The Blue Lias Inn - Stratford-on-Avon

We had an unexpectedly great visit to the restaurant. We initially tried to go to the Boat, but were greeted by a unfriendly woman who told us it was closed. We drove a few miles and found the lias instead. It was a lovely and unassuming place with the best steak pie we've ever had! The staff were warm and friendly, and there was none of the strange 'locals only' vibe that we had encountered before. Bravo to this restaurant.

A delightful meal, sitting watching the canal boats, in the sunshine. The food was good; the staff were friendly and helpful. We were able to leave our car on the car park whilst we walked our dogs along the tow path.

Setting along the canal fabulous. Selection of rolls/sandwiches abit basic, need more variety. Tuna mayo roll tasty. Didn't find staff very helpful, abit abrupt (maybe the heat), couldn't bring salt and pepper to your table, get it yourself from the bar. Couldn't have lemon lime in a pint glass, no ice creams in ice cream fridge (told wouldnt sell them as end of summer) Disappoint with the staffs' attitude.

We visited as we walked along the canal. We found the snacks to be quite basic and a little bit expensive, however, the staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. Beautiful garden with amazing hanging baskets!

We stayed here this weekend in our motorhome at the back of the pub wouldn’t return, we were on pitch 9 by the gate entrance to the pub it’s like the m6 people in and out and people not even on the camp site just roaming around walking right by the door to my motorhome very inconsiderate and badly ran by the owners…no security any billy can walk walk round and that was quite apparent also not necessary the owners issues but they should be controlling it , full of geese the grass is full off geese poo literally covered…we went to the pub for a drink Saturday afternoon queue of 15+ at the bar with one serving, we went back Saturday evening for some food the menu is beyond basic, we went for the chicken balti tasted like a bowl of vinegar orders chips it’s french fries so why not put french fries on the menu , all the dishes come with french fries the food is far better at Wetherspoons ….doesn’t seem very well run as a pub or campsite to be honest just after the £s as cheap as they can get definitely wouldn’t return here! Campy site was £64.00 for two nights overpriced not worth it, food was almost £50..00 just get a takeaway it would be far nice and cost less
