Hello all! Happy Wednesday.
I wanted to take a moment to update you on what we have been doing while in quarantine. Of course the first week was full of depression and processing, but after that we realized we have to do something or we will end up being able to do nothing. So we spent some time photographing EVERYTHING in our gift shop, which we are proud and surprised to say includes over 300 items, and we got our gift shop online. If you are looking for a unique or handmade gift idea, our gift shop is a great place to visit. We will ship items as well as package for pick up if anyone is interested. You can browse our giftshop here, https://www.rosehousevenue.com/shop-online
The other thing we have done which in my opinion is the most fun is Rose House Pizza Parties!
The thinking was that since we can’t host your events like we love to do, perhaps we can assist in you having a party at home :-) So we have a hashtag, #RoseHousePizzaParty and would love for you to post photos of your at home pizza party.
If you read my blog regularly, you saw that we had been perfecting our pizza just before the shutdown. We had been having requests for pizza at showers and other events and our kitchen is fully equipped. Since we had already perfected our recipes and menus we decided this was the way to go. We have also added Garlic Cheese Burgers to the menu, and we have amazing cheese curds.
Overall this quarantine has had a very negative effect on the Rose House, there were a lot of events scheduled for Spring that have had to cancel and refunds we’ve had to send, this is difficult and unexpected, and hard not to take personally even though it really is far beyond us. Making pizza’s has made things a bit more normal, your support has been so very encouraging, it gives us reason to keep trying. We need that and really REALLY thank you for it. It has been so fun to bring some delicious food and happiness to the public while we are all stuck.
For now our pizza parties are available on Thursdays from 3-8pm, we will likely be offering these parties through the Summer. For the first month of curbside, the staff for these parties was only the owners of the Rose House. For me, it has been fun just working with my husband-we met working in fast food over twenty years ago (oh the memories!). Between the two of us we are not always able to keep up. We know not to delay people when they are hungry, so beginning this week we are bringing back one more staff member for efficiency. She will have a mask and gloves and be the one to hand you your pizza.
You can order online https://form.jotform.com/200915301859151 Or by calling or emailing the Rose House, 715-997-9556 or hello@rosehousevenue.com, when you order we will reply to you with a pick up time. If you don’t get a response, we didn’t get your order, so please call.
Pizza pick up is on Strongs Ave, just outside our kitchen door in the loading zone, we run out and hand it to you through your passenger window. It is best to pay in cash and have exact change, but if you need to pay with credit or debit you can do that. We don’t have the online order form set up for that, so you do have to get out of the car.
This is the delux pizza. I think it’s one of the most popular.
Garlic Cheese burger. We make the buns in house, so yummy!
These are the smiles we love to see! From an at home pizza party :-)
Thank you so much for your support through this all, we love you!
