Prospero - Stratford-upon-Avon

We waited 45 minutes for our starters, and we even had to send one back twice! In the end, we spent an hour and a half there, and my partner hadn't eaten anything. We were then informed that our main courses would take another 10 minutes, so we decided to leave. It appeared that many other tables had similar experiences. The staff were very apologetic and didn't charge us for the starters or drinks, but overall, it was a disappointing experience. We ended up going to Veeno around the corner, where we received excellent service and food! Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

We were the only customers in the restaurant, yet we still waited 30 minutes for our appetizers and an additional 30 minutes for our main courses. The service was too slow, and the prices were too high.

What a hidden gem this restaurant is, tucked away in a not-so-great area in the heart of Stratford. The welcome, service, and food were truly outstanding. Katy and her staff are attentive and friendly hosts. I tried the duck, which was perfectly cooked (still pink inside) and was the best dish I've had in a restaurant in years. We were informed that our meals would take some time since everything is made from scratch—which we could definitely tell—and we were pleasantly surprised by complimentary nibbles while we waited. My friends had lamb and sea bream, and they loved their meals as well. It’s unfortunate that Prospero had full bookings but many people didn’t show up or canceled. This restaurant truly deserves a place among the top dining spots in Stratford.

Best place to eat in Stratford, so good amazing lamb and duck. Brilliant service, had a really brilliant time

Had an amazing meal with my partner on Saturday evening. The main courses were divine with us sampling the duck and the pork. By far the best main courses we have had for a long time. Really glad we chose to dine here.
