About The Straw Kitchen

The Straw Kitchen is a straw bale restaurant in the grounds of Whichford Pottery in Warwickshire, next to the pottery itself. The menu is largely vegetarian and vegan with some limited meat options, and the kitchen serves brunch and lunch. Many ingredients are grown onsite, and local businesses are used where possible. The menu also carries seasonal specials. Dogs are welcome, and a wait for food is usual at peak times. A piano sits inside, and live acoustic music is part of the setting. Customers use compost toilets.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the food at The Straw Kitchen, much of it grown onsite, with the oyster mushroom brunch, sausage vegetable stew, okonomiyaki, a green lentil soup and a beetroot feta dish all named. Close behind is the coffee, called perfect and good, while peanut butter cookies and cake also get praise. Diners describe friendly, welcoming staff, generous portions and a largely vegetarian and vegan menu with limited meat options. The setting in the grounds of a pottery draws mentions of outdoor seating, a piano inside, live acoustic music, and families and dogs on sunny days. The recurring caveat is crowding: a few say it gets very busy at weekends and peak times, with a bit of a wait for food, though one found a table easily on a Saturday lunchtime. One reviewer suggests arriving early at busy times. Reviewers also mention being welcomed to play the piano and settling onto a wooden bench among the flowers after a meal.

  • Emily Roper
    “So good! They served okonomiyaki when we were there and it was incredible. Easy enough to find a table despite it being Saturday lunch time. Really fresh food, good soft drinks too.”
  • Paul Margrie
    “Great for coffee and brunch. Seating under cover and outside, all part of Whichford Pottery. Open Wednesday to Saturday.”
  • Noreen McNamara
    “Absolutely lovely place, only had a pot of earl grey tea and cake, the cake was yummy. Everyone friendly, and the Whichford pottery place next to the Cafe was a good find also. 😊”
  • Daniel Clarke
    “Nice location with the restaurant in the grounds of a pottery. Very good food with a largely vegetarian/vegan menu but some limited meat options. Gets very busy on a weekend so a bit of a wait for food but worth it”
  • ira werner
    “Best restaurant in the Cotswold. Most innovative menu choices, food bursting with flavor. The chef's heart is in every bite. Had oyster mushroom brunch and sausage vegetable stew. Both tremendous.”
