Think globally, eat locally.

With our collective family roots firmly planted in England, Ireland and Scotland, it is no surprise that our seasonal menus have been inspired by the memorable gastro pubs that we have visited in the U.K. We strive to bring that culinary philosophy to our seasonal lunch and dinner menus at the Black Dog featuring as many local foods as we are able to source including meat, fish, cheese and produce, all prepared with simplicity, style and a bit of ethnicity and served within the framework of a local village pub.

The Black Dog is all about true taste and big flavour, a philosophy that is reinforced on a daily basis.

Our Menus

With few exceptions, everything we serve is made in our kitchen, including our fantastic soups, renowned burgers, vinaigrettes, sauces, chutneys, daily specials and creative desserts.

Cheers. Slainte Mhor!

The consummate host, Ted McIntosh has been involved in the hospitality industry in many capacities for more than 35 years. A longtime wine and spirits enthusiast, and a passionate quality beer lover, Ted has worked for two breweries, a winery and imported single malts into Canada. Ted is also a graduate sommelier with a very comprehensive understanding of Ontario VQA wines in particular. No surprise then that the pub has been the recipient of the VQA Wine Award each year since it opened. Ted's passion for single malts and Irish whiskies is demonstrated in the breadth and length of the pub's scotch and whisky list. It is not unusual to see Ted decked out in his kilt of magnificent McIntosh tartan and accompanying regalia conducting a scotch nosing for a table of guests

Twenty beers on tap is no small achievement
