Danson Stables in Bexley

Came an hour early as we got our timings wrong but we were still greeted with a smile and accommodated. Our server Jenny was very attentive and friendly. We got our food quickly and were impressed with the service!

Great service from Jenny; food was brought out quickly and she was super friendly. Potatoes were average but overall meal was good. Pudding was great.

Good place for a coffee and a chat with friends

Hmmm. Unfortunately the food was 'just food' and I was disappointed that the veggie option was not available. The girl serving was bordering on being rude and made us feel like a nuisance. Yes, she was on her own but that's not the customers fault. We won't be going back which is a shame as the venue is wonderful.

As a pub it's ok but we found the food lacking today. The meal we had wasn't the besr

Booked for 1 pm Sunday lunch for my fathers birthday, shown to a table and told to use QR code to order, order would not go through, went to findout what was wrong, told that we should order from the bar, won't be going back.

Terrible experience - long wait, understaffed. Will not be back again

Great food and service .My car broke down in the car park and the bar manager and staff looked after us . Made sure my phone was charged for me .Nothing was to much trouble .

Really nice place, with friendly staff and good food.

We came for lunch today and I must say the young lady at the bar, who said she had only been there two weeks, was do polite and helpful. I have difficulty walking and she offered to bring my drinks to the table. I have been a restaurant critic for most of my working life and I wish more people in hospitality had her attitude and great customer service. Well done

We visited Danson Stables today at 2.15pm, the dining area was not busy maybe 6 or 7 tables were taken. We ordered our food, scampi and chips and a burger. We waited almost 45 minutes before it arrived and both meals were lukewarm, clearly the food had been dished up and was waiting for someone to bring it to us. We had no time to complain as we didn’t want to wait another 30-40 minutes. Looking at other reviews this is clearly a problem with staff shortage or lack of communication between the kitchen and waiting staff, either way it needs sorting if you want to keep your customers.

Had a nice dinner. Our waitress Jenny was great

Nice roast dinner, dog friendly and our waitress jenny was great! Will definitely be back :)

We were told that we would wait 25 minutes for our food due to being short staffed , we waited 1 hour 20 minutes for our food to come ,during that time someone appeared at our table with the wrong order. Food was luke warm , looked like it had been sitting around for too long, very poor and mainly inedible. Environment was cold , as were the staff who were disinterested, rushed and uncaring. We were there for an eldely relatives special birthday lunch , couldn’t have been more disappointed and let down .

The food and service are good and dog friendly

My husband and I came for valentines dinner. Our waitress Izzy was very attentive and friendly from start to finish. Went above and beyond with a great smile and attitude. Thank you

Small pub in the park no atmosphere though

Had disappointing children's meals but the manager did everything to make up and was extremely helpful.

This is my local and it is the most welcoming and warm atmosphere to sit and eat or drink in. Have just tried the new menu and can say that the food was amazing. The team work hard to create a chilled and family (and dog) friendly environment and it pays off.

Visited as a group of 5 on a Monday evening. Could not fault the food and very friendly service particularly Everton.

Had a great Sunday roast here today, food was all lovely and service from Jenny was brilliant, super attentive. Thanks guys!

Lovely Sunday roast and great service from Jenny, nice day out.

Fantastic and attentive service by Jenny.ovely atmosphere and accommodations for dogs. Food was delicious but slightly cold. Definitely recommend.

My first experience of Danson Stables. The food was superb (Sunday roast) Jenny our waitress very efficient and helpful and served us with a smile. The food was reasonably priced - we would definitely come again.

Such a lovely experience from when we stepped in the front door. We had a table booked but due to the weather arrived earlier than planned. It was a busy Sunday lunch service and the manager seated us early, no problem at all. Our waitress Jenny was super efficient and ensured we had everything we needed. The other guests were friendly as we had our two springer spaniels with us. They were happy to be stayed at by two big brown eyes ! The whole experience was great and when we are visiting family again we will definitely pop by! Thank you.

