About this restaurant

Charming
Good for special occasions
Good for groups

Situated in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, The Vintner is a natural meeting place, be it for a coffee or something a little stronger in the café / bar, a meal in our restaurant or when getting together more formally in our Private Dining Room.

We have a diverse and thoughtful menu, locally-sourced and seasonally adjusted, as well as a comprehensive range of fine wines and beers from all over the world.

'The Vintner' derives its name from the year 1600, when John Smith traded, along with his wife, as a wine merchant (vintner) in this building. It is more than likely that William Shakespeare purchased his wine from here!

Extremely good evening with my wife, daughter and in laws. Was lucky enough to be asked to take them all out by my manager as a thank you from the company that I work at and we picked the Vintner, was wonderful!

Food was really disappointing. Rump steak was tiny with wilted (old) rocket and a few cherry tomatoes, the smallest portion. My fishcakes were overcooked. Usually a good restaurant.

The restaurant was full of character and a fitting venue after seeing 'Hamlet'. The service was professional and friendly and the food excellent. We were a party of three: one vegan, one vegetarian and one eat anything - and we were all delighted with our choices. We also enjoyed a delicious bottle of rose - and a good time was had by all.

The bill was brought to us without asking. Loud music playing sporadically. Service not what it used to be.
