   We asked for an accessible table and received one - much appreciated, thanks. Great service, two attentive hosts, both of whom maintained their interest in us, even after we had paid the bill and tipped. Lovely food, well-cooked. As a vegetarian, I appreciated the choice of meals available. I wanted to ‘mix and match’ my dessert and it was done readily and smoothly. This is one of our ‘go to’ restaurants when we visit Stratford upon Avon and cannot recommend it highly enough.

   I have never had a bad meal or time at the Opposition. The staff are attentive and for pre - theatre the food is provided quickly and efficiently leaving plenty of time to get to the RSC. If you want a quiet meal best go over after theatre goers have left but we have had an equally great time and food.

   My favourite place to eat in Stratford: the food is always excellent; the staff are friendly, efficient & get your meal sorted speedily(I’m always eating before going to the theatre); and it’s convenient to get to theatre. Also it’s usually possible to find a parking space in Sheep Street — what’s not to like!

   We regularly visit The Oppo when we go to the theatre. Always very satisfied with the food and service - it's why we come back.

    This was a really excellent pre-theatre meal. We were eating with old friends, one of whom had eaten at 'The Oppo' on many occasions. He, like us, was delighted at the meal and the fact that he felt the standard was as high as ever. Great food, served in plenty of time but not too quickly, really well cooked and hot, served on hot plates too. The restaurant was really busy (always a good sign!) and yet didn't feel crowded - in fact there was a really nice 'buzz'. All the staff were very attentive and friendly and it started our evening off in perfect fashion. Many thanks and see you again 😊
