The Blue Boar

It is in an ideal place for trips to the local areas, but not in the centre of Stratford upon Avon. The food could have been hotter for my palate, but acceptable. The staff were extremely friendly. There were a couple of niggles with our room, which we informed the staff about - hopefully they take note.

16th Century building (road side inn).. Re-modernized, with rooms to let.. Very atmospheric pub and restaurant, esp for Christmas time. Nice touches that bring out the features of the building, esp the the indoor water well. Room are good, may need some further modernization but very functional. Incredibly narrow corridors and stairwell. (can see traffic jams happening)

This was a family celebration for a birthday- half the party had been before - it was our first time. The meal was fabulous, the service excellent and the atmosphere was great! We will definitely be back . We were welcomed straight away , drinks were served. All of the meals chosen were lovely. Although busy the service was good .

Visited The Blue Boar Inn while my partners family were staying there for the weekend. The restaurant is very busy so I would definitely recommend prebooking over weekends. All I can say is the staff, service and food were amazing. We all chose to have food from the Indian menu and it didn't disappoint! The only very small criticism would be the food came out very quickly so you didn't have much time in between courses. I'll happily drive the 45 minutes from where I live to eat here again!

A wonderful dining experience with three friends. We were greeted by friendly waiting staff who explained the menu for us and kept us 'watered' throughout. The food was delicious and we will be returning very soon to try the other menu options. Highly recommend 👌🏼

We had a wonderful meal here, the prawn starter was so tasty and the Seabass was the best I’ve had- delicious! Lovely warm atmosphere and staff were so attentive and friendly. Great evening meal with friends. We’ll definitely be back soon! ❤️

What a Beautiful country pub and restaurant, the food was so fresh and tasty, staff were so accommodating and very friendly. It’s a lovely setting and decor. Menu has a nice range of different dishes. Would recommend for a great meal. We will be booking again soon!

What can I say one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time. Staff and service e excellent. I had the prawns to start they were delicious, followed, by the duck which was so tender finished off with sticky toffee pudding. I highly recommend this place.

I realise that standards/taste and expectations vary, but our experience was not what we'd expected. Firstly the building is attractive, the garden area pleasant. It's on a corner by a reasonably busy and fast road, traffic noise is an issue, especially the boy racers at night, but it's beyond their control. Stairs to the accommodation are narrow, uneven and winding which can't be helped but there is a finger trap hazard on the banister. The carpet is filthy. Which needs rectifying. The room we had was small, the bathroom so small you can't dry yourself after a shower with the door shut. The bathroom has a sliding door with 1 inch holes drilled through it for ventilation and it does not close properly. No toilet roll holder, meaning you have to put the roll on the floor, sink or on the cistern. This was supposed to be a superior room. The mattress is one of the most uncomfortable I've been on, the pillows too. The bedlinen is not great quality. I wasn't able to sleep due to road noise, the uncomfortable bed and pillows, the external lights immediately outside the window being on until approaching 2 am and the noise from other guests, as the walls are so thin you can hear them talking, moving around in bed and using the bathroom. Plus guests going outside to smoke banging the fire door. There was a lot of screaming, shouting and arguing on our second night, which was very loud and went on for sometime. The staff are at best indifferent, we ordered things we never received, food and drinks, food was badly cooked ( we did get a reduced bill for one meal I couldn't eat) and breakfast was such a disappointment I asked for just toast on my 2nd morning. Full English condusted of 2 slices of very overcooked streaky bacon even though it says back bacon on the menu, 1 sausage, a table spoon of baked beans, half a tomato, 6 bits of mushroom and a slice of toast. We stay in a LOT of hotels etc and this was the worst full English breakfast I've ever had. Nobody asked about our stay, and there was no-one was there to speak to at checkout. The pub seems very popular, with large noisy groups which is obviously not the pubs fault, but it made it less than enjoyable to sit and try to have a meal. Positives are very close to Stratford upon avon. Free car park, serves Indian food, busy and lively if that's your thing.
