My husband and I were married here this past May. We found the place by accident and fell in love with it instantly. We had been to at least 4 locations prior to finding The Chocksett and had resigned ourselves to the fact that we would have to compromise some of our expectations and settle on something not quite perfect. That was not the case. When we met with Diana at The Chocksett, she surprised us by answering all of our questions with the answers we hoped for. We dined in their restaurant and were thrilled with the quality of food. We booked the place the next week!
We were married on-site in their garden and held the reception in their new hall. The food was phenomenal! Everyone raved about it. I was amazed at the quality of each and every one of the 175 meals that were served. The food was wonderful in the restaurant, but I thought it might suffer on such a large scale. Thankfully, I was wrong. Their chef has been with them for years and has previously worked at a small bistro on the Cape. Hopefully, he will be there for many more years to come.
Our wedding guests accounted for all of the overnight guests in the 26 rooms at the Inn. The rooms are nicely appointed with double, queen or king size beds and kitchenettes in most (if not all) of them. Of course, my husband and I stayed in their deluxe honeymoon suite which had two floors and a spiral staircase! Very nice and worth the extra $100 for the night.
There are a few minor reasons why I did not give The Chocksett Inn 5 stars. Their staffing changed while we were planning the wedding which required some getting used to. That being said, Paula (the new wedding planner, was great. Their time frame for the new reception hall changed during our planning so not everything was completed on time. This was not a big deal as all of the big things were done and the place looked fabulous. My mother was freaking out about the landscaping, but I didn't find that to be a deal breaker. I was, however, disappointed that not everything was installed as they said it would be. They couldn't pipe in my music for the cocktail hour and the bathroom in the bridal "holding" suite was not functional due to issues with with their permits. That seems to me like something that should have been realized earlier in the process of building.
I highly recommend The Chocksett Inn for weddings, however even if you are not planning a wedding, it is worth the trip out for dinner. They have regular comedy nights and offer specials on Mondays and Tuesdays (buy one meal, get one free). They also have random weekend getaway specials which could be fun. My husband and I are very much looking forward to our anniversary dinner there next May. -

When we were picking out a wedding venue, we checked out the Chocksett Inn. We wanted a country wedding, and a place with good food so we decided to try to Chocksett for dinner.
Our restaurant experience was a little weird...there was no hostess, so we had to as the concierge what to do. We had to sit there in the lobby for about 5-10 minutes before a waitress showed us to a table.
Our food was average, aside from the fact that everything was a little too salty for our tastes. My caesar salad was good but my now-husband's crab soup was wayyyy too salty. I got some steak with lobster mac and cheese as my main course. The steak was sort of unmemorable but the lobster mac and cheese was pretty good but again, salty.
Service, however, was great.
The salty food helped us to decide to continue on our quest, along with the sort of blah ambiance. It felt like it was trying to feel colonial but it wasn't quite succeeding...it felt sorta pseudo-colonial and not as cozy at we hoped. -

Attended a wedding here and stayed for one night. The wedding planner (on staff) did not miss a beat. She made the event run flawlessly. The food at the dinner (for 150 people) was the best banquet food we have ever experienced. The appetizers (stroling staff served) were delicious and surprisingly the entrees were served hot at the tables and the quality and taste of the food was fabulous. The rooms (which are al suites) are very clean and smoke free! A great venue for any banquet event, but a perfect setting for a wedding!
