• Bastardo's

    an illegitimate neighbourhood trattoria

    celebrating the best of British and Italian seasonal produce

  • Welcome to Riccardo Bastardo’s, a relaxed yet sophisticated Italian trattoria in the heart of Shipston on Stour. We blend the finest sustainable British ingredients with the rich flavours of Italy, offering a dining experience that’s both delicious and responsible.

    Curated by chef Richard Craven, whose passion for Italian cuisine was shaped during the first seven years of his career at both an Italian-owned hotel in Chipping Campden and an Italian brasserie. Led by John Broughton, previously Head Chef at the Michelin-starred Royal Oak in Whatcote. Every dish is crafted with care. We proudly use locally sourced, ethically produced ingredients from Britain and the best of Italy to ensure the highest quality in every meal.

    At Bastardo’s, we invite you to enjoy exceptional food in a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where culinary excellence and sustainability come together seamlessly.
