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.

The pub was very busy when we visited, and our order got “sidelined” but we were offered a complimentary drink in compensation- the food when it did arrive was of good quality and even the small Portion meal I ordered was too much for me . Overall a good experience.
