Solanche, Richard, and the team at The Royal Oak are proud to offer Michelin-starred dining at our village pub, between Shipston on Stour and Stratford upon Avon, on the edge of the Cotswolds.

Our menu celebrates terroir-driven, ‘proper country food,’ focusing on wild, seasonal ingredients. Our aim is simple: to tell the story of our community and the local producers we work with.The menu changes with the seasons, with some dishes lasting six weeks to highlight the peak of their season, while others may be available for just a week or even a single service—a fleeting, micro-seasonal snapshot. This approach supports sustainable land and woodland management, honours the natural balance of the land, and reflects our commitment to preserving it for future generations.

Excellent food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. As always, our most recent visit to The Red Lion was a great experience. The quality of food was excellent. Home made apple & parsnip soup, posh prawn cocktail and two plates of calves liver with bacon, bubble & squeak & tenderstem. All brilliant. Guest ale "Usual Suspects" really nice too. Don't delay, get down there today.
