The Broom Tavern in Stratford-on-Avon

One ☝️ of the best roasts I’ve ever had in the cot worlds, no expectations but wow was blown away by the quality and after seeing all the reviews I can see why definitely will be back any chance we get. These are ppl who love food as much as us foodies

Great selection of gluten free items on the menu. Great weekly themed special menus. Homemade breads The staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome. Excellent. Well worth a visit.

Excellent Thai fish curry good portion and quality.

Stopped here with friends while out for a walk. I can't comment on the food because we didn't eat here, but the range of beers and ales was decent. Nice looking pub with plenty of indoor and outdoor space.

Great Place and a new themed menu every week

Lovely restaurant, spotlessly clean, great food and friendly efficient staff. Its a favourite place for us.

Excellent dinner tonight. Good food cooked from scratch. Gluten free options which were amazing. Can thoroughly recommend. Good prices too.

Gluten free haven and so much choice Was refreshing to have homemade food and a great selection felt like normality for me was Resumed !!! Great service and everything was explained and we made to feel very welcome will be back

First visit on the recommendation of my son. They cater for all intolerances, allergies etc. They make a huge effort to get it right. The staff were extremely helpful and considerate. Thank you

A big shout out to my special place, The Broom Tavern, I've been frequenting it for years and always have exceptional food and a lovely welcome in a superb setting , my recent milestone birthday could only be held there , and they all certainly rose to the occasion, it was made extra special especial by Kirsty and Nicky, a night to remember! Ali x

Absolutely perfect family birthday celebrations here last weekend. Well done Kirsty and team . More detail on tripadvisor but I can't fault you.

Had a lovely Christmas eve family celebration meal at the Broom Tavern. Staff were great as usual, welcoming, friendly and took great care of us. Food was fantastic, something for everyone, 89 to 29, picky to anything goes, everyone was happy. We only found the Tavern last year but now make it our go to place.

Lovely friendly staff and food. Went for the Sunday lunch and could not fault. Well deserved 5 star would highly recomend. Definately going back

The food here is excellent. The owners rescued this beautiful old building from a derelict wreck. So I am always happy to spend my time and a bit of money here. The chefs always have interesting themes running based on international cuisines.

Siamo stati qui alcune volte, è sempre molto soddisfacente. Per il primo giorno dell'anno abbiamo mangiato con un menù speciale delle feste, ottime le zuppe e uno splendido piatto freddo misto! Le porzioni sono abbondanti! Le tagliatelle che ha preso mio marito erano troppo cotte, peccato! Sempre gentilissimo il personale!

Christmas lunch food was disgusting, couldn’t eat any of it. Poor drinks service, waited over 40mins to order drinks, starters were inedible, beef of main course still had a pulse it was that raw, veg far too hard, couldn’t cut it, covered in sage. Cheese board was very disappointing, couldn’t even bite the crackers what ever they were made of. Mince pies we literally couldn’t cut or bite. The coffee was decent, the service was not up too much. Very disappointing. 100% avoid.

The . 5 star say it all food location staff. Atmosphere. Just fantastic love coming here ❤️

We decided on the Broom Tavern for our annual family Christmas lunch and was not disappointed. The quality of the food was excellent and the service spot on especially catering for 14 people. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere was very festive. I will be certainly going back to the Tavern for another amazing meal.

1st meal here today treated for my birthday, absolutely outstanding food and that’s an understatement, I had the fish and it was so light and fluffy it could be cut with a straw, my girlfriend had the chicken and it was very soft and juicy, everything was outstanding, well worth a visit you won’t be disappointed, service amazing from Nicky

Late evening meal for two.The venue was quite busy with a nice comfortable atmosphere. Reminiscent olde world charm of a coaching inn was evident.Service from the kitchen was effective & efficient. Very high quality meals with sensible & stylish.The Chicken Milanese was a treat with subtle flavours that were both a surprise discovery & a pleasure to experience. Local produce is an effective asset for this kitchen. The menus is extensive so it will be difficult to be disappointed . It is also evident the waiting staff take pride in that they are attentive, knowledgeable around the menus & make patrons very welcome & feel at ease. No hesitation on my part for a future repeat visit.

A Sunday evening, not usually the best time for a meal out. But The Tavern at Broom bucked that generalisation. We both had the Sunday roast, and although I'm not a fan of meat based dishes even I had to admit that it was amazing... the beef was done to perfection and the blend of several types of vegetables enhanced it beautifully. Happy as we were with the main course, we decided to check out the dessert menu and were delighted to find that they served an eclectic selection of HOME MADE ice creams and sorbets. Including our favourite liquorice (with lemon meringue) flavour. An unlikely combination, possibly, but it worked. And all of this served by Lauren (friendly, informative, efficient) who made time to chat. At £50 for two, including drinks, dessert and a tip it was very reasonable value too.

