What Webber Restaurant Group does

Webber Restaurant Group is an independent, family-owned hospitality company headquartered in Groton, Massachusetts, that owns and operates four distinct restaurant concepts, a catering business, multiple exclusive event venues, and a 500-acre working farm. Its restaurants include Gibbet Hill Grill (a farm-to-table concept in Groton), The Bancroft (a modern American steakhouse in Burlington), Scarlet Oak Tavern (a neighborhood restaurant in Hingham), and The Double Bull (an indoor/outdoor beer garden taphouse in Peabody). The group also operates Fireside Catering and at least four exclusive wedding/event venues — The Barn at Gibbet Hill, The Stevens Estate at Osgood Hill, The Estate at Moraine Farm, and external venue partnerships including Crane Estate and Misselwood. A core operational differentiator is the company's vertically integrated Gibbet Hill Farm, which grows produce (3+ acres for chef use) and has raised Black Angus cattle since 1949, supplying fresh ingredients to all restaurants and underpinning a farm-to-fork brand positioning.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) food and beverage sales across the four restaurant locations (transaction-based, per-cover pricing), (2) catering and event revenue from Fireside Catering and venue rentals (per-person catering fees and venue fees for weddings, corporate events, and private parties), and (3) gift card sales at denominations from $25 to $200, currently sold only for The Bancroft. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and localized to Massachusetts and the broader New England region, with no indication of franchise operations, delivery-only brands, or national expansion. Marketing relies on organic social (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), an active company blog, and earned media coverage in regional outlets such as Boston Magazine, Thrillist, and Northshore Magazine.

The company is led by the Webber family — co-owners Josh Webber (former Morgan Stanley M&A analyst, Darden MBA), Jed Webber (Darden MBA, ex-management consultant), Asia Webber (project management and interior design background), and Kate Webber (Certified Sommelier pursuing Masters of Wine) — alongside a professional management team including COO Tom Totman (with the company since 2004), Culinary Director Ian Davey (Le Cordon Bleu-trained, promoted in 2022), Beverage Director Dave Werthman, and Marketing Director Amy Severino. The company has no disclosed institutional investment, private equity involvement, or parent company, and operates as a privately held, family-controlled entity.
