Hey! I'm a freelance writer and guidebook author. I've authored "New Hampshire's 52 With A View - A Hiker's Guide", serve as editor of Appalachian Mountain Club's "Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide", and and am co-editor of the "White Mountain Guide", also for AMC. I'm currently beginning work on the 6th Edition of AMC's Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, which will be published in 2025. I live in southern New Hampshire and can usually be found wandering throughout the state's mountains and forests.
Some of the most interesting places can be found on the back roads of New Hampshire. Getting off the interstate highways and wandering the local roads is a great way to discover natural features, shops, and so much more. This also includes great restaurants that may not be as well known outside of their local communities. One such unique New Hampshire restaurant can be found along rural Route 10 in the sleepy town of Orford in the upper Connecticut River valley.
In its 30th year as of 2023, Peyton Place Restaurant in Orford has crafted a reputation for quality & creative cuisine.
Since 1993, Chef Jim & Heidi Peyton have been the proprietors of Peyton Place and have a clear vision of what is expected from fresh and clean cuisine.
Ingredients are sourced from local Upper Valley farms and growers, not only for their quality but also as an investment back into the local farming community.
You might not expect to find such interesting cuisine nestled along the quiet banks of the Connecticut River, but next time you are traveling through Orford, give Peyton Place a visit.
