Loxley's is an outstanding restaurant in the heart of Stratford on Avon…read more They specialize in European modern cuisine. Our party of six was easily accommodated in their upstairs dining rooms on a Thursday evening around 8:00pm. We made a reservation on open table earlier in the day. Our server was Meghan who was cheerfully warm, welcoming and quite knowledgeable about the menu. Meghan made excellent menu suggestions. Loxley's also has a gluten free and a dairy free version of their current menu so special orders are simple. We started out with a charcuterie sampler that was full of delectable treats. I enjoyed the mushroom risotto and added some tiger prawns. Others in our party enjoyed the pork belly, duck and cod dishes. All delicious and artfully prepared. Of course Loxley's has a wide assortment of beers, wines and cocktails to enjoy with your dinner. If you are looking for less touristy fine dining in Stratford on Avon you will find it here. Double highly recommend.

What a wonderful stop…read more We were visiting Shakespeare's birthplace, and after enriching our minds we definitely needed a drink. Without hesitation our guide immediately recommended the Old Thatch Tavern. First of all, it is centrally located and easy to find. Once there you're taking by the decor and homely feeling. The staff were amazing. I wasn't drinking hard liquor and they guided me through a variety of Apple ciders that were delightful. They made the entire experience 1000% better. Their advice and knowledge really made the stop one of the best drinking experiences we had in England. Little by little more members of our crew continues showing up and eventually we had a full blown part going. Again, it was a blast! I can't wait to go again, make a stop at the Old Thatch Tavern and relive some of the memories.

Had a lovely visit to Stratford-upon-Avon for my birthday…read more This pub looked lovely from the outside and we headed straight there after our delicious meal in a nearby restaurant. It was 10.25 on Wednesday evening, February 25th, but we were turned away by the young barman, as he said he had already called last orders and wasn't letting anybody else in. Now, my husband and I were very disappointed, as everywhere else in the town had been so welcoming and accommodating. We walked across the road and had a few drinks in another bar, as there are plenty of nice places to choose from, BUT, if I was the owner of this establishment, I would not be best pleased at young bar staff turning my customers away. That is a lot of revenue to lose over the year if this is happening every night, especially with the cost of living at its current high and the daily struggle that pubs face to stay profitable!! Maybe a bit of staff re-training wouldn't go amiss and a reminder of who pays the wages!!

We noticed signs for the Mariner restaurant while we were around the Stratford upon Avon boat area,…read morebut thought it was a little out of the way, however it turned out we had a boat tour booked right next to it so decided to check it out. It's honestly just a 5 minute walk from the main boat area and most definitely worth it! The inside seating area was modern and cosy, they had the candles on the table sitting in a glass container of salt and pepper which I thought was quite original and quirky, they also have an outdoor seating area which overlooks the river Avon and it is really lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly with the veggie options. They had a good range of 'specials' and were very happy to substitute meat for vegetarian options. I ordered the veggie meatball and pasta option, while my friend ordered a rack of ribs with chips. The portion sizes were huge! We were both thinking we should've skipped cake and coffee at tea time lol. Everything was well seasoned and very tasty, my friend got a finger dip bowl with the ribs and a bone plate which I thought was really great customer service. Our drinks were topped up very quickly when asked. The owner is a lovely gentleman he is really involved with each customer. He was serving the food, but also kept going round to check all the customers were ok and if they needed anything. He even counted our drinks out to us in Punjabi when we first got there which was really sweet and unexpected. After our meal we sat outside to finish off our drinks, and they have a fleecy blanket basket! That was such a lovely touch as it had gone quite chilly by the evening, so it was so nice so get all cosy in your blanket while you finished your drink and watched the sun go down over the river Avon... also some of the blankets were bright pink, extra bonus! The bathrooms were super clean! And I mean spotless...so very impressed! Overall a wonderful place to have lunch or dinner or even coffee, and I will most definitely visit again next time I visit Stratford upon Avon.

I think they thought I was just a passing through customer and would not be seen again - how wrong. Overall the food was good and the waiting staff were brilliant. Shame that the manager was less helpful therefore letting the team down. I have made a complaint and will see if they reply. Update: Visited today 24/8.
