Stubbs in Ashford

The food here is really good, with a nice variety of dishes. Service was friendly, but a bit slow during peak hours. Overall, a solid choice for a casual meal with friends. Worth a visit!

Fantastic birthday lunch, I will definitely be back. The surf and turf was an event in itself.

Saw the sign on the door about dress code and thought "brilliant" at long last somewhere classy in Ashford to eat. Wrong. We saw people in flip flops & shorts. Didn't spoil our visit though. The car park is spacious with outside seating area to drink & eat when the weather permits. The building itself is beautiful. Shame we were seated close to the toilets when the rest of the restaurant was empty. Staff were polite, professional & pleasant. Food was very nice and was served piping hot. We had a starter and main each. Couldn't manage dessert. Bill was hefty but you get what you pay for. Always wanted to eat here & glad we finally achieved it.

Been a few times and a cut above other local places. Good service, great food and friendly staff. Will be going again soon

Celebrated with friends for their 40th wedding anniversary last Saturday. Food, service and ambience excellent, staff so friendly, really went above and beyond. Thank you for making the evening so special.

A very nice restaurant. Very good food. We have eaten here multiple times including the Chateaubriand and Fish dishes. All have been lovely. Also enjoyed a drink at the bar in the oyster bar area. Have always found the staff clean, respectful and very accommodating. I cannot fault them from my own experience. I will definitely be a returning customer.

Best Gin and tonic in Ashford. Fish and chips was divine fresh fish and crispy chips. Homemade tartar sauce was delicious. Well worth a visit.

Visited for lunch. The restaurant was busy both inside and out but the service was excellent. All the staff were friendly,helpful and efficient. We ate from the set menu which was very good value, offered a wide choice and the portions were plentiful. We'd have liked to have ordered dessert but just didn't have the room! Thoroughly recommend the fish pie which was delicious!

Try the burger.... try the duck... try the sushi... go eat here! Live well!! Love life!!! Love food!!!

A great menu for a seafood lover. Perfect for a special treat dinner as it’s a little more expensive compared with other local choices. Opted for the burger which was fantastic. Even the condiments were well thought out and well put together.

Great restaurant for appropriately priced quality food and have eaten here several times. The ambiance is just right with no harsh lighting and tables nicely spaced. Our lead service at the table each time was Aktor who is polite , respectful, helpful and above all extremely good with customer service and a asset to the restaurant. We will return again soon Tracey and John Burvill

Staff were great with our little boy. Really good food too.

Had a wonderful evening celebrating our friends birthday. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely setting. Food was really great Service fantastic. Akthar the waiter had a great sence of humour. Gave good recommendations He was friendly and chatty. A lovely man. Will definitely come again

One of the best restaurants around with a very chilled atmosphere. Recommend booking but may have spaces for walk ins.

First class service as ever … food was amazing and Jazz music on the patio Fantastic……

Wow absolutely wonderful service and food . Would highly recommend.

Always a pleasure eating at Stubbs, great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. Love the sushi, oysters and well, everything else on the menu.

Amazing!! Definitely book if you get the chance wow the food is so nice can't wait to return.

Really good, prices are some inflated

Lovely restaurant and beautiful food! Would have given it 5 stars if the lamb shank wasn’t taken off the menu 😢 please bring it back!

Great place, food is delicious and wonderful staff which is rare for uk. Decent prices.

We love this restaurant! From as soon as you step in you are welcomed and the servers make you feel comfortable. The food is amazing, we had an issue with a sauce this visit and pointed it out to the person serving us and she spoke to the chefs and realised someone hadnt added cream to it 🙈 so they made us a fresh one straight away and apologised. We have been here for birthdays and they have brought out ice cream with a candle in and wrote happy birthday on the plate. Best restaurant in Ashford!!

