A warm welcome awaits you at The Black Shire Pub in the heart of downtown London. The Black Shire is named for the Black Shire breed of horses of England, which are known for their strength and nobility. For the past century, Shire horses have delivered beer daily in the city streets of London, England, and are the breed that carried armies of Knights into battle during the reign of King Henry II.
As the seasons change so do the items on our menu. We strive to create local fare which is brought to you, farmed and produced by our neighbors. In addition to our pub menu you will be offered weekly crafted menu items- comfort food, food made with fresh never frozen ingredients that have been sourced from our community.
Visit us for a break or lunch. Drop by for drinks after work. Meet for a cozy dinner. Gather around the bar with the gang. The Black Shire offers you a true pub experience, right here in London, ON. We’re open seven days a week and feature live Blues music on Special Event nights. Cheers!
