The story
No 44 Brasserie on The Waterside serves Modern British cuisine in Stratford-upon-Avon at The Arden Hotel. The kitchen operates with clear ambition, evidenced by its two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. Diners encounter a menu built around seasonal British produce and straightforward technique. The focus remains firmly on ingredient quality and consistent execution.
Modern British dining here relies on familiar foundations elevated through careful preparation. The menu shifts with the calendar to highlight local harvests and river-fresh selections. Chefs balance rich comfort food with lighter, garden-inspired plates. Every dish aims to deliver honest flavour without unnecessary complexity.
The restaurant occupies a quiet corner along the towpath, offering views of the water and passing boats. During warmer months, the space extends outdoors for alfresco meals under the sun. Guests choose between the sheltered interior or the breezy terrace depending on the weather. The layout encourages unhurried lunches and relaxed evening suppers.
