The Stables in North Lincolnshire

The phone number is defunct and the venue is completely shut despite it being in the middle of their published hours. I suspect that it has closed down.

I’ve called about 15 times over the past few days to try and book a table for me and my partner. Not once did anyone pick up, it’s too far for us to drive without booking, terrible customer service

Great food, and a Nice little place

Great Welcome! Nice comfy waiting area then straight to the tables with food. Food was lovely and freshly cooked by the chef Chris who had a chat with us during our time there. 5* Great atmosphere. From Teeside but will be revisiting in 2 weeks for work.

I recently visited here with my family and all I can say is that I was extremely disappointed the restaurant it’s self wasn’t up to the standard that you would hope from a 4 star establishment, the chef was very overwhelming and decided to talk to our table for around an hour whilst we where still having our dinner which made me feel quiet uncomfortable, the staff however had big smiles on their faces and where very attentive , the food was amazing it was just a shame that they had ran out of nearly everything I asked for !!!

We have driven past The Stable Many times but, yesterday decided to go there for dinner. We now regret not going before, Christos was so,so welcoming ( typical of the welcome you recieve in any Cypriot restaurant). The food was excellent (memories of our time in Cyprus many years ago) certainly value for money, the srevice was great, we'll certainly be going back. Looking forward to our next visit.

Big Big thank you Chris and you’re staff for a terrific night food was exceptional, also a huge thank you too Paris (our waitress) she’s so lovely and polite and nothing was too much trouble considering it was a busy night and I mean it was busy. We had a little wait for our table which really wasn’t a problem it gave us an opportunity to relax with a drink before eating. Will definitely be going again. If you want the experience of being in Cyprus in England this is the place to go.

Sunday Greek Bbq Day - we didn’t book but we turned up later on in the afternoon and was happy that we could get a table in the beautiful garden especially as it was so sunny! The service was good and the waitress said she was new but she seemed to just flow and made us feel so welcome along with the other tables. There was a little wait for our food but as expected it was a bbq and fresh ! The lamb was so so nice and tender and the flavours were wow! we will all definitely return next week!

Once again the stables never disappoints, the staff was excellent from the moment we arrived they made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough for us. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection and the presentation was excellent. Thank you to Chris and the staff to making fathers day extra special.

The young staff were wonderful. The place was empty. I am not surprised. We left after waiting a very long time. Then the manager=owner cane out to confront me. He told me directly that his lovely, helpful young staff were in trouble (they did nothing wrong all evening) because of me!!!

Hidden gem! Fresh home cooked food, good portion sizes, lovely owner who personally makes you feel welcome and looked after. Perfect spot for a quiet date night ☺️

Lovely place. Great owner very chatty. I got the Chris De-Burger and it was huge. Also garlic mushroom were very nice. Recommend

So we booked a table for 7:30 arrived just before our booking time stood.......stood........stood.......stood........ STOOD! well we stood without anyone attending us for over ten minutes not even being able to be seated with other couples waiting and tutting behind us! We waited sooooo very long I decided to write them a little note before leaving! So I grabbed a pen and order sheet from there bar and wrote..... Good evening I have now waited here over ten minutes nobody has come to serve me or seat me so now I have GONE! in the end myself and my wife simply went a few more miles up the road to THE SHIRES! it's a fantastic place to eat the service at the shires is brilliant! Never go anywhere the service is so bad they won't even let ya sit The STABLES! I won't be back!

Had a lovely evening just us two. Food was amazing, recommend the meat meze. Delicious piping hot, and a great chat with Chris the owner/chef. Going back soon. Very highly recommended. Five star.

Had a lovely evening, good chat with Chris owner/chef. Such a friendly chap. We chose the meat meze, wow, it was fantastic. Lovely waitress, we highly recommend eating here, been many times and definitely going back 👍

Excellent night with friends great food. The hummus was so tasty and the moussaka I had was delicious we all enjoyed 10/10

I rarely write reviews of places but The Stables needs more attention. Dripping with personality. That is the best way to describe this godsend of a place The food is genuine. Made with love, heart and care. I have had plenty of muscles in my time and I have never before had any as nice as them here. The menu felt incredibly refined only having what it needed making every choice a different flavour instead of doing what many lesser restaurants do and stuffing it with different barely different versions of the same meal The price was a bargain for the quality but a core piece of this restaurant is the personality. From the entrance to the waiting room to the eating area to the music was something you would expect from abroad. A little piece of Greece in the heart of Scunny. The staff are all incredible. Lovely people with interesting stories. 10/10 incredible. Absolutely incredible.

nice food great service despite staff shortage not been here for some time but definitely on the list now

Absolutely beautiful food, well presented and freshly cooked. Welcoming environment. Varied menu.

