What a beautiful hidden gem. The food was delicious, venue was also stunning. Great atmosphere in the restaurant, lively but not too loud. Wish we had discovered this sooner as such a good go-to restaurant. We had 3 mains, 2 cocktails and a starter and all were very reasonably priced for good portions. Will definitely be returning many times.

A relaxed & welcoming restaurant- helpful & cheerful staff, ready when needed, but not at all intrusive. I had the best bbq steak rib ever 👌& my sisters Sirloin was perfect also, and if we are ever back in Stratford, this is where we'll eat. Thank you all at HS&Co, a dream team & perfect food & ambience.
