Four centuries after the Roanoke Colony went missing, Roanoke Island's first authentic British tavern was established in 2022 to honor the English history of Roanoke Island by serving the traditional dishes of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales along with Outer Banks favorites made with fresh local seafood.

At Lost Colony Tavern, we're bringing the flavors of the Old World to the Outer Banks with British-style beers, traditional British Isles dishes, and a Signature Cocktails program centered around Irish Whiskeys, Scotch Whiskeys, and London Dry Gins.

In addition to our British dishes, we also offer a selection of dishes featuring fresh local seafood exclusively sourced from Roanoke Island waters: Pamlico Sound Blue Crab picked and cleaned in neighboring Hyde County along with Greentail Shrimp and a rotating daily selection of indigenous fish from the Port of Wanchese on the south side of Roanoke Island.
