Begun in 1987 as a caterer in Urbanna, has now grown to also be a waterfront Restaurant serving in our location in White Stone, Virginia. Our Cafe' has become a popular eatery in Lancaster County, drawing people from surrounding towns of Irvington, Kilmarnock, and Lively. Our Cafe' began in 1992 and we added our Coffee Shop in April of 2008. Unfortunately, on February 11, 2010, a fire, originating

in the attic, engulfed our location. We relocated to 327 Old Ferry Road in White Stone. Our Cater division has served many diverse parties though out the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula as well as the entire state of Virginia. We service Corporate Picnics, Family Reunions, Weddings, Fund Raisers, Promotional Events as well as many other types of social and group gatherings. We serve Upscale Galas and Backyard Barbecues with Casual Elegance. For the past three years, we have been voted the number one caterer in eastern Virginia by the readers of the Virginia Living Magazine. Willaby's Cafe' is open for lunch Friday and Saturday, 11-3, Dinner Wednesday through Saturday 5 till 8. Come in and try our new menu items. We opened our doors in August 1992 and have grown each year since relying heavily on an excellent staff and a splash here and there of our Fine Sauces. We now serve Lunch and Dinner. At the lower end of the Northern Neck of Virginia lies the county of Lancaster and at the lower end of Lancaster lies Willaby's Restaurant in the town of White Stone. So you might say we're pretty far down there. Willaby's was a consistent Live Music venue every Thursday and Friday Night. Thursday Night followed a format we call Performers on the Rise that showcases local Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula talent. On Friday we had what we called Friday Night Live where we bring in talented, seasoned musicians from not only Virginia but also the entire Mid-Atlantic region. Through careful attention to enhancing acoustics and a high-quality house music system, our venue has become a favorite spot for live music for concert goers from throughout eastern Virginia. We look forward to serving music with our great food and beverages again when it is safe to do so.

We will be closing all day this coming Saturday, April 26th.

As we see the busyness of the coming summer, we all feel the need to pause and take some time to connect with our loved ones at home. Being in the Restaurant AND Catering hospitality services, they don't get to see a lot of us and certainly never on a Saturday.

This one's for the team, the rest of the summer is for y'all! Get Down and see us soon, We are connecting deeper with our roots and have a huge surprise for you next week!

Big Love y'all!!

Whole smoked salmon is one of my favorite preparations. Never tire of putting this dish together, striving to find ways to improve each time.

Honored to present this as part of a full menu for a very special anniversary celebration today at Historic Christ Church & Museum . Congratulations Robert and all of the community that provides us this wonderful historic resource through it's programs, events and research.

Sometimes we overlook the interesting attractions in our own backyard. If you've never toured this amazing place, plan to do it this spring. If you have guests coming into town and want to take them to a local historical, educational spot, put this on your list, you won't be disappointed. You may find yourself inspired to become part of the community that continues to lift this holy place higher to the heavens.
