Perched in the heart of Shottery, the Bell pub is a firm favourite with locals (or Stradfordians, as they're known). This cosy and charming inn has been standing proud for hundreds of years, with some believing it has been around since the early 1700s. Just a short jaunt from Anne Hathaway's Cottage and a hop, skip, and sonnet away from Shakespeare's birthplace, the Bell is a place where visitors, locals, and even their four-legged friends can enjoy the quitissential British pub experience. Whether you've been treading the cobbles of Henley Street, taking in the grandeur of Holy Trinity Church (where the Bard himself rests), or catching a show at the RSC, there's no better place to refuel and swap stories than right here. With proper grub, a cracking selection of drinks, and a warm welcome that's as steady as the River Avon, the Bell is a staple pub in Stratford.