Lovely Sunday roast, unlimited potatoes, great service from Jenny

Very good Sunday lunch and service from Jenny

Great food and quick service from Jenny

Lovely food - particularly the roast potatoes! Great service from Jenny too.

Lovely place and food. Jenny there was very helpful and efficient

Great food and service Jenny was fantastic

We had a wonderful family gathering today . 14 in our group . Jenny our waitress was fabulous

Went there this morning and at 10 am had to leave as the music was so loud it was deafening. Ridiculous at that time of the day.

The food was great and jenny our waitress was friendly and provided great service

Great food (I recommend the roast trio) - our waitress Jenny was really friendly and helpful

Jenny was very friendly attentative and the food was delicious!

Jenny was great, would definitely return!

Really good Sunday roast at Danson. Great veggie option too.Thanks so much to our server Jenny who was fab

Really nice place to have Sunday lunch. Good food, good service and nice ambiance. Highly recommend.

I always come to Danson Stables when I have friends in town. The food, atmosphere and service are all great! The waitress Jenny was great!

Jenny was great. Very helpful with my 1 year old. Food was delish!

Lovely place to go with family, fantastic service from Jenny.

Jenny was wonderful. Very attentive and friendly.

Jenny was amazing, really attentive and helpful and the food was incredible.

Service by jenny was excellent, very helpful . I would definitely come back again.

Came for a Sunday roast, delicious food, big portions. Service was prompt and helpful, thanks Jenny for taking care of our orders so well. Will come back more often!

We visited here with our dog for a Sunday roast after a long walk. We were greeted by Jenny who was really attentive, polite and friendly. We ordered a trio of roasts - the portion size was extremely generous. They catered very well for our dog - with a dog station set up with blankets, treats and water bowls and even have a doggy menu. We'll definitely visit again.

Jenny was so lovely made or experience fantastic Absolute asset to the team

This is in a lovely setting with a nice atmosphere. Good choice of food and reasonably priced, have visited afew times but this time was disappointing! Seemed very short staffed, food took a long time to arrive and was cold! Desert also took a long time to arrive and when it did was also cold and definitely not what was ordered! We did get a replacement but that took ages! Definitely need more experienced staff and need to speed up the process!

Food basically tasted like it had been reheated and had not much flavour to it. Staff were lovely and helpful but very disappointed about the food. It came to our table as soon as we ordered which is never a good sign.

Had a lovely lunch yesterday, Steak and Vension pie was really good. Was served by Jenny who was very attentive and couldn’t have been anymore welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Very busy lunch Monday. Had to wait a long time to get served at the bar. But then we found we could order using the app. This made it easier. Food was excellent and sensible pricing.

Had a fabulous meal! Thank you to the team for making it special

I attended a wedding reception here on Thursday 02nd January 2025. The food was excellent and the service was quick and efficient. There were over 40 people and we were all served our meals together. The Chef made a special mushroom wellington for me as I was a stand in for another guest who wasn't vegetarian, it was a pleasant surprise and very tasty. The staff were smiley and friendly and seemed to be working very hard to ensure the guests were happy. All in all, a good experience.

The food was absolutely fantastic and Jenny was such a help. She deserves 5 stars herself.

Lovely friendly staff, couldn’t fault our food or waiting service. Had a fussy mum but was accommodated for. Niah was a great waitress.

Wow!! This Sunday we headed out a little late for breakfast with 2 very good friends. After deciding not to go into a couple of cafes and some interesting heated “discussions”, I, the leader took charge and remembered The Stables. By the time we got here it had just hit midday do we had the choice of breakfast or Sunday lunch. Well the 3 meat roast won!! It was delicious!!! And more than enough.. I actually couldn’t finish it!! But somehow found room for the crumble! With Andy front of house, Katie on the bar and the faultless friendly service from Charlotte it was a brilliant lunch, we will be coming again. Next time bringing the pooch… as he had to make do with a doggy bag. Would highly recommend

What a banging roast thanks to Charlotte who looked after us and Katie at the bar who took our order and gave us a tasty beer to try. Great venue great atmosphere. Andy the manager has a great team get yourself down there.

