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.
