The Old Thatch Tavern, Stratford Central, Stratford-Upon-Avon

A pleasant old high street pub, much as described below, which caters for most people including a very, very loud Antipodean lady who regaled the entire population with tales of her motorcycle. The two bar areas are open plan, but it still manages to feel cosy. Food is basic and reasonably priced. Ales on were Hophead Dark Star, faux-HSB and London Pride, all fairly drinkable. Service was slow, so I wouldn’t come here if in a hurry, but it’s fine for a few pints and a relaxing meal, provided you don’t mind the noise. Worth including on a crawl.
