Situated on the waterside of the river Avon in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the pub has two names - the older is The Black Swan but the new name originated from the American GIs that camped over the river in the Second World War.
Called in for a drink Sunday afternoon ended up eating. Pub was busy but still felt relaxed. Food came out quickly to say how busy it was. Steak was cooked well and the dripping gravy was delicious. Seafood risotto (see pic) Salmon perfectly cooked with lovely crispy skin. Wouldn't necessarily say it was a risotto but more a bed of rice but very tasty. Great choice on menu.
Haven't been since the refurb. Decoration is excellent, and the steak and ale pie did not disappoint. They're clearly going for a more "gastropub" vibe than a traditional pub, as the little cabaret-style tables and chairs are gone, as larger tables for meals have been installed.
A lovely pub, slightly off the beaten track, a good drinks range, a comfortable interior, with a beer garden out the back. The front terrace overlooks the river Avon, and has a Mulberry tree as it's centrepiece.
Not sure how I feel about this pub, great location, interior and atmosphere, good selection of beer on tap and bottled. Food was average, nothing special for the price. I had the vegan burger and friend had the pork.
Visited today around 2pm for lunch. Staff were fantastic - really friendly and helpful. Pictured is the seafood risotto and garlic bread. I really enjoyed the meal! Great location, parking right outside and good views of the river. Even dog friendly! Really lovely place and I’ll certainly be visiting again
