Shields Tavern


In the 18th century, Shields Tavern was a popular gathering place for travelers and Williamsburg’s middle class. The fare we serve today reflects the tastes of the “middling sort” in both Williamsburg and England during that time. Our menu is inspired by recipes found in 18th-century cookbooks, including Dictionarium Domesticum, The Complete Housewife, and The Court and Country Cook.

  • Shields Tavern proudly offers a selection of refreshing nonalcoholic beverages, perfect for any guest to enjoy.

  • At Shields Tavern, we take pride in supporting our local community by sourcing ingredients from nearby farms and purveyors. This commitment ensures the highest quality and allows us to showcase the rich flavors of the region. Whether you're craving a hearty entrée, a light bite, or a sweet treat to end your meal, our menu offers something to delight every palate, inviting you to experience the true essence of Colonial-inspired dining.
