Malvern is a daily destination for thousands of area residents who work in and around the Great Valley Corporate Center. The corporate center itself is symbol of modern day Chester County. Ironically, in its shadow sits a symbol of Chester County's past. Tucked away, well within reach but just out of site, there is a restaurant and inne that offers a safe haven from the hustle and bustle of the corporate world and has earned the loyal patronage of local residents and travelers alike by staying true to its historical roots and very high standards. The General Warren Inne represents the benchmark that other establishments measure themselves against because of their devotion to representing Chester County's past and their commitment to providing world class hospitality and cuisine. In years passed the General Warren Inne had earned the reputation as the place to host a corporate event, private function, casual rehearsal dinner or to celebrate that special birthday or anniversary. There is a very good chance that you may have attended a wedding or corporate function there in the past. If you were like me you probably thought the food and service were excellent and the setting was captivating. But you couldn't see yourself just stopping in for a casual bite. Fortunately, the owners recognized this and embarked on a massive renovation of the entire property, creating several different dining environments to accommodate not only corporate and special events but also those local residents who wanted a casual yet sophisticated environment to enjoy good food and conversation without the need for a special occasion or even a reservation. Upon completion of the renovations it did not take long for word to spread and for many to realize that the new General Warren Inne is exactly what they were looking for. Now there is one place to stop in for a cocktail, casual bite, host a corporate or private event and of course to enjoy one of the regions most talked about formal di
ning experiences.

If we were to look back in time we would see that part of the history of the General Warren Inne included the opening of the Warren Tavern in 1745. The Tavern served casual fare to travelers and local residents until it was eventually lost to make way for more formal dining area as the Inne's reputation for serving fine cuisine spread. As part of the inn's renovations in 2005, the heritage and history that was the Warren Tavern was resurrected. A handsome 18 seat bar, hand crafted from Pennsylvania Maple, is the focal point of this new candlelit and cozy environment that invites you to settle in and relax. This new tavern has become the "secret" lunch destination for those who have grown tired of the loud overcrowded fast food establishments in the Malvern area and prefer something a bit more civilized while maintaining a price point that keeps frequent visits within reach. With that in mind the Warren Tavern offers a delicious two course lunch for only $13.95. If you find it diffi
cult to be inside any more than you have to on those beautiful spring and summer afternoons the Tavern's extended dining area known as the Spring House Terrace, with covered and open air seating, is available when the weather is favorable.

With all that has changed at the General Warren Inne many people will be happy to know that some things are very much the same. As always the American Continental cuisine is inspired by timeless classics while incorporating modern adaptations and is prepared to the highest standards without compromise. Dinner guests continue to enjoy experienced service in candlelit dining rooms, while classic specialties are prepared table-side in dining rooms that are adorned with period furniture and historically relevant wall hangings. Each of eight charming overnight guest suites have remained unchanged and continue to be a destination for not only those who travel long distances to experience the historical splendor of Chester County but also for local residents who want to get away without going away. The General Warren Inne has long been the place where you can arrive with an overnight bag, enjoy genuine hospitality and exceptional cuisine and be home the next afternoon feeling, in some cas
es, more refreshed and relaxed than if you had traveled to a distant location.

As has been the case for centuries, the General Warren Inne has offered residents something to be proud of and travelers something to look forward to. So when you find yourself wishing that you could just get away, remember that you can. Whether for lunch, dinner or an overnight retreat, the staff of the General Warren Inne is waiting to serve you.
