# Sarpanch Haveli, Garhshankar: Punjabi Flavours, Heritage and Celebrations - Link: https://hoshiarpurtoday.com/a-taste-of-heritage-a-table-a-tea-break-and-a-little-punjab-at-sarpanch-haveli/ - Published: 2026-10-28T15:24:44+05:30 - Author: RAMAN KUMAR SAHDEV _Vegetarian and non-vegetarian dining, a beer bar and a banquet hall meet village nostalgia on Chandigarh Road._ **Photography: Raman Kumar Sahdev** HoshiarpurToday.com A meal at Sarpanch Haveli comes with plenty to catch the eye before the menu arrives. A red, fort-style gateway opens into a courtyard with a fountain, traditional displays and corners that invite visitors to slow down. On Chandigarh Road near the Reliance Petrol Pump in Garhshankar, this Punjabi-themed venue brings dining and memories of village life into the same outing. The appeal is in the setting as much as the stop itself: a table for conversation, objects that recall an older Punjab and room to wander after a meal. ## Vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices Sarpanch Haveli serves both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, giving families and groups a choice around the same table. Its Punjabi character suits a family lunch, an evening meal or a break during a journey. Ask for the current menu and what is available on the day, rather than planning around a dish that may not be on offer. For a shorter visit, a tea break offers time to take in the surroundings. Wooden tables, carved screens and the rustic dining-room decor make the space part of the conversation. ![Wooden tables and carved screens in the dining room.](https://hoshiarpurtoday. com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/03-1001611482.jpg) Wooden tables and carved screens in the dining room.

Alongside everyday dining, these facilities give visitors the option of enquiring about a planned gathering in the haveli setting. For a function, discuss the date, guest capacity, vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu arrangements, and booking terms directly with the venue. The hall’s availability and the details of an event are best settled before invitations go out. ## The Punjab remembered around the table Metal vessels, radios, a television, a horn-style gramophone and substantial wooden cabinets give the interiors their nostalgic character. Motorcycles add another point of interest. For one visitor, an object may recall a grandparent’s home; for another, it may be something seen for the first time. Outside, carriage and cart displays, a tractor and a traditional halat water-lifting arrangement continue the village theme. Garden paths, sheltered seating and animal sculptures offer more to explore after dining. ![Objects that bring village memories to the table.](https://hoshiarpurtoday.com/ wp-content/uploads/2026/10/02-1001611479.jpg) Objects that bring village memories to the table.

Contact the venue to arrange a shoot and discuss access and timings. ## Plan a little time beyond the meal Whether the visit is for food, a gathering or photographs, the haveli’s charm lies in the way its spaces invite conversation. Leave time to explore: the objects and courtyards can be as much a part of the outing as the table itself. **Planning your visit:** Chandigarh Road, near Reliance Petrol Pump, Garhshankar, Hoshiarpur district, Punjab. **Contact:** [94784 92792](https://hoshiarpurtoday.com/a-taste-of-heritage-a-table-a-tea-break-and-a-little-punjab-at-sarpanch-haveli/+919478492792).