Had a wonderful welcome as soon as we arrived from Andy. Charlotte was our lovely server, very polite and helpful. Great sense of humour and an assist to the restaurant/bar. We have never been before but we will most definitely be coming back. Rather than breakfast which looked fabulous and was a great price we opted for the roast dinner. Sunday roast - trio meats amazing if that wasn’t enough we had extra cauliflower cheese and a giant pigs in blanket. Wasn’t required as the roast was so big but thoroughly delicious to have these on the sides. Price is shockingly good. 1000% recommend and we will be coming back!

Lovely atmosphere , friendly attentive staff amazing food too service was quick even with it being busy. Recommend if your looking for some wholesome food and warm environment

Lovely location with decent food. Jenny was very accommodating and we had a good time.

Jenny is great and was very friendly serving us, meals were great for adults and children. Baby friendly!

Delicious hot Sunday roast. Our waitress Jenny was very attentive today. We will come back.

Absolutely fantastic. Great service from Jenny.

Lovely food staff fantastic thank you to Jenny x

Great service from Rosie who was super patient and lovely. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was charming.

I regret to write to review but I do think it is important that the owner is made aware as it was jaw droppingly bad. On Wednesday of this week, myself, my 6 month old baby, my best friend and her 1 year old and her 95 year old nan went to the stables (opting here over wetherspoons as we hoped it would be less busy). My best friend has recently moved to Folkstone and it means she cannot spend this year with her Nan for Xmas day so this was a special occasion in which she had travelled back for. We were seated promptly and bought drinks at the bar arriving at 1245. We proceeded to order our food at the bar (in the presence of our children and Nan) where no mention of any long waiting times were made…we then proceeded to wait over an hour for our food…my friends nans food (hunters chicken) had to be chiseled out of the bowl it had been served in and was so dry that my friends nans could not actually physically cut it with her knife. My friends chips were cold, while the child’s meal was piping hot. We asked the waitress to please acknowledge the state of the chicken where we were advised to change the order as ‘that was how it was cooked’ -so we asked to change it for the festive sleigh burger which my friend had ordered and had been nice with the exception of the cold chips….we then proceeded to wait a further 45 minutes …meaning my friends 95 year old nan had to eat alone and had waited nearly 2 hours….we were presented at the time of my friends nans 2 hour delayed meal with a bowl of pigs in blankets which ‘had been forgotten’ from my friends meal….and then we had to ask for the children’s dessert which came with the meal (but which had not been flagged to our attention at the til despite us paying for it). The waitress offered zero apology (we remarked on this sarcastically at the time), and were offered initially a refund for the two adult meals. I had paid for my meal separately (a soup) and have to say I thought this was outrageous given the entire meal was ruined and they wanted to claw back the 6£ meal of the child. We were not asked how our food was at any point, received zero apology or notice of a long wait time (particularly upsetting with such small children and an older lady being part of the party!). I believe a wake was occurring at the time which perhaps was the reason for the poor service and food delays…that or such long waits and poor food resulted in a death?! The rest of the pub was quiet and certainly not fully booked so I fail to understand why things were so bad. In the past the stables has been excellent, good service and delicious food -which is why we chose here over wetherspoons despite it being much more expensive. We did receive an entire refund for the food which we appreciate, but ultimately the experience was terrible and we will not be returning for any special occasions. I also think it really needs to be investigated by the owner as it was so avoidable! A real shame. Had there of been more transparency, apology and communication this would have been completely avoidable.

Popped in for a coffee, very quiet and order not delivered after 15/20 mins. I went to enquire and lady behind bar was chatting to people on pc’s to rear who I assume were management. Took a while to finally come over to me and no apology offered by the lady, blaming another member of staff. I was then served, but found the whole experience poor. Coffee was ok and the place always looks great. Need to work on service even when not busy.