This lovely old barn is a few miles outside of scunthorpe in Messingham. The food was excellent and a good selection available, including vegetarian. The chef came to each table to speak about his passion for food and the Cypriot heritage and influence on the menu. Allow plenty of time and book ahead!

No heating, had to keep our coats on , decor dated and tatty,,

Went last night to celebrate my mums 60th birthday. We had a bit of confusion over food but that was our mistake as we had preordered and made some assumptions. The chef came out to confirm it was all OK and even got my picky son to try something new. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Only complaint we had was how cold it was but aside from that we will definitely be back. Portions were perfect for us with some of our party struggling to finish food.

Me and my partner visited on Valentine’s Day and had a lovely experience. A complimentary prosecco and peroni on arrival and a rose at the table. Both mains were excellent and really good portions. The chef came out and spoke to people in the restaurant which was a lovely and personal touch. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be going back soon!

Well where to start. Our party were of different ages, some pre-ordered, others ordered from the menu. The food was average considering the price. Some had to send their meal back, as it was too dry. They had run out of beer, then wine. The service was a joke, we had to wait for our food which came at various times, repeatedly asking for our food, wine, next course, it felt like we were in a episode of Faulty Towers, to the point that we just started laughing at it all. We arrived at 6.30 and didn't leave until gone 10pm. There were only 6 other people there, it's not as if they were that busy. One thing you could say is, it was memorable!!!

Visited here on Saturday with another couple . We’ve been a few times and it’s always been great ! But although the food was great we had to sit in our coats as the restaurant was absolutely freezing. I know everyone is struggling with cost...

My wife and I had dinner there close to Christmas as my family is from that area. There was nobody else in there when we want, which is a shame because the food was excellent! I highly recommend trying some of the Greek dishes here,...

I'm not from the area and picked this restaurant because it was highly rated on here. The building itself is nice from the outside but when you look closer it's old fashioned and needs a good clean and a lick of paint. There was only...

Friendly chef! Good food.. we had veg food- it was tasty. Veg mosaka, spaghetti and on side feta bake with salad and pita with delicious hummus

Friendly atmosphere, all food cooked fresh to order. Very cozy family restaurant.

First time visit with friends who had previously eaten here. Thurs evening and we were the only diners but had an amazing meal. Starters and main courses were lovely. Would definitely return.

Food was excellent as always, they struggled to serve as had staffing issues so the meal was delayed by over an hour

Food was satisfactory but service was so, so slow and the ambience/atmosphere really lacking, with doors held open making it chilly on a cool autumn evening and Radio 2 blaring out for the duration of our visit. More like a cafe than eatery/restaurant!

Great atmosphere , and great food .Stuff it's really perfection ,

Wow what a disappointment. Chose here after seeing it was no 1 on trip advisor. We should have left the minute we arrived. A waiter came through and told us that they were severely under staffed and that he was the only waiter. He didn’t...

Exceptional Greek food. Despite being unexpectedly short staffed, the service and food was of a great standard. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing night out, everything was cooked on the spot and the quality was over the top! Very friendly staff! Thanks alot!

We booked at The Stables on Saturday evening 27th for a party of five plus baby and had a wonderful time, the owner is such a genuine lovely person who is also the chef and cooks from the heart. Food was absolutely amazing and well presented could not fault a thing. This place needs the customers back after such a difficult period during Covid. Will definitely call again to enjoy the food and company of the owner. Thank You Chris we all had a lovely evening.

Visited on Saturday 27th August and wow! There was only two members of staff working but the waiter was extremely polite, apologised and explained and we weren't waiting overly long for great quality food. The chef, Chris, came out when the restaurant had quietened slightly...

Visited this Gem of a place again last night. Food and service is excellent with a holiday like atmosphere. If you fancy something a bit different then please go and support this restaurant. Like a lot of places they are not as busy post COVID and could do with a bit of local support. Again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️from us

The food here is gorgeous. Authentic. Home cooked. You cant go wrong. Great value. Service was excellent

Amazing food! Great atmosphere and the staff were great and accommodating! The chef went out of his way to make a homemade tomato and basil soup which was delicious. 100% recommend for some real Greek style food!!

This used to be our favourite local restaurant, sadly last nights visit means it will be our last. The portions are massively reduced, ingredients cheap and the service has also declined. Only two other tables eating and yet the wait for food was very long,...

