Since opening it's doors in 1961, The Sherwood has become an easily recognizable landmark in Brantford.

The original restaurant was destroyed by fire, a downside to the menu specialties of charcoal cooked ribs and steak. Reopening several months later it was clear this location was going to be a fixture on Colborne St.

In Sherwood tradition of "always in quantities worthy of Robin Hood and his Merry Men", the Sunday brunch is well known and loved 50 years later. Serving an All You Can Eat meal in the main dining room is a weekly meeting spot for family and friends while eating a classic array of breakfast favourites. The early meal buffet usually includes lunch mains, salads and desserts as well as breakfast and the later evening buffet includes a vast selection of roast beef, perch, sirloin, chicken and sides.

Along with being a landmark meeting spot for family and friends, they are also known for their exceptional catering business.

The full service or drop off catering can easily handle a small crowd or guests up to 2000. All catering meals are carefully planned and fully customizable to suit your needs and dietary restrictions.

Full course meals with desserts or simple servings are available for all occasions.

While small events are always nice, The Sherwood is classically known for catering several large events within Southern Ontario. Events such as The Waterdown Annual Fish Fry, Adventures on the Grand and The Hamilton Harbour Queen have all served amazing feasts.

Locally around Brantford The Sherwood has strong values about giving back to the community. For many years they have been and made valuable contributions to The Rotary Perch Fry, The Rotary Classic Run, Relay For Life, United Way events and the upcoming Brantford Community Air Show.

This annual local event hosts a "Dinner With The Pilots" evening. This year, the dinner is to be held on Tuesday, August 29th at The Brant Aero Building at the Brantford Airport. This event gives the attending dinner guests an up close and personal dinner with an esteemed pilot featured in the air show. The $90 ticket will get you a seat at the table with incredible views from inside the hangar and your gourmet dinner. The fundraising dinner along with donations at the air show the following day, raise funds for both The Rotary Club of Brantford and The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum.

Fully set up with Sherwood servers along with 16 volunteers made up of mainly cadets, they will be able to serve the 400 diners in about a 20 minute span.

For the Social hour starting at 5:30, you will be casually enjoying shrimp cocktail and bacon wrapped chestnuts along with finger foods of pretzels, party mix, nachos and salsa. When dinner is served at 7, you will be starting your feasting adventure on never ending bowls fresh greens and caesar salads and a house made broccoli salad with a special Sherwood addition of bacon. The buffet style main course consists of roasted chicken, seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper and rosemary along with a penne pasta primavera selection. The main event and the most impressive is one that The Sherwood is well known for, Roast Beef. The carving table is set up with two carvers on site serving you the best cuts of rare, medium or well done to your liking.

Desserts will be brought to the table Country style with assorted pastries and fresh fruit to choose from. This serving style will ensure the most time possible spent at your table while engaging in conversation with your pilot and table mates. The dinner will also include bottles of wine at each table and all proceeds from the bar service will be donated back to the event. Along with The Sherwood, Culligan Water in Brantford has also been donating the drinking water for dinner since the start of the show approximately 17 years ago.

Sitting down with Dennis Duce, owner of The Sherwood, it is obvious that giving back to the community and supporting local events and other local businesses is extremely important to himself and his staff.
