"We came to Stratford Parks touring in our caravan for a few days, the Muddy Oar Bar in the clubhouse was a beautiful venue with a terrific view over the river, which also offered great quality food for dinner service. Luke in the bar took care of us for both of our visits, suggesting the Feather Blade Beef (which was delicious) and helping my (slightly picky) wife try different drinks that she didn't even know she'd like, she loved them! He was also very serviceable in answering any questions we had about the site or town. Good service and great conversation. Anthony who brought our food was also very attentive and helpful to us both. Would definitely come again!"

We had a 5 star steak & ale pie, with chips & peas. The pastry tasted home made, the chips were the best I've had for a long time & the whole meal was piping hot. But what really made the meal 5 star was the lovely Alexandra...We were both very impressed with the whole evening & we will be back again.

Fantastic place to eat and also enjoy the live entertainment. A member of staff that was exceptional was Jane, who works in the Muddy Oar Bar - nothing was to much trouble and she is such a lovely lady.
