The Garrick Inn, Stratford Central, Stratford-Upon-Avon

A fantastic looking terraced white and timber Greene King pub and eatery, with double facing gable. The small entrance is in fact a corridor that leads you past the bar room on the right to the rear of the pub which is a lounge and dining area. Both are served by a central serving bar.. The bar had a TV, with the golf on, but i didn't go in, but it seemed busy enough. The lounge area is nearer the serving bar, with the dining further up the pub. The decor is dominated by the support and ceiling beams, that give the place such a classic look and, yes, it does claim to be startford's oldest. The walls are subtle green and white, with wood panel and some white painted wood panel... the whole pub has charm. There are some old photographs and of course Shakey pictures on the walls and a bust or two as ephemera. The service has been friendly on both the occasions i have visited and the clientele is mainly, from what i can tell, tourists. The music is mixed and at a decent level. I didn't eat so can't comment on the food. Beer; tap stuff with GK IPA, Abbott, St Edmunds and a decent Old Spekky Hen on handpull A really nice pub and definately worth a visit, it is just a shame, on a personal note, that they are Greene King, as i am not much of a fan of their beers - if you like GK, or are less fussy than me, i am sure you will like it very much.

Absolutely fabulous food, good priced, and good beer. The service is impecable, lovely family enviroment,my fiance and i eat there as often as possible. Give it a try it's lovely
