   Another lovely dinner at The Stables. The food was good, the staff was attentive and the kitchen was timely. No complaints. Why not 5 stars? The 5th star for me, is earned by the wow factor. There wasn’t a wow factor this time, but a very enjoyable meal out with friends. I would absolutely go back and have done many times.

   Unable to review the food as after being seated at the table, was ignored by staff for 25 minutes as no food or drink order taken. Orders taken for several tables around me that had arrived and been seated later. Restaurant is in a beautiful setting with a reasonably priced menu, hopefully I'll get to order food the next time around.

   Food was good but a little over priced for quality. Lovely restaurant in a rather unlikely setting.

   Initially I was the only diner so it lacked atmosphere until others arrived. Staff were hard working and efficient but the main menu was very restricted from that online which was disappointing. Having said that though, I had a 10 oz rump which arrived small but thick like a fillet and combined with a lovely peppercorn sauce was one of the tastiest rumps steaks I had ever had. Cooked perfectly and with no fat, I unusually asked to speak to the chef to thank him! The meal was reasonable value although the accompaniments were a little small and boring and only helped by me adding a very nice cauliflower cheese. I had paid for a breakfast next morning which, while tasty was very small for the price and left me wanting more.

    The waiters were nice and very helpful. We were waiting for our dishes a bit longer than usual but it might be caused by the kitchen being overloaded by the wedding running next door. The food was delicious.

    Entered the building, staff pointed to a table. No welcome, no acknowledgement we were there, no offer to take a drinks order. Had to attract attention to place an order at all. By that time the staff seem to at least recognise we were not thrilled with the experience so far. Food took an age to arrive, it was OK. The excuse was they were busy, it seemed full but not overrun so that just suggests poor planning. The roast lamb was just about cooked and the portion size of veg with the fish was small, one small potato served. The food is very salty. The staff seemed pretty miserable going about their jobs. Needless to say we don’t plan to go back in a hurry.

    Food OK; unusual portions - slice of pate larger than the slice of toast to accompany it, overpowering gravy, dull desserts, how can you get a chocolate brownie wrong? Service not great - very slow, tables around us complaining too; staff seemed disinterested, forgot to remove our voucher when presenting the bill with no service charge, only to add s/c when removing the voucher. Paid it but it really wasn’t deserved.

    Different price for set menu when we got there. Manager says it takes a long time to change on Web site and OpenTable. We saw 4 different menus, website, OpenTable, entrance to restaurant and the table. No mint sauce, had to keep asking for things....horseradish, drinks and water, ask for order to be taken ages after having menus for ages. Bill overcharged by £60.

    My husband and I absolutely love Cantley. We got married here in September 2019, so we like to come here for our anniversary and have a meal. The food is outstanding and the wine is amazing. Would recommend to anyone who likes a romantic evening.

    We visited The Stables for Sunday Lunch and sat outside in the garden. The food and service was good however our experience was somewhat spoilt by several noisy unruly children running around in and out of the restaurant and it's a wonder that there were no accidents. I hope that the management spoke to the children's parents and asked them to control their children.

    Very limited menu on Sunday & minimum 2 courses, different to that on website. The 'nice' starters are classed as bar snacks so charged extra, and even then they were poor quality. The roast wasn't bad but equally nothing special, especially when you end up paying £22 for it. Believe it was the manager who served us & quite frankly he was rude & not accomodating in the slightest.

    We dined here in May on a Sunday evening and had a great experience so were keen to revisit when we had family to stay. Only 430 or 5pm was available to book online and I wrongly assumed it was full at later times. Apparently it is now booked out for Weddings on Sunday evening but we weren't aware on booking. Service was sporadic, eg ice and water ordered never arrived, we had to ask for the plates to be cleared and we were told at 530 that the kitchen was closed and it was unclear if we could order dessert. Bill was wrong when it arrived as it was for the table just leaving when we got there, plus another table had a complaint regarding allergies which was being dealt with. As we were by then the only table in the restaurant and there were 2 staff by the bar I'm really not sure why the service was so poor. 2 of the children's meals were lovely (fish goujons and burger) but the sausages came with the tiniest portion of mashed potato imaginable. They did provide more eventually when asked to be fair but we were first told the kitchen was closed and they couldn't do anything. After 10 mins they then came back to say they could help. One of the staff said he'd only been there a week so perhaps some training would be helpful. It would also be better to be clear when the kitchen closes on a Sunday evening. The roasts are beautiful with amazing gravy so would suggest going for Sunday lunch earlier in the day. Unfortunately disappointing on this occassion.

    Mm. Total twaddle. Waited an hour for starters, 30m for a drinks order. Service slow. Mgmt disinterested. Food avg. Decidedly avg. Best bits when a waiter asked me where my cutlery was (err, I hadn’t been given any) and him putting spoons down because we ‘were on desserts’. We’d ordered cheese. On the plus side, the metal barrier to the entrance meant we got a walk the long way round thru the Fawlty Towers hotel. Loads of potential this place. Zero chance of realising it.

    Travelled down from the North East to stay in the hotel and so got a table here quite late, just before the kitchen was due to close, but everyone was still more than happy to help, were friendly and the food was delicious.

    Went for dinner with friends - and the service and ambience was excellent. Food was lovely and tasty, but some of the portions were a little small. The burger was epic and truly gourmet but the lamb only Came with a small piece of vegetable (might have been sweet potato). Sticky toffee pudding was also delicious but on the small side.

    We had a lovely birthday meal in the courtyard last weekend. It was sunny when we sat down at 5.30pm, but quite cool in the courtyard, staff were very quick to offer blankets to everyone, and there was no shortage. The heaters were switched on about 7.45, although there weren't quite enough to cover every table. So long as you went prepared for eating outside it was fine. The staff were lovely, and we were not kept waiting for service at all. The food was very good, piping hot even though we were outside, they obviously served it quickly once it was ready. I did find the prices a little high, but the setting was lovely, staff were great, and the food delicious and slightly out of the ordinary. Cocktails were very good too! I would definitely recommend The Stables, whilst we are restricted to outside eating, i suggest eating early to avoid getting too cold, and bring a good coat!
