Vintner
4 & 5 Sheep Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6EF
If you fancy eating and drinking in the place that is reputed to have served as William Shakespeare's off licence, The Vintner is for you. The fine timber-framed building has been little altered since it was built in the late-1400s and provides a handsome setting for the café bar, a restaurant and private dining in the Banquet Room. Handy for the Royal Shakespeare Theatres and open seven days a week, the cuisine ranges from traditional English cooking through to pan European, and draws on fresh, local produce. Visitors and locals mingle cheerfully, assisted by a wine list that will take you on a challenging journey round the globe, all of which helps towards creating the high zing factor that rings around the ancient beams.If you fancy eating and drinking in the place that is reputed to have served as William Shakespeare's off licence, The Vintner is for you.

The Vintner has to be one of the busiest places in town. After some five hundred years, it's still privately owned. In 1600, John Smith traded here as a wine merchant and it's reputed that William Shakespeare came here to buy his wine. If the list which he was able to choose from then bears any resemblance to the one on offer to those who eat and drink there now, then Will certainly knew a thing or two!
The Vintner offers a modern café bar and a handsome restaurant. The Private Dining Room is an ideal setting for a wedding breakfast, a reunion, that special birthday party or a meeting of the Board perhaps?

REVIEWS OF Vintner
Carole (31 October 2009)
My family and I had the lovely experience of dining at The Vintner in September 2009. It was my golden wedding anniversary. We had a table for ten upstairs, the food was great and the service terrific, and in fact there was nothing to complain about. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a lovely meal in a historic building. I will certainly go again when in the area.

I've just got back from a wonderful two day break in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Last night I was fortunate to have booked a table at The Vintner, and I must say I'm glad I did.
Within seconds we were seated with drinks at a table for two inside the entrance door. Great service from the outset, and even more so when we asked to be moved to a table away from the door. We had a great table by the top of the steps to the cellar tucked away and felt very private.
All the staff that dealt with us were very friendly, professional and with a great sense of humour. The food that we ordered was delivered to the table very quickly but with no sense of pressure of a rush. All three courses we had were amazingly tasty and cooked to perfection with an unbelievable amount of taste.
20 out of 10 for service, quality, price, in fact everything!
If you read this review and will be paying a visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon, you would be totally stupid not to pay a visit to The Vintner!
