From the first-floor dining balcony, take in sweeping river views stretching from the iconic Grade I listed Saxon Clopton Bridge to the historic Tramway bridge, with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre as a backdrop. It’s the perfect setting for watching the world drift by over a leisurely lunch, a casual coffee, or a memorable dinner with friends.

Our well-stocked bar boasts local Purity and Carlsberg draught beers and lagers, a handpicked wine and spirits list, craft beers and ciders, and a wide selection of soft drinks—perfect for sipping at our signature zinc-topped bar or in the riverside garden.

From early morning coffees to laid-back lunches, standout Sunday roasts to classic bar snacks and our much-loved fish specials, our menu champions fresh, locally sourced ingredients and bold British and European flavours. Everything is freshly prepared by our enthusiastic kitchen team.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick bite or settling in for the evening, our friendly, experienced team looks forward to welcoming you to The Boat House—Stratford’s best spot for riverside dining and unwinding.
