The One Elm, Stratford Central, Stratford-Upon-Avon

The One Elm has an L-shaped bar counter with four handpumps along the shorter end that faces the entrance. GK Old Speckled Hen, TT Landlord, and Deuchars were available with the Mad Goose being off. The longer pert of the bar, that supports premium keg, faces high tables that run along the right hand wall. At the rear is a large restaurant area that was lights out. The manager and staff were all very friendly and I’d return for another beer.

Well described by others, below, we found this pub welcoming and friendly. The young staff were professional and helpful, and I managed to avoid tripping over the step change in floor height. Food seemed reasonably priced, and it was a good place to share an evening meal. Ales on were Mad Goose and Jimbo from Purity, and Tim Taylor’s Landlord. I’d be very happy to go back.

Very smart inside with a nice open fire . 4 beers on including 2 from Purity and Church Farm IPA. The IPA was excellent and probably the best pint I had all day.

Much larger than it first appears, with the original pub building extended rearwards and seemingly incorporating other outbuildings further back. Thoroughly modernised inside, with light decor and semi-modern furniture in the various seating / dining areas. Four real ales on handpump: Hooky, Old Speckled Hen, Purity Mad Goose and Church Farm Harry's Heifer (£3.60).
