Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Food was fine but I couldn't find any samphire in with my sea bass. I felt cold; has the heating been turned off.

The food and service was good. What stopped us in our tracks was the expensive bill...! This will teach us to think twice before going to The Stables.....

No one read my special request message, food was very cold and we had to wait ages after we ordered our food. When I told someone about my food they took mine away but left my partner so a meal for two became for one because by the time mine came back out my partner had finished his meal.

Food was nicely presented and nothing wrong with it other than just being a bit lack lustre and lacking flavour. We had a pizza that was really overloaded and the chunks of chicken were too big and the bacon fatty. A belly pork dish that mostly consisted of fat. A sandwich that just wasn’t very tasty and fish and chips with lovely fish and just general chips. As I said nothing wrong just a bit meh. Service was outstanding, lovely, friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble.

Good fabulous. The vegetables came out with no spoons to serve it so we all had to use our forks. Which we had already put in our mouths so a little unhealthy. The cauliflower cheese was forgotten so we had to ask again for it. But lovely once arrived

Good food, though we did have to wait a while and go to the bar to order, but that was partly our fault for not deciding when they came to take the order initially

Sadly this was not a good dining experience. Having eaten at The Stables on many occasions this was so disappointing . 7 of us booked for a family meal to celebrate 2 upcoming birthdays and at least 4 of the meals were awful. The belly pork was all fat, my grandsons pizza was soggy, my granddaughters Mac & cheese was swimming in grease ( way too much cheese) and her garlic bread was charred. The chips that all of us had were over cooked and hard . It was not a busy Thurs night and service was slow . No staff member came to check if our food was Ok. The best bit of the evening was when I complained at the point of payment and they did actually give me a discount on the bill ! Just yuk! Don’t know what’s going on in their kitchen but they need to sort it out! Won’t be back anytime soon I am afraid!

2 of our party of 4 were delayed by traffic diversions and the staff were very understanding. We had a gluten free, a vegan and a vegetarian in our party and all were well catered for with excellent food.

Great positioning of table in line with request at time of booking. Took too long for first server to come to the table. Most of the food was really good. The vegetable pie came without roasted potatoes and was tasteless. The custard with deserts was almost cold.
