Popped in during the day on the off chance of getting a table for that evening. Chef was there and said he could fit us in! I cannot fault this place, food was wonderful, service was attentive but the star of this show was Pickle the dog who made the whole experience even more pleasant. We were made
Fabulous place to eat dinner in Swanage. Food delicious and lovely menu. Make sure you book as tables go really fast. Fantastic team and chef is really friendly and accommodating. We had tapas starters, Spanish chicken, rump steak and delightful desserts of lime cheesecake and pear and almond tart.
Outstanding! How lucky we were to find this place today, more lucky there was a cancellation and we were able to book for dinner. Staff are fantastic, we were so welcomed. And the food was so good. 5 stars to the chefs and 5 stars to serving staff. We throughly enjoyed our meal, what a lit
Booked a table for 6 when the in laws came to stay. Great menus choices with plenty of fish options. Some of the party opted for the hake which was a really good size, no one went away hungry and the homemade desserts of creme brule and almond tart were to die for. Great service, open kitchen, fairl
Quiet setting with decorations in keeping with a local seafood theme.
Food was really good and not expensive. Reasonably wide menu maintaining quality.
Smiley friendly staff.
On a day trip, our first choice closed early due to lack of staff so we found ourselves at the Old Stables. How lucky! Interesting mix of food. The quesadilla was a first for me. The tapas were good especially the prawns. Even the side salad was different to the usual lettuce and tomato. This w
Food wise: Lovely light fish stew and fish pie and an excellent pear "tart" though the absence of pastry meant it wasn't actually a tart. Someone did forget to add any sugar to the lime cheesecake though as it tasted very savoury. Still ate it with some lovely ice cream though.
Service: Strange. I
Superb fish platter £14 and wine. Owner was very accommodating, even staying open for us after all other customers were long gone. Set back, away from the hustle and bustle. We will return. Thank you
What a delightful experience it was, happenning across this smashing little place by pure chance on Weds 13th July at lunchtime. Escaping from the heat, the hustle and bustle of the seafront and the high street, the 3 of us ventured into the side street , and discovered the pretty Old Stables restau
We had an excellent lunch at this place today.
Needed to book but managed to get 12:00 at short notice.
The seafood platter was super and good value
Prawns, smoked salmon, crab, pate and fresh salad.
Friendly staff and simple but nice ambience.
What a lovely little gem, we were lucky to get a booking, lovely staff, meal was fabulous, however I may upset a few people here but I have never been a fan of dogs in a restaurant, pickle is a lovely old dog but didn't like the fact that she sat by our table while we ate and another couple were fee
Nearly didn’t book as it looked as though nothing on the menu complied with my restrictive diet, but the chef was in the background and would have none of it. He chatted through with me what I can and can’t have, and adjusted a dish to suit me, which was very nice. He was incredibly helpful and made
What a lovely find whilst on holiday last week in Swanage. Such a warm welcome from the staff & really tasty meals. Would highly recommend to anyone passing this fab little Bistro 😃
We had a lovely evening here. Delicious food, friendly staff with a good sense of humour, cute resident dog called Pickles. Lovely decor and very clean. Definitely worth a visit.
Thank you.
If you’re visiting Swanage you must pay a visit to this gem. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Was lucky to get a table last minute on a Saturday night which is unheard of in this day and age of good old Covid. Calamari as a starter followed by the Pigeon & Scallop dish paired with an i
Amazing fresh food and lovely hosts. The seafood platter was fabulous and a perfect starter for two to share. Dog friendly too. Thank you very much.
