Turkish Stonebakers — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

Working in the Wellesbourne area my friend recommended we try this place it has indeed got a fantastic reputation and I Held High Hopes for the quality of food and service that had been talked about for quite some time now.

On arrival there were a few tables already taken but we were seated quickly by the two man band running the operation orders were taken menus explained in a very friendly and helpful way totally different to your average pizza shop although this being what they kind of offer a Turkish version of a pizza wood fire stone baked fresh to order.

The hype was definitely worth it my friend had the garlic sausage and mushroom which made me very jealous I had a slow cooked beef pizza which was insanely good my only complaint I should have ordered two however this is just because I'm greedy the portion size is just right with nice dips and fresh salads for side orders you can take your own alcohol and the Turkish coffee is a really nice way to finish off although I would warn you.... if you've never had Turkish coffee before don't drink it all the way to the bottom 🤣

All in all with highly recommend great quality of food service and plenty of people coming in for takeaways I can see why these places being here for a while now and hope that it continues to do as...

One more thing I noticed: dining in was more expensive than takeaway, despite no additional offerings like meze being provided.

Overall, if you are planning to dine in, you might want to think again. But if you're planning on takeaway, go for the pide—it's delicious, and you'll enjoy it more without seeing...

Having moved into the area recently & read the reviews for the Turkish Stonebakers, we booked a table here for 7.30pm tonight, we arrived 3min early, walked in & as some tables had reserved signes on them we stood at a central table with menus & waited to be shown to a table. We was seen by the chef & another member of staff, but neither bothered to acknowledge we were there. We stood waiting, feeling more & more uncomfortable, wondering if anyone was even going to come, which they never did. Feeling by this time very uncomfortable we decided to leave & look for somewhere else to eat. Such a shame as it doesn't take anytime at all to just say to a customer " we will be with you in just a minute" Very...
