12th Annual Winchester Restaurant Week (RW), presented by the Winchester Main Street Foundation (WMSF), is your chance to show off what makes your restaurant special! Highlight guest favorites, signature dishes, or menu items you love to create. Be creative, have fun, and make a great impression on both new and returning guests.
Multi-Course Menu
Offer a competitive price to attract new diners and reward loyal customers. Restaurants choose their own pricing in $5 increments (for example, three courses for $20, $30, or $35). Portions should reflect your regular menu; this is not a tasting menu. Each course should include two to three choices.
Meal Deals
Offer specially priced entrees, cocktails, appetizers, desserts, or family meal packs. Prices should also be in $5 increments (for example, $5 appetizers, $10 entrees, $5 desserts, or a $30 family meal pack).

representative who will visit during Restaurant Week to help promote your business. See page 4:
“Restaurant Week Complimentary Meal Voucher” for full details.
Relationship & Liability
- Restaurants and WMSF are independent contractors; participation does not create a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship.
- Restaurants with repeated complaints (for example, insufficient portions, not providing an RW menu) may not be invited to participate in future events.
- Neither party is responsible for failure to perform obligations due to acts of God, government action, strikes, labor issues, fires, floods, or other unforeseen events.
- Neither party is liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
