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!

A warm welcome, organised, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Cozy and warm. Excellent food (king prawn with peri-peri sauce as a starter, chicken with lime and melon for mains - can recommend both) paired with a smooth Gavi d’ Gavi that “flicked the nose”. Will be back - regularly.

We had a wonderful small birthday celebration lunch. The team of staff serving were excellent friendly and helpful. Care was taken to select a nice table as requested, although it’s not so hard as all tables are good. We were greeted with happy birthday ! Food menu is varied from burgers to mains and all our selected meals could not have been bettered . The mussels were amazing! My steak was beautifully cooked to rare and the fish was also excellent. Interesting range of wines also available. I recommend this restaurant as something special which is always consistently excellent.

Staff were great and didn’t pressure us for orders - we were too busy chatting ha ha but they were very patient and polite. A warm welcome from them too. Good customer service and staff are becoming a rare breed - so please thank your staff for their great service. Food was super too and no raised eyebrows when my friend and I decided to share starter and pudding. I haven’t been to Vintner for many years and it lived up to expectations! Thank you !
