Immerse yourself in Stratford's historic charms at this lovely restaurant in a four-century-old timber building. Rare-breed steaks and seafood dishes such as dressed crab with truffled mayo are specialities. Music students from Shakespeare's old grammar school across the way tinkle the piano ivories at 5.30pm Monday to Saturday, though it can be hard to hear over the bar noise.
Also here are 12 boutique guest rooms.
