About Us
Welcome to The Stockpot!
Nestled on the Piscataqua river on historic Bow Street, The Stockpot has been a Portsmouth landmark for over 25 years! Established in 1982, The Stockpot has also become a local favorite. The building we are in was built in the early 1800's to service the mercantile businesses in the seacoast area. This building & the adjacent dock have the original foundations & beams from the period. They were originally occupied by Charles E. Peck, a carriage & sleigh manufacturer. At the turn of the century it became a small brewery operated by Charles E. Boynton. The wheel in the dining room was used to run the elevator that brought goods from the dock level to the upper stories of the building.
The current proprietors, Meredith & Peter Stolper, also own Exeter's landmark restaurant, The Loaf and Ladle, and their newest venture, The Loaf and Ladle in Portsmouth.
