please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Closed down again last August. Pub signage now removed and building being marketed for sale at £250K. Planning permission was granted in January this year for change of use to a dwelling. So I don't suppose I will be reviewing this one again....

Has been under new management since November (although many of the former staff remain) and has had a coat of paint and some new tables and chairs. Everards Tiger, Purity's Saddle Black and Gold and Hook Norton Lion were the four ales available today - the latter in excellent condition. Still a good value, down-to-earth pub which was busy this lunchtime.

Delicious rare beef Sunday carvery today at just £6.95 washed down by excellent pints of Wickwar's Coopers' WPA and Everards Elixir. (they had run out of Whale Ales' Ruby Moby). Not many people inside so I hope they are making a living. Quiz nights every Monday and live music on the last Sunday evening of the month.

I enjoyed very good pints of Everards Tiger and Holden's Black Country Bitter today, the former is likely to be a regular ale whereas the latter was one of 3 ever-rotating guest ales (the others today were Old Hooky and Wadworth's Happy Daze). The pub itself is nicely and quirkily decorated with suits of armour on the walls and cannons outside. The food prices looked cheap with main courses seemingly not exceeding £7 but we arrived too late to eat. Not a gastropub like so many others nearby but one with a different bohemian feel...time will tell whether this impression proves to be correct.

Due to re-open on 2nd March as The Armouries Arms.
|
Sold prior to the auction so I wonder what will happen to it now......
|
Will be auctioned by CP Bigwood on 6/9/12. Previously for sale at �220K.
|
CLOSED again.
|
Now open again with new Management (12/8/2009)
Looks like its just been taken over so its hard to know
|
This pub has ceased trading. Went to visit it on 21st February 2009 and it was all shut up with a notice on the door sying that the Dun Cow Pub Limited had ceased having an interest in the propoerty. It seems like another victim of the Credit Crunch.
|
This has changed hands midway through 2006, Leffe Blonde on draught and Liefmans Kriek Cherry Beer in the �fridge was a good start, the ales seem to change quite regularly, I�ve seen Hook Norton, Deuchars and local brewery Purity have all featured.
Food is great value for money, although some odd combinations crop up � I seem to remember seeing a tomato salsa and swede on the same plate!
Service is very smiley and they are open for food on a Sunday afternoon / early evening.

Under new management and completely refurbished to a traditional yet contemporary style, this pub is a jewel and should be visited by anyone in the Stratford area. The welcome is friendly and the food fantastic!! Traditional with a twist! Try the Lamb Meatballs!!!They also have Leffe beer on tap and a wide range of wines from around the world. All in all perfect for a lazy Saturday lunch or mid week treat.

Wonderful atmosphere, food was so good, all home-made aswell! You should try the faggots! Excellent service for a family-run pub!
