Chef Erin and her team catered a wedding celebration at our home providing appetizers and dinner that were outstanding. Our guests were delighted with her recipes, presentation, and service. This was a 5-star experince. I highly recommend Gather Provisions!

Legitimately one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time! I got the Goss and it was toasted to perfection as well as packed with flavor. The staff was incredibly friendly to me and my boyfriend as well as accommodating to my dairy allergy! Vibes were also chill with a live singer performing while we enjoyed our lunch. Highly recommend to anyone in the central MA/ northborough area.

This is my favorite place to go when I’m craving a good sandwich!! The Thorndike is seriously one of the best vegetarian sandwiches I have ever had it’s bursting with flavor and always leaves me feeling satisfied after I cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for a really good lunch spot!

I heard about this place ages ago and finally made here to see what might be gluten free … lucky me … I was able to get the Fay in a gluten free wrap and it was delicious especially since it didn’t fall apart. The sandwich was a harmonious combination of flavors and textures. I’m already looking forward to going back and I haven’t even left yet.

EDIT: Holy shamoley their Friday special Steak and Cheese sandwich is the best sandwich I ever had in my entire life. See the picture for perfection. The rest of this comment is from last year and still rings true: Yay for their first day! I’ve gone to the store that used to be in this location (Paired, Poured and Plated) once or twice for wine and it was fine but to combine a wine selection with some delicious sandwiches is more my speed! FYI they cannot sell alcohol until their liquor license is approved but that should only take a couple weeks so be patient if you come visit them this month! They have beer and cider too, just on display at the moment. Okay now for the sandwiches. My partner and I got the west main and the park vale, and we thought they were delicious! Mine needed a bread substitute but that was totally fine. Nice size for the price. I also purchased some marinated olives and they were scrumptious. Their was a giant wheel of honey goat cheese in the prepared foods display that I want to try next time! They also carry a TON of near and far goods in their retail section, including MOESHMALLOWS!! I had the pleasure of trying these locally made marshmallows at a brewery I frequent and them having a cute food truck so when I saw the churro and vanilla flavors available at Gather Provisions I HAD to pick up a bag! I can’t wait to try their homemade, from scratch tomato soup the next time I visit. Chef Erin Anderson was extremely nice (as was her assistant) and I’m looking forward to enjoying whatever she decides to make next as she gets into a groove! If you’re looking for lunch or dinner in the Northborough area give them a chance, I’m happy I did!

Our first time there and we loved everything about it. The staff especially the owner were very welcoming and pleasant. The sandwiches we ordered were some of the best we have ever eaten. For a small establishment, there was enough seating options and a very good menu. We will definitely be back and will be telling all our friends to give it a try. Thanks
