Nice atmosphere, slow, impersonal service but the fish n chips were fantastic. Feel like there are better spots in the hood to visit if your stopping in Elora. read more

Stopped by this place by chance! They are currently doing some construction so the pub may be hard to find: it's right next to a sweets store on the left side of the construction if you are facing the hotel. There are some steep stairs right when you enter the pub so keep an eye out. The interior was really cute and the windows face the gorge so it's a relaxing view. The waitress was really friendly and she memorized our order without writing it down so I was really impressed haha (she also knew everyone who came in so the town is really friendly overall) Everything was absolutely AMAZING!! We started with the potato leek soup which was on the lighter side but it warmed us up on the cold day. I ordered the Oktoberfest dish that came with two sausages, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes. The portions are big but I finished the entire plate because it was so dang good. I also tried some of the classic burger with fries, the spicy black bean wrap with salad, and the fish and chips. Everything was perfectly seasoned and tasted great. Definitely a place to stop if you ever visit Elora!!!! read more

Went to this place with coworkers while staying in fergus for few days on business. Made reservations before going. The place is reasonable size with about 10 or 12 tables. There seemed to be a lineup while we were eating so definitely a place people go to. We had nachos for App. Huge portion and lots of cheese. For main I got fish and chips. Also good portions and good flavourful batter on the fish. My coworker got a basket of sweet potato fries and when it came it was huge. And quite tasty and not too oily. Unfortunately my coworker got a tomato soup and hated it. Said it was bland and flavourless and specifically asked me to mention that. How do you mess up tomato soup? The servers were definitely pleasant and the vibe in the place was lively for a small town read more

The lamb burger is my go to food and the atmosphere is perfect. The staff is always helpful.

What great food. Cod bites were the lightest and most delectable little app. Best in Elora by far. Curries are exceptional and authentic. Liver and onions brought memories of home cooking. Vijay was a wonderful host. A must visit if in the area read more

Shepards Pie is the only place that I will ever go when I feel like having some really good Pie

Tasty and okay priced food, but mediocre service and a menu with many items sold out. Came in around 2PM for lunch time. Upon looking at the menu, we knew we wanted the Shepherd's Pie. When it came time to order, turns out it's sold out. Then we wanted the Guinness Beef Stew. Also sold out (both are made in-house and would not be prepared in time). It was a chilly day so we wanted some comfort food. Weirdly enough, ended up ordering Butter Chicken. After ordering, it took about 45 mins for the waitress to come back to tell us that they are out of naan bread, and asked if we wanted to substitute it with something else. Out of the 3 things we wanted, 3 of them had either completely or partly ran out. The food itself was good but not being able to order several of the most popular menu items was really a dampener on the experience. It was Labour Day weekend so I'm sure they were quite busy and that probably explains the less than ideal experience. read more

I live in town and every other week, for years now, we have a standing reservation to meet up here with two other families and all our kids in tow. The staff here is always so great at accommodating us and the kids. My husband and I also like to stop in for lunch once in a while or a drink in the evening. The food is great, comfort food, great fries, I've never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. My husband loves the butter chicken, nachos and wings. I love the chicken Caesar wrap, 40 creek chicken club and the beef and Guinness stew. Our son loves the chicken fingers! My mother's favourite when she comes is the cod bites. So many great options for everyone! They often have seasonal cocktails to which are always great. Looking forward to having a pint in the tiny patio if they open it again this year! It's a welcoming place that's easy, reasonably priced, and has good food. read more

Great food at reasonable price. Best wings in town. My favorite place for eating in or take out in Elora

I stopped in on a walking culinary tour. The second last venue was Shepherd's Pub where we were given a sampling of local brew, Stone Hammer Pilsner. Shepherd's Pub has many local brews on tap. It had a comfortable vibe perfect for having a good time. Even though it's in the lower level, you can still sit at the back and enjoy a view of the Grand River. read more

Asked a local for restaurant advice, she said shepherds pub, glad we took her advice. The food was awesome the portion was large! The Octoberfest dinner is the best read more

I have only been to shepherd's a couple of times but it feels like home. My boyfriend brought me here for our first date because it's his favourite restaurant and has been going here with his family since he was a kid. It's such a good place to be and the waiters and waitresses are always so welcoming and friendly! The food is great too! They even sell these cute homemade masks at the front. I'd definitely recommend eating here! read more

