3 /5 David O: This was our first visit to Danson Stables. The setting and surrounding area are lovely and very dog-friendly. The outside of the pub looks great, although the inside was fairly average. There were lots of dogs in the pub and they were all very well behaved. Unfortunately, the same couldn’t be said for some of the children, who were running around like maniacs and treating the place like a playground. We did complain, but nothing was done about it.
The food, however, was really good. We had the roast shared platter and a burger, both of which were excellent. A definite thumbs up for the food and drink. Our waitress, Niah, also deserves a special mention as she was friendly and attentive.
Later in the afternoon I had to use the disabled toilet, which was honestly disgusting. It clearly hadn’t been checked all day and there was no toilet roll for the entire afternoon. I complained three times and ended up having to use serviettes from the table, which really isn’t acceptable. On previous days the toilets were signed off every hour, but this seemed to be completely missed on Sunday.
Would we go back? Yes, just about. But they really need to listen to customers and make sure basic things like toilet checks are done properly, as this was sadly lacking on our visit.
