The Moat House Inn in Stratford-on-Avon

Lovely pub for a valentine meal. Food was excellent and service was great

Beautiful venue, fabulous food and great vegan options

Went with my partner for Sunday lunch. Booked for 1230 but we arrived at 13 but were seated right away. Staff were very attentive and really looked after us. We both had the chicken roast dinner and it was amazing best Sunday roast I’ve had in a long time compliments to the chef and whole team it was wonderful. Fairly priced too.

Really enjoyed the day with friends

We visited here last week for a meal out with friends on the evening. It was somewhat busy but I didn't feel cramped in there. It was quite noisy so it was difficult to have a conversation. The drinks service was quite slow and we had to chase our order. The food however was served quite quickly. The burgers were decent but portions were small. The deserts were disappointing, not what we expected. Especially the cookie dough. The tiramisu was not very authentic but it was ok. I can't comment on the pizza as none of us ordered one. It's a nice looking place inside and out and plenty of parking but I most likely wouldn't dine here again.

Has their Chicken Alfredo last week. Still licking my lips at the very thought of it…

Nice place good food with a proper pizza oven and fires to sit by, will go again

Held my mothers wake there. Staff and service first class. Food really nice and well presented. Cannot fault and highly recommend.

Awesome Sunday lunch. Staff courteous and professional. Well done to all. Still awesome, 19 January 2025!

Really nice lunch with good food. Service is fine but felt could have a more personal touch. Will come again.

Warm and cosy place. We had a lovely lunch.

Food was really delicious, service was amazing and everything was on point. The dessert was lovely too! ✨ Would recommend.

Great food but rather noisy in the main room.

Really cozy bar, very atmospheric

Very popular but we enjoyed our meal there and was still relaxed even though busy

We held a family reunion at The Moat House Inn last Saturday. I had never been there before and booked based on the reviews and photos from Google. It was even better than expected. Lovely renovated place with lots of little rooms including a bar with a roaring fire, an 8 person private dining room and a huge vaulted dining area (where they kindly let us spread out and take a group family photo). The service was great at the bar and with the food. The food was great value for money! We stayed for 5 hours but could have stayed more if we were local. Thank you for having us!

Wow, what a place!! Food, atmosphere, everything! The place is so cosy and chill, love the original architecture. The fireplace!! Best burger iv ever had!! And as for the service and staff… absolutely fantastic! Thank you for a lovely evening!!

Good, quick service that's not fussy. I've been here a few times for lunch and it's always been good

Great family evening out... Would definitely recommend 😊

Food was lovely and service from Georgia was excellent

Lovely food, lots of choice, good service, beautiful and unusual decor. First visit today but pleasantly surprised, will definitely return.

Fantastic pub, with a great, lively atmosphere in a beautiful building. The menu was very varied and the food absolutely delicious across the board. Our waitress was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Can't recommend this pub highly enough.

Sunday brunch there outside in the sun - unbeatable We had a variety of food / loved it

Probably the best Gunness pie I have ever had

Lovely pub and restaurant. We spent 2 consecutive evenings here as a group on a business trip and really loved it. Would highly recommend

First time here and wasn't disappointed one bit. Lovely place in a lovely setting. We had Sunday lunch and was also looking forward to trying the desserts. Portions were good and we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was superb. The Sunday lunch was 10/10 up there with the best I had. Didn't find room for dessert but we will be back. Thanks again.

Chilli on a Roast Dinner? Booked for the 01st Sep 2024 as a party of 7 6 of us ordered the Roast Dinner one opted for a pizza Only one meat option… chicken! Although the Yorkshire puddings were chargeable at an extra £1.00 (most bizarre!) most of the party ordered them, only to be told 10mins later they had run out! We were given the option to order extra roast potatoes etc if we wanted It all looked delicious until I started eating it.. my mouth started burning literally on fire! At first I thought it might be too much pepper but then quickly realised it was Chilli! Who on earth puts chilli on a traditional roast dinner?? When I queried with our server he said it must be in the seasoning? Completely ruined my dinner as I hate Chilli and can sometimes react to it Would never return for a roast

Great atmosphere, friendly attentive staff. Great range of amazing food. Definitely going back

Lovely place, food relish for lunch with my boss. most staff were lovely, except for the young man who seated us who was obviously not in a good mood.

