This is our new 'go to' place for lunch / early evening meals when staying in Stratford on Avon. Located in the heart of the town and walking distance from all the main areas. Booked a table for Sunday lunchtime and was pleased to see they offered a full a la carte menu in addition to the Sunday lunch options. The food was superb. Highly recommended.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience with a pleasant comfortable environment. Well cooked good quality food. Our waitress Lily was pleasant, helpful and efficient as were all the staff. We were attending a matinee at the RSC after lunch and the meal was an ideal starting point for a pleasant weekend treat. We shall certainly come to the Loxley Restaurant again.

We are repeat customers. Favourite seating is upstairs. Great service. This visit was for Sunday Lunch (which is offered alongside the usual 'a la carte' menu, so lots of choice). I enjoyed the striploin roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. Good wine list by the glass and by the bottle. Can recommend the shiraz, very easy drinking! Treacle tart also amazing. Ambience is always busy and buzzy. Would recommend Loxley's.

Once again a fantastic experience . From the time our party, including our granddaughter, we were so well looked after. The food was outstanding, perfectly cooked and attention to detail , second to none. This is certainly an outstanding restaurant with the most exceptional experience- you must try it

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The food was to die for. Lilly our waitress was amazing. It was our wedding anniversary and the staff wished us happy anniversary as soon as we arrived and there was a card on the table which was a lovely touch. I had the steak medallion it was the best steak I have had since Gallaghers in New York. My husband said it is the best meal he has had

Lovely restaurant. We were in Stratford for the day for a family surprise so a good quality restaurant was ideal. There were 6 of us. It is a smart place, the staff were absolutely fabulous, attentive and helpful. And the food was first class, and nicely priced too. Good value all round. We had nibbles, and a variety of courses, which we all shared and enjoyed. The highlights were the lamb and the pasta dishes, but they were all good. They arrived in good time . We were given time and space to enjoy the meal and we weren't rushed. It was the perfect place to catch up before going onto the Shakespeare Theatre. A great family run business. Thank you for making us so welcome

I find it hard to resist fish and chips when I see it on a menu, so that's what I plumped for here. It was fine, but by comparison to other restaurants in the area, and considering Loxley's is rated 2/143 on TripAdvisor (!?), I expected much better. The chips were undercooked and lukewarm, and what I assume was meant to be mushy peas was again lukewarm and amounted to what I can only describe as pea soup! The fish was the best part, but even that was inferior to what I'm served elsewhere, and much smaller. My wife found her ham hock open sandwich to be tasty enough, but difficult to eat, and when we asked the waiting staff for a steak knife to assist in cutting the bread, there were three attempts of returning with a knife, looking to see if it was the same as what she already had, before finally producing the correct one! That was quite funny, to be fair.

We dined at Loxleys to celebrate my husbands birthday and as usual our dining experience was fantastic. Upon arrival we were greeted with the typical warm welcome, and was seated promptly. We all opted for the Chateaubriand which was absolutely gorgeous. We enjoyed a top notch meal and soaked up the wonderful ambience of the restaurant, spot on for such a special occasion.

From start to finish the meal at Loxley's was simply a lovely experience. A warm welcome, no quibble when one of our party was poorly at the last moment, and our waitress was the smiliest and best we've experienced in year's - she knew the menu inside and out and could recommend wholeheartedly. The prawn tacos appeared in a flash (which would be perfect if you were eating pre theatre - we weren't) and were fresh, delicious and so light. The arancini to follow was delicious and filling and the hispi cabbage a lovely side to accompany. I hadn't wanted dessert since I was quite full but luckily my friend chose the Treacle Tart and I managed to polish that off too since it was so light with divine pastry. When I'm next down from Northumberland I'm booking in again for another warm welcome and delicious food in a convivial setting.

We had booked a table for a meal pre theatre. Unfortunately we were caught in hold ups because of road works and we were 40 minutes late arriving. We rang through to Loxleys while stuck in traffic. They reassured us that they would hold our table. When we arrived we had limited time before our theatre visit, the staff were aware of this and kindly advised on what would be our best choice in the time available. Our meal arrived promptly and was lovely. The service was excellent! They provided a most enjoyable meal in relaxed surroundings following a very stressful journey!

We finished the meal with a shared sticky toffee pudding with a coffee for me and a espresso martini for the Mrs - service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing and it was a pleasure to have dinner here. My only fault if any was the wine was a little expensive but it was great quality and complimented the food and as such was value for money.

The Belllocation-iconShipston RoadBritish

We've not been to The Bell for many years and after such a fabulous evening on Saturday I don't know why! The Bell was the perfect location to meet friends halfway and on arrival we were so impressed with the space and ambience. Katherine looked after us so well - almost second guessing everything we needed and pacing the evening to perfection with drinks and meals arriving at just the right time and water refills without even asking. The menu is changed daily and the choice was first class. For starters the chili beef was delicious with strips of sirloin in a light batter - a huge improvement on a Chinese takeaway when you can't see or taste the beef! There was also the choice of this as a main course with salad which a friend had and it was so plentiful. Sea bass was so well cooked - as was the burger and my fish and chips were just as I like it with a fabulous homemade tartar sauce and mushy peas. Pricewise, The Bell is very reasonable for the service and standard of cuisine. I can highly recommend and we will be back very soon and thank you Katherine for outstanding service.
