On our post-pub tour of Stratford
upon Avon’s beer festival, our first stop was Cox’s Yard. It was formerly known
as the Lazy Cow but a new generation of owners have restored it to its former
state as a live entertainment venue as well as a pub with a superb timber patio.
It’s a perfect tourist spot opposite the river, while a barn allows for private
dining and other functions. It’s the ultimate stop venue; but it’s a shame that
it’s so full of tourists. The bar staff seemed to be foreign and seemed to be
wearing sportswear which I thought gave no respect to the venue at all. They
were also totally ignorant about the Cask Marque Ale trail, and the beers
themselves were pricey. It wasn’t a bad beer and it was a novelty to have a
London beer in the middle of Stratford, but I hope that’s not just there to fulfil
someone’s portfolio of a British beer.