This may have been an off day, but the awards, pictures and reviews had us expecting great things. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Menu reads well and lots of choice even for a Sunday lunch like we had today. Sadly the food was mediocre, not very warm, and quite bland. Maybe it was the 4pm time and being in between main service times, but the food felt like it had been sitting for some time. On a plus side the meat (I had the trio) was good, the potatoes and vegetables not so good. Great atmosphere in the main bar and looked to be a a well liked cosy village pub for a drink or two.

Enjoyed dining experience. Restaurant busy for mid week. Nice menu selection liked the idea of something different

Four of us had Sunday lunch here. Service was friendly and efficient. Food was reasonably priced and good portions. The roasts were lovely but our only negative would be the Yorkshire puddings. They were huge but tasteless. But overall a good experience.

Nice service, nice food, tho the beef Wellington is more of a stewing steak than a fillet (which it states to be fair) it was presented well and had nice flavours. Would eat here again. Fish & chips is highly recommended.

The food is at a very good standard, busy place, and the staff are all friendly.

The food was excellent we went with our nextdoor nabours mr and mrs Bowden who are there a lot food was delicious

We have just had a fantastic 2 course dinner ,baked camabert,then a beef wellington ,and a lasagne ,the beef melted in my mouth,pastry was thin as it should be with a beautiful taste ,the starter was absolutely gorgeous,firstly it was a large cheese filled with baked garlic,breads and side salad ,we were so full we couldn't contemplate a sweet . That was the meal ,as for the staff,I don't think we have ever been to a pub with such lovely,friendly accommodating staff,behind the bar and waiting on tables ,wish we lived closer ,can't recommend this pub enough ***** stars

We dropped in early (5.30 pm) on a Monday evening without a reservation and were warmly received. The pub was quite busy with friendly locals having an early evening drink and there was a pleasant atmosphere. Food quality, service and beer were all very good, will definitely visit again if we are in the area - recommended!

Quick service, tasty food and friendly staff

The food including gf options was up to its usual excellent standard. Service was also good. Unfortunately we were next to a table of six loud mouthed drunk people who were so loud that it destroyed the ambiance of the dinner for all other diners. Its all very well gaffawing and shouting at your own jokes while quaffing far too much beer but they ruined an otherwise lovely evening. Couldn't even hear the conversation at our own table.

Highly recommended Sunday roast! First timers here and we came on recommendation. It's obvious why! The pub was packed out and still they kept on coming. That did not stop service being a top priority. We didn't book, cos that's just how we roll, and despite the pub being packed out we asked if we could eat in the covered outside area, which was accommodated without issue. Despite apologies for the wait from the attentive, polite and well trained staff I wouldn't consider it a wait at all. The outside area was spaciously separated and would be cool enough in summer and despite a crazy downpour was plenty warm enough for us, with patio heaters available around the area should they be required. We will definitely be returning to sample some weekday lunchtime offerings and maybe a cheeky date night treat. Beautiful historic pub, just as we like them.

Excellent evening really enjoyed The Big Khuna - always consistently good at The Tavern !

The area around the bar still feels like a nice pub.

Had Sunday lunch here. Extremely good, excellent service and the largest Yorkshire puddings I've ever seen!

Good welcome,unusual to see food in a basket,very 70s 80s,but have to say it was excellent. Dog was made very welcome,the building is lovely, old@worldy interior, lots of nooks @ crannies.would love to return.

Lovely place! Great food and staff. Brought me wrong, dearer wine, but charged me for the cheaper wine I had ordered. Fab yorkies.

Excellent food served well and hot. Had starters which though delicious we didn't really need. We had char sui pork, pate & Feta tart. All delicious. The Sunday lunches were amazing. Giant Yorkies, delicious cauliflower cheese & excellent roast beef. I couldn't finish it! Next time I won't have the starter! We will be back!

An excellent venue for a cycling club lunch for around 20 people. The food and service is excellent and I can thoroughly recommend it. There is an extensive lunch time menu with a wide choice of sandwiches breads and filling.

This was out first visit to The Tavern after a friend recommended it. We were not disappointed !! Great staff who were just there when we needed more drinks etc. The crispy squid was fabulous,so many different flavours on the plate made it a great dish. The Pad Thai was also delicious with fab flavours again. I think whatever we would have chosen it would have been great,which is down to a very good,capable chef, well done !!! We will definitely be back soon !!!!

