THE OFFICERS MESS

Obviously, very nostalgic on the 1940’s a blend of what is probably the best cocktails in the county, an amazing variety of Guest Stars and live performance shows, together with some high-spirited DJ-played, jazz music. What more for the perfect recipe, for a great night out?

Our ambiance is unique too!

The bar, a distressed Tudor gem in the heart of Stratford’s historic centre, packed with WW2 memorabilia, could have just come out of a Black and White movie. Bar staff dressed in the forties, young officers of all sorts and all kinds, hanging out for a night to remember, as if there is no-tomorrow. Ready for anything and everything as life cannot be postponed and must be enjoyed while it lasts. Cocktail Mixologists with their shakers, their mixers and their shot glasses trying to sell their exotic creations in an unmistakable déjà vu approach. Ladies, dressed to kill, assessing their prey while Billie Holiday in the background is trying to convince everybody that “she’s got her love to keep her warm”. Magic, sheer magic!

And our Music? The best songs, meticulously selected from every part of the Empire, wake up memories and bring back fond stories of a past that’s may be gone, but never forgotten. Our Drinks lists and Food Menus are great too! Only too aware that Food and Drinks constitute pleasures of life, we are suggesting items to remember, and talk about to all your friends.
