Excellent service, food quality and great value, as we had the “smaller appetite” option which was perfectly adequate for us over 50s! £12 a head with a drink and tip is hard to beat these days!

A last-minute booking for my birthday and this visit to the Stables turned into a really lovely treat. The service was exceptional; our duck breast was cooked to perfection and the berry strudel was exquisite...just didn't want the evening to end! Thank you to all at the Stables...we'll definitely be back :)

Staff work extremely hard as the restaurant was very busy. Food very good. We like having a smaller portion. The only other point we would make was that the desserts sold out quickly.
