The Little Lark in Stratford-on-Avon

The Little Lark never fails to impress with a tasty, large-sized meal, with very reasonably priced day menu options. The staff are friendly and helpful, too. We've visited he Little Lark multiple times and highly recommend.

Fantastic little friendly pub Food is superb, not overly cheap but you get exactly what you pay for. Huge portions, cannot fault it

What a quality night. The food was excellent and plentiful. The atmosphere was really friendly with hosts being very welcoming. The new owners are really making a big effort with lots of new ideas. A good old fashioned and friendly pub.

From the minute we got there we were greeted with a warm welcome and a friendly bar staff member.. Ordered a drink , sat at a table and ordered food of a great menu, that good it was hard to choose a meal.. Wow, was served amazing home cooked food, best I’ve tasted in a long time.. Will be back very soon.. 10 out of 10…

Whilst on a little trip to the area, we had been trapped in our accommodation for the day due to appalling weather. When the rain eventually stopped, we sought a dog friendly pub within a reasonable short drive. There were plenty of options but the reviews of Little Lark were good so we headed there. Apart from the lack of parking, the experience was faultless. Friendly staff, cozy decor, a good choice of food and a few real ales to chose from. The Desperate Dan pie was my choice and it didn't disappoint. My partner had a nice chilli and there were no complaints with the food. I would certainly visit again if in the area and would recommend to anyone visiting.

Attended The Little Lark after reading reviews online. Quaint little pub, excellent food. Special of the day was Rib Eye steak. Really well priced, delicious, will definately go back when in the area

I went to this pub several times many years ago when it was part of Colm O'Rourke's Little Pub Company chain. This was the first I have been recently and I was so pleased to see how good it still is. In an age when do many pubs have closed and so many of those that remain are part of large bland chains or have gastro-pubbed, it is such a pleasure to find a good honest pub. Friendly helpful staff, decent choice of proper beers, good unpretentious pub food, pleasant atmosphere. Everything I like to see in a pub. I was delighted to see that still serve the legendary Desperate Dan cow pies harking back to the Mad O'Rourke days

We stumbled across this pub while our family plus dog were driving across the country to get home from our holidays. We were tired and hungry. I rang ahead and they squeezed us in. The heavens opened up and we were drenched just walking from where we had parked our car. A very friendly welcome was given us..even the wet dog!. We each had a meal which was good old home cooked pub grub. Service and good size portioned food and excellent, just what we needed without breaking the bank. Really refreshing to find a little gem of a place. Our only problem was not being able to stay long enough to enjoy the atmosphere as we head home. Thanks for feeding my family, so l didn't have to cook when we finally got home.

Today we had a fantastic afternoon. 20 family members had lunch. The food and service were amazing. All of the meals arrived at the same time, they were hot and were delicious. The pub has a great atmosphere. A proper pub with exceptional traditional food.

A fab little pub...Accommodated 20 of us for lunch really well, the food orders were spot on & enjoyed by us all The staff were friendly & made us welcome. A return will be planned soon...Thankyou!

Booked a table the day before we visited, so thought it was a lovely personal touch with the ‘reserved’ sign that was left out for us on our arrival. Pleasant members of staff behind the bar as well as the attentive young lady who brought the food to our table. The Rogan Josh curry and accompaniments I had were delicious as was the three-bean chilli my son had. The Beef Lasagne, according to my wife, was ‘homemade’ and filling and the best she’d had in a long time. Excellent value for money in my opinion as all our plates were empty at the end. A cosy and dog-friendly pub and one we will definitely revisit in the future.

Booked lunch over 2 months In advance by email. Called a few days before booking due only to be told their email had not been working for months, no mention of that on their website, shambles, no way to run a business.

I feel ashamed to say I've never visited this pub, which is pretty close to where i live. However it was my birthday and we decided to take advantage of the Mon-Wed 50% scheme. We chose this pub over others because there were at least 4 vegetarian dishes on the menu. The owner was welcoming and very friendly throughout our entire visit. A down to earth guy who was more than helpful to talk through other dish options when it came to ordering food. Drinks - a great selection of gins (with the option to 'go for a double, at very reasonable price 👍 Food - brie wedges to start with on a bed of salad and coleslaw...it was so welcoming to see a good amount of salad rather than a few leaves on the side of the plate. Mains ordered; sirloin steak, The Lark burger and goats cheese tart. The steak came with a range of vegetables along with onion rings. The burger and bacon were tasty and served again with chips and onion rings... the goats cheese tart was made with flaky pastry..my favourite. So in total we had 2 starters and 3 mains and 3 drinks (£32)!!! It was definitely worth more than the £20 we paid on the (food) government scheme, however due to the scheme we went there and we now will definitely go again.

