The Phoenix

Fantastic nachos and nice to see Verdant on tap. Dogs are welcome here, as you can see! The staff were doting on Jeff from the get go, ready with treats, water and a whole lot of fuss! The interior needs a bit of TLC though. The furniture is a bit tired with drink stains etc on chairs and cushions. It was also a relatively cold day and I felt cold sitting inside. I think the place needs a bit of touching up and then I'd happily give 5 stars.

Popped in here for a few drinks after dinner on Sunday. There are multiple places to sit. Upstairs has covered and uncovered areas. After getting a bit cold, we went downstairs (there are heaters, but I couldn't figure it out lol). I couldn't fault the service and the variety of drinks were good enough for myself and my company. In one of my photos, you'll see the list of gin options. I got chatting to Tommy, who told me that they have quiz nights on Mondays and a Tikki Cocktail Bar on Thursdays. If I'm every in Stratford-upon-Avon again, I would definitely visit. Wouldn't mind giving the food a try.

Went along here to have a look after seeing venue pop up on social media stating under new management. Although quiet, it was 4pm, Lyndon, the gaffer was very welcoming. Ordered drinks and food at the bar then headed to the roof top seating area. This was a delight. Lyndon brought our food, three from the small plates menu, chicken, prawns and hallomi fries, all very nice. Had a chat with Lyndon about his plans to improve venue more. We were very impressed by him and will definitely going back with friends and family.