Food and atmosphere excellent! Will definitely come back.

Bright, clean, good menu, flat access for my aging guests!

Absolutely love this place! food, service atmosphere 10/10 😀

Starters and mains were fine - specials were good, crab starter was dry, squashed burger was very average. Puddings were microwaved and dry (sticky toffee pudding and cookie dough). Drinks service was very poor indeed and there was a long time between courses. Overall not one I’ll be returning to.

Amazing food and great service. Well definitely be eating here again

A good lively place for drinks and very tasty food. Staff are friendly and attentive. All in all one of the best pubs in the area.

Brilliant, we had no dinner reservation, but the staff managed to accommodated all 12 of us, great all round

Decent pub and I will be back to eat.

Food is good but the restaurant area with the garden view is too noisy, especially when there are large table groups.

First class experience have owned several pubs & restaurants over the years so can be quite fussy. Always starts with the staff so nice greeting followed by excellent service throughout from Mia nothing to much trouble. She was really on the ball but not intrusive. Food was excellent no complaints. Will certainly go back

8oz steak,1/4 of grilled tomatoe,a few green lettuce leaves,a small basket of skin on fries which are under£3 for a large bag from any supermarket,total meal cost £26.95,a very small bottle of water for£3.40,so total with water over £30,dont think i be going there again especially when myself,wife 2 teenage daughters,all had a carvery each 2 chocolate puddings and refill fizzy drinks for total £42 so my advice if it's a fair price meal you want dont go moat house,go the Toby carvery

Had an amazing time. The staff were really attentive and friendly, but they didn't make us feel like they were hovering over us or invading our space. The atmosphere was perfect and so relaxing. Everyone seemed really happy to be there, and the food was amazing!! The chef was even happy to tell us the ingredients in our favourite sauce/dip from the sharer starter. We tried a few of their excellent house cocktails, and they were delicious, too. All around, we had an excellent time, and we could not find a single fault in the service or any part of our visit, and we can't wait to go back again in the future!

Had a ball, a blast, food which was just mwah, the service was amazing 😍

Popped in by chance looking for a Sunday lunch and we thought the place was excellent. Had the Roast Beef and Chicken Sunday lunch. The beef was perfectly cooked medium and lovely and soft and the chicken was very tasty. Great to find food being served hot on a warmed plate. The waiting team are very efficient and welcoming. We will be visiting from Sutton Coldfield again, a 45 minute drive but worth it.

Close to the beach, lovely staff, good choice of drinks, all the sports on and music. Can't go wrong. Will try the food later, heard good things about their carvery.

Very nice high end pub. Plenty of ladies who lunch.

Really enjoyed our family visit. The food was good, but there were little points for improvement and thought a touch over priced. Service was immaculate and had a great vibe.

Overrated. Food can be good but is hit and miss just like the service. Big dining area is like a noisy canteen. There are cosier more consistent pubs nearby that are not part of a chain.

Very slow service and overpriced for what you get. Dont understand reason you have tables at front outdoors but cannot eat there.

amazing food as always!! atmosphere is relaxing and staff are really attentive. great variety on the menu too. definitely visiting again!

Menu had a great range of options for both main meals and sharing platters. Staff very helpful and seating outside comfy. Thank you.

Nice fish and chips. Service better than my last visit. Not cheap slightly higher prices. Friendly waitress but they don't come back to check everything is OK with your food.

I had my dads 60th birthday get together dinner at the Moat House and the staff were super helpful. They allowed me to come in prior to the reservation time to hang up balloons and banners. Also I asked if there was anywhere a bit secluded or more private and they put us in the room with one table in and it was perfect! Food was great, staff were helpful and they brought out the cake with happy birthday being sung 😂 Cannot fault this place at all! Highly recommend!

