It was an amazing experience from the moment we stepped in. The welcome was warm and friendly and the setting perfect. The food was delicious and the perfect amount, we had three courses and every one was just right. The waitress was attentive and friendly, the speed of service was spot on. We would highly recommend this restaurant and even though we are only in Stratford upon Avon for a few nights we may return.

Great atmosphere, warm, cozy and quiet enough to hold conversation. Wide range of foods on the menu and a choice of specials. Good drink selection. Some of the portion sizes were slightly small but that is my only criticism. What stood out was the excellent service. Attentive and friendly staff who could not do enough. Really outstanding.

Kate looked after us really well, a pre-theatre booking meant that they provided wonderful food in plenty of time to get to our seats. We shared a selection of breads, foccaccia and aranchini. The wine (sauvignon blanc Petal&Stem) was lovely and the chicken Milanese burger and tiramisu were delicious. Thank you!
