   Can't believe there was no coke no lemonade. Had to decide what dessert you wanted when you ordered carvery plus dessert, before you even ate. Carvery is next to ladies toilet. Layout for queuing needs attention. This used to be our favourite place for Sunday lunch. Sorry won't be going again.

   The food was pretty good. The pig in blanket was over done, one member of staff on when we turned up and their booking system was down. No syrup in the Pepsi and no one asked if we were ordering food. The value was great and a help yourself carvery is always nice but it felt a bit shambolic that day. They were on the back foot and weren’t ready for when the punters started pouring in which happened quite quickly. It’s a pretty good roast dinner

   It was lovely, was quiet when I was there but the service was attentive and warm. Food was lovely and would definitely be visiting again. They accommodated dietary requests and fussy-ness if that counts. Thanks for the lovely meal!

   The staff were nice and friendly, even had a laugh with the waitress, service was a bit slow, the food was okay but not something I’d write home about and expensive for what it was, the room was cold and only had a small fan heater warming a large area. Will most probably come back but won’t necessarily rush.

   First time at the stables , and last! Food was absolutely awful , couldn't even cut the meat it was so tough Stood for ages in the que , hardly any veg left, no sauces , and hardly any gravy , which tasted of salt! They clearly couldn't cope with the amount of people.

   “Absolutely amazing experience! I came on Valentine’s Day without a booking, and despite it being a busy night, the new manager kindly accommodated us. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was just perfect. We had such a great night that I had to come back today and book just to leave this review! Huge shoutout to Woody for creating such a fantastic vibe and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Well done to the whole team—can’t wait to come back again!”

    Been here many times over the years but Unfortunately this time wasn't plesent at all, was told there was everything available on the menu, asked for a child's meal to be a adults was told the staff member wasn't confident in the kitchen so no, so ordered the food that come was missing 1 lunch however we was brought something else instead of what the menu stated then the missing plate arrived 10mins later, which was what originally was on the menu. We complained to the only front of house member available, to which we was told alert whom then went into the kitchen & was rude to the kitchen staff. We asked to speak to a manager to be told NO. Since then I've wrote an email & had no reply. I will not be returning.