We visited for a light lunch with friends. There was a nice range of sandwiches, both fillings and a fabulous choice of breads. Sadly, the salad garnish was soggy: the dressing had been on the leaves for too long There were good lunch meal deals available - but that was more substantial than we were looking for Service was entirely adequate but staff did seem rather harassed: they were quite busy. There is lots of seating available, including outside

Dropped in here by off chance and what a find ! Very welcoming staff. Service out standing as was the food. Just wish this was my local. Cannot fault in anyway. Will definitely go back when in the area again

Would have given 5 stars but the southern fried chicken was a real let down, to make it look bigger, they coated in so many breadcrumbs (which were burnt) the chicken was awful, a small thigh which was really fatty. I did mention how awful it was and they took it off the bill for me. Apart from that, the rest of it was lovely! It hasn't put me off going, I just wouldn't order that again.

Some of the best food we've had anywhere and priced very reasonably.

Great food & staff, lovely atmosphere

Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. A warm welcome is always a good start to the evening. We were seated quickly and drinks order taken almost immediately. The food was amazing and the best presentation I have seen in some time. Every dish we had had a huge amount of attention to detail. The amount of care and attention to the puddings was second to none with a huge choice of ice creams. Definitely a massive step up from a previous visit a while ago. Highly recommended !!

Went for a meal with my partner to celebrate my birthday and our engagement. The staff at the tavern went above and beyond and added a few touches to make our experience perfect. The food was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone. We will be back. Thank you

Delicious Sunday roast, very good quality meat and tasty veg. You looked after our dietary requirements perfectly thank you!

This place I can say is the best in Warwickshire! The food is delicious and consistently good. We come here regularly and have eaten at different times. Breakfast/lunch/dinner all fab. Loads of choice and in the week different themes, also fantastic. We won’t go anywhere else for a Sunday roast, always good!! And The Ice-cream is the best we have had in a long time!! So tasty. Love this place, don’t change the chef!!!!

Grew up in the Alcester area and know many of the pubs well but a return to the Tavern was pretty disappointing. Menu is massively uninspiring (pizza, burger, F&C are the main fare) and going off-piste for the fish pie was also pretty bland and actually quite pricey (it was POA on the menu). Dessert choices were also less than exciting. The kids were the only takers and did not even manage to finish the summer fruit waffle which had been drowned in chocolate sauce. Irish Coffees were excellent and service was just fine Nothing was wrong as such but I think there is so much better elsewhere in the area. Really hope they will rethink the menu variety.

Lovely local pub with an adventurous menu and great choice of drinks.This week was Greek Specials- breads with oil & vinegar + tspenade + herb buttet = spot on, lamb shoulder & feta glaze = nostimos, honey & lemon chicken= bit disappointing, raspberry pannacotta= poly kalos. The chocolate plate was declared a winner by my OH. Good coffee with home made shortbread topped it off in style. Just a pity the chicken did not meet the same high standard. 4/5 overall

Amazing breakfast! One of the best in the area by far. Great start to a Saturday having a full English and the shortbread with the latte was first class

Try as i may I realy want to like this pub ?? But it is horrible inconsistent and both the new so called locals and key members of staff are obnoxious and rude. There are exceptions some staff are outstanding Ollie. But on the whole this place can not make its mind up if its a pub or a restaurant ???? Locals scramble to the bar stools with no regard for anyone except the. Self. Not bothering to see there us anyone that may be more in need of a bar stool ( MS and other disabilitys ) If you have fun you are scorned upon for laughing or raising your spirits Dinners take priority over drinkers when the place is full ? But when its slow then its ok for them to take your money There are discounts randomly given to some drinkers and not others We have dined there with mixed reviews the place is really not good there is no consistency and its pot luck if you get a welcome or a rebuff.

Rude obnoxious locals stuffing the bar inconsistent staff random discounts but not real locals

The reviews and pictures of the food looked pretty good which is what bought us here in the first place. The intention was a nice meal to end our holiday away. Have to say it was a real disappointment, the food looked the part but really was bland. Me and my partner had the steak burger, the meat was fatty tasting, grey in colour and just bland almost like it had been boiled. My bacon was well done my partners was underdone. The chips were really soggy and no where near "triple cooked chips" my partner even left his chips due to some of them being raw. The fact we had the same dish yet there was so much inconsistenty is really poor. I know its pub food but for a quiet Thursday evening this really should of been better. Shame, will definitely not be returning or recommending.

