Presentation was spot on, and the flavours really delivered. The lamb shank was perfectly tender, just fell off the bone. Staff were friendly without being overbearing. A solid meal.

Loved the tucked-away courtyard vibe. The chargrilled turmeric fish was tasty, but the real star was the lemongrass chicken &ndash; the portion was huge! Service was nice, decor felt tasteful. A good find.

The staff were so helpful getting highchairs sorted while we managed the little ones. My fish and chips were spot on - crispy batter, proper chips. Made a hectic family lunch much easier.

Had a mix-up with my order last week. They swapped it out straight away, no fuss at all. Really appreciated how they handled it.

The menu&#39;s got so much to choose from! I was stuck deciding for ages, but the staff were really patient. Ended up with the grilled halloumi salad - the mint yoghurt dressing was spot on.

The staff are lovely. One of them walked me through the pastry selection, pointing out the fillings and what was freshly baked. Really helpful when you&#39;re staring at a case full of options!

Steak was cooked exactly as ordered, which I appreciate. The place is quite lively, maybe a bit loud for a quiet business dinner, but it&#39;s clearly set up for groups.

This restaurant is a hidden gem on Cowley Road, known for its fresh ingredients and timely cooked dishes. The warm and friendly service makes every visit enjoyable.

This is the third time we have dined at The Stables and it did not disappoint, food was excellent and service was outstanding. We will be back

Really enjoyed our experience this evening the food was delicious! The portions were just right I didn&rsquo;t feel overly full after the meal. The service was very good as well.

Best service ever by Callum, and hats off to George the chef as well for the most amazing Bavarois ever. You won&#39;t tell it&#39;s not a lemon for the outside but the white chocolate inside is heaven.

As a coeliac, I was really impressed by their separate allergy menu. Plenty of options, which is rare. The gluten-free pasta dish I had was cooked just right, not mushy at all. Made for a relaxed evening out.

Came for a Christmas lunch with the family. The turkey was spot on, really moist and the gravy was just right. Staff were lovely and kept things moving. Felt like a proper festive meal without the usual Christmas Day price tag.

The mushroom linguine was a standout. Not bland at all, really flavourful. My friends enjoyed their steaks too.

Nice traditional pub downstairs, but the upstairs dining area is much quieter. Their house red went really well with the steak I had.

New owners have really turned this place around. The food&rsquo;s solid and fairly priced, and everyone working here is sound. It&rsquo;s already feeling like a proper local in Henley.

Had a lovely stay here. The room was comfortable and well set up. The staff were really friendly and helpful, made everything feel easy. The village looked beautiful in the autumn. Enjoyed the food, it was tasty and well-prepared. A nice, relaxing break.

The curry was spot on, rich and flavourful. Portion was generous too. Service was friendly and attentive, they checked in just the right amount. A solid meal.

A real find in Oxford. The place has a lovely, cosy vibe. Not too busy, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the meal. The lamb shank was cooked perfectly, fell right off the bone.

Been here a few times for group meals. The team is really good with special diets. Had a big booking last week, some needed gluten-free. They kept everything separate, no fuss. Manager checked in, staff were sound. Makes it easy when you&#39;re organising a crowd.

The blue cheese burger was a real standout. That patty, cooked just right, had so much flavour. Juicy and messy in the best way. The whole thing just hit the spot.

Came with a big group, and the staff handled our separate checks without any fuss. Pretty patient service. The tiramisu was a nice finish to the meal.

Quick bite during lunch break. Food came out fast and hot. Burger was solid, fries crispy. Busy spot but staff kept things moving. Good for a speedy meal.

A proper local spot. The staff remembered what I drank last time, which is a nice touch. Busy, but that&#39;s Oxford for you.

A proper old pub, feels like stepping back in time. Just a few tables though, so you might end up standing with your pint.

A lovely, clean pub with a proper pint. The staff are so friendly, which makes it a really comfortable spot to relax.

The lamb chops are the thing to get here. Cooked just right, not too gamey, with a nice char on the outside. Juicy inside. I&#39;d order them as a main next time, the portion as a starter left me wanting more. That&#39;s the only dish I&#39;m really thinking about.

Popped in for a casual dinner with a couple of mates. The vibe was just right for a catch-up&mdash;really cosy and relaxed. The food was proper hearty, exactly what we needed. Service was lovely, no rush at all. A solid spot for a low-key hangout.

Been coming here since I moved to Oxford. Food&#39;s always tasty, never had a bad meal. Portions are decent for the price. Just a solid, reliable spot when you want something good without fuss.
