This Raymond, New Hampshire Tavern Has Its Own In-House Butcher, and the Burgers Show It

Tuckaway Tavern and Butchery at 58 Route 27 in Raymond is what happens when a talented chef with a deep meat background opens a restaurant attached to his own full-service butcher shop.

Every burger starts with Certified Angus Ribeye and Tenderloin ground fresh in-house and hand-pressed throughout the day, landing on a custom locally baked bun branded with the Tuckaway logo. The sourcing starts in the butcher shop and finishes on the grill.

Chef Bobby Marcotte has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives three times. That combination of national recognition and consistent local popularity is what a restaurant earns when the kitchen matches its reputation. It made Only In Your State's guide to the best burgers.

Marcotte has also appeared on four episodes of Guy's Grocery Games and is a two-time champion. The culinary credentials are real.

What to Order

The Tuckaway Tavern Burger is the reliable starting point: fresh-ground beef, American or cheddar, on the house bun. The Whole Tuckin' Farm layers multiple proteins and housemade sauces for those who want the full Tuckaway experience.

The Bomb Burger adds steak tips, cheddar, American cheese, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms. The Bison Burger offers a leaner option.

Beyond burgers: scratch chicken pot pie, house-made charcuterie, and the Tuckin' Biggest Lobster Roll. The adjacent butcher shop carries more than 20 house-crafted sausages and gourmet burger blends available for home purchase.

From Butcher Shop to DDD Feature

Tuckaway opened more than a decade ago in a barn-red building in Raymond and grew organically as Chef Bobby's reputation spread. The adjacent butcher shop is what makes the restaurant possible: the beef quality starts there.

The combination of a working butcher shop and a restaurant under the same roof gives Tuckaway a level of sourcing control that most restaurants can't match.

Chef Bobby Marcotte's culinary background includes extensive training in classical technique, which shows in the housemade sauces, the custom bun recipe, and the precision of the beef blend he's refined over years of service.

The barn-red building on Route 27 is a Raymond landmark. The combination of butcher shop and restaurant under one roof has created a destination that draws customers from across southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
