Lost Colony Tavern / The Nag & DoePosts

Get ready to ROCK OUT with your SHAMROCK OUT! For the entire month of March, Lost Colony Tavern will be celebrating THE FESTIVAL OF SAINT PATRICK with a special menu featuring the food, beer, spirits, music, and culture traditionally enjoyed in Ireland. Forget the green beer and corned beef & cabbage; we’re bringing DUBLIN TO MANTEO for an authentic Irish experience you won’t find anywhere else. The fun begins on Wednesday, March 1st right here in Downtown Manteo! 🍀

Lost Colony Tavern is proud to announce our recent switch from American bacon to authentic British BACK BACON! These delicious “rashers” from Jolly Posh Foods come to us imported directly from Great Britain!

"What is a RASHER of BACK BACON?" 🤔

“Back bacon” is the name given to the most popular type of bacon eaten in the UK and Ireland. A "RASHER" is what you call a single slice of it. Back bacon is traditionally made with pork loin, unlike American bacon which is cut from pork belly (we'd call that “streaky bacon”). And don't mistake this for Canadian bacon either! Canadian bacon is a thicker, circular cut of just the loin and often comes precooked like ham. As you can see, back bacon is the best of both worlds; Delicious lean, meaty loin with a "strap" of belly fat for extra flavour. Drop by and taste the authentic flavours of the British Isles right here in Downtown Manteo!
