The Opposition

We came here for lunch on Saturday and had a sharing platter for 2. Really enjoyed our lunch with a drink and coffee to finish. Service was efficient and relaxed. Will definitely come back when in town.

Great old building, had a number of locals eating which is always a good sign. Food was gastro pub style, really tasty and plentiful. Crab salad was delicious as was fish of the day…Wine was great. Staff were lovely, really nice atmosphere. I’d definitely eat here all the time if I lived local. Definitely book if you are there Fri or Sat

Went here for the first time last night. Really good, tasty food. Lovely glass of white wine. The Pork fillet and slow roasted pork belly with dauphinois potato and savoy cabbage was spot on. Only thing I felt let this experience down was our young waitress. Not very warm or friendly. No smiles. No personality or charisma. Very young, which could be the factor, just could have been given a smile or two.

I would label my experience at The Opposition as disappointing. Perhaps because I ordered the special, the restaurant seems poor to me, but it failed to meet the expectations the reviews made it. The dish's name escapes me; however, the attached image illustrates its apparent Mexican influence. The selected fish did not complement the sauce, which was too light. To be honest, the dish overall had a bad combination that left me feeling nauseous afterward. The Pros were the service and the ambiance. I found the service to be satisfactory in relation to the price. The atmosphere at Opposition was charming; I particularly appreciated the homey feel. In general, I am unable to endorse this establishment as a result of the dish I consumed.

Great food( the cod was delicious) really quick service as they enquire if you're attending the theatre. Really well placed for pre theatre dining, and central in Stratford) Desserts were also really tasty. Highly recommend 👌

Went into lambs next door and it was full but they directed us here as it was their sister restaurant. We had the meatball starter, chicken and banoffee pie and everything was great. Service was friendly and the prices were fair. The chicken and chips was done really well. They also had a mussels special which seemed very popular.

Definitely the best restaurant in Stratford Upon Avon. We visited for a pre theatre dinner a few weeks ago. Wonderful atmosphere, charming staff and delicious food. I would highly recommend a visit.

Our favourite restaurant in the heart of Stratford upon avon. Outstanding service especially John and his team , makes us feel welcomed and frendily. The food is always delicious beautifully presented great choices and reasonably priced cheers to all Kosta n Philip Cotswolds

I can't comprehend why this restaurant isn't on Yelp. It has been here for years and easily the best restaurant Stratford. I did the three course for 19 quid, my wife did two course for 15, and my sister did a la cart lamb shank and pudding for 23. We set next to a small gas stove in a room that only had three tables, very lovely on the inside. Every dish we had was superb.

I am an admitted foodie from NY, and it takes a lot to curl my toes. The food in this charming, friendly and inviting restaurant is outstanding! The chef is clearly a master. Cheers!

Not sure why there aren't raves for this little gem of a place! My husband and I enjoyed our pre theatre dinner here last night. Service was warm and friendly, with the owner clearly committed to a lovely dining experience. I enjoyed the country terrine, poached salmon salad and summer fruit pudding...all fresh, made from locally source foods with a lovely presentation. Hubby enjoyed the best gazpacho with pork and pasta with tomato pesto. Lovely wine, beer and coffee rounded out....and we were off to our encounter with Romeo and Juliet! well done!
