About Garrick

On 25 High St in Stratford Upon Avon, Garrick is a pub housed in the oldest inn in the town. Table service brings dishes such as the Steak and Ale pie, fish and chips, and the Duck Hash to the table after orders are placed, and a menu iPad lets diners filter dishes for allergens and dietary preferences including gluten free, dairy free, veggie and vegan. Desserts run from a brownie with strawberries and ice cream to a vegan apple and blackberry crumble. A kids menu is available, and staff pour beer samples so customers can compare options like pale ale and bitter before ordering. Seating is limited to a small number of tables, and the pub takes walk-ins rather than reservations.

Customer Review Summary

Diners repeatedly single out the staff for accommodating dietary needs, with one family describing how a server brought a restaurant iPad to filter vegan, veggie and gluten-free options, resulting in a veggie burger, vegan galette and fish and chips all cleared to clean plates. Close behind, specific dishes draw praise: the Duck Hash and Steak and Ale pie, the Beef and Raclette pie, and a chicken and bacon ciabatta, though one reviewer felt that sandwich was thin on filling, just "a handful rocket and pickled red onion." Several also note the staff's patience with children, including one account of servers staying warm and non-judgmental toward unsettled toddlers. The historic building and calm atmosphere come up often even when busy, though one visitor mentions limited seating requiring a quick grab for tables. Recurring closing details include extra chips brought unprompted for a child and staff offering beer samples to help settle on a pale ale.

    “Literally can’t express enough how brilliant the staff were at accommodating us (my father uses a mobility scooter) and how good the pub is. Food was great, plentiful and reasonably priced. The look and feel of the pub is perfectly ‘Stratford Upon Avon’ - it’s a legit old building and yet spacious enough for comfortable drinking and dining inside. Service was impeccable and sincerely friendly. I’d recommend the Beef & Raclette pie or the roast - you won’t be disappointed.”

    “Fantastic. We visited The Garrick Inn this past Monday and couldn't have asked for a better experience. It has a wonderfully inviting atmosphere with all its historic charm. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making the service top-notch from start to finish. A perfect spot to relax.”

    “Myself, partner and two children have recently visited here for a few drinks and food. What can i say? Absolutely outstanding from start to finish! The Garrick Inn exceeded all of our expectations. The food was simply incredible – every dish was beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and presented perfectly. It's easily one of the best meals we've had. The service was second to none. A huge thank you to Atif and Pippa, who looked after us so well. They were warm, friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome throughout our visit. A special mention also goes to the chef, Sean, whose talent truly shines through in every dish. The combination of amazing food, exceptional service, and a fantastic atmosphere made for a perfect dining experience. We left already looking forward to our next visit. We couldn't recommend the Garrick Inn highly enough – a well-deserved five stars!”

    “We had an absolutely delicious and delightful experience in the Garrick in Stratford upon avon last week. Atif and Pippa are an absolute credit to the restaurant and could not do enough for us! We are a veggie/vegan/pescetarian family so dining out can be tricky, but Atif brought us the restaurant iPad so we could filter out what we didn't want to eat and then it showed us all our options. Great for allergy sufferers too, you could filter on gluten free, dairy free etc. Our meals were delicious! I had the veggie burger (it had a fancied name but it escapes me now!), husband has the vegan Galette which was pasty with creamy mushroom filling, kids had fish and chips and Quorn sausages and everyone had clean plates. Atif even brought my son extra chips because he loved them so much. Kids had dessert of brownie and strawberries with ice cream, husband had vegan apple and blackberry crumble, unreal! Service was 10 star nevermind 5! Only negative is it's so far away from home otherwise we would be back much sooner! Great atmosphere and older worlde decor really keeps the places character alive. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience, being so lovely with our children and not treating the veggie/vegans like an inconvenience! Special thanks to Atif for rescuing the disaster if a spilt drink and just being a really lovely chap!”
