Mary Arden Inn, The Description
The picturesque village of Wilmcote, situated about three miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon, is well known as the birthplace of Mary Arden, the mother of William Shakespeare.
Arden has lent her name to a cosy inn that is located opposite her childhood home. The former private house dates back to the 1700s and can be used as a great base to explore all that nearby Stratford-upon-Avon has to offer.
In good weather, you could linger in the beer garden while in the winter the old-fashioned lounge bar offers the perfect ambiance to spend a couple of satisfying hours over good food and real ale. The restaurant offers its own imaginative modern British menu, and old classics and daily changing specials are served in the bar. Wherever possible, the chef uses locally sourced produce to create the menu's dishes. The inn's regular fish and chip and steak nights have proved to be popular with visitors and locals alike.
The delightful establishment is an ideal place for an overnight stay in one of the eleven ensuite bedrooms at The Mary Arden Inn.
Your Reviews of Mary Arden Inn, The
Eric Beston (27 April 2009)
Its location makes the inn an obvious place for lunch after a visit to the fascinating adjacent Shakespeare site. The reviews I'd read were also encouraging. But the reality was so disappointing. I booked Sunday lunch for a reunion of 12 friends a couple of weeks in advance and reconfirmed that morning. In the event it took them about an hour and a half to serve our main courses, not an extensive menu and most of us had the traditional Sunday lunch, and another half hour for the puddings - ordered earlier on the advice of our charming waiter. Even then, they did not have enough of one of the puddings for all who had ordered - and those who did get their choice received notably small portions. No explanations or regrets from management. The waiter was left to cope - good lad. We noticed a leaflet saying that the inn is under new management. Unless you have lots of time to spare and nothing better to do, my advice would be go somewhere else until the new people get their act together.

I can't say enough about the food there. The 10oz rib eye was melt in the mouth. My partner had the fish of the day and said it was perfection on a plate! The service was excellent, very attentive staff who couldn't do enough for us. Overall, a lovely place, fantastic food and great staff.
