The best Stratford-upon-Avon outdoor dining experiences are not always easy to find: tucked away behind a hotel, occupying a quiet corner by the riverbank, nestled among the historic rooftops of William Shakespeare’s hometown.
With Stratfordblog at your fingertips, however, that sun-drenched restaurant table is closer than you think.
One of the things I missed most during the pandemic was visiting the amazing places for breakfast in Stratford-upon-Avon. There’s something special about the whirr of coffee grinders, the tapping of laptop keys, and the clink of cutlery on a demolished Full English breakfast plate that satisfies my foodie soul.
The Encore in Stratford-upon-Avon has had a makeover and Stratfordblog writer Jeanette Parkin was given a special preview. So what’s new at one of Stratford’s oldest inns?
If you’re nuts for scones, potty for clotted cream and just plain crackers for sandwiches, you’ll be delighted to know that it’s Afternoon Tea Week!
This annual celebration of Afternoon Tea – that perfect collection of sandwiches, scones, cakes and tea (perhaps with a side of bubbly) – runs from August 14 to August 20 2018.
And there are some delicious Afternoon Tea Week offers in Stratford-upon-Avon this year.
I don’t like beer. But I do like good food, great views and new experiences. And I rather like my husband, who LOVES craft beer. So here we are, attending the Purity beer evening at the RSC, riding the lift to the third-floor Rooftop Restaurant for a flight of beer and a whopping five courses of expertly matched food.
Union Jacks and fascinators at the ready, because Stratfordblog has a list of places you can watch the Royal Wedding in Stratford-upon-Avon on Saturday May 19.
Afternoon Tea in Stratford-upon-Avon is outranked in Englishness only by the Queen eating fish and chips in a telephone box. Afternoon Tea at the RSC therefore, with views of the Avon and its gliding swans, takes another step towards peak Englishness.
So what can you expect when you take Afternoon Tea at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon?
