    Not your average pub. Ambience, service and food were superb! Had the chicken and roast beef Sunday dinners. The portions are very large and all ingredients were fresh and delicious. The bread butter pudding topped off the decadent meal!

    Dear Katherine, Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our Sunday roast, and we hope to welcome you back soon. Kind regards, Ginny

    As always we enjoyed our meal at The Stablehand, especially as they cheerfully accept Yums and don’t make you feel awkward about using them. The waiting staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful, and they all seem to have a good rapport with one another. We were served by a few members of the team, but Elicia in particular took time to talk to us and we would hope she is rewarded for going the extra mile. Thank you, hope to see you again soon.

    What a great place! The food and service were amazing. We had hake and cod and they were really tasty.

    Friendly service, nice people. But the food. What the hell. It's awful! The roast chicken salad was a very old tasting chicken breast sitting on a few limp bits of lettuce. The seasonal veg with the fish pie had clearly been sitting in the kitchen all day. I just can't wrap my head around you can serve such poor quality food in 2023

    The StablehandOwner

    Dear Francis. Many thanks for taking the time to review us. We appreciate your kind comments on our staff, however we are disappointed to hear you felt let down by the food. We usually get very positive feedback on all of our dishes, so we will investigate to see where we got it wrong for you on this occasion. Regardless, we are sorry to have disappointed you, and we hope you visit us again soon so we can make it up to you. Kind regards, Ginny

    Lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff. Fabulous and surprisingly quiet part of London for a Friday evening meal. Good pint of IPA and reasonable rose wine. Fish and chips were good, but bubble and squeak was not fully warmed through.
