I came here last sunday for sunday lunch with my family as recommended by one of my friends. The place was surprisingly small but very homely. It was pretty cold when we arrived but it soon warmed up once we started eating. The staff are extremely friendly, sometimes over friendly but that makes it great service! waiter come over to...

This restaurant is a converted house (or perhaps two) and was certainly very popular on the night I went with 6 workmates (Friday) so a booking is probably advisable. It was a little cold when we got there as we were one of the first to arrive but it soon warmed up. The owner certainly made every effort to welcome... More

We would not have gone to the Stables View restaurant had it not been for the reviews on here as its a tricky little place to find. I am so glad we made the effort to go as the whole experience was wonderful. We were made very welcome by the owners as soon as we walked in, they were attentive... More

Went to The Stables View for a meal last night. Admittedly whilst I was looking forward to it my husband had to be convinced. But after going there's only one word to describe the food/staff/atmosphere - AMAZING and that's agreed by both of us. I'm absolutely certain that we will visit again soon and I'm sure that anyone else going... More

Eaten there several times and it has been wonderful everytime. The food is superb and the sticky toffee pudding is scrumptious. We eat out a lot and the Stables has become our favourite place to eat. Would highly recommend it and I am sure that no one will go away disapointed.

I've visited the stables several times, every time has been absolutely brilliant. The service has never faltered with the owner going above and beyond to be accommodating! I like the arrangement of a sitting room where you are seated on sofas in front of a roaring log burner where your drinks order is then taken and brought to you with... More
