Fryfogel Tavern & Arboretum

Fryfogel Tavern is a handsome historic site originally built in the early 1800s. The building was constructed by a Swiss immigrant, Sebastian Fryfogel, and was named after him. The location has been kept by amazing staff and volunteers and is continuously being re-established. Paths are created, trees are planted, and parlours are painted. The property is under development to ensure that future generations can enjoy this beginning bit of Canadian history.

The tavern welcomes guests to come and traverse the rich stories this place has to offer. Many tours are held, some special tours, like the Ghost Tours, near Halloween. Register to secure a spot for special events, as the Fryfogel Tavern gets booked fairly quickly during those seasons.

Though the location is far from fully restored, you are welcome to enjoy this architectural gem with its grand bones and fascinating artwork still hanging on its walls. If you happen to drop by, the Tavern might not be open, but the gardens and arboretum are ready to be explored. Investigate the plagues packed with tales of old and records of the property.

Before leaving, consider donating to help the restoration of this historical location.

Shakespeare Brewing Company

You are guaranteed a sip of the authentic Ontario taste at the Shakespeare Brewing Company. Using only Ontario-grown ingredients, this brewing company is trying to redefine what local craft beer means.

The shop supports other small local businesses by using Ontario hops and Ontario barley. What used to be an old-school bus garage is now a quaint brewery with a Shakespearian twist! All the beers are named and designed for this historical era, with drinks like The Fryfogel Fox, The Classy Cow, and The Bumbling Bear. For those unable to make the drive, the brewing company can deliver the beer to you. Keep up with their social media to ensure you don’t miss any special events, like cruise night, where you can show off or check out some vintage cars. The shop is known to host food trucks in their parking lot, so take a bite of a mouthwatering beavertail with your rich Shakespearian beer.

Visit them on Taco night or for a Smoke-N-Grill lunch. Check out their website for their ‘swag shoppe.’ Saturdays, you can find them at the Stratford Farmers Market between the early hours of 7:00 and 12:00.

Shakespeare Pies

A family-run pie shop, Shakespeare Pies, started off the backs of a young couple in a garage sale. The business is now run by their daughter, Bethany, and her family. Delight in their hand-formed crusts made entirely from scratch. Bethany’s mother drew from her Mennonite heritage of fine foods and combined it with her love of baking to create an exceptional pie experience. Shakespeare Pies keeps a staff of experienced bakers to ensure the bakery is stocked with fresh fruit pies, meat pies, tarts, bread, and other enticing delicacies.

With over 30 different pie flavours, the shop has something you’ll love. Fruit pies range from the traditional Cherry pie to their divine Elderberry pie. However, their meat-loving customers fill themselves with Beef Pies, Tortiere Pies, Pizza Pies, and Steak & Mushroom Pies. They provide tarts like the Coconut Raspberry tart, Maple Walnut tart, and Raisin Butter tart for smaller appetites. Do you hate cooking but need to eat? Order the frozen meals at Shakespeare Pies, and choose from Lasagna, Turkey Casseroles, or Chicken and Rice. Easy to prepare meals that do not compromise the great taste of homemade food.

Praise about this store could not do it justice; the team working here is entirely committed to providing consistent, high-quality food products for their customers.

Thirty-two acres of land for hiking, fishing, canoeing, and picnicking are available. This small Conservation Area features a dam and pond, a pavilion and day-use area, and a short woodland trail just north of the Village of Shakespeare.

With a broad grassy lawn near the two parking lots, the site is perfect for an outdoor gathering and volleyball game. Go for a walk around the pond, enjoy the smell of the fresh outdoors, and serve iced tea to your significant other at this charming park. Use the AllTrails app to record your walk, making sure you add it to your collection! This location is also popular for bird watching, checking out the wildlife, and exploring the variety of wildflowers. At the pond, you should look for butterflies, dragonflies, turtles, frogs, and families of ducks and geese.

This area is a fine place to catch fish, usually just small sunfish with the rarer Catfish and Bass. Absolutely stunning in the Fall months!
