About Encore Stratford Upon Avon
On Bridge St in Stratford Upon Avon, Encore Stratford Upon Avon is a pub serving traditional pub classics and real ales. A pub quiz with a small entry fee runs while diners eat, so a meal and a game share the same evening. Dining is split between the ground floor and an upstairs area, and orders are placed by QR code at the table. The kitchen adapts dishes for gluten free diners, and dogs are welcome. The pub sits close to the RSC, which suits dinner before or after a show.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food, naming the roast chicken, a pie one reviewer calls one of the best they have had, fish and chips, and a duo of pork. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly and attentive. One team adapted dishes for a gluten free diner, and another handled a large group with QR code ordering. A few reviewers enjoyed the Wednesday pub quiz over dinner, and two note the pub is dog friendly. Complaints are minor but specific. One reviewer found it pricier than expected, one called the decor on the stairs up to the dining area very shabby, and another found the shredded veg a bit bitter. Reviewers also describe extra gravy and vegetables arriving unprompted at a Sunday roast, and a birthday dish produced for a group on a last minute request.

“We had the best time here this week! We had just got to Stratford Upon Avon for our 2 night stay and wandered into the centre to find a spot for dinner! We stumbled across the encoure and thought it looked lovely so went in to see what it was about! The staff were super attentive and welcomed us in, the place is beautiful! We got super lucky with our timing and were able to join in on the pub quiz whilst we had our dinner and a couple drinks! This was a fantastic start to our trip and we had a brilliant time, I believe it was Rory who was running the quiz and he was so great! Thank you Rory !! The food was incredible and the atmosphere was lovely with all the candles!! highly recommend x”

“Lovely find in Stratford We were staying local and wanted a place for dinner and they were a lovely little find which was dog friendly Lots on the menu too chose from with some healthy options and calories on the online menu for those who want to be mindful of their choices We also managed to go on a Wednesday where they do a quiz for only £2 which was a great little addition to the evening and the guy who did the quiz was funny and added to the quiz making it enjoyable! The food was great, nice quality and tasty too with good portion sizes and good value for money - we spent ~£50 for 2 people for 2 courses and a drink each which isn’t too bad Would highly recommend to anyone passing through for lunch or dinner (a solid pub quiz)”

“The staff here were so helpful when it came to my gluten free intolerence, they were knowledgable and incredibly helpful at adapting dishes for me! On top of that they were all really friendly and welcoming. Food was really tasty and its a nice and chill atmosphere! Would 100% come back again!”

“we were a group of 12 who needed a table on the last Saturday night of summer holiday 2026 and we started looking for options in the evening of Friday, Encore was the only restaurant who could accommodate our reservation without pending it which we were grateful. However, the service exceed our expectations by a lot as servers were really kind and attentive foods were delicious and arrange was very organised and efficient. I especially appreciate the qr code ordering since I am not a fan of shouting out order for 12 persons in the bar. They were even capable to offer a birthday dish to us with last minute request. Very satisfying experience overall!”

“A bit pricier than we initially expected, however one of the best pies I have had in my life time. Nice variety of food and cosy atmosphere. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely experience.”
