Re-opened at the weekend. Courage Best, Young's London Gold, Bombardier and Wells Eagle IPA available.

Currently closed as it is being turned into one of Urban & Country Leisure's Lazy Cows as found in Warwick. Expected to re-open next month and no doubt will be a restaurant like its namesake. The live music venue upstairs will be missed.

If you want a quiet drink this is not the place for you. Went in and within five minutes a band was practising upstairs and a conversation was impossible to conduct. Pricey as well. Won't be back in a hurry!

Large purpose built pub with a huge riverside patio. There�s a venue upstairs with some top rock names from the 70�s appearing. Steve Gibbons Band, Budgie and Dr Feelgood to name but 3 appearing soon. Mind you I wouldn�t have paid �17 to see Steve Gibbons in his heyday never mind now. They only have one handpump which was serving Bombardier when we were there and it was �3 a pint which is very pricey even for a tourist trap like Stratford, it was kept OK though. It was late October and it was still warm enough to sit outside on the patio. We shared a mixed platter involving samosa�s, chicken bites, spring rolls, wedges etc which wasn�t bad at all. The main bar area has a pool table and several fruit/quiz machines, flag floors and some comfy sofas. It�s not great but it�s much better than the pathetic staff at the Pen & Parchment would have you believe.

Was a great place till it stopped brewing beer! Know no better than a wetherspoons! Just twice the price!!!!

Very nice pub, however drinks are expensive and I must agree with the earlier review of having a 'Yates" mentality, too many chavs..

This pub has huge potential unyet they seemed to have gone for the wrong market. Massive inside and out. Great location. Suffers from bad staff and the clientele generally have a "Yates" mentality. Live music can be good though.
