The Fire Stables

Fire Stables accommodated our large group of friends earlier in December for a Christmas celebration. We paid a deposit and made our pre orders online from the festive menu, which was straightforward and meant that everything was organised well on the night. The Christmas party menu offered something for everyone and it seemed like each member of our party was happy with their selections. The portions were plentiful I found dessert a struggle so 2 courses would have been adequate for me. The staff were attentive and friendly and a good time was had by all.

We had a lovely family lunch, the place was suitable for 2 young children and we particularly appreciated how they welcomed our dog and automatically brougt him water.

Hi, We went there for an 8pm dinner. The staff although friendly seemed a bit young and inexperienced. We were seated at 8pm at our table, no cutlery no menus. At 8.20 we asked for them. The food took ages and we were given the dessert menus at 10pm at which time they came back saying the chefs had left?! So they took back the menus. They either need more staff or with more experience to manage it better.

We had been before for Sunday lunch with family and enjoyed our food and visit. However this last visit for lunch was very disappointing...we waited 40 minutes for our food and the waiter was disinterested and surly. And there were only one or two tables of customers. There was little vegetarian choice even though we'd checked the menu online first. We were told that the menu had changed and that was that. Having said that the food was delicious particularly the Tagliatelle!

Absolutely dreadful food! My child 's burger had raw meat, my 'south coast plaice ' arrived 15 minutes after my Husband and childs orders, with a terrible lump of 'sea herb butter ', and part of the order was also missing (samphire)!. The waiter agreed with all the issues and offered us alternatives and/or free desserts (which we turned down) and so he advised that we would not need to pay the bill.
