    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!

    We had the most amazing dinner at the Smith's! We were a little concerned about the noise when we arrived but to our delight we were seated in the coolest back room area, and separate from the front main bar. Perfect for private parties if you wanted to bring the office or plan a family reunion. We ordered 4 meals and a couple of sides, along with some fish and chips (My wife is from Norwich and having fish and chips is always a great addition to any feast). We're not drinkers by our boys and their wives had wine and beer and very much enjoyed their drinks. The service was also great! In fact when we got seated the room was a bit freezing, and there were only a few others in there, so I asked one of the gents if the area we were in had separate air and he was so nice about it, turned it down and it was just perfect for the amount at guests. I wish I had taken pics of my plates of food, I'm not the guy that remembers that kind of stuff, and to be honest the food disappeared nearly as quickly as it arrived! The table went silent for about 10 minutes while everyone dug in, and boy did we enjoy it! For the next hour we all picked at everyone's plates and enjoyed each other's company. I'd go back in a in no Time for any special occasion or any meal! They have Sunday Roasts, and guaranteed we'll be going back for one of those! Our entire family enjoyed The Smith's for our Dinner Feast and we all recommend it to anyone who hasn't been before!

    This is very much a fast food outlet and not a 'Greek experience'. That said, the staff on hand were pleasant and attentive and the food was fresh and tasty. Two of us ate as much as we could manage for less than £30 with beer.