Went for Sunday Lunch Very friendly atmosphere and very nice olde worlde rooms A great choice for Sunday Roasts we had the beef it was superb Great service and excellent portions the main coarse was more than enough on its own Very quiet peaceful setting plenty of outside space and very dog friendly Will deffinately come again

The food today was superb. My grandaughter had carbonnara and I had American nachos with pulled brisket and cheese absolutely gorgeous and then brownies and waffles. All were served beautifully and service very friendly. Highly recommend the broom.tavern.

Quite simply the most impressive pub experience I have had for years. The food is nothing short of superb, clearly prepared with care, imagination and real talent and the chefs obviously pride themselves in sourcing quality local produce. The staff are attentive and so friendly. Give them a try - you will not be disappointed. This has restored my faith in pubs! For the record, we had chicken burger (amazing) and feta, onion and sun-dried tomato tart with chips (also top quality) plus home made ice cream (choc and orange marmalade (winner!!).

If you ever are in Broom this place is an absolute must. Everything is perfect in this 16th Century pub.

Excellent service and food. First class!!!

Great place,good fab and staff very welcoming, something for everyone.

Excellent food. Really appreciate the seasonal flavours. Perfect.

Very good. Service was good, quick. Food was freshly cooked & very nice . Can't complain at all . Great deserts

5 very happy customers Food was exceptional Service was excellent Atmosphere was great What a beautiful brilliant find All 5 left in a food coma!

Just had one of the best Sunday Roasts ever. The beef and Rioja gravy are to die for, and the veggies looked beautiful. Lovely service, with plenty of seating options outside (covered, open, under trees) and in. Dog friendly.

Nice pub. 3 cask ales, however all pale ale. Good atmosphere.

Excellent quality pub food in a cosy, traditional pub environment with good, attentive service. Popped in for a quick lunch and will certainly be returning!

Was very busy (we visited on night of the coronation) but food was fantastic and perfectly cooked. Staff were lovely too.

The meals at the Broom Tavern are delicious. Always different from the usual pub food. Congratulations to the chef.

Fantastic atmosphere, very attentive staff. We had Sunday roasts and they were absolutely delicious. The cauliflower cheese is to die for ! The vegetarian roast was amazing too. I would highly recommend this place, and we will definitely be returning soon.

Excellent food and service. Well worth a visit

We had the most lovely Sunday lunch out at The Tavern , Broom. Well worth the trip from Worcestershire to Warwickshire! What was a joy for me ( apart from the warm welcome and good service) was the extensive GF menu- nearly everything was possible...

Lovely food great service have made a booking to go back would well recommend a visit you can eat outside or inside

Brilliant Bank Holiday lunch thanks to Karen and the team for squeezing us in. The ribeye steak was amazing and so were the fish and chips! Thanks again, the Wyatt’s.

Having booked dinner at The Broom Tavern less than 3 weeks previously, our family invaded the restaurant at 5pm on a Sunday at the beginning of April for a special birthday celebration. I use the word invaded as we were 8 adults, 4 teenagers,and 7...

Dropped in en-route back to Bristol from Coventry. After looking for a place to eat on Tripadvisor near Alcester the search brought us to The Broom Tavern. Fantastic service, food and atmosphere. If we are in the area again we will definitely pop in

Two simple meals requested. Firstly, Fish and Chips. This arrived and it could only have been an inexperienced cook and certainly not a chef would have plated it and sent it out. 70% was overcooked batter with barely any ( frozen) fish. Even in the...

Sunday lunch was very good, arrival of drinks took longer than normal, but this was mother's day lunch.

