"I like to write good reviews and celebrate good food. I'm afraid our experience of this place did not live up to expectations. We chose The Stables based on Tripadvisor reviews and because we like Greek food. Our reservation was mid-week for 20:00. We arrived...at the restaurant a few minutes earlier and were asked to wait in the waiting area. The reception girl brought us menus, which we saw as a good sign hoping that the service will be quick. We made our food and drinks order. The restaurant has Cypriot wines on the menu. I am currently off alcohol so I asked for a ginger beer, not available. OK, any zero alcohol beer or wine. Not available. OK, I will drink sparkling mineral water. Not available. The best was yet to come. After 15 minutes of waiting we were shown to our table. There was no one else in the restaurant. Another party of 6 arrived soon after. The restaurant was freezing. We sat next to a radiator, which was hot but the place was freezing. Was the heating switched on when we arrived? The other table did not bother taking their coats off. After some time we were served with a piece of toasted bread each and olives, which was nice. Then we were waiting for our starters. The reception girl/waiter was going to the kitchen and back and we jokingly said that she is probably the one who cooks as well. 45 minutes later our starters arrived (20:45), which was consisted of toasted pita bread, hummus, tzatziki, grilled Halloumi and mushrooms in gravy. Hummus was bland, tzatziki did not have any cucumber in it. By that time we were really hungry so we did not complain about the slow service or lack of flavour and just ate. We were putting high hopes for our mains: 2 x Fish Meze, Meat Meze and a Moussaka. Half an hour or so later the Moussaka arrived. Then the waiter and the chef came to our table to explain there there was a mix up and instead of 2 Fish Meze the chef cooked 2 Meat Mezes. OK, I will have a Meat Meze instead! I am so hungry, just give me some food! So we had 3 our of 4 mains on our table. The Fish Meze arrived 15 minutes later, to everyone's relief. I watched my friend taking shells off the beautiful grilled prawns. No lemon water bowl or wet wipes were provided to clean your hands. She ate her prawns and squid rings, which were nice but she had to leave halibut and sea-bass because the fish had strong smell. I told my friend if she is not enjoying her food she should send it back and complain. Our Meat Mezes looked really good but were somehow flavourless. Having travelled to Cyprus, mainland Greece and other Greek islands we know how Greek food tastes. This food did not taste Greek or Cypriot: not seasoned enough, not enough herbs, just bland. English version of Greek food? Not sure. At the end of the evening the chef/owner had a cheek to come to the table to ask how our food was. We told him the fish had a smell. He explained to us this is because it is very fresh as he sources it from the local fish market every day at 4:30 in the morning. Was it left out of the fridge all day? The owner offered a glass of wine on the house at which point we just wanted to leave. No discount or refund was offered. To summarise: a traumatic experience, freezing room, expensive and bland food, a very slow service with lots of mistakes. We do not know how this place got a Certificate of Excellence in 2015, they probably had a good chef and more stuff then. Our compliments to the reception girl/waiter, she tried to save the situation but it was not possible. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this restaurant and it is definitely not #1 in Scunthorpe."

an absolutely beautiful place to eat. a beautiful traditional place with delicious, authentic Cypriot, Greek and English foods. everything is freshly cooked and the chef /owner always comes out to check that everything is in order. a relaxed atmosphere that is not expected. fast food, just make one night of it.

Again, a lovely meal and swift service. Our waitress was cheerful, polite and helpful. Our meals were lovely and tasty. I had the calamari to start and I wasn’t disappointed, well worth the near 200 mile drive up here from Clacton, though I didn’t just...come up for a meal lol I came see family. Visited Stables several times now and I have never been disappointed or left wanting nor have my family

Must say this meal was the worst I have had in a long long time overpriced and when we asked to speak with the chef/manager he was very aggressive took one of the meals off the bill but really didn’t want to pay for any...of it it was vile frozen fish on the meze the only good part of the meal was the bread He then started then to blame to two young girls who really didn’t have a clue but not their fault just left to get on with it Avoid at all cost Speisekarte ansehen

family dinner birthday. beautiful “rustic” environment and eating was excellent. kellner was very attentive and accommodating and the chef came out to entertain us. a beautiful experience. some of the meals must be preordered (we had booked on the day) and. we had difficulty deciding how it all sounds fabulous, so we will definitely try other options soon. we don't live far away, but this was our first visit and we are very happy to have found this little gem. I hope to return very soon.

we arrived and were asked to sit in a veranda leading to the restaurant. A young waitress took our drinks order, but also our starters and wine which seemed a bit strange. Our drinks arrived G&T and a beer), accompanied by the wine and...2 glasses ... after 5 minutes, the young lady took us to our table, I was surprised to see that only two other tables were occupied on a Saturday night at 8pm. It took less than 10 minutes for the cold to hit me, I then looked across only to see that two out of three occupants on the table next to us were eating with their coats on, and the lady sat behind me was also wrapped up trying to stay warm. Strangely, the radiators were on but the room was FREEZING....