Best pub in the area, staff and food are always amazing. Would highly recommend a visit : )

We were passing through in our motorhome and arrange to visit friends here. We were given a friendly greeting. The food was excellent and the service.

Lovely food. Good service. Pleasant surroundings. A very enjoyable evening.

We have passed many times, but never stopped before. The peanut butter and chilli jam beef burgers was great. The staff were very busy, but service was good. There was also a large carpark at the back. We were tempted by other dishes, so we will be going back.

Private party lovely friendly atmosphere

A wonderful airy pub cum restaurant. Well worth visiting - great oint ,& great food + love the atmosphere.

Enjoyed the overall atmosphere, quality food, friendly staff and great service.

Nice place outside and in. Had to tell them about correct measurements for an aperol spritz, which they happily did . Prices good.

It is a great place to have the best meals and wonderful service you sure don't want to miss the experience...

Nice pub food very expensive for what it is , I ordered the shoulder of lamb what I got was two beef burger shaped of finely chopped lamb was not impressed with the food overall least of all the chips , if you want to charge such prices you need to upgrade the quality of your food

Grilled Za’atar was sooo good, partner had rump steak and he said better than what you’d get at some steakhouses. Thoroughly enjoyed on a sunny day in the garden at the back. Deffo going to come again. Great service too, quick and friendly staff

Beautiful place, good service. I loved pizza!

Went in on the off chance and managed to get a table for 4 on what was a busy 2for1 night on burgers. We had burgers which were lovely mine was plant base and these are not always great. The rest of our party has pizza. Food was so good we stayed for pudding. Would deffo go again.

Felt a little rushed but good ambience

My first experience here was just okay. We were seated to our table promptly and offered drinks. The area where we were seated was very busy however the acoustics of the room made it very hard to hear those sat in front of you. We waited over 30 minutes for a waiter to realise we were out of drinks and waiting to order food, I understand they were busy but this was very slow service, the waiter himself wasn't at all friendly and acted as though we were getting in the way of something important. I was very disappointed in my food the chicken I had was very dry and the pasta was unseasoned and dense as though it had been sat on the plate for a while before being served to the table. The pudding somewhat made up for the food score. Won't be rushing back.

Great food, great beverage choices and comfortable atmosphere - even the sun was out showing off the nice garden area around the inn. Been before and got a seat Infront of the fireplace, was very chilled out even with the rugby on!

Came here for a birthday celebration and it was a nice pub

Visited for my birthday lunch. Lovely atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive. We started with the mushrooms which were delicious, my husband had the Italian pizza and I had the seabass dish. The food was beautifully presented and tasted nice but for us was over salted. The ice-cream dessert was delicious.

Great service, friendly, good food and reasonably priced. I've been there a few times and would definitely recommend.

Editing my review having been here more frequently since I first reviewed. Atmosphere and the food is nice. The pizzas are really nice. Staff wise overall very good. Managers and team on the whole are lovely although one of the team looked a bit miserable yesterday. Fortunately she was only taking the drink order Maybe she was having a and day? Kids menu nice, god portions. My biggest gripe is the desserts. Very expensive for what they are and size/portion. For me, this is the area that could be improved a lot.

Tasty food. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Food gorgeous and just the right amount. I had the moules which were perfect hubby had haddock fishcake with poached egg again perfect. And the chips were excellent really hot nice and crispy and just the right amount of salt. Will be back as the atmosphere is brilliant staff are attentive without being on top of you Washrooms pristine puddings to die for A great meal for an impromptu lunch out xx

Great place.... Very busy at times.

Very nice restaurant, and I thought of it as a fancy pub. Restaurant area looks very nice as you walk in with large wood fired pizza oven in view on arrival and the smell of log fires and pizza was lovely. Choose a sharing starter which was very nice the moat house facaca bread is lovely. We choose different main meals and as much as they were very well presented and nice tasting, we both found them very salty. It could have just been on the day or the chef in the kitchen however if your not a big salt lover I'd choose a pizza next time. It wasn't enough to cause a fuss over with the staff and the bill was paid in full, just a note to bear in mind.

