    Visiting Stratford for first time since a year ago when we first tried The Opposition. It was so good then that we had to eat there again this time. It was just as good as we remember. A really excellent bistro.

    I went to The Opposition with my boyfriend, and we both had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service was warm and attentive. My boyfriend even said it was one of the best restaurants he’s ever been to. A perfect spot for a special evening in Stratford-upon-Avon 🫶🏼

    Very good menu great choice especially the Specials. Only comment to remark is on the Chips with the steak , whereby we asked if they were home made , and advised yes however they were not. We would recommend this restaurant & will return
