Chef De Partie

Situated in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, The Woodsman Restaurant offers a traditional approach to contemporary British cooking in comfortable and convivial surroundings. We work with the seasons and source our ingredients from the bountiful English countryside as sustainably as possible. We love using wild food, and harvest much of it ourselves. All the meat on our menus is ‘nose to tail’ so the menu is ever changing, and we waste nothing.

But not only is our food impressive, our surroundings are too. Dating back to 1500, our beautiful Grade II listed building was used as an Inn between 1655 to 1661 and played host to The Royal Shakespeare Club’s annual dinner from as early as 1824. The next chapter in this buildings rich history takes it back to its roots, creating a heritage dining experience where comfort and conviviality are key.
