| Bear and Ragged Staff | I was surprised to discover I was the oldest person in the pub when I visited here on a Monday night. The rooms are partially knocked through but with enough separation so that the noise of open mike night was not too annoying.
Keg beers only.

| Lion | A very nicely done pub with wooden floor and low ceilings. The leather sofas are very comfy. Real ales include Tetley's and guests, and I had a rather flat pint of Bass served by gravity from a barrel at the back of the bar.

| Anker | A very nicely decorated open knocked-through interior, with comfy sofas and leather armchairs in one area, a small stage for entertainment, and a dance floor. Only one real ale but it was in excellent condition. Nice looking smokers' garden at the back.

| Crown Inn | Noted closed in 2019.
Not visited. |
Bond Street |
| Fox and Crane | This large free-standing old house has been very nicely decorated in traditional style. There are a number of rooms partially knocked through. They concentrate mainly on the food (The menu looks good.) but the real ale is not forgotten and the Pedigree I had was well looked after.
I'm told this is no longer a pub. Last visited August 2007. |
Weddington Road / The Coppice |
| Railway Tavern | A rather nicely decorated friendly pub with a fine selection of real ales, very convenient when changing trains as it's just outside the station. An excellent rock-oriented jukebox.
Having noted this as being closed in April 2019, I passed by and found it open in June. Last visited August 2007. |
Bond Street |
| Wetherspoon's Felix Holt | A smaller than average 'spoons with rather good wood panelling. Busy for Sunday lunch.

| STRATFORD UPON AVON | ||
| West End | A pleasantly done local pub in a terraced side street. Very quiet when I went in on a Saturday morning but soon more customers arrived, all of whom seemed to be regulars. It's unusual to find a 'village shop' in a pub in an urban setting such as this. A selection of excellent real ales was on offer, and the menu (up-market pub food) looks good.

| Wetherspoon's Golden Bee | Even the Wetherspoon's is half-timbered here. The inside has plain modern decor. It was very busy on a Saturday lunchtime, but the friendly staff provided quick service. Admirably, they've resisted the easy choice of a Shakespeare theme (The Falstaff, The Bard of Avon, etc. etc.), and named the pub after a cafe which formerly stood on the site.
