"My wife, 16 year old son and I popped in here for a drink on a Saturday evening. It was not very busy but still took about 10 minutes to get served at the bar. The first drinks were ok but when I got the next round I noticed it was considerably more than the previous one for a very similar round.It took five minutes to get acknowledged by the bar staff, including the girl who had just served me. Thankfully, I had paid by card and kept my receipt, although it didn 't show the actual drinks ordered. The manager offered to take it upstairs to the office to check it out by said there was no need as all I needed to know was the price of the drinks I had been charged for.Eventually it transpired that I had been charged £2.90 for a small glass of lemonade for my son, almost as much as I had been charged for a pint of beer. I told the manager that I considered that to be a rip off but she explained that the glass could be refilled free of charge. This wasn 't made clear to my wife who had bought the first round. The manager apologised but said I had been charged correctly. I was still fuming and gave her every opportunity to rectify the situation but she stuck rigidly to the rule book. When I told here that it was her choice but to expect to see the review on social media, she said that was unfair as I had been correctly charged.I object to this practice as it would appear to be ripping off families but worse still, it is encouraging children to drink vast quantities of sweet sugary drinks with long term health implications.Looking at the reviews on here, it appears that I am not the only one who thinks this place is awful. I cannot recall having visited an establishment that has more Terrible reviews than any other category."

"We reserved our table on a Friday night at 8pm. We expected the restaurant to be busy but there were only two other diners, which is strange as this is a top tourist attraction and considered by many as the jewel in the crown of Warwickshire. The restaurant is boutique style and compact and bijou. The leather dining chairs are extremely comfy and speaking as someone with arthritis these things matter! This is a beautiful building and worthy of a tourist photo or two! Quirky and wonky like you would expect from a typical timber framed Tudor building and so quintessentially olde world English. The restaurant was clean and tidy and the staff very friendly and attentive thank you Silviu and team For giving us great service, good food and making this a night to remember! The food has a typical Italian/American flare: pizza, pasta, lasagne. Typical chain restaurant prices. Nothing extraordinary, but it doesn’t pretend to be! This is not fine dining, or pretentious nosh. This is Good food in a great place and perfect for families and friends to gather for celebrations or cosy intimate dinners. So where are the people? Frightened by Coronavirus? Checking out the many other eateries in Stratford? Or just unaware that this is a charming place to dine; full of character and history with a great ambience and great grub! Who knows.... but I am happy to keep this my little secret My only negative would be to remove the pictures if MPW from the walls and replace with something chic contemporary!"
