A superb little spot with very welcoming staff and excellent food.
It's quietly tucked away, and I wouldn't have thought to find a lovely restaurant where The Stables is, but the location is lovely, with a nice bit of garden, outdoor seating and a decent amount of parking.
The food was very enjoyable -- a small but excellently curated menu focusing on doing a few things and doing them well -- and they had a nice selection of drinks, including my all time favourite, a wonderful Pedro Ximenez (which I strongly recommend to any Port lover).

We had an absolutely amazing meal at The Stables at Vayre House tonight! We were in Chipping Sodbury this evening when we decided we wanted to go for some dinner. We were looking around on the high street when suddenly I remembered The Stables at Vayre House down Hatters Lane. We took a walk down Hatters Lane and we were blown away by how gorgeous Vayre House was. We were able to get a table as a walk in as it was a Thursday (we were told during our evening that if it was a Friday or a Sunday then we would have probably have had to book). The outdoor seating area was also very pretty and had a lovely ambience. We sat outside and had a gin and tonic and our starter before sitting in the restaurant to have our main meal and dessert. The staff were welcoming and super friendly, the owner and our waitress Rachel both made our experience here top notch - great customer service! The interior inside the restaurant was stunning and had a country home feel to it. The food was incredible and probably the best local meal I have ever had (which says a lot as we are proper foodies!). We had the Homemade Vegetable Crisps with spicy mayo to start, followed by the Sous Vide Local Lamb Rump with truffled dauphinoise potato, picked carrots and a red wine jus, and for dessert I had the Mille Feuille with crème patisserie, fresh raspberries and raspberry sorbet and Martin had the Vanilla Panna Cotta served with macerated strawberries and Strawberry consommé. The accompaniments with the main meal really made the lamb dish incredible, you could really taste all of the layers of the dauphinoise potato and the whole dish was perfectly seasoned with a great balance of flavours. My dessert was light and well presented and beautifully made. I would definitely go back to The Stables at Vayre House again and I want to book in to go for their afternoon tea which also looks amazing.

Beautiful little restaurant that has been fully renovated behind the Grade II listed building of Vayre House. Keep a look out for the signs overwise it can be easily missed. We walked from the High Street of Chipping Sodbury. The Property still has its original features of Elm and Oak Vaulted Ceiling and the original Blacksmiths fireplace.
The restaurant is clean and stylish, it had a great comfortable feeling and I felt relaxed. There was a peaceful ambience feeling. We walked up the pebble stone driveway and was welcomed by the lovely waitress Rachel. We sat out the front because the weather was nice and enjoyed a few Gins and also ordered the Vegetable Crips. For my main I had the lamb and for dessert the Panna Cotta.
The lamb was cooked just perfectly and the vegetables tasted amazing. I didn't want the meal to finish and for the first time in a long time I got the urge to pick my plate up and lick it. Of course I didn't because that would just be wrong but that was how good the meal was. You can see into the kitchen and I have a little look and thanked the chef for a great meal.
Will definitely be revisiting this little gem.
An absolute gem of a place. One of the nicest roasts in Bristol and a great menu. Would definitely recommend the duck dishes and a beautiful setting.
Beautiful food, lovely welcoming staff, great wine, excellent ambience, really lovely place to have our wedding anniversary celebration meal.
Had a lovely time at the stables for afternoon tea, great service and food was incredible!
What an outstanding place. Friendly welcoming staff in a rustic comfortable setting.
Food was superb!
We feel fortunate to have found this gem!
My husband and I had Sunday lunch at the Stables yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. We chose the roast beef and it was delicious as were the great variety of vegetables served with it, especially the crispy roast potatoes.
Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
We are lucky enough to have eaten many times at The Stables and always had a great meal. Karen makes everyone welcome and all the team are so friendly and you’re not rushed. BUT, last night my wife and I had a meal that was simply superb - the starters of Chicken Taco and Beetroot Cured Salmon were fantastic but the main course of Beef Short rib for me and Hake for my wife were soo good, you just didn’t want the meal to end. So we had desserts of Baked Cheesecake and Blackberry Franzipan to end the meal. We particularly love that ingredients including the meat are very locally sourced and the Woodchester wines are really good. This is a very special restaurant with great atmosphere, wonderful food and drink and worth every penny for truly excellent dining experience. Can not recommend highly enough.
excellent meal in lovely surrounding.
Freindly staff. Will definatley go again.
We had an afternoon tea for my mother’s birthday. I can not rate this place enough. The place looks lovely the staff were very friendly. The afternoon tea was excellent value we selected the sliders instead of sandwiches and this was the best choice ever. The sliders were lovely (pulled pork, burgers and hulami) all amazing! Then sausage rolls and lots of cakes and scones! All was amazing and the price was brilliant we left totally happy and very full. Will definitely be returning.
One of the nicest high teas I've had in ages. Early Birthday treat from my daughter! Staff very pleasant and friendly. There was a new girl, obviously on first day in New job and she was delightful. Views of garden were gorgeous . Food high quality. Didn't realise there was ample parking in large rear car park. Definitely worth more visits.
Lovely dinner today. Excellent service and delicious food
Popped in today at lunchtime we were passing through so hadn't booked. We had a table in the garden. Food & wine 10/10 my husband had a meat roast, I had the vegan option definitely recommend, beautiful.
Service brilliant, very clean, toilets, hand sanitizer available.
Thank you, very enjoyable.
a private party. a great afternoon .staff very efficient and friendly .
Our second visit, excellent just like the first. I would say out of all Sunday lunch venues we have been to this rates the best. Excellent food, nice atmosphere, very polite and friendly staff , spotlessly clean. Shall be going back time time again and introduce our friends, excellent well done
We went yesterday (11th January 2019) and were most impressed. Lovely surroundings and super-friendly staff, this deserves to be the leading restaurant in this area. The cooking compares favourably with the best in Bristol. We both had the the soup which was tomato and absolutely delicious. My wife had the pork belly which she said was very tender and tasty. I had a rib eye steak which was one of the best tasting steaks I have ever eaten. Both main dishes came with fresh seasonable vegetables. Anna finished with coffee but I had the panacotta with small mouth watering donuts. Considering how much work had gone into the preparation of each dish and we had had wine throughout the meal, the bill was very reasonable. We shall certainly go again.
WOW ! What a lovely place, this is the first time i have visited but my sister is local and has been here several times before.. We were a party of 9 celebrating our aunties 80th birthday. The food was really nice and cooked fresh. The restaurant is a lovely building and very nicely decorated. The staff were all very helpfull, freindly, happy, polite and couldn't do enough for us. I would recommend a visit to The Stables to anyone, i just wish i lived nearer. Well done to the staff, keep up the hard work.