Try a local Stone Hammer Pilsner! It is super cold & delicious!! The fish and chips look fresh & local. Delicious, cold beer... It smells like a whiz down there sometimes, but the food and friendly staff and patrons are legit. During the World Cup they have the huge screen 100% dedicated to soccer! BOOM! Love it!~ read more

2017 -- Update: They're totally working on fulfilling that potential. Much better... 2015 --Has lots of potential but needs a refurb. It's gross... Maybe an enema to clear out the smell that gets you as you go down the stairs to see the worn out seats and carpet that moves whilst you look at it... read more

New location is perfect pub atmosphere! Stopped for mid afternoon lunch. Would highly recommend the calamari and mushroom and avacado wrap. Lovely salad and home made dressing. Server was a friendly fellow. All at reasonable prices. House red wine was great (Mondavi). Will definitely return. Thanks for a charming experience! read more

Nice little pub in Elora. Came here with a group of friends. I ordered fish and chips, sweet potato fries was good and so was coleslaw. The fish was ok. My friends ordered burgers and wraps. Good portion of food. read more

Shepherd's Pub - Fish and sweet potatoes - Pubs Near Me - Centre Wellington, Ontario

Excellent spot in Elora for a nice dinner. The location is great, near lots of free parking. The pub itself is in a bit of an older building, but perfectly serviceable. The wait staff are attentive and prompt. The food is standard pub fare - my girlfriend got the fish and chips (cod), and I got the Irish beef stew. The portion sizes were average, and the taste/quality was good. What was most outstanding to me was the bartender, Amy, who makes custom cocktails. She asks you a few questions about your alcohol preferences, and then crafts a drink using some fairly unique alcohols! My girlfriend and I absolutely loved our drinks. Best of all - very reasonably priced! read more

This place is soooo RAD. The service was amazing and the food was super yummy. The Lamb burger, beef stew and Oktoberfest meal were on point and very generous in portion size. Absolutely recommend this place! read more

This is a busy and thriving pub that locals all recommend. The meat stew is awesome, octoberfest sausages were above and beyond, and the lamb burger was juicy and lamby! Our server was excellent! And... they have great wifi... read more

Love their Fish & chips, as well as the Oktober fest dinner. The food has never disappointed there.

Great selection of local craft beers on tap and the best burger I've had in years ! Try the Mushroom Swiss burger w/sweet potato fries AWESOME!!!!! read more

Decent food, decent atmosphere, decent value. Cleaner then it used to be. Four stars.

You can't go wrong here. The old location was good and the new one is even better. The staff are super friendly, the place is awesome and the food and beer are great. Live music and other events on certain nights. Kid friendly and a very pub-like feel. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for lunch as we saw good reviews and were in town. Got seated right away. We sat there for 20 minutes, with no one coming to see how we were, take our drink order, or even ask if we wanted anything...the kicker is that the male waiter went to BOTH tables beside us about a total of 5 times. Less than impressed and WILL NOT be returning. Please note that I would give 0 star if I could. read more

Cozy & small downstairs dining room with windows overlooking the Grand River. Tasty local beverages on tap plus corporate beers in bottles. GOOD food, made on site - we could tell because it was a little slow arriving. read more

One of the best British pubs in the region. Great food specially bangers and mash and fish and chips. Very friendly staff and lots of great local beer. Very beautiful decorations. read more

This cute place has a lot of potential however there is no excuse for bottles sauces and salad dressing. Also, at this time of year local produce makes a huge difference and it clearly wasn't good quality for anything. I expect more for this area. read more

Cozy pub located below street level with windows tables overlooking the Grand River. Fantastic local micro brews and imported craft beers. Kitchen much improved over the years to include the best nachos in a 100 km radius, Indian restaurant quality curry dishes, and many vegetarian options including the daily soups typically made from a veg base. Many theme nights through the week including open jam, trivia, dinner and movie, etc and rotating seasonal brews on tap. Artisan friendly and exposed stone walls show the vintage of the building. Ok sure it's dark and smells like a tavern but hey It's my local and the food is great, the beer is craft, the crowd is friendly. read more
