Par­son’s Pub and Grill a new culi­nary ad­ven­ture

by Amanda Ca­margo

BAR­TON — When Par­son’s Cor­ner closed its doors lo­cals were left with­out one of their fa­vorite places to grab a bite to eat.  This was a prob­lem that Sue and Darcy Beld­ing sought to rec­tify.  They were run­ning the Willo­Barn Snack Barn in Brown­ing­ton this past sum­mer when they heard that Par­son’s was avail­able.  They saw this as an op­por­tu­nity for some­thing amaz­ing in a place they loved, so they closed the Willo­Barn and opened what is now known as Par­son’s Pub and Grill.

The new Par­son’s, with its homey at­mos­phere and friendly staff, opened in mid-Sep­tem­ber.  Its own­ers hope to make it much more than just a place to eat.  They hope it will be­come a sta­ple in the com­mu­nity, where, as Ms. Beld­ing put it, “We may not know your name when you come in, but hope­fully we will know it by the time you leave.”
