Best Lunch Restaurants in Stratford

Good food and good service. Will recommend to friends.

Outstanding food, service, ambiance. Classic British food, nose to tail, simply but exquisitely prepared. We started with olives and roasted bone marrow, a favourite we order whenever possible, and this was the best we’ve ever had. Accompanying parsley salad was flavourful crunchy and fresh, perfect accompaniment along sourdough toast. For mains we shared grey mullet, grilled shorthorn, white asparagus, green salad and a sublime braised mutton. Everything was superb and we were quite full but couldn’t resist dessert. Both the lemon posset and date loaf with butterscotch sauce were incredible and we ate every last bit. Service was low key excellent and very helpful as we ordered wine by the glass having over imbibed over the weekend and server recommendations were perfect.

We got the roast, the chicken one looked a bit anaemic but the beef was tasty. Live music playing which was a nice atmosphere. There were some dogs allowed in which didn’t bother us. Service was great in the beginning and then after we asked for the dessert menu, we never saw the server again .

Was welcomed and greeted very courteously. Offered an intimate place to sit. The restaurant was incredibly quiet with minimal staff. The host was incredibly lazy as they had said I needed to attend the bar for 2 4 1. As someone with accessibility needs (non visible), this was overwhelming. With my partner leading and me giving positive self-talk and meditating/calming techniques, I placed an order in which the bar host (black) set the standard and also offered/asked what we liked and encouraged recommended options. (High standard of customer service, and also brought the drinks to our table). This is the reason for an overall pleasant review. The food was ordered quickly, and the waiter was attentive, understanding, and also alerted a 10 min countdown to when the bar closed. My partner ordered the Big Easy version of a Seafood boil bag (bring gloves, though, like I did). He wanted a larger portion but thoroughly enjoyed it with his sides calamari and creamy mash. However, I had the popcorn shrimp, chicken tenders (incredibly seasoned) with sweet potato fries, and both starters came with side sauces. I will definitely return on a Thursday as I love the steak and lobster combo deal. Every day between Monday - Thursday there's a deal. Every day us happy hour ALL DAY. Highly recommended for dates, anniversary, birthday parties, Hen Party/Stag Do (responsible) Christmas meals or any other occasion. I will be back after commuting more than 5 hours, thanks to the Big Easy Crew as a whole. Had a boozy time and went home with a goody bag (leftovers).

Pleasantly surprised! Enjoyed the food, cocktails and cakes. The service was a bit slow as in not asking if we wanted a drink or the bill for a very long time! But we got our food quickly so didn’t take away from the experience. I’ll definitely be back
