Here's what we experienced: - no one greeting guests - tables with uncleared plates of half eaten food and dirty glasses - disinterested staff - cheap paper menus with stains, curling edges - mediocre food with low quality ingredients - once we were served our food, we didn't interact with our waitress again until we finally had to flag her down to get our check - humid atmosphere with a fish smell Ugh.

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!!

Great location in the center of Cheltenham Town for drinks and excellent food!! I've come in here…read moremany times over the years when visiting, as the location is really convenient and a great meeting spot. The great elegant English bar always impresses me with large shiny taps, proper glassware and lots of beers on tap. The food is always great here with a wide variety of items available. This time around I went with a couple of classics I usually can't find in the States; Scotch Eggs followed by a Steak and Ale Pie!!! The scotch eggs, which have undergone somewhat of a rebirth recently, we're absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly!!!! My pie was good but not great, served with fat chips (fries), peas & carrots, the crust was slightly overdone and on the dry side, although the tasty gravy helped with that. A few great local beers and some valuable time spent with friends and family made this, and most experiences at Copa, 5 Stars!!

Started with grilled foie gras and a fried egg, which was a good combination (the toast was a little chewy so I bypassed it). As a main, I had crispy pork belly and better than I expected. For several days, I was craving crackling and I assumed this would have some. Not only did it, best crackling to meat ratio I have come across, fantastic. Only disappointment was the crispy noodles were non-existent, though the Asian salad was also good. For a dessert had cherry clafoutis (or something like that), which was like a warm cherry cake served in a hot pan. Fantastic.

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.

Lovely, comfortable accommodations and excellent food - only out done by their amazing service!…read more When our late check in turned into a middle-of-the-night arrival, Sandra was more than welcoming at such a late hour. Her kindness didn't stop there however. As we departed to walk the Cotswold Way, I accidentally left my jacket behind. Realizing it miles away, Sandra went above and beyond driving all the way to our next night's accomodations to personally bring it to me. Having since finished our walk to Bath, we can say the Lygon Arms is not to be missed. While Sandra would not accept anything for her trouble, we've given a donation to the National Trust in her honor.
