Groupon deal at Riverbank Restaurant and Bar - Stratford-upon-Avon

Thought I would give a quick review on our visit to the Riverbank Restaurant and Bar which we visited on our weekend away in Stratford-upon-Avon.

We ate here through the Groupon deal for £18 which included nibbles, 2 starters and 2 main courses. We had Selection of deli breads with balsamic and olive oil dressing & Oven roasted garlic bread with extra virgin olive oil for nibbles, then we went on to have Crispy beef, oriental vegetables, sesame seed dressing and soy sauce for starters, the boyf had Tandoori marinated chicken supreme with pesto fettuccini & I had Salmon fillet with potato and vegetables for mains and they were all very nice!

We were too full to try the desserts. The food was excellent but the restaurant wasn't very busy and it was a little cold but this was a very cold Feburary night so I think its probably buzzing in spring & summer. We would definitely visit again! Check out the picture of my lovely Salmon fillet :) I will post some more pictures of our weekend in another post.

Although we are very lucky and find good deals to eat at nice places unfortunately sometimes we do get a bit of 'mehh' experience and I think the one disappointing experience that springs to mind for 2011 was Bar 44.


We had 6 dishes between two on a Groupon offer but it wasnt very good, the highlight were the nachos, the service was naff, the place was empty on a Saturday afternoon, one of the dishes we wanted (Calamari or prawns I think) was not available and the tapas wasn't great so I don't think ill be back on my next visit to Leamington Spa as there are loads of other places which must be nicer!
