Crew given week off with pay starting Saturday, July 3
Cheever Tavern is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its opening next week by doing something untraditional for what could be its busiest week of the year – closing. The popular American tavern is giving their 30 full- and part-time employees the week off, with pay.
“Our crew has worked incredibly hard over the past year not only opening a restaurant, but operating successfully during Covid,” owner Mike Sheehan said. “They were constantly asked to push the boundaries of their job descriptions and they did a masterful job keeping themselves and guests safe while being on the front line of enforcement of state-mandated Covid restrictions. They deserve the break and the thanks.”
Cheever Tavern will be closed Saturday, July 3 and will re-open on Saturday, July 10.
Cheever Tavern is located in Norwell Center, adjacent to the First Parish Norwell Unitarian Church and cemetery, which is the final resting place of many of Norwell’s founding families, including Pulitzer Prize-winning author John Cheever, one of America’s premier chroniclers of the 20th century. Cheever’s family gravesite is a few steps from Cheever Tavern’s front door.
Cheever Tavern is normally open Tuesday and Wednesday from 3 pm to 9 pm, Thursday through Saturday from 11:30 am to 10 pm, and on Sunday for Brunch from 10 am to 2 pm, Dinner from 4 pm to 8 pm. For more information: www.cheevertavern.com.