Great time spent here, food lovely and friendly helpful staff. Bit on the small side but cosy. Very enjoyable.

Friendly staff, great ales and food was freshly cooked, very nice and portions were generous. Well worth a visit.

A proper pub which you dont see very often these days. Called in whilst in the area and was not disappointed. Only had a sandwich and it was well worth the wait. Very good selection of beers. Quite a few friendly locals, good friendly publican and even a friendly dog making himself comfortable. Only drawback is that the pub is situated on a very busy main road without a car park, so p[arking is at a premium. Well worth a visit.

Lovely pub, an open fire, friendly locals and nice food. There were a couple of nice dogs in there and some children, a nice family atmosphere but not noisy. Beer was good.

Found this pub over the internet looking for food whilst in the area it had a good review. Very friendly welcome and the food was wonderful could not fault anything, hope we are in the area again soon as we will return.

While staying at Studley Castle for a couple of nights, my husband and I decided to call in to "The Little Lark" it's a lovely warm and friendly pub with a village ambience. Dave Abbott is the welcoming publican who offers home cooked food at affordable prices and locally brewed Real Ale. The Little Lark holds a Certificate of Excellence from Cask Marque. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. There is a Pensioner's Lunch menu on Tuesday to Thursday (2 courses for £6).We will definitely be back well done to Dave and all the little larks !!

Called in here whilst on a walk and was so impressed we ended up staying for a snack and another drink. Locals are friendly and a real fire is always a great comfort 👍

Now installed as my local Very friendly with good food at reasonable pricing The landlord is always welcoming too

Good beer. Great chips. Friendly service. A proper pub that does good food and ale. I try and get there once a week 😎

Visited for a quick midweek lunch. Traditional pub with traditional pub grub fairly priced. Great well kept beer. The portions were generous to say the least. I thought I would need back up to finish my gammon but I fought bravely and in the end was victorious. Will certainly visit again for food.

Went to this Public House to celebrate a family christening and we were not disappointed as the food that was laid on was excellent as it was extremely fresh and varied, the Pub itself serves good quality food & drink and has a pleasant atmosphere.

Went to the park for lunch,they advertise a senior's menu for£6 on Tuesdays, Wednesday,s and Thursdays, choice of half a dozen mains and two sweets all for £6, altogether with a couple of drinks came to well under £20, where else can you get value like that,plentiful portions friendly efficient staff, thoroughly recommend

Visited this place having not long moved to Studley and sorry but it was the worst meal we have had since moving . Meat was poor quality and fatty chips were swimming in grease and onion rings were just batter ! Hubby was actually physically sick when we got home so first and last visit from us

Popped in here based on reviews from other advisors.

We love this place. Good food, nice beers and friendly staff. Busy, nice atmosphere. Give it a try. The only let down is lack of parking.

Came here after passing on a Sunday and thought we would stop for lunch. On entering we were very warmly welcomed by I think the owner and his wife..very friendly people. The locals also spoke to us leaving us feeling very welcome even though we hadn't been to this pub before. We ordered two beef dinners with puddings and two pints all for £26...bargain! The food was delicious as was the service...we left very happy and will definitely return! Thank you

Have been really excited cuming here only ordered my daughter's dinner it took over an hour. So woant b cuming back. They said it was busy for a Tues god help a weekend.

If you want a good and reasonably priced meal go here to have it. It is first class food. Our grandson came from. Australia and he was amazed at the meal he had. The staff here are really great and are friendly.

Good local pub with good pub food,not gastro, but good honest food at pub prices. Friendly, welcoming staff and nice atmosphere. Just enjoy.

A great traditional pub with a warm welcome. Good choice of real ales and lagers. Couldn't resist the Desperate Dan Cow Pie and it didn't disappoint. It's a big meal - a steak and kidney pie with all the veg inside it. Great steak and very tasty gravy which infused the veg. Mmmm. Very good value.

Visited as party of 6 for a mix of my birthday and my retirement and 5 of 6 of us had the Desperate Dan pie but were all sadly disappointed. The pies were totally lacking any taste at all and could have done with some seasoning. Mainly veg in a tasteless gravy. Big thumbs down, sorry. The sixth meal was fish and chips which looked great but apparently was very greasy and made the person feel sick until the next morning....will not be revisiting this pub.