What a fabulous lunch we had!! From the time of booking to the lunch every effort was made for a wonderful meal. Celebrating a special birthday lunch for 14 people the food & staff were great & very attentive. Thank you to all involved , we all had a fab time

We’ve just had a fantastic lunch and the staff that looked after us were excellent. I highly recommend trying the oysters with the Gusbourne sparkling. There as good as it gets.

This was our first visit to Stubbs for dinner and we were not disappointed. The overall experience was exceptional. Great service, amazing food, we will definitely be back and highly recommend if you haven’t been before.

Despite there being a large table (20+) seated at the same time, we received great service. All the food was delicious and generous portions. Not many places you can get a homemade gypsy tart!

Thank you to Stubbs for a lovely afternoon on the 27 March the staff were lovely and friendly the food was great it was my 80th birthday and one I shall always remember thank you once again yours sincerely kathy norris

I keep reviewing Stubbs every time I come and pretty much say the same thing . Feel so lucky this amazing restaurant is nearby. We have never had a bad meal here. The service is phenomenal with the most lovely staff. Took a friend for a meal who had never been for a dinner time meal at Stubbs. He loved it. Food cooked well. We all enjoyed the meal. Can’t go wrong.

This mother's day I was disappointed in Stubb's . The food is ok but the service was slow . Being in that middle seating area I had to change seats as I was being bashed by everyone walking past and I was getting annoyed so my son in law swapped seats . They tried to charge for food we did not get and the drinks were not flowing because of how busy or short staffed they were . Felt like we were forgotten about and then cleared plates away when some were not finished which made us feel like you were being rushed . In all it's a bit over rated . Nothing special .

We visited yesterday for lunch and this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The food quality was amazing, I was blown away by how delicious everything was! The portion sizes are good as well, which makes a big difference. Would highly recommend!

Food is lovely but better than that was tonight’s service. From the waitress who tried to pay for our meal (joke!) to the waiter who really well-managed the madness my very hyper neurodivergent boy brings to life (sometimes I’m really sadly distressed about reactions), thank you for making my birthday meal lovely - nice little touch with ice cream. And Mother’s Day too. Yes, the boy has now crashed …

We turned up on the off chance to be warmly greeted by wonderful Akther. He looked after us all for entire duration of our meal. Nothing is ever too much trouble. He is so warm and welcoming with a great sense of humour. He always goes well & beyond to ensure EVERYTHING is perfect and EVERYONE is happy. Ambience, food & service incredible. Thank you so so much Akther for yet another special Stubbs evening. You are such a credit to this awesome establishment

Absolutely stunning from start too finish! Big thank you too Alex and team. Food was michelin star, and the vibes what top class!!!

Had my birthday meal here last night. There were 12 of us, and with a large order of steaks, everything came out perfect and on time. The food is a massive 10/10. The service was faultless and will definitely be back. Thanks again Stubbs! 👍🏻

From start to finish, it was a lovely experience.

I don't do many reviews but this deserves one by far. The food was top quality and it's not often somewhere makes a place somewhere special. Albeit the food was top and very reasonable for the high quality in every dish. Apart from that the people that that worked there were so amazing and attentive. Bernadette looked after us mainly and made our dining extra special. Everyone was more than helpful and usually don't have this friendly exchange in somewhere that went above and beyond. This will now be our special place and we can't wait to back. Jessica and Joe

Shared a fantastic meal with my beautiful wife for our wedding anniversary. First time and won’t be the last. The food was exceptional. Real fine dining, the quality and the value were amazing. All of the staff were so friendly and not pretentious- they all seemed to just be themselves. Bernadette made the evening fantastic for us both. She’s a credit to the restaurant as I’m sure the owner is well aware. And judging by the staff I’d say they have a very very good employer. Can’t wait to come back. Wish we could have left 6 stars!!

Went for lobster and guess what, NO lobster available. Disappointed.

Exceptional food and staff, you have to give it a try.

Birthday party with 12 of us! Excellent service friendly staff and good food, huge menu with something for everyone and loads of parking.

