The Stables — Restaurant in England

Wanted to try the carvery here for a while as heard good reviews and the food was lovely however service was not! We arrived 15 mins early to our booking to be greeted by an abrupt staff member who told us our table wasn’t ready and we would have to wait downstairs (absolutely fine but they could have said it in a nicer tone) we then came back upstairs after 15 mins to be told ‘your tables over there in the corner’ we sat down and nobody came over to us to tell us the protocol so we went up to get our carvery. Staff obviously saw us standing and waiting to which we were then approached by a staff member who said it’s not ready for you yet. How is a carvery not ready? You go up and get your food when you’re ready surely? So we went back to our table and waited a further 15 mins. At this point I assumed we had been forgotten about. A staff member saw me looking around and came over and said we’re ready for you now. Meanwhile others tables were going up and getting there second helpings of food. Although, a staff member did say is everything ok for you (a positive!) to which I replied yes (I was half way through eating and just wanted to finish). Didn’t even get a pudding as didn't want to spend any more money. Wanted to leave as soon as we had finished quite frankly. Probably won’t be returning which is a shame as the food...

A really nice and unpretentious place to eat, recently refurbed, offering great tasting food at really good prices. They offer a delicious carvery on a Sunday for £10, and a great value and fab tasting menu at other times including delicious 2 for 1 options. Tonight we had two lovely meals for £10, which was brilliant value. The gammon slice was so tasty and big in size, with home cooked style chips, two fried eggs and peas, working out at £5 for the meal. Can't argue with that. Nice ales on tap too. Definitely recommend. Also last but not least, I must make mention of the most attentive and pleasant waitress who was serving...

What s fantastic choice for lunch it was!! The place is quirky, dive up really well. It's charming how the rickety floor and the beans are kept. Loved it! The food was great! The spiced chicken was coined to perfection, the sausage and mash was great, the lasagne was delicious and the triple cooked chips really tasty. Although I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken, I was quite jelous when I saw someone being served their fish and chips! Highly recommended! We got stuck into our food straight away, so no pictures. And just one more thing, it's quite unbelievable that there is still a place that serves all the great pub classics at...
