Hook and Plow specializes in sharing organic ingredients sourced from local farms and retailers across Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, including bread from Sparrow Bakery and grass-fed beef from Painted Hills Natural Beef. The Bend location represents the fourth installment of the family-run business for twin sisters Lauren and Lisa Cassity. They founded their first Hook and Plow restaurant in Hermosa Beach, CA in 2014, followed by two additional California locations in Redondo Beach, which opened in 2018, and Manhattan Beach, which they expect to open in the coming months.
The name Hook and Plow comes to life with the décor and neutral color palette. The “hook” is seen through the nautical elements, with ropes tethered from the floor to the ceiling in the entryway and mirrors mimicking portholes. The “plow” manifests through the rustic chic elements of the wood paneling, creating a visually appealing space that highlights the full bar. Large windows provide an abundance of natural light, and the roll-up doors transition to the outdoor seating area in the warmer months.
“Hook and Plow was a project that combined traditional restaurant and kitchen build-outs with very creative and unique design elements, which the owners Lisa and Lauren brought into play,” Construction Services Managing Partner Steve Hendley commented. “Custom countertops, custom 9-wood ceilings, a rope display, and steel hanging planter boxes were a few of the elements contributing to a beautiful and inviting restaurant space. Lisa and Lauren are experienced restaurant operators, knew what they wanted the feel to be and how they wanted it to look, and they successfully accomplished that.”
