Ploughman Cider Taproom — Restaurant in Gettysburg

We arrived in Gettysburg around 1000 on a Saturday night in search of something to eat before finding a hotel. Most restaurants were closed and we were happy to find this gem of a spot. We had two kinds of fresh pasties, cheese and onion and chickpea curry; both were amazing. We then shared a salad (they only have one salad) and it was absolutely, deliciously amazing.
