We were traveling home after quite a long journey so decided to stop and eat en route. I booked online and was able to get a table for the right time. There was a warm welcome as usual and the staff are friendly.

Great looking pub and plenty of space between tables. BUT ordered our drinks, waitresses came back they didn’t have one. . Ordered our main meals, waitresses came back didn’t have one meal and ordered our desserts, you guessed it, the waitresses came back and they didn’t have one!!! Suggested a discount, didn’t get one!! So if you go, before reading menu I would ask if there was anything not availabl!!!

We have been many times before and had a good roast dinner, today's was distinctly below average, no Onion relish with pate starter, no stuffing with roast dinner, stuffing was bought out after but seemed deep fried Just poor.

Lovely staff. Greeted on arrival and seated. Drinks order taken quickly. Food ordered and arrived in reasonable time. Only minor issue was food was a little cold and the belly pork should have been cooked slightly more as it was very fatty. The bill was reduced to compensate for our disappointment. Shame as the staff are excellent and couldn’t be more friendly and professional.

Both me and my husband had the Roast with the trio of meats, the 3 cuts of meat were very generous, there was stuffing, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, parsnips, cabbage and gravy I was given 4 large roast potatoes which I could not eat, the food was delicious. I had the cheeseboard which had a great selection of cheeses and my husband had the mixed berry crumble with custard which he said was delicious. I would definitely go back.

The food was different to how it is normally served. The veg was on the plate instead of in a separate bowl and I could distinguish green beans but no id a what the other stuff was. It was 'okay' but nothing special for the price. Disappointed

My friend and I had lunch at the Stables. Great welcome, attentive service, and we both enjoyed our food choices. The fish and chips were particularly good apparently and I especially liked the coffee. Well done to all involved.

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.
