The Shakespeare Inn — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

Food is really nice. Unfortunately that's were the good points end. Local pub run by a co op of locals who bought it according to my holiday guide. Went for a night with my family . Sat ourselves down no clear instructions on if we would be seated or seat ourselves a local told us in the end in a sarcastic manner.

Lady next to me another local went to the bar and kept looking to make sure I wouldn't take her laptop. In the end I announced loudly I wasn't a thief and I would prefer not to be stared at everytime she went to the bar. She promptly left.

Locals are not that friendly or welcoming to outsiders . You will be made to feel like an outsider.

Lastly there was no butter for my bread or olives on my bread and olive tray. No explanation of why or offer of a reduction in price. Overall not a pleasant night at all couldn't wait to get back to our holiday cottage and make myself a dessert.

If your a non local stay away you...

We visited this pub this weekend as it was close to where we were staying. Unfortunately no food available but the manager said they were working on this and advised us of where we could eat.

The staff were great, the manager very helpful and we will be going back on our next...