Can't believe I've never been before... This restaurant has such a lovely authentic feel to it. The Souvlaki was delicious. All the staff were fabulous and Chris took the time to have a chat with us and made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be back soon! Can't think of a bad thing to say.

We had a table booked for 8 o' clock, didnt sit down until 9. Very poor choice of wine. Food not as described, disappointing meal. Not a great experience for the money we paid. Will not go again!

On holiday from Scotland, we were looking for top quality food to celebrate a birthday and The Stables stepped up very impressively. The fish meze was delicious as was the beef in red wine sauce. We cannot recommend it highly enough and the owner/ chef...

We had a great evening. This was my second visit and both times the food was great. The chef and owner takes time to come and speak with you which is always a nice touch.

Went for my mums birthday as a surprise. The front of house staff went above and beyond for us all and made my mum feel really special. They were also amazing with my 8 year old son giving him colouring books, pencils and generally treating him like one of their own. The chef also came out to see us and wish my mum a happy birthday. So many personal touches. The food was exquisite. We will definitely be going again

Food was terrible Wait was a long time It was very cold inside The atmosphere there was not any Don't think I will be going again

Family meal celebrating a birthday. Lovely “rustic” surroundings and food was outstanding. Waiter was very attentive and accommodating and the chef came out to chat to us. A lovely experience. Some of the meals need to be preordered (we had booked on the day) and...

We booked for a party of 16 and the staff were excellent, really organized and thorough. Food was fantastic and the chef came out to speak with us which was brilliant, real passion for quality which shone through. It's a small restaurant but we'll worth a visit. Highly recommend the Chicken Souvlaki 😍 and a Mythos beer.

An absolutely lovely place to go and eat. A beautiful traditional looking place with delicious authentic Cypriot, Greek and English food. Everything is cooked fresh and the Chef /owner always comes out to check that everything is okay. A relaxed atmosphere so don't be expecting...

⭐️We went to The Stables for my surprise 40th birthday! The food was delicious and we were made to feel welcome by owner and head Chef, Chris. Thanks for a lovely evening ⭐️

This restaurant is fantastic, just brings back fine memories of my time in Cyprus. Food is excellent and fresh also service is good. Very accommodating and a pleasure to visit. Wonderful to speak to the chef . We will be going again. If your after...

Absolutely delicious food, a great, friendly and inviting place

The greek food was lovely we all really enjoyed every part of the food, just slightly let down by the lack of choice of beer and red wine.

Absolutely fabulous evening spent in a lovely restaurant, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious, well presented and hot. Looking forward to going back again very soon.

It's the first time I've been here but will be going again. The waiter was really friendly and efficient and the food was lovely.

Again, a lovely meal and swift service. Our waitress was cheerful, polite and helpful. Our meals were lovely and tasty. I had the calamari to start and I wasn’t disappointed, well worth the near 200 mile drive up here from Clacton, though I didn’t just...

Absolutely fantastic meal, great hospitality and excellent staff, thoroughly enjoyed the night and would recommend to everyone, will definitely return in the future

Food very good but was very cold which made it uncomfortable .

we arrived and were asked to sit in a veranda leading to the restaurant. A young waitress took our drinks order, but also our starters and wine which seemed a bit strange. Our drinks arrived ( G&T and a beer), accompanied by the wine and...

Must say this meal was the worst I have had in a long long time overpriced and when we asked to speak with the chef/manager he was very aggressive took one of the meals off the bill but really didn’t want to pay for any...

I like to write good reviews and celebrate good food. I'm afraid our experience of this place did not live up to expectations. We chose The Stables based on Tripadvisor reviews and because we like Greek food. Our reservation was mid-week for 20:00. We arrived...

Delicious food and great staff just be prepared to wait, it's worth it though.

Read good reviews so tried here for a friend's birthday. Completely disappointed! Could only attend at half 7 due to restaurant being "busy" but there was only one other table in when we arrived. We were given a menu and left in the conservatory, unsure of what was happening. We waited over an hour to be taken to a table, with no idea why we were waiting. It was almost 9pm before we had any food, which was not as delicious as I'd hoped. Somewhat bland. The starters were not even taken away before they brought the main. We were never offered a drink other than the one we got when we were in the conservatory. Waitress spent most the time in the kitchen. Staff going out the side door for cigarettes and the smell travelled through to the restaurant. Toilet could do with a spruce up, and a dust! Will not go back.

Great service, delicious food, friendly staff and an atmosphere you want to linger in

A wonderful time and the meze was amazing.

