A local, dog friendly pub just a five minute walk from Stratford Upon Avon town centre. Serving fresh home made pizzas, burgers and chicken wings. Always made fresh daily! Local ales such as Purity and the award winning Timothy Taylor Landlord. Wines from the local wine merchants C.A Rookes and large gin selection. Big comfy sofas and a quiet snug for reading. We also have a pool table and darts and a spacious pretty beer garden. Live music most weekends. What more could you ask for? :)

This notorious tavern is still frequented by thirsty actors after an evening's performance at the Swan Theater.

This is our favourite pub in Stratford as it is awash with history, culture and atmosphere. Therefore, we booked a table with trepidation as we were concerned that COVID rules might have put paid to all that. However, despite the Perspex screens, hand sanitiser and Test and Trace rules, the pub was its usual lovely self and we breathed a sigh of relief. The staff were delightful and extremely professional, especially Lydia, who was so cheerful and helpful, and we felt completely safe and relaxed. Sitting at the window table with our dogs feeling the autumn sunshine through the glass felt like a real tonic and slice of normality. Thank you, Sam.