Never disappointed 👍👍👍👍. Very good food and service MORE THAN PERFECT. Thank you again for this good time.

Mary was very friendly and helpful, she recommended the skate wing and pork belly, she made us feel like nothing was an issue to ask. We came from Margate and will definitely will be returning!

We were a party of 13, celebrating an 80th and 60th birthday; from 1st communication until the time we left on the day we received 5* treatment. The food was excellent, the service was absolutely perfect; massive shout out to Scott in particular, who was friendly, patient, attentive and informative, but all staff involved with our party were fabulous. What a great atmosphere/ambience and considering the size of our party they all did brilliantly! Definitely recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to return.

My husband and I have been to Stubbs 3 times now, and have been completely delighted each and every time. We have really good restaurants near where we live, but will happily drive almost an hour to return to Stubbs each time. The steaks are the best we've had (including from top London restaurants), the atmosphere is sophisticated but also laid back, and it's great value. We couldn't recommend Stubbs more highly and can't wait to return.

Amazing food, great atmosphere perfect service. Wish we had found this place sooner, stunning

Excellent food and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere

Have to say how fabulous our Surf and Turf was!! The whole placed was rammed as usual but still fabulous service. Thanks Sally and Nathan !!

Food was good. Staff were very stressed and had to reassign our table. For the last 30 or 40 minutes, 3 staff were running about trying to sort out a table for a large party and loudly disagreeing on how to do so. Once they arrived they were very loud and we were forgotten due to the table setup and trying to sort them out. Several tables had insufficient service due to these troubles. Staff evidently overstretched and restaurant overbooked so unable to cope during a busy service.

A lovely restaurant with good menu selection - great food - attention to detail - attentive staff - polite efficient and friendly Car Parking was barely enough for the volume of customers and it did get a tad cold by 20:20. Definitely worth visiting and I’m hard to please - apparently…

Classy gaff. One of my faves in Ashford. Highly recommend

Another trip to Stubbs and another great experience. The set lunch menu is amazing value for money for choice and quality. Staff are exceptional. This is by far my favourite restaurant and we are looking forward to trying Stubbs al fresco in the Summer.

Had lovely food here, atmosphere and staff were great, our waiter (aktar or ashtar) was amazing, he was inviting and friendly, will defo come back

Lovely restaurant with a great atmosphere! The food was amazing and the service was attentive and friendly. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.

Amazing lunch with family and friends. We all loved our food. Highlights were probably the skate wings and the steaks. Scrummy!

I've dined at Stubbs twice, and both times, I was blown away by the quality and flavour of the food. Every dish is beautifully presented, and the service is excellent. The atmosphere is pleasant, even during the busy Christmas season. The restaurant has a nice dimly-lit design and the tables are spaced apart and arranged well. The staff are incredibly accommodating to special requests and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.

Stubb restaurant Ashford UK is the best steak I have ever eaten, it is more delicious and well cooked and the taste of the meat is perfect, I definitely recommend it

Food was delicious and portions are generous. The only thing that let the meal down was service was a little slow. Maybe I'm being picky but at the price you pay for food you what top tier service. The main one that annoyed me was the 30min wait for a glass of tap water... other than that staff we're very friendly and helpful.

Way to many people crammed into the bar literally on top of each other large parties and groups made it for a very loud place to eat myself personally wouldn't go again .but may suit others

Went to Stubbs for supper last night- first visit there, but had been to several of the predecessor pubs. Delicious food and excellent service. The portion sizes are very generous and all the food is cooked with very high quality ingredients. Hope to return very soon.

Highly recommend Stubbs. Went there tonight to eat for the first time. The food was excellent, great portions! Service excellent too and very reasonable prices.Will definitely be going back again. Thank you to all of you at Stubbs.

Amazing place .. bustling with customers and atmosphere. Super food and drinks

The staff were very friendly and attentive to the table, along with great service. The food was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend a visit! Can't wait to return again and enjoy some delicious food.

