ABOUT Situated in picturesque Loudoun County, Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm combines four historic, original antique buildings, each connected and restored to represent the classic American Inn. The history of the design goes back to the early 1980s when Clyde’s purchased a series of antique heavy timber structures that had been destined for the wrecking ball. These structures were photographed, labeled, disassembled, preserved, and stored for later restoration with no clear understanding of where or when they would be employed. When the opportunity for a new restaurant at Broadlands arose, this became the perfect venue to combine these historic pieces in creating what will become a truly unique restaurant for Northern Virginia. The eye will delight in the outrageous collection of art found at Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm—the antique carriages from the late nineteenth century hanging from the ceiling of the Carriage Bar; the life-sized horse, made in France and once the mascot of the famous 21 Club in New York City, pulling an antique carriage; the complete collection of “Audubon’s Fifty Best” from the Original Havell Engravings of John James Audubon’s Birds of America featured in the front dining room and adjacent bar; and the two beautiful sleighs poised outside the entrance, restored to their original splendor. Murals by Wiggins & Paulsen cover the walls of the long interior hallway and the small Samuel French Tavern dining room, and several of their paintings are found at the entrance. OUR FOOD The best food starts with the best ingredients. Now widely embraced, most gave this simple idea little thought until recently. At Clyde’s Restaurant Group, however, this view has always informed how we create our menus. We embraced a farm-to-table approach before the term was coined. Decades ago, we chose to source ingredients locally, establishing relationships with farmers who grew the best fruits and vegetables around. Working directly with nearby farms gave our chefs the freshest ingredients to create the most flavorful dishes, while also supporting the local economy. At Clyde’s, we call this seasonal, sustainable food philosophy our “Commitment to Better,” and it informs everything we do. In addition to local, farm-grown produce, our restaurants showcase the freshest seafood from nearby waters, supporting fishers along the East Coast, including the neighboring Chesapeake Bay. And we proudly serve humanely raised beef and chicken that’s free of hormones or antibiotics. Simply put, we believe great dining begins with fresh ingredients, friendly people, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Our Banquet Chef and Event Team are here to help you create a meaningful, memorable experience.