Having recently returned from Greece and hanging on to the memories we decided to go to the Stables for our anniversary. We were not disappointed, the staff are very attentive and the food is cooked from the heart. A true gem of a place nothing...

Terrible service and so so food

WE cannot praise Chis and his staff enough for their efforts in making our evening with our 18 guests enjoyable. Excellent food friendly and helpful staff. We recommend this venue highly.

we had very high expectations for this place being number one reviewed on trip advisor, yet on the phone the waitress told us they could only fit us in at 6 and no later, yet the place had more staff members than customers the whole time we were there. I give two stars because my greek food was nice, and the place was pretty but my friends pasta was very dry and tasteless, and when asked we didn't want to cause a scene but the chef insisted on coming out to our table FOUR times to belittle us and explain exactly why the food was in fact fine, and that all the staff had tasted it and loved it, even though we continue to be in a pandemic? He has obviously never heard that the customer is always right. Appalling behaviour to 3 young girls who were paying customers.

If you want excellent fresh cooked food in a lovely Greek atmosphere, then this is the place to be! Our party of four all enjoyed the amazing food and I for one can say hand on heart that I had the best fillet steak ever!...

Tasty starters, but every main course was overcooked. First visit and probably last.

Eating like home. The quality and taste of food is extrodirnary. I could believe that I found such a gem here at Scunthorpe. Christos the owner and chef is an old's vanguard cook who comes and greets his customers. Service is above and beyond. Environment is cozy with modern folklore greek music :)

Amazing food, staff and atmosphere Felt like we were sat in Greece and the menu had a lot of variety

Visited with my partner. I was very impressed with the venue gorgeous setting loved it. I loved the pre seating area whilst choosing from the menu. Waitress looked about 12 and was very inexperienced, we all have to learn and be given the chance to...

Absolutely lovely service and atmosphere. The food was amazing as normal. Waiting times a bit slow but as Chris the chef explained he's having to train all new staff since reopening after covid lockdowns. Cannot fault this lovely taverna, been before and will certainly go...

Went here for my wifes birthday as we had been before. The 2 waitresses looked about 10yrs old.They had no idea about anything, don't think they had made a cup of Coffee before. No sugar, No spoon. When we got spoon and sugar, spoon wouldn't...

This was our favourite restaurant pre covid, but after our visit on Saturday, we have both decided it will be our last visit. This isn't exactly a cheap place to eat, so you would expect to be looked after. The service was terrible, the only time any of us could get a drink was when food was dropped off at the table and even then, we had to go to the desk and remind the waitress about our drinks order. The food was nothing compared to how it used to be. My wife had trio of lamb and it was all very chewy, my friends wife had fillet steak and again it was chewy and both said they weren't great dishes. My friend and I had fish meze, which I have had before and was beautiful, this time it wasn't great, halibut and bass were overcooked and the lemon sole came out after the meal had been served. My wife told one of the waitresses about her lamb not being good and she said she would tell the chef/owner after service, because it would put him in a bad mood!!! Terrible customer service. I have never seen any of the staff before, so I can only presume they are all new. Such a shame this restaurant has gone downhill so much, I used to absolutely love it.

Great food (2 x mixed mezze meat and fish) Not expensive and all cooked fresh to order. We did have a bit of a wait but we weren't in a hurry. Complementary bread and olives. Meals weren't too large either....Still a big portion but I...

Just been to The Stables and will never return. Poor service is an understatement. 50 minutes for a starter to arrive and then another 25 minutes later I asked where the main was which I was informed it was just being served. An hour and half later still no food. Other customer.leaving said good luck with the wait. I asked to pay for what we had drinks wise as was leaving as I wasn't prepared to wait anymore. The chef then came out being very rude told me not to pay for what we had and leave and not come back. I tried to explain that it isn't acceptable to wait an hour and half to eat. If they had said there was a delay It wouldn't be an issue. Even whilst waiting we wasn't asked if we wanted anymore drinks or if we wanted any water on our table. You could see by all the other customers in there that they weren't happy and the coupe on the opposite table said to us it wasn't an acceptable wait as they were still waiting also and they had been waiting also. Never again

Sat outside as it was a warm evening - William, a very pleasant young lad, looked after us very well!Was pleasantly surprised to have Chris the Chef swing by our table for a chat (reminiscing with my husband about 'old' Cyprus - the Taverna on Nissi beach - 1980's!!!!)

All had a lovely meal in a tradional Greek style taverna setting. The meat & fish meze's were very good & the steak was excellent.

