The Crown at Tiddington

Head out towards Tiddington and you'll find yourself in proper Warwickshire countryside—the kind that actually feels removed from the RSC crowds and tour coaches on Bridge Street. The Crown sits right on Main Street, a traditional pub that takes its food seriously without any of the self-consciousness you sometimes get in Stratford proper. Real ales rotate through, the kitchen sources locally, and there's a genuine warmth to how they treat regulars and visitors alike. It's the sort of place where you can sink a pint and a proper meal without feeling like you're performing for anyone.
