The Straw Kitchen — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

Without question, our best dining experience in 50 days of travel in the UK. Excellent coffee and truly excellent food, combined with a superb atmosphere and comedic service. Lots of back-chat, and generally happy vibes. Cluttered-but-clean dining tables scattered around wherever they fit, noisy customers and the staff buzzing around, all add to the amazing atmosphere.