We visited the little lark for a friends night out. Having been here in the past, it was nice to go back. I opted for the desperate Dan pie, I was disappointed with the pie it was nearly full ok thanks vegetables. When you usually have a pie it has carrots, onions and peas. This pie had cauliflower, broccoli, peas, carrots and 2 slices of potato. The steak and kidney was good quality. Plus it could have been a lot warmer. Top marks of the evening went to the gammon and chips

A nice pub with a varied menu to suit all the family. Food was tasty and plentiful and the service was great. It was a shame the £9.95 Sunday 2 course lunch which drew us in was not available.

Visited for lunch. Steak and Ale pies were fabulous, packed with meat and very tasty. Excellent value. Beer was well kept too. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming. I would really recommend this place!

This is a small local pub. Visited recently for lunch after a long walk. Very good quality fair and comparatively priced. Will certainly eat here again.

called in for sunday roast which we have done many times, totally disappointed, no vegetarian option, they just said they'd do extra veg

Nos han visitado aquí en numerosas ocasiones, la comida suele ser impresionante pero hoy nos quedamos muy decepcionados con el nivel de la comida. Nos quejamos y nos ofrecieron un reembolso completo. Volveremos de nuevo, pero realmente espero que la comida no está empezando a ir cuesta abajo.

Fui a la poco despreocupados el Martes (11 de abril) con algunos amigos para comer y no me decepcionó. Los pensionistas menú almuerzo de dos platos es excelente relación calidad-precio a 6 libras y mi gambas y patatas fritas bien cocinado y servido con rapidez. El budín de pan y manteca tenía la cantidad de nuez moscada con suficiente fundamento de natillas. Mis amigos estaban todos contentos con sus comidas. Sin duda volveremos.

Un magnífico 'local'. Todo el mundo siempre nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. El personal atento y amable, buena comida y buena cerveza. Un encantador ambiente.

Excelente casa de ale. Nunca he comido aquí, pero dicen el antiguo lugar de salchichas de la tienda de la granja local colina áspera son excelentes.

Visitamos ayer (viernes noche) tras una recomendación para la comida. Se trata de un "pub" con pubby mucha gente de allí sólo para una bebida. Sin embargo, nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos y ordenar comida era fácil. Los platos son mucho de lo que cabe esperar de un pub e. g. hamburguesas, sobresaliente, gambas, etc. La comida era bastante caro y ofrecía una excelente relación calidad-precio - fue servido bastante rápido, las raciones eran generosas y estaba bien caliente. Volveremos en algún momento en el futuro, aunque creo que preferiría el comedor volver un poco más tranquilo, lejos de la zona de bar.

Visited The Lark on a Friday night for a bite to eat and a drink. The atmosphere was lively, the beer was excellent and the bar staff were first class. We ordered food, which came quickly and was all tasty and well cooked. I can highly recommend the steak and ale pie. The only downside was that whilst eating, there was a group of people on the next table with at least two of them smoking "vaping" machines which was not at all pleasant whilst we were eating and if I had realised that, I would not have ordered food there. As they were sat on the table next to the bar, I must assume that this pub allows patrons to use these devices inside the pub whilst people smoking cigarettes were all stood outside! It took the edge of otherwise a very nice visit to the pub.

20 of us piled into this time y little gem of a pub for dinner. We proceeded to make it easier . The pub was full as usual, and locals and staff were very friendlyFood arrived quickly and was piping hot. Pretty much everyone had been to the pub before on several occasions, including me. Mine wasn't the best meal I'd eaten there, but still of an acceptable standard. But this sentiment was not echoed by others, who, as usual had great meals at very reasonable prices.Will certainly keep going there, but may avoid the cottage pie next time

A spur of the moment visit on recommendation...thoroughly enjoyed the freshly delivered fish of the day..traditional ale and a friendly chat with the landlord! We will return.

Good old school pub with pride over there ales and beers, food is great yoo, highly recommend, a great value home cooked old school pub

My partner and i went on Friday 16th. Place was buzzing as usual. Both of us ordered Steak of the week which was Rib eye. We were served promptly considering the amount of people in there. Huge portions and the Steals were succulent. We always admire the splendid service afforded us by the young waiter and bar staff. We fully recommend this pub for food, service and local atmosphere. Give it a try!!

We were fortunate to win a two course Sunday Lunch for two in this pub and received a warm welcome today. Our food was delicious home cooking with excellent portion size. This is a nice ungentrified small town pub that is obviously frequented by locals. We would be happy to eat here again if we were in the area.

