start catering as building search continues

Owners of Tavern 42 plan to introduce catering while they look for a new restaurant location.

Cheryl Moran and Barry DePaolo left the restaurant’s 42 W. Main Street location in Plantsville earlier this year amid disagreement with their landlord, Dean Michanczyk. They’ve been looking for a new restaurant building.

The couple also own Anthony Jack’s on Center Street. Using that kitchen, Moran said they can offer Tavern 42 favorites despite not having a building.

“We haven’t found another location, which seems to be question of the day from everybody,” she said. “Until we find something, we’re going to work a ghost kitchen out of Anthony Jack’s.”

Moran said she hopes to have catering up and running in the next few weeks. She’s working on the menu, getting a dedicated phone line for Tavern 42 catering orders and updating the restaurant’s website.