Drinks are a little bit expensive, but you what you pay for ! Food is excellent, atmosphere, lovely ambience ! Would definitely go back again!

Very nice vegan sushi but a bit disappointing as the only vegan main option on the festive menu. Would have liked there to be a nut roast or wellington or something a bit more traditional. Especially we the sushi is on the regular menu too. Chocolate cake dessert was delicious and incredibly generous portion size. Great service and ambience

Fantastic. Food quality great. Dog friendly. Would suggest you book in advance to avoid disappointment

Incredible place, amazing ambience, atmosphere is extremely relaxing while maintaining a standard of elegance and class. Prices are very reasonable for the hospitality you recieve. The food is astounding, highly recommended for social events, date nights or family celebrations. Can't remember the name of lass I spoke to at front of house but she was extremely polite and helpful while serving me. From the welcoming to the dining, the whole experience was stress free and humbling. Highly recommended establishment. 10/10 service. 10/10 cleanliness. 10/10 food and drink selection. 10/10 location. 10/10 parking. 10/10 ease of service. 10/10 dining.

Happy New Year, Stubbs!!!! 10★! Thank you for another wonderful evening! Champagne and cocktails, followed by wines and delicious fish and sublime steaks…more cocktails Service was on point, and the atmosphere was electric!

I've picked the Filet steak both times I've eaten here and would give them 10/10. Perfectly cooked melt in the mouth cut with peppercorn sauce. They do have a good choice of other dishes as well. Recommend the Bistro on a rainy, miserable day. 3rd visit. Still great. Another fillet steak and the other half had Sea Bass as her main that was delicious as well. Truffle Taramasalata and Baked Brie starters really made it hard to put away every course but as we dont go out much we had to have desert as well.

Had a family meal on boxing day 👌🏻👌🏻 just excellent and great value 👍🏻 thanks all at Stubbs

Really nice food and service! Definitely recommend 👌

Visually, this gastro-pub is lovely in the evening. Just the right balance of dark shadows, candlelight, wood panelling and humming buzz of diners to create a really special ambiance. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive in the pre-Christmas rush. Food was good, with both the lobster and the burger being delicious and well prepared. The decorations for Christmas were a nice touch, and it’s definitely a place we’d revisit.

Lovely food and great service at a reasonable price.

A fantastic family favourite with excellent food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere, we visit at least once a week! Stubbs is hands down our favourite restaurant, and it's no surprise that we make a point of visiting at least once a week. The combination of excellent food, friendly staff, and a wonderful setting makes it a place we always look forward to returning to. What sets Stubbs apart is the consistently high quality of everything on the menu. Whether you’re looking for fish, lobster, steak, or a burger, every dish is faultless and always cooked to perfection. The cocktails and Guinness are always served exactly as they should be. One of the things we appreciate most is that you can order anything off the menu and know it will always be nice. The staff are another reason we keep coming back. Eva, the main hostess, deserves a special mention for the warm and welcoming impression she gives at the entrance. She works incredibly hard to ensure that every guest is happy, and her efforts don’t go unnoticed. Lucio, one of the waiters, is always cheerful, professional, and friendly, making every meal even more enjoyable. While Stubbs can get extremely busy even on weekdays, it’s not uncommon to see every table full, along with several large groups of twelve or more people. We’ve dined here both as a couple and as a family, and even though weekends can be noisy and bustling, (my youngest prefers the quieter weekday visits.) However, we are always happy to dine here, no matter the day, as there’s always a great mix of people and families. A standout feature of Stubbs is the absence of any "discretionary" service charge, which we often see added to the bill at some other restaurants. We always try to tip the staff generously because we recognise how hard they work under pressure to ensure everything runs smoothly in such a busy environment but it's so nice for you to have the choice of your own. When choosing foor our favourites are the starters of brie and toast, and tempura prawns, followed by the steak with peppercorn sauce and the Blues Burger often with a side of lobster. For dessert, we often choose choclate cake or the ice cream with brandy snap basket. We have also tried many cocktails here and the Mojito is one of our favourites. Whenever we've had a challenging week, we head straight to Stubbs for a meal that never fails to lift our spirits and round off the week on a high note. We can’t wait for our next visit!