When we went there were no more than 12 people in the pub but the service was very, very slow. We ordered Mulled Wine, which is just a matter of putting some wine in a glass and adding hot water. We had to wait about 10 minutes and this was after two reminders. The main meal took some time to arrive but when it did the meal was very good. We ordered one portion of apple crumble, again we had to remind them that we were waiting. When it arrived it looked a mess, the apple and crumble had been mixed together and spread across the plate. We think that this was either so the chef could heat iy up in a microwave quicker or to make it look a larger portion, which it was not. The pub has the making of a good pub restaurant but needs to improve on the speed of delivery, presentation and size of the sweets. During the meal they need to ask the customer if everything is alright, which they did not do.

We decided to visit the Little Lark after many recommendations. We enjoy good quality food in a pub atmosphere. Staff were friendly. We chose the Deperate Dan pie and Steak and Ale Pie and WOW ! It's huge and I've never had a pie so full of meat and flavour, it tasted amazing. So glad we want! Will definitely visit again soon!

The pies are of some local repute so off we went to sample them. Suffice to say that the Steak and Ale pie was immaculate, perfectly presented and very tasty. The crust is cooked separately which is a good thing as it can be lifted from the dish. Also very reasonable prices and a comprehensive menu if pies aren't your thing.Efficient and friendly staff on Halloween night made it a pleasure to stay on for several drinks. I'll be back there very soon.

Went for a traditional pub meal, and wasn't disappointed. Portions were generous, food was well cooked, tasty and well presented. Beer was good, staff friendly.

Visited The Little Lark on Friday 23 September 2016As a group of 4 people, we were seated in the 'middle room'Ordered the HPA from the bar, which was well keptI ordered the Faggots, my wife ordered Lasagne, both arrive piping hot, good portions and very well presentedAll together a nice evening, good beer and good value foodGive it a try, we we're pleasantly suprised

Lovely pub, great home cooked food, lots of choices, reasonably priced. Nice friendly staff and atmosphere. Dog friendly too. What a bonus!!

Hi came here tonight and can not rate the food enoughMe and my partner both had prawn linguine which was the best I've ever tastedWas absolutely deliciousMy partners son had the fish and chips which looked amazing and a really good size portion Would highly recommend here

We visit the lark about 6 times a year nice staff good selection of drinks including real ales and cider meals good price and good portions but the only thing wrong this vist the oinion rings were very greasy apart from that we had a good nite

Staff are friendly & the food, traditional & freshly cooked but be careful the portions are large! Excellent quality & prices very reasonable. Highly recommend.

A great little pub with friendly staff , food really lovely and of generous portions , prices also good ,mid range , value for money , lovely menu proper pub food

Nothing special, old pub used by locals in the main. Food choice and prices pretty average. Maybe not a place to take your granny. Probably would not go out of my way to visit again.

Just been to the Little Lark again and as always it was wonderful. We both wanted to try the goats cheese and caramelised red onion tart but I wanted the desperate Dam pie and my Mrs wanted the lasagne so we decided to have the tart as a starter. Best decision ever. The tart was great but unfortunately I couldn't then finish my pie so I brought the remainder home with me. I honestly couldn't recommend this place enough for the food and the friendly welcome we always receive .

It's being many years since I have ate here , ordered our food which was lovely , delivered by the chef , nice touch . Staff are lovely however they need to get the identity right . Table sat behind us with a screaming child . Only two at the table eating . It was that bad my partner had to leave the table and sit outside . Another problem . As we were eating we noticed loads of tiny bar flies flying around :( . This means dirty pub to me . Pity really . Would I return . Doubt it . Needs a paint job , clean up and decide weather they want to be a pub or a cresche.

Found this pub while out visiting Coughton Court, went for lunch and it was very enjoyable! Parents had lasagne and I had fish and chips quick service and great food! We'll be back.

Great little place . Friendly welcoming staff , food really was good and I'd say definitely home made . Might snake this my local I think . It's not about the decor it's the food and the staff . Both deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

excellent and well prepared food and to a high standard.nice beers on tap.i have noticed food prices have gone up somewhat but still represents decent value.BUT !!!!! why cannot they put some heat on? absolutely freezing COLD!! radiators not on and there were 3 in front room. i assume its to save money ,but i dont want to sit eating a meal with my overcoat on !! less likely to keep customers ,as i left immediately after my meal to warm up,if it was warm and cosy i would have stopped for deserts and another drink,but no.

