Reviews The Stables At The Grove

Special evening out. Great setting, outstanding customer service and fabulous food. We went for a special evening and were not dissappointed.

As you drive down the long, winding road that leads towards The Grove, you may be mistaken for thinking you have taken a wrong turn, as the grounds are huge and the road is long and keeps on going. It is quite breathtaking as you get closer, especially on a bright, sunshiny day, as the main building looks large & stately, surrounded by beautiful green land. The Stables Restaurant looks like an old stables conversion (hence the name). The vivid green of the well-kept surrounding land/ grass, as it's known for its golf course too, was picturesque in the sunshine. As you approach, there is ample parking in their large car parks. There are 3 different restaurants at the Grove, but today I ate in The Stables Restaurant, which is not too formal, quite bright and airy. The menu was one page, which I like, because I feel it keeps the food fresher rather than a huge menu. I went for the special as a starter, which was described as crab Tempura with vegetables, which was served with a little side of noodles and was nice, but you only got one crab claw for your £19. For mains as it was a Sunday, my friend had the roast beef dinner, and I decided to try the chicken and leek pie, pancetta, mash, and a creamy tarragon sauce. We also had sides of mixed vegetables which came with the roast dinner & I ordered a side of broccoli. My pie was small but packed with flavour, and the creamy tarragon sauce worked wonderfully with the mash & and vegetables, and I ate every bit! I also tried the beef, which was perfectly cooked and served with delicious gravy, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding & a side of vegetables. We had one glass of wine each, a Rapura sauvignon blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, which was lovely! The bill came, with service to £60 per head. I really enjoyed all the food, so I would give it a 9/10. The service was good, staff very attentive except at the very start, where only one of us was given a menu, and no one came back with another one. Fortunately, my friend knew what she was having quickly, so she gave me her menu to peruse. Afterwards, we retired to the bar area, which is by The Glasshouse Restaurant (a buffet style restaurant), to have a coffee. Will definitely return again! . .

The Stables is my 'go to' location to catch up with friends - old and new. The staff are amazing, the food is great and it's such a relaxing and friendly vibe that is on point!

Nice relaxed atmosphere, setting in old stables. Friendly staff. Tasty food, all items in the menu have calories count.

Excellent all round - food, menu options, wine, ambience - just a lovely experience - and luckily they had a table with one day's notice! Highly recommend a walk around the grounds afterwards.

If you want a really accessible but special experience this is a great place to be

Have been here many times and it never disappoints. Scallops, beef cheek and lemon posset for me and beef carpaccio, fish & chips & expresso for my husband. Fab pina coladas too! 🍸 They also gave us a special happy anniversary cake at the end of our meal which was amazing and a lovely gesture.

We had an amazing experience and meal at the Stables. My husband is gluten and dairy free and was so happy to enjoy all three courses (made especially for him) the food was exceptional. I cannot thank Matt and the team enough, we appreciate the care and attention provided to ensure he had a safe meal. We will no doubt be returning in the future. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Our experience eating at the Stables was like eating where “regular” people eat….hear me out lol! There’s a few different restaurant on site and each provide a different experience. The experience at the Stable had more of a quiet setting, low dim lighting, televisions throughout but not overwhelming. And the food prices aren’t as expensive but the food still tastes great and filling. I ordered the chicken schnitzel burger, which comes with fries and I would order it again. My wife ordered the Stables beef burger which came with real thick cut bacon. She eat it all. I ate the bacon lol. We normally never finish our meal, so that said a lot about us. Thank you 🙏🏾

Midweek lunch for 3. Excellent choices on the menu and there's a vegan menu too. Lamb rump for me with tenderstem broccoli to complement. A little chilli in amongst the broccoli to liven it up. I'm told the Dover sole with Morecambe Bay brown shrimp was delicious too. Service was excellent....attentive and efficient.
