Reviews
Have you heard about our new drinks menu? With old favourites alongside exciting new twists, there’s a lot to love. Choose Friday night’s sip. 🍸
Our autumn menu’s just arrived, why not try one of our many fabulous new dishes? 🍴
One of our favourites has to be the Mezze Platter with (amongst other delicious things) beetroot hummus, cool coconut tzatziki and - of course - lots of flatbread for dipping!
We were in Stratford for two nights. Ate at the Thai Boat house on Wednesday and chose The Encore on Thursday. We were a little concerned about the proximity of the MOP fair and there were bouncers on the door!
We need not be worried. We were greeted by the staff and put at ease immediately. The good was excellent and the service equally. We were not rushed and were given plenty of time ti enjoy our visit. We shall definatley return
We had arrived into Stratford on our canal boat, late and tired. We took our dog for a walk to find something to eat and drink and the nearest place was the encore. What a great, warm welcome. Drinks - tick. Dog allowed - tick. Still doing food - at 9 o’clock- tick. We order a pizza to share and some fries. Everything - including the service - totally hit the spot and with great surroundings and furnishings to boot. Totally recommended.
Lovely pub beer cold and food was delicious would definitely visit again when in Stratford 👍🏻👍🏻
Just got back from an amazing 3 course meal, everything was absolutly perfect, service and the meals even squeezed in pudding because we couldnt resist.
Thank you so much!
I really enjoy eating at this venue .The food always tastes wonderful.I had the vegetarian risotto which was on the specials menu .There was an option of adding chicken or salmon but I had it on its own .It was very tasty and the perfect portion size.I had the sharer platter for desert and that was really nice except for the cookie which was a bit hard .My daughter had the bomb dessert which implodes when you put the hot sauce on .Great service .A big thumbs up �
Great staff. Good beer choice for a "darn sarth" pub. Very friendly place and one we always head for when on Stratford.
Great live music on Friday night, AnswerBack were fabulous! Great atmosphere. Dog-friendly a big plus.
Excellent food and service from friendly staff. We often stop here. Highly recommend.
We were in Stratford for a few days and visited the pub twice. The food was good and reasonably priced. We didn't see the prossecco deal until after we had ordered but the wine was good! We would have stayed longer but wasn't enjoying the live music, which was a shame as we had been looking forward to it! Once we had ordered and had our meals we found it difficult to find staff to deal with - the waitress seemed to be all over the pub. We liked the pub as there was a good vibe and other customers! Something other pubs lacked. I would recommend The Encore - a great location and good outside space
The Encore has a prime position opposite the RSC and the river. It has a good, friendly atmosphere for visitors to the town and locals. Dogs are welcome. Although we haven’t eaten here we think it’s a great place to have a drink.
Love The Encore, been going for many years on days out to Stratford and have never been disappointed. Sea bass always cooked beautifully and service leisurely with very pleasant, efficient, friendly staff. Ambience welcoming and comfortable. Will be back soon.
Enjoyed the food and the service was excellent
Yeah the meal was okay, service was lovely and it was nice and clean. My granddaughter had cooked dinner but they put horseradish on her plate it nearly blew her head off. The staff were quick to change it. The meal was okay but wasn't exciting.
Staff friendly
Nice place...very expensive £9.50 for a glass of Sauvignon...dont mind paying a bit extra but not being ripped off !!
Had the three roast platter, it was not nearly as good as the beef roast I had the day before at the Dirty Duck. However the atmosphere and waitress were very nice and there is a second floor dinning room that over looks the park infront of the RSC. Toilets are very clean but are located on the second floor so if you are older and don't do stairs this could be a problem.
Great interior, good Staff, good service, food was a bit of a let down unfortunately 🙁 the Staff were very helpful and did all they could to rectify the situation. Such a shame have eaten here before and the food was great
I waited 30 minutes for dessert, one of the desserts was ok but that Apple crumble has been burned....i don't want to come back...:(
Called in for breakfast and will not be going again. Asked for eggs and salmon with an extra egg no bread. Got charged for the extra egg but it wasn't there but got the toast we didn't want and a slice of salmon. Another suprise to have tea without the tea bag which they remove? Neatly twenty pounds.
Visited yesterday as a tourist on our first arriving in beautiful Stratford upon Avon
Thirsty and hungry .
Decided to have a cold beer and sit outside to take in some sun and lovely scenery before ordering lunch......
Ask the girl at bar
Where were the ladies and she just moved her head and said over there
I had to ask where exactly was over there and then she pointed to the left how rude was she.. would have taken no time to explain properly
First impressions awful didn't at all feel welcome
Finished our drinks quickly �
We left and went and had a wonderful lunch at the Riverside a bit out but worth it ....the warm and professional greeting from staff the lovely setting and scrumptious food �
