"First and Last , service slow, bill fast ! The Stables Beamish Hall hotel This was our first visit to this restaurant for Sunday lunch as part a family celebration weekend , we were a group of 9 . We had booked in advance so we were directed to our table in what is a nicely decorated former stable . We were given menus after a while we ordered some drinks after a considerable wait , our drinks arrived . After another wait we gave our meal order, we were just about ready for our next drinks when the first course arrived. The first course was a little slow in arriving but was very nice . At the conclusion of the starter we made a second drinks order and waited for the main course to arrive and waited and waited . when the main course arrived we had already been in the restaurant for an hour and twenty five minutes. The delivery of the course was less than any decorum of service. The male calling out loudly the meal and putting down to each without any acknowledgement. A waitress said that’s it and started to walk away and had to be advised we were two meals short . After another relatively short wait the meals arrived . It then became apparent the lamb special was delivered without any mint sauce . A small point perhaps but we had to try and attract a member of staff to solve the issue . normally we would expect someone to check if everything was okay with the meal . Not likely , we gave up on the wine we had ordered as we were now two thirds through the meal, so went to the desk and advised them to cancel it. We finished the main and decided not go with a desert as we were by now quite confident it would not be delivered any time soon . However we had two small children who were awaiting a desert as part of the children’s meal , the 8 year old decided to go and ask for his and was directed back to the table whereupon the waitress arrived, the table was cleared and took the children’s order, as I said we had all given up on that idea . The children both got their deserts . The bill was requested and within only a few moments the bill was delivered . In fact to be honest that was the fastest thing to be delivered during the entire dining experience. The food was reasonably good but the service wasn’t bad, it was absolutely atrocious We left the premises and we unanimously agreed none of us would be likely to ever return . My advice find somewhere else to go for a meal particularly if you are in a family group . This review is not quite as comprehensive as it could have been there are many other issues with this venue , but if you don’t get the message it’s up to you . REV23 1/10"

We had made a reservation for a birthday celebration, the food was decent but the service was extremely poor. The only thing that arrived promptly, and with a smile, was the bill. View menu

My wife and I go to The Stables on occasion with our dog for Sunday lunch.As always when booking I mention that our four-legged friend is coming with us,as they are dog-friendly. However when on arrival,we discover dogs are no longer allowed inside in the restaurant ,and they should’ve contacted us,which never happened.Although we were free to have lunch in the courtyard in the cold and wet,the option of eating in the bar area ,where there was low coffee tables was also given.We took this option as it was too late to travel elsewhere. Normally if you asked for a sausage for your dog it would be no problem,but when the bill came we were charged £3.95 for one sausage! There’s no reason for us... View menu

We visited as a family of 2 adults and our 4 year old daughter for what we would say was a treat out as we hadn't been out for a Sunday lunch in a long while. We were very disappointed by our meal and service and we really didn't feel comfortable to discuss this any further on the day for reasons which I will explain. Firstly we waited for a little while to be serviced at the table by which time I asked for some crayons for my daughter to be told I'll get them in a minute and they never came. I therefore needed to ask again. My husband then asked for some sauces to come with our meal they never came and I therefore needed to ask again. My husband explained the girl I asked was the same girl...

Firstly in the ten years I’ve used tripadvisor I have never posted a poor review like this before, but feel on this occasion I need to. We have the approach not to post online something wouldn’t say at the time, but on this occasion nobody asked and the fastest thing that came was the bill. We came here as a group of 9 to celebrate an important birthday, we planned it based on a previous event held at Beamish Hall we attended. The grounds and building are well maintained to a high standard and done well. That unfortunately is where it begins and ends as far we as everyone in our group said. From beginning to end the place oozes of could care less and poor slow service and appears management...
