    First time I have been back here in years and just not the same. The food quality is not what it used to be, in fact a million miles away. I won’t be returning, was one such a great place to eat out.

    Great service and food. The staff were friendly and helpful. I was eating alone and was concerned how I’d feel, not having experienced this in a restaurant. I needn’t have worried, it was fine. The food was lovely, well prepared and tasty. There was a good selection to choose from and the specials - salmon, cod and plaice were all tempting. I had the cod, which was delicious. I can recommend the strawberry cheesecake brownie, too. I had a lovely meal. I can recommend The Opposition and I’d eat here again if I return to Stratford.

    Simply one of the finest, if not the actual finest restaurant in Stratford upon Avon. Great staff, great food, what more could you want?

    From entering the Opposition our experience was wonderful. We were celebrating my friends birthday and she was greeted by a lovely lady who wished her happy birthday. We were seated quickly and left with enough time to look at the menu and order drinks. Service was great friendly and not rushed. The restaurant was busy which was lovely to see, the lady and gentleman who both served us were friendly and we had a little laugh and joke with the chap. Great food and a lovely experience overall. Will be back. Thank you.

    Food was extremely good. Great selections, played nicely. Service was seamless as they truly operated as a team and anticipated one’s needs. Great place to go, especially if you are considering going to the theatre following.
