Newcomb Farms in Quincy Has Closed Due to Purchase of Its Space; Hopes to Reopen Next Year

A Quincy mainstay for comfort food has shut down due to its space being bought, though it appears that the restaurant could be returning if all goes well.

According to a source, Newcomb Farms in the Wollaston section of Quincy is now closed, with a Facebook post from the Beale Street space saying the following:

Thank you everyone for 55 + years of business at the Wollaston Beale street location. We have enjoyed all of you and your families. We hope we have given you many memories over the years. At the current time the entire block of stores have been purchased and we were the last to sell our property. We plan on coming back to reopen in 2021 at the same store front.

The note refers customers to its other location on Route 28 in Milton, which remains in operation.

Newcomb Farms in Quincy has been known in part for its family-friendly atmosphere and its breakfast plates along with its classic American fare.

The address for Newcomb Farms in Quincy's Wollaston area is 31 Beale Street, Quincy, MA, 02170. The website for Newcomb Farms can be found at https://www.newcombfarmsrestaurant.com/

Hearth 'n Kettle in Weymouth Has Closed

A small group of restaurants known in part for their breakfast dishes and old-fashioned comfort food items has gotten a bit smaller, as their sole Boston-area location has shut down.

According to a source, Hearth 'n Kettle is no longer in operation, with a post within the Weymouth Foodies Facebook group page showing a photo of a sign out front that says "We have sold the building and closed the restaurant effective today July 30th, 2020." A check on the Hearth 'n Kettle website seems to confirm its closure, as the locations page has removed detailed information on the Weymouth outlet while its location on the map is no longer a live link. Its two remaining restaurants in Hyannis and South Yarmouth remain open, based on the locations page.

Hearth 'n Kettle first started out in 1973, and once had a number of other locations in Eastern Massachusetts, including in Attleboro, Franklin, Plymouth, and Orleans; the Weymouth location had been in business for 23 years. (The Catania Hospitality Group, which is behind Hearth 'n Kettle, also runs the Dan'l Webster Inn in Sandwich and Grand Cru in Hyannis.)

The address for the now-closed Hearth 'n Kettle in Weymouth was 151 Main Street, Weymouth, MA, 02188. The website for the remaining two locations can be found at https://www.hearthnkettle.com/
