About Field & Main

Field & Main is located in the historic town of Marshall, Virginia just an hour west of Washington, DC, set among horse country and a vibrant community of farmers, artisans, and producers who supply much of our menu.

Housed in a charming 200-year-old building originally built as a tavern, the space was designed for hospitality from the beginning. Today, each member of the Field & Main team honors this history through their own practice of thoughtful, genuine service.

Our mission is simple and intentional: To cultivate connection through hospitality.
