Good table with plenty of room for 2. Our waitress was lovely although the supervisor was less friendly. Food was great , service almost too efficient except drinks service which was a bit slow. Good atmosphere for a rainy Sunday evening

Had an amazing time at The Stablehand. The service was super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The Macsween’s Haggis Scotch Egg was incredible—crispy, flavourful, and so satisfying. The Bubble & Squeak was just as fantastic, with golden edges and comforting, hearty flavours. Great food, lovely people—can’t wait to go back!

Lovely venue. Warmly greeted and shown to our table. We were the first and ambience was extremely quiet. A good display of sandwiches both iriginal and vegetarian. Felt the sandwiches was made in advance as the bread had crusted. We ate them anyway. Cakes were lovely but small portions. But my friend and I had a lovely time catching up.