Food is overpriced. Service was very slow. Meals took nearly an hour to arrive as did the deserts.

This restaurant is a real favourite for our family celebrations. Recently we had my mum's 85th and a party of 12. It was a really busy night, but Sally on reception made sure everything went exactly to plan, and Eva decorated our table with the items we had brought, so we could relax and have a pre-meal drink in the champagne bar with the family. Superb service, and the Staff at Stubbs always go the 'extra mile'. Love everything about Stubbs, thank you all - such a great team.

This was our first time at Stubbs as meeting friends. The staff were very friendly & helpful, food was lovely, quite big portions so glad I didn't have a starter . Overall experience was very pleasant, nice place to go for a special occasion.

Omg just eaten here with friends,five star food and service can't recommend high enough Will be coming back thank you to all the staff .I'm vegetarian and the greek burger was amazing ,crispy brine starter was awesome and the best gypsy tart I've ever eaten ,worth every penny tonight ,🥰😃

Outstanding table service. Ivana we think was her name was polite remembered the last time we were there. The food was as usual brilliant. IT is worth going to

Went on my wife's Xmas do and it was superb, the surroundings, the atmosphere and the food and service was excellent

Absolutely wonderful my son took me there for my birthday, what a delight. he goes there often with work colleagues..... I've been telling everyone they must go xx

Amazing experience. Brilliant food. Highly recommend Def place to go ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Had a great table with five of us with good food great company but above all outstanding service from Lucy who couldn’t have been more professional friendly and welcoming. She really made the occasion for us!

I met up with friends for lunch and the food was great. I also have to add that the table service provided by Lucy was exceptional. She was a delight and Stubbs are lucky to have her.

Great lunch out with old work colleagues.. Great food either way hood friends & served by lovely Lucy the best waitress ever..

Consistently good food and friendly, efficient service in a calm and upmarket setting. Nothing not to like. The pork belly was particularly good and the dessert selection is brilliant.

You can’t go wrong eating here. The food and service is fantastic.

Perfect place to celebrate my graduation. The 2 course lunch menu was scrumptious and affordable. Definitely recommend.

All round great experience, lovely food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Luv everything about the place Food - service - parking All fantastic 👏 👌

Busy on a Wednesday evening suggests that Stubbs is a good restaurant. I'd agree with that. Lovely food, mabe the tables were a bit close in some areas

Lovely place for a meal, excellent food, good portions, good service, what more could you want!

We have booked the table on Saturday to celebrate my eldest birthday. He has some learning difficulties, waitress serving us recognised it straight away and staff had acted upon it straight away. Evening could have turned completely differently if it wasn't for Hannah. So thank you very much for making our evening extremely enjoyable with superb food and excellent service.

Honestly was so amazing, me and my partner went there for our anniversary and they gave us a lovely rose and a congratulatory letter. Food was outstanding and service was just as amazing, would definitely go back!!

First time visit as a group of 11 on a packed Friday night. Great selection available on the menu, staff friendly and helpful particularly with two food allergies in our group. You get the feeling that nothing is too much trouble for them. Will definitely be back.

Lovely restaurant, everything is made fresh on premise, have clean kitchen and staff were amazing

Such a shame, was hoping for so much more !

Excellent birthday meal. Brilliant service and atmosphere.

Great service and food at a good price point, always my go to pub for food and drink with family or friends

Great place to eat. There's a bar for aperitif, a champagne and oyster bar and then main restaurant. Good variety of food, we had a vegan, a vegetarian and a steak lover with us and everyone was happy Nice cocktails and wine Good selection of beers

Superb restaurant with awesome food and great service. Can’t wait to return.
