Our History
The Deerpark Inn, formerly The Chestnut Tree, was acquired by renowned restaurateur Richard Corrigan in 2019. Initially used for private parties during the Covid period, in 2023 it was redeveloped into what is now the stylish and celebrated Deerpark Inn. Today, it serves as a landmark destination in Virginia for locals and visitors, offering a comfortable and stylish setting to enjoy a drink, dine in the restaurant or spend the night in one of the elegant guest rooms.
Farm to Fork
A sister venue to Richard Corrigan’s Virginia Park Lodge, the Deerpark Inn celebrates the finest and freshest ingredients, many of which are sourced directly from the Lodge’s abundant gardens. The menu showcases elevated takes on pub classics, such as Richard’s Deerpark Pork, made with Plum Pudding Pigs that are reared with care on the estate grounds. Seasonal produce from the gardens includes staples like garlic, onions, carrots and potatoes, along with fresh seasonal specialties like pumpkin, rhubarb, cherries and other garden-grown delights.
