Edward Moon
9 Chapel Street
Stratford-Upon-Avon CV37 6EP

Date of Last Visit: Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

The Victims: Gerry, Ben

The Damage: £20ish each?

The Background: We've planned a little field trip. We've never been to Stratford-upon-Avon, so we take the train in and check out Shakespeare's birthplace and the Nash house and then we start to construct our own little pub crawl of Straford-upon-Avon.

But first, some lunch. We really don't know where we're going, but we've got a Let's Go or a Lonely Planet or something and I've got Google Maps--I'm becoming increasingly reliant on the "Search Nearby" feature, where you bring up the map of your location, and then ask Google to show you all the restaurants nearby--and all signs point to Edward Moon.

The Entrance: It's not a pub but it's not a restaurant. I suppose it's a bit more pubby. We're shown a table by the windows with a view of the parade set-up. (Later, we'll march in that parade. Sort of.)

The Food: Roast chicken for me and for Ben and it's nice. Just nice. I'm fine with it, really. OK, maybe it's a little bit better than nice. But just a little bit. You can see that it was served with both broccoli AND mushrooms. The sauce totally masked the mushrooms and I didn't even notice them. A good thing.

The Loos: Eh. Could have been cleaner.

The Verdict: As a touristy meal in a touristy town, we could have done worse. This was just fine.
