The touches of racing memorabilia spotted around the hotel demonstrate how proud we are to be situated next to the oldest racecourse in Britain. The impressive racing post mural in the bar takes you back to fabulous memories of race days. The subtle tones and modern twists give The Stables Bar and Grill the opportunity to embrace their history in a smart and contemporary way. We offer an eclectic menu of food and drink in an elegant setting overlooking the Welsh Hills.

    Waited to be seated- no apology Waited 25min for drinks no apology Asked for Diet Coke and got Pepsi max without being informed. Asked for water and didn’t receive it. Waited over an hr for food - no apology The phone kept ringing which wasn’t being answered so it was continuous and really annoying. We were celebrating my daughters graduation and staying at the hotel which was lovely, but this celebratory meal was so disappointing. If we stay at hotel again we will definitely not be eating there. The food was average, steak was over cooked when asked for medium, not given a proper steak knife so made it difficult to eat. Overall it was disappointing and unpleasant. It definitely was not worth the money

    Lovely calm, relaxing ambience at The Stables restaurant. Friendly, efficient staff, comfortable seating. Our mushroom bruchetta starter was delicious. Really mushroomy. My husband's Steakhouse sirloin was cooked exactly as requested, the flavour of the steak excellent. The dish was very good indeed. My Nourish Bowl salad with added hot grilled chicken breast was most enjoyable, the ingredients worked so well together. I would also recommend the non-alcoholic lime & mint mojito 'mocktail'. So refreshing.

    Had an early table booked for 4.45 and didn’t realise it was not the main menu. However, Roberto was quick to speak to the chef and we ate off the main menu as requested. Food was fabulous and service was excellent. Nice view of the Welsh mountains too!

    We ordered 2 steaks medium rare and fish goujons on the children's menu. Our steaks were overcooked. The waiter was very unfriendly. I asked for sirloin and salad instead of fries. I got fries anyway and when I tried to send them back I was told to just eat them. Not a nice experience for my birthday weekend at all.

    Reason for us booking we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, we had had our wedding reception at this hotel. The food was very average wouldn't rush back and one of the waiters chewing gum as he was approaching wasn't great although they were friendly.

    I booked the venue for Mother’s Day, we had to wait 55 minutes for the first course to come out, with young children this was frustrating. The room temperature was also too cold - we had to keep our coats on. Others in the room were the same. The food itself was ok, can’t fault the food to be fair but it was over priced for the quality served. The staff were friendly & helpful. The Resturant wasn’t busy at 12pm, we were the only ones there for the first 30/40 minutes. I won’t be booking again.

Our number one goal is to exceed guest’s expectations every time they visit our restaurants. We are sorry that clearly on this occasion we have failed to meet our goal. I would hope you will in future visit us again in order to allow us an opportunity to change your mind. Regards, Roberto Gencarelli, Restaurant Manager

    Plenty of food choice. Some of the cooked breakfast could be warmer. We booked a table. Was disappointed no one there to greet us in arrival and waited 10 minutes before a lady clearing tables came to check room number and show us to a table

    Only 3 tables booked for the restaurant on New Year’s Eve, all 3 required the manager/head chef to attend the tables. Whilst it should be noted there was a large party in the main room with over 400 people, however if high quality service could not be provided to all customers, then don’t take the booking. The manager did, to his credit, give us free deserts and a drink each, to rectify the issues which I won’t go into as he sorted them and was really nice, however the waiter would not take a meal off the bill and then got in a mood when I asked for the 10%service to taken off the bill. He screwed up the receipt and threw it at the bar. Then slammed the new receipt on our table. Couldn’t wait to get out, never felt so uncomfortable. Will not be coming back.
