It has been years since I went to Stratford. I am planning an afternoon there soon. I have done quite a few pubs there but I wasn't really keeping track back then.
The micropub is top of my list but I am open to suggestions for the rest.
Cheers,
Del.

Indeed, although I thought the White Swan to be very good in its (diametrically opposite) way.

I went with none real drinking mates visit for a lads day out on 17/02/2018 and I can't comment on quality of ale, they generally were a good range of pubs not weird stuff places to go in for a tour around the town to just tick. This was a pint based visit so may not got to as many places as you may and there was 8 of us and a return train back to Brum for more drinks about 7pm iirc. I wanted to head towards back street pubs on way back to station but democratic vote saw me over ruled as we had to wait for a late arriver to meet us. They are probably shit hence me wanting to go in them based on location.

Stratford Central Warwickshire Pen & Parchment*(Bridgefoot,*CV37 6YY)
Stratford Central Warwickshire Red Lion*(1 Warwick Road,*CV37 6YW)
Stratford Central Warwickshire Cox's Yard*(Bridgefoot,*CV37 6YY)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Garrick Inn*(25 High Street,*CV37 6AU)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Queens Head*(54 Ely Street,*CV37 6LN) x2
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Windmill Inn (Church Street,*CV37 6HD)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Dirty Duck (Black Swan)*(Waterside,*CV37 6BA)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Golden Bee (JDW) (41-42 Sheep Street,*CV37 6EE)
Stratford Central Warwickshire Rose & Crown, The*(15 Sheep Street,*CV37 6EF)

I then returned for a canal boat holiday on 01/04/2018 and went to these places after dropping the boat back the afternoon/early evening. Similar story to above but different mates.

Stratford Central Warwickshire The Stratford Alehouse (12B Greenhill Street, CV37 6LF)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Old Thatch Tavern*(Greenhill Street,*CV37 6LE)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The Lamplighter (Rother Street,*CV37 6LP)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The White Swan Hotel*(Rother Street,*CV37 6NH)
Stratford Central Warwickshire The One Elm (1 Guild Street,*CV37 6QZ)

All good for me to be happy with.

From memory a few of these are GK so you may want to avoid or not. I've no bias but looking at rpadam above we seem to have ended up in the same pubs and he scores them well.