Went for sunday lunch, food was great and Jenny was an excellent server.

Great service by Jenny and lovely food!

Thank you for the 25% off the Sunday meal Jenny. The service as a whole made a sloth look fast. The heating in pub itself was way too hot.

Thanks for the friendly service and the 25% off our meal Jenny, though service was a tad slow. Especially when waiting to pay the bill. The area we were seated was hotter than the Bahamas. Might be an idea to turn the heating down a bit. The food however, was enjoyable and decent portions for the price.

Jenny gave great service, food was lovely would come again

Food was okay nothing to shout about, standard pub dishes. The highlight though was the pigs in blankets. Nice crispy bacon on the outside. Expensive for what it is as a whole, expensive beer prices to match. Restaurant was clean and we were seated in a nice warm area. Service was ok, Jenny delivered the food with a smile and was friendly. (Got 20% off the bill for the shoutout) so worth asking for next time you go.

Jenny was very polite and friendly.

Fantastic food. Jenny and rest of Service was nice. Bit quiet in the pub but only because there was a fair outside

Excellent food and even better service provided by Jenny. I would recommend this pub to anyone looking for a delicious, top-notch Sunday roast.

Wonderful food and service by Jenny, great night.

Enjoyed a wonderful meal at Danson stables. Lovely atmosphere and family friendly. Food was good and service excellent, Jenny with a y made sure we were looked after. Would visit again.

food was exceptional and the service from Our waitress Jenny was outstanding, we’ll Definitely be back again

Jenny has great customer service

Jenny was so welcoming and quick with taking our order. She was really informative and definitely would recommend coming here!

Sunday trio was a delight and pigs in blankets were tasty. Great service by jenny

Jenny is a superb waitress - will be coming back!

Jenny was really lovely and helpful! Food was great!

An embarrassing display of ineptitude, was told 20 minutes for a starter, waited an hour. Didn't stick around for the main, as i would have reached retirement age by the time it came. You'd think at £7 a pint they could actually employ enough staff. DO NOT GO HERE.

I am 65 years old and today at the Stables was by far the worst restaurant experience I have ever had in my life. After waiting an hour-and-three quarters for the main course to arrive and then being told "the chef is just preparing a meal for a table of 12 and then he is going to start on yours" we walked out. We paid for our drinks and starters but had we done a "dine and dash" then this would have been no more than this appalling establishment deserved for wasting our time. There is clearly something very wrong with the management of this incompetant shambles of a place.

Meal not great and expensive for what you got.

Booked a room for my family Xmas party. 37 people. The staff were very attentive, helpful, polite and efficient. The food came out in a timely manner, well cooked, hot And delicious. Would recommend booking an event there

Lovely place in South London, I had a great experience during my last visit to the UK last week, the staff was extremely polite even though English is my second language :) The food was great too and the price was very faur for the lunch my and my fiance had that day and I love how clean and cozy everything was, hope to visit again next winter because the location is very unique!

they are messing up basic orders, cant tell if Staff are demoralised or unprofessional. something has been going wrong there recently

Went today had an amazing meal with amazing customer service!!! Drinks are a little pricey (double vodka £8.50). Great lot of people working there everyone so kind and helpful. Will definitely be back. Thank you all.

good food, service was a bit slow didn't ask if we wanted coffee after , asked for ice cream with a dessert instead of cream , got cream and ice-cream in a seperate bowl a little later halfway through eating dessert

Went there to get a takeaway coffee and was told by the man at the door I would have to wait until everyone was seated b4 I could do that.

The staff at the pub were lovely. We took our granddaughters 1yr and 3 yrs and Rowan was fantastic as the youngest is dairy intolerant. She asked all the appropriate questions and reassured us that the meal we had chosen was dairy free. Good choice for kids menu and very reasonable. Lots of space, food good. We will be back.