Their meat pie is one of the best I have had. 7 of us stopped for lunch and I tried several of the meals. Each one was really good. The fish and chips was good but not something to write home about. The Dan Pie is like nothing I have had. That is really something.

I've recently visited the Little Lark and found it to be as lovely as it sounds! The food is excellent, the atmosphere is really friendly, made even better by the warm welcome from Dave the landlord who made us feel like we were regulars although we'd never visited before. If you're wondering where to go in for a decent pint and very good food then look no further, the Lark is next on your list!!

A very good pub with outstanding well kept beers and food to match, we wish we had this pub on our doorstep. Dave the landlord welcomed us as did local customers and chatted freely unlike in many pubs which is due to Dave no doubt. The menu is diverse enough for most tastes and once sampled we found a place to return to, thank you Little Lark. Only one drawback Dave is an Ipswich supporter!!!!

Once again, lovely family feeling in this place. Never more happy than when i drink here. Keep it up.

We met here on the first night of my daughters combined Stag and Hen do, before her wedding. It really couldn't have been better. Great service from the moment we booked, very flexible, relaxed, and very helpful. On the night everything again was relaxed. The food was really good, my favourite chilli, cheesy chips were hot and tasty, and incredible value ay £4.95! I would really recommend this pub, we had a great evening, lots of colourful regulars, very friendly, we had a brilliant night.

Visited here for a family meal, lovely chilled atmosphere and food was lovely. It's nice to see it the pub back on track with a new chef. :-) will be coming back soon!

Dear little pub everybody who works there is always very happy to help .The food is lovely always well cooked and hot.Also do a good salad if you are like me and not keen on chips ,although I have to say the chips are delicious according to my husband.Please keep up the good work.

Lovely little village pub, great guy running the place now always really friendly! Good honest pub grub, great size portions too!

We on;y drop in 3 or 4 times a year but it is always a very welcoming little though larger than it looks pub restaurant. We usually eat too and have never been disappointed. Parking a little tight in the area as no car park but always somewhere nearby.

Best atmosphere and food in the village of Studley. If you want a good night out go to one of their special food evenings.

Had read previous reviews and decided to give it a go, wish I hadn't. First site was a member of the kitchen staff sitting on the prep bench in the kitchen. Barman wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. Waited long time for meals to be served & when they did get served 3 of them were tasteless and bland. Seemed to be a constant stream of 'friends' going into the kitchen as well. Would rather the chef be left to cook tasty food than to keep entertaining his mates. Wont be going back

This pub is smashing! The staff are all lovely and can't help enough! There is ah ways something going on from a cheese and cider festival to charity events and hog roasts! A great selection of drinks and some very tasty ciders!!Never had a bad meal here and would return again and again!Would recommend this lovely little pub to anyone!

Called in yesterday for a bite to eat. The food was really good with large portions at very good prices! Staff were really nice and friendly. The inside is nothing special but the excellent choice of beers and quality of food makes it well worth a visit.

Great, friendly staff! The food cooked was wonderful and everyone was a delight and efficient. It has a cute and pleasant atmosphere. I would definitely highly recommend this place!

Great little pub. Great food, large portion sizes good value. The staff are friendly as are the owners. Good range of beers and spirits as well as soft drinks. Will definitely be back.

We visit the lark frequentlyThe staff are fab. The food is very inexpensive but lovelyI love the Cajun chicken and saladThey have speciality nights too which are super and fab atmosphere

Love this place, great pub food, great staff and great atmosphere! also went for the cheese festival which was immense!

We swimming ladies had our monthly get together today and came away disappointed, ordered at 12.45 meal came out at 1.30, ordered a small scampi out came a large one minus garnish salad they normally do, the brown bread with some meals were stale and were replaced on complaining, we had to ask for cutlery it came out wrapped up spoons and forks no knives !!! No tartare had to ask considering there were 2 in the kitchen and seemed very disorganised as there were certainly not full., time for a change of venue I think !!

Visited for drinks only and really enjoyed ourselves here.good beer, good service and great atmosphere. Hope to visit again soon.

A lovely pub run by lovely people. Food is all homemade and locally sourced, with decent portions for the price. Always a choice of specials available and being a veggie - it's fab to know there's more than just the usual veg lasagne to choose from (although it's delicious!) The famous Desperate Dan pies aren't for the faint hearted! The Calf pie is a smaller but still mighty alternative!The beer is fab and reasonably priced as well as many other drinks options.Colouring pads and books for children as well as a high chair if needed. Super dog friendly! There's a drinking bowl and tap in the courtyard and a snack tin on the bar which is a lovely touch. A first port of call for many returning dogs!Regulars are all lovely and will treat you as 'one of their own' if you fancy a natter! There's a "book swap" library for the readers amongst you - swap one of your own books for one off the shelf or leave a donation for charity. All in all a fab little pub with heaps of character and quality!

