About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighbourhood gem
Situated in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, The Vintner is a natural meeting place, be it for a coffee or something a little stronger in the café / bar, a meal in our restaurant or when getting together more formally in our Private Dining Room.

We have a diverse and thoughtful menu, locally-sourced and seasonally adjusted, as well as a comprehensive range of fine wines and beers from all over the world.

'The Vintner' derives its name from the year 1600, when John Smith traded, along with his wife, as a wine merchant (vintner) in this building. It is more than likely that William Shakespeare purchased his wine from here!

    Excellent food, relaxing atmosphere and although the kitchen was very busy the food came out without waiting too long. All of the staff were excellent, especially Charlie who looked after us very well indeed.

    I have been a patron of the Vintner for over 30 years. It has maintained its spotless reputation because standards never slip. The food is excellent and beautifully presented. The service is on point, being never interuptive, nor neglectful. My only piece of advice to anyone: book in advance. I can't wait till the next visit.

    We enjoyed a fantastic lunch at the vitner yesterday afternoon. The service was fantastic as usual and the food was very tasty and enjoyable. In terms of value for money, we noticed that the prices have recently been increased, and a prawn starter for nearly £14 is becoming very expensive. Overall it was very enjoyable and we will be going back again soon!

    Welcoming front of house. Saw to every detail. Had steak exactly cooked as required. Lemon tart zingy with a sorbet for dessert. Excellent Pinot Noir to accompany steak.
