Enjoy the very best of British food in relaxed, contemporary and stylish surroundings with stunning panoramic views from the third floor of the Royal Shakespeare Company's theatres in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Our informal yet striking dining room is unlike any other in the Midlands, with a terrace looking out onto the River Avon and surrounding countryside – the perfect spot for summer eating and drinking al fresco.
To complement the views, a simply prepared and beautifully cooked menu sits comfortably alongside a wine list packed with the best the Old and New World have to offer.
You don't need to see a show to eat at the Rooftop Restaurant, just an appetite.

We love this restaurant but sadly my choice of food (vegetable stew and greens was so salty that I could not eat the greens. Please allow customers to decide the salt content! I did mention this to our very friendly Australian waitress on returning the item. Otherwise good food.

Once again a delicious pre-theatre supper with a very good selection of cocktails to help start the evening. The restaurant is well organised, efficient and very good. Wonderful venue with a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit to complete an evening with Mr. Shakespeare!

Spent an enjoyable Nee Years Eve pre-theatre dinner here with a table of five people. Service was fabulous, Even though it was pre theatre we didn’t feel rushed although we allowed two hours. Food was very good, 3 people pescatarian (non meat eaters, only fish) but the menu catered well for this. Would highly recommend.