We visited this lovely traditional English pub which we have visited many times over the years, with our two small dogs and friends. We had some concerns that the new owners would ruin it. However, the standard of food was if anything better; the beer was still good; the friendly service was excellent; and the decor has been improved. Well done guys, we will be back.

Visited tonite for hubby's birthday - not been in a while, really impressed. Great food, excellent service and the staff went out of their way to make the celebration get together special. Food was fab, nothing too much trouble! Will definitely be back....

Been eating at the lark for maybe 10 years now, never had a bad meal. Food out of this world, good old fashioned pub menu! Lasagne is to die for, particularly the vegetarian one even though I am not veggie.. excellent service, food always consistently good. Yes it has changed hands a few times recently but its still as good as ever. If you fancy a relaxed friendly pub meal of an excellent standard then head on down! Shame they are not serving the fruit wines anymore, mind you they were always getting me into trouble they were that strong! Love the lark!! Good work guys :)

Our compliments to the chef Sam and his team of lovely kitchen staff especially Fraser. Thank you all

Personally wouldn't have expected a pub like this to serve such tasty homemade lunch grub! Would recommend going in on a lunchtime!

Used to love goung to this little pub, friendly and fun and food was superb and delicious and also very good value for money, always busy,now things have changed, no longer a fun place to visit, new owners do not seem to care what goes on, and the food is now shocking and expensive, not a very clean kitchen either.

We visited the Little Lark twice during our stay in the area. It is a lovely, dog welcoming pub (thanks for the doggy treats), the fire was roaring and everyone was so friendly. We decided to return on Sunday afternoon to try out the food which looked delicious and WOW we was not disappointed. Roast dinner with all the trimmings, one of the best Sunday lunches I've ever had out. The meat was plentiful and for £7.95 the price was brilliant. Will definitely return if we are ever in the area again.

A real authentic traditional british pub, welcome to Dave the new landlord, he has put the Lark back on track. Its a very friendly pub, excellent value great quality pub food ( not boiled in the bag !! ) & its not expensive ,its the best pub in Studley. Paul Sambourne

This is a popular little pub, quite unassuming from the road. Fully booked Friday night so we booked for the Saturday. Having read a previous review about the Santa pies(whole Christmas dinner in a pie) we decided to opt for them and weren't disappointed. 2 large and 2 baby pies went down a treat.Mum opted for more delicate Salmon. Chocolate bread and butter pudding was very good too but not a lot of it. When a tip was offered to the landlord/barman? to give to the young waitress it was practically snatched from my Father s hand and no acknowledgement or thanks from the waitress when passed to her.

The Santa Pies are only excellent again this year. Christmas meal in a pie Santa Pie or Baby Santa Pie.

We visit The Little Lark regularly, it's a fantastic pub. Great atmosphere, great staff, good beer and great food!If you're in the area or passing through, make sure you visit The Lark.

Roadside pub with 3 seating areas. Excellent simple pub food, well cooked. Table reservations taken. Range of well kept real ales, jug cider, single malts. Frequent food theme nights and legendary Cheese Festival. Small rear courtyard, but this pub is for wet afternoons and dark nights, when the real fire in the front bar is for all to stoke.

As both myself and hubby are previous managers of the lark during the iconic mark the lark era we have hated seeing what happened to this wonderful village pub last year however fear not its getting back to its best. I went in over the weekend with my young family and was shocked to learn the lark even had a high chair. Yes a high chair. Now I can frequent the pub for food with my 9 month old in tow. The food was back to being great. New chef. The waiter was extremely polite and did everything to make our meals that much better. We even got dips with our cheesy garlic bread. The beer was great so my hubby and dad report. The pub was busy and bussling which is what you want to experience. Take it from an old local and manager ... try the lark. For the price of food, experience and quality you won't be disappointed.

This is a lovely unspoilt local pub. Traditional beers, no gimmicks, comfortable pub in Studley. Visited on the 19/10/2014 and it was reasonably busy. The food is popular and taste good. I had the Sunday lunch, roast beef and there was plenty of it on the plate. The staff are friendly and overall it was a good experience. We were regulars a few years back so it was a welcome return for us. Two meals with two rounds of drinks all for twenty pounds.