Good afternoon spots fans and welcome back it's been a while since we last posted this has been in part to a number of external factors but hay ho they are all behind us and we are BaCk biGGer and better than 🔖 And this time you'll find this on the edge of the Cotswolds southwest england just outside of Stratford-upon-Avon the home of sheakspear in this quintessential english village called Broom..... yes I thought unusual name anyway i digress. We are staying a couple of days in an Airbnb here is the village which is an absolutely amazing airbnb that is for a separate review, on arrival at the airbnb the Host recommended two eateries the one right next door called "The Broom Hall" Well renonened for its steaks and the other just a 5 minute walkaway called "The Tavern" The host explain to that "The Tavern" had a Michelin-starred trained chef and that was it the good lady was sold the Mrs being a total food nut and having watched every serises and episode of MasterchefAustralia 🇦🇺 twice at least. So we ambled ourselves with the dog " Dog frindly restaurant ☆ number one "The Tavern" I am had a traditional look on the outside black and white Tudor style building not much has changed inside but it is very warm ma and inviting once through the door or there has been some trustful done modernisation on the outside in the form of a seating area and entertaining area. Once inside we made enquiries if they were still serving lunch that would late in the day around 3:30 to which they were more than accommodating and set us at a table in the bar area. The front of house staff are friendly and engaging and willing to help and believe in service is everything, After reviewing the menu the good lady opted for the Irish themed Irish toxtes yes that was a new one of me !! I being me decided to to play it Safe and try one of there hand rolled build your own stonebaked pizzas oh and were we both in for a treat !!! The food dutfuly arrived shortly after ordering and I have to say what a fantastic gastronomic experience it was? From the lightness of the pizza base that the good lady described as (as good if not better than any she had tried whilst working in Italy.... high praise) to the local sourced toppings it all resulting in being magnifico from the both of us. The good ladies dish is an Irish spin on bubble and squeak with an Irish Twist, Again this dish was beautifully presented full of flavour neither of us had ever had it before but would most definitely order it a gain. Neither of us are particularly big dessert lovers but I did see another table order an unusual dessert so i enquired what it was and propley ordered the Irish Key Lime Pie a new one for me. Good lady and I were not to be disappointed this is another little gem from this fine establishment. Our complements and appreciation to both the front of house staff the 2 Chefs and all who made this a most enjoyable meal, The ambiance is quaint and inviting this is a well-run and very reasonably priced local restaurant and all who work here are to be applauded, we will definitely be back. Keep up the good work one and all you are on to winner. Best regards Paul and Nicole

Lovely pub with a real country pub setting. Food was lovely.

Best pub food ever! Had the St Patrick’s menu and was absolutely bowled over! From the quality to the taste of the food and excellent service this can’t be beaten. Will return definitely. Never give 5 stars (especially in the UK) but all the good...

Popped in with no expectations on a Saturday morning and had one of the best breakfasts we’d ever had. Cant wait to go back

Had a beautiful meal from the new menu. Husband had cod and chips and I had the chicken and chorizo. It was such a tasty dish, chorizo is not normally something I would have but it was perfectly balanced, not over powering. The young man...

We went on a Saturday lunchtime after not going to the Broom tavern for many years and must say the food was exceptional my wife an I both said it was one of the best pub meals we have both had in a long time really highly recommended

My son had said you need to try the Tavern "It would be right up your street" It is with ought doubt a nice country pub with a local charm. We had Neck oil and a Haze cider, starters of ham hock and quail egg...

If you a looking for a wonderful place for dinner then this is the place. Service throughout was brilliant. Very friendly on the phone and even more so when we were there - service was exceptional. Food is equally as good but i recommend not...

Outstanding service and food. Would highly recommend 🙂

Good food. Good atmosphere. Friendly welcome Only lost points due to not having baby changing facilities (I'm sure most of you are not worried about that, though)

Had a very nice meal to celebrate a family birthday. Have been there several times over the years. Beer is good too.

Possibly the best ever Sunday roast ever!! How have i never eaten here before! ! The Yorkshire puddings are incredible… cauliflower cheese is to die for!! 10/10! Staff very attentive.

Fantastic country pub. The food is excellent. Nice outdoor seating area also.

4 of us went for lunch on Friday 13/1/'23 because we all liked the menu . Not been before . All amazed by the quality and variety of the food . Good friendly service . Good prices . Will all go again soon .

Lovely rump steak and chips and pint of Guinness. Just stopped here after looking on Trip Advisor for dinner. I had the 24oz Rump and other half had the 16 oz Ribeye steaks with chips and both had peppercorn sauce. Food was lovely. Perfect medium...

The most beautiful country pub, great setting and the food is just so much better than pub food it's really magnificent. Sunday lunch is to die for! We will be back!

Had a lovely meal and drinks here, staff friendly, food delicious, traditional building.

We booked a table for an anniversary lunch, the restaurant was empty other than one other couple. The staff were ok but not overly attentive, they had set the table with an anniversary message though and went to the trouble of decorating our dessert plates...

Delicious food. Extensive menu and efficient service. What more could you want?!

Lovely impromptu lunch...roaring fire helpful staff and good food...

Super food in a traditional oak beamed setting . Steak perfectly cooked with wonderful pepper sauce . Great tastes in the Hog salad of pulled pork with Stilton and walnuts . Service was prompt and friendly by Karen . Would recommend a visit . Many...

Visited yesterday for a family birthday celebration. Numbers altered on day due to weather people but the staff were so understanding. 8 of us got there and the food was amazing, great quality and value for money. Staff couldn't have done more to make everyone...