We had a family meet up, 10 of us ate, The food was pretty disappointing. We had high hopes when we walked in and saw the pizza oven and expected something special. Unfortunately the pizza's were small and dry, they are more expensive than a proper Neapolitan pizzeria. When we got the bill, we were surprised to see the pizza was by one get one free, this was not mentioned on the menu or by our server, we ordered 3 but would have swapped out the awful sausage and mash (£17 for 2 sausages and a bit of very salty mash) for pizza instead if we had been informed. at £7 or £8 each the pizza would have been ok I guess. The service was pretty hopeless too, no one came to check if the food was ok, or ask if we needed more drinks. The pub is lovely inside, and everywhere looked very clean, so I gave the extra star. Looking at other peoples reviews and pictures I can only assume we turned up on an off night, None of ours we're really worthy of a picture and other people obviously like what the pub does.

Avoid the plaice. Never had it before, bad choice on my behalf. Well cooked , well presented, just not for me. Compliments to the chef and the team, enjoyed the experience.

Great place to meet up and eat.

Amazing food and service. Can be a little noisy when busy.

Great service. Great food. Plenty of parking.

Lovely decor and atmosphere. Friendly staff and food was excellent. We both had the Fish & Chips which was good quality and portion size with nice crispy batter and moist fish. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone. Also good parking and easy access.

Yesterday as we drove past we decided to pop in for a spot of lunch, a sign on the door said they would be closing at 3pm for a staff party! This didn’t deter us as The Moat House looked so inviting and the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food and drink was extremely good and I would definitely recommend it. Usually Mondays pub / restaurants are closed which we understand as staff need a day off, service was excellent and food delicious.

We rented the Teepee for our work Christmas party. Our server was amazing and so kind and helpful from the second we arrived until the second he left. He was up for a laugh too! Would definitely do this again, the food was amazing and it wasn't cold like I thought it would be, with a fire pit in the middle!

fantastic friendly service from every member of staff, great food, great atmosphere.

Visited Christmas Eve with friends & despite the pub being full of customers the staff did their utmost to find us a table where we could enjoy a Christmas drink. The bar staff even remembered our drinks order each time we went to the bar. Amazing venue, staff & service. Extremely impressed 👏

Past this pub a few times and thought I'll have to try that it's a good looking place. The pub is fab lots of different areas,so as big as the pub is it doesn't feel like your are in a barn. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is standard pub fare🤓

It is deffo four star all round.

We were seated earlier than we had booked which was fantastic. Staff so friendly and the food was just divine..couldn't fault anything...highly recommend

The location was good and service was attentive and friendly. The food was OK, however chicken and plaice were both over cooked.

Super place, the table was so festive. Felt hats and crackers on the table. Whole place very festive and welcoming. My starter was great,main course, for me, not the best. I chose salmon to start, beef , for main. Beef was hard to cut and chew. Most of the party eat their's though. On thhe whole, lovely experience .

Sehr schöner Pub. 2. Besuch dort. Beim ersten Besuch gab es Fish&Chips. Im Vergleich zur Pizza war das die bessere Wahl. Aber die Steinofen Pizza war für UK schon ganz in Ordnung.

Lovely Friday evening meal. Great place. Definitely recommended. Great gluten-free menu is also available

Fantastic service and food couldn’t fault it

Attended for a family party meal food was fantastic, service was great what's not to like.

Absolutely amazing! We joined a party of 20 in the Gun Room last night - we were blown away! The food was absolutely exquisite - check out the scallops! - but the service! Omg! The most delightful young man, Taylor, his attention to detail, his smile… he absolutely made our night! Be assured though, it wasn’t just Taylor, the whole team made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble - I highly recommend x

What a fantastic place, lovely food, fantastic staff, a great setting and the building is just gorgeous with exposed beams and open fires, really cosy and enjoyable

We were guests on Saturday atJ james McNerlins 80th ,and what a lovely time we had ,the food and service we had from Taylor was exceptional lovely venue 😀

Lovely lunch today, very old pub in the Worcestershire county side near Alster.

Really nice place to visit. Food was great.
