorable destination to either grab a quick bite, mark a special occasion or celebrate a romantic evening. We also provide music entertainment for a more intimate experience for our diners and guests. Our menu selections are viewable on the website.


          OUR LODGINGS | The rooms are charming and very comfortable. We are within walking distance to the town, as well the the Kent School. After a nice and relaxing meal, you can make your way to one of our rooms for an overnight stay. We have thirteen rooms to choose from. Please call for availability.
