Introduction

The Garrick in Stratford-upon-Avon has all the quaint and quirky charm you'd expect from a Tudor building. As one of the oldest pubs in Stratford, we've got plenty of interesting history, from priest holes to the plague, which has earned us a Grade II* listing. And Shakespeare's Birthplace is just a four minute walk away, so there's plenty to explore. We're a family-friendly pub dishing up favourites like pies, chilli, and mac & cheese plus refreshing drinks to perk you up. We happily accept coaches so stop by and say hi. We've got free Wi-Fi to help you plan where you head next and bring the dog if you're out for a mooch, as we're a dog-friendly pub. When it comes time to don your dancing shoes, we can help with that too! We've got a dancing space and love to see you let loose.
