    Love this place. The food is always gorgeous, the pre-theatre menu is excellent value and the staff are great. I particularly enjoyed the venison.

    Another lovely meal at the Opposition . Nothing to fault. Lovely service (they even brought in a special request for my wife), great food, nice ambience. I’ve never been disappointed and last night was no exception.

    We booked this delightful little bistro for a pre theatre meal and it didn’t disappoint. The set menu was great value for money and the food was delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive, but not overly so. Would highly recommend

    What a treat. We’ve been to Stratford many times over the years, and we never miss the opportunity to dine at the Oppo. It’s a charming restaurant with reliably delicious food and wonderful staff.
