"We live locally and have heard great things, so we thought we give it a try and booked a table for my birthday celebrations on a Sunday 6 August. What we heard was true! Great food we all had different dishes to include Sunday Roast, all of which were delicious and fantastically presented even the children's pizza which were huge! Wonderful ambience, very relaxed and beautifully clean too! Lots of friendly staff, keen to help and very polite. Good value for freshly cooked cuisine. We will be back! Thanks very much for a wonderful experience."

"This place is tucked away on a road not far from the city centre. It's a proper pub showing sport, and has a pool table. The staff in there were really friendly and explained the token system to us, whereby you pay £10 for 3 drinks and if you don't want the third at the time of purchase, they give you a token to have the extra drink another time. Not sure this totally worked when ordering a G&T, as they are only £3.00 each time anyway, but it does work if the round consists of something more expensive. We sat on one of the sofas, which had a stack of games next to it (and involved us playing a heated round of checkers! . They do have some food, although it's pretty basic. We've not eaten there, so can't comment. If you want a proper pub, with no frills, then this is the place."

"I reviewed this some time ago, but I had occasion to dine again recently (May 2024) so I thought I would revisit my review. The restaurant wasn't exactly empty, but it was nowhere near full or half full. That was a great shame as the food and service was excellent. The service was attentive without intruding and putting a jug of water on the table when we arrived was a nice touch. The food was excellent, much better than pub food, it was nicely presented, hot and plentiful. The menu had something for everyone, I didn't realise there was a specials board but I do now and will look out for it on my next visit. I understand the cocktails are worth a look. The staff were friendly and efficient, the duty manager (Gilly) was a great asset to the establishment, if only all restaurant staff were this knowledgeable and effective, perhaps The Stables should be giving Masterclasses on how it should be done. Please take note Wetherspoons. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. This was my previous review. Excellent food and service. Much more than pub food.."

"Really nice food. Great new owners who have are really friendly and accommodating. Some have said the food is pricey and whilst it is probably above average pricing, the ingredients are all top notch and where possible, locally sourced. You get what you pay for. We ate here about a dozen times over the summer, mainly with visitors from the SE. They all said what a brilliant place it was and wished it was their local! Well done for the turnaround and all the new innovations."

"Staying in nearby(1.7 miles) in Langford Bridge. Thursday 17th Feb went for dinner, cos why not it was only raining a bit and we needed a walk with the dogs. We had the Steak Ale pies with chips and veg; it was extremely good, as was the Devon Red Cider. So booked for Sunday lunch, on the 20th, which they managed to squeeze us in for 2pm. Raining again the 3 dogs weren't keen, but Wow, The Triple Meat carvery was a challenge to get through, but I managed it; very tasty. The beef was beautifully pink, and the horseradish hot. The pork and crackling were very good, the chicken cooked to perfection. After a short pause, I even managed to down a triple chocolate brownie and ice cream. The service was very impressive. A nearby table of about 16 got all their meals within about 2 mins of each other. Thoroughly recommend the place."
