The Old Thatch Tavern is one of those Stratford pubs that feels wonderfully made for visitors, especially if you like your lunch stop with a side order of history. The pub calls itself the oldest in Stratford and sits just 300 yards from Shakespeare’s Birthplace, making it brilliantly placed for a town-centre wander. It is also listed as dog friendly, with a real fire, fresh seasonal food and a properly historic feel that suits a slower, cosier break in the middle of sightseeing. For dog owners, it is exactly the sort of place that helps a busy visitor day feel more relaxed. Historic, central and full of character, it is a very easy Stratford yes.
