Marstons One is 90 at the Golden Bee, Stratford upon Avon

Considering the character of Stratford upon Avon, you might argue that a Wetherspoons is just too much in terms of a chain, but if you look around the town there’s actually very little in the way of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. The pub itself blends in just right with the rest of the town, as it’s disguised in a typical timber-framed merchant’s house; not too dominant from the outside but takes up a fairly large plot owing to its many walls and entrances that it has. Like many of the businesses in this street, it must have had to knock through a few buildings but it’s surprising light in here. There’s plenty of snugs and small rooms at the front; while a large dining lounge occupies the rear just before the bar. It’s even smuggled in a rear beer garden. Drinks are reasonable; but food is the key seller here and expect to pay tourist prices and have a fair wait to be served.