We had some wonderful food and drink in the lovely Mediterranean garden area in the evening sunshine. We had starters of garlic mushrooms and prawns and salmon and both were superb. Main dishes of moussaka and pork loin, both dishes were so fresh and tasty, served with warm garlic bread, absolutely gorgeous food. The garden area gives you the feeling you are on holiday, also a huge conservatory to enjoy a coffee, with leather sofas and tastefully decorated. This is a hidden gem in Messingham, well worth a visit and we would highly recommend. Fantastic service, reasonable prices and just a lovely restaurant serving fresh food, which you can really appreciate once you have eaten. Highly recommended and we are looking forward to our next meal.

We went for a family meal (belated birthday) on the recommendation of friends and were pleased with the venue, the staff and the food. Two of us had the fish mezes and two, the meat mezes and there was a good selection of seafood and different meats, some presented as authentic Greek dishes, such as beef stifado and others more Anglicised, such as chicken breast in barbeque sauce. Whichever, it was all nicely cooked and presented in a small, friendly place, with attentive, pleasant and polite staff.We'll definitely call again soon.

Great little place. Easy to drive past without spotting but well worth looking out for. Great food and really friendly staff. Gave us that nice holiday taverna feeling that we are all so missing in current times. Will definately be revisiting... Helen, Steve & Jimmy

Delicious, home cooked food. I have been working in the area for a couple of months and have been staying in the Premier Inn. I’m tired of paying through the nose for mediocre food, so a meal at the Stables was a welcome surprise and a very enjoyable experience. I’m away from home and I dine alone, which is why I often end up just getting something quick, or eating in the Brewer’s Fayre or similar. However, the other night I thought I’d put a bit more effort into finding something better and chose the Stables simply because it came up on my google maps. I must say I was really impressed. I was made to feel very welcome, even as a table for one, and the meal was not only absolutely delicious but no more expensive than I might have paid for the usual bog standard offerings I’d been used to. In fact, it was so nice, I couldn’t resist a chocolate brownie with cream to finish, which was heavenly!! I will take my wife and kids here as soon as we get chance and I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

First time been there , Services are great , staff are lovely ,Nice food . Will visit again and would recommend to others !

Arrived early for drinks as we had preordered food (they requested this on booking) nice setting outside taken to table quite a long wait ( menus left on table WHY) eventually came said oh you have pre ordered. Starters arrived garlic mushrooms cold. Garlic bread minute for £3. Mains were ok but a very long wait. Drinks expensive and unfortunately the waiters seemed very inexperienced.

We had a meal at the stables tonight with family, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. The chef came to the table and said hello which was great! The garlic mushrooms to start were amazing as well as the chicken souvlaki for main. Will be returning again without a doubt to try the rest of the menu. Would 100% recommend this restaurant.

Great food & host. An authentic feel to the restaurant & plenty of outside covered tables / space. Covid safety measures in place.

We ate at the Stables for the first time last night, the restaurant is very quaint with very friendly staff. I had the fillet steak and I have to say it was one of the nicest tasting steaks I have eaten, well cooked and seasoned beautifully, I had eaten at Miller & Carter Steakhouse just last week, but the Stables fillet blew them out of the water! A pleasurable experience and I would highly recommend this venue. In a word Teleios!

Pre-Covid, this was my favourite restaurant. Not so good post-covid. The mezzes were just slabs of meat and this week, the lobster thermidor was salty, chewy and over cooked. Not only that but arriving at 6.30pm we didn’t get our main course until just after 8.00pm. Zora the Greek played 6 times. Think I will look for another favourite restaurant in future. Sorry as this one had a lovely ambience. Just doesn't produce the goods.

Would 100% recommend a visit to the Stables, amazing food and wonderful, friendly staff. A great deal of effort is put into making it a great Greek experience.

Couldn’t fault the food or the service. I had the lamb moussaka, which was absolutely delicious and the portion was a really good size. The young man serving us was lovely as well - really attentive. Such a relaxed vibe to the restaurant too. Will definitely be back.

The service and hospitality are amazing, and the food is even better. Everyone here loves what they do and it shows in the food.

Second visit for dinner in June 21. Four of us went for dinner. Nice evening so sat outside in garden. Very relaxing. Four starters and four main courses ordered together with decent white wine and beer. Food well presented and decent portion size. Tasty and all of us enjoyed different food with no complaints. Good selection on menu. Staff were fine and owner was on site and chatty. Prices are mid range and decent. Overall a nice experience and left with next booking in place.

I chose to try here based on the #1 trip advisor rating.. Wow what a let down, how did they get #1?!We waited an hour before asking how much longer it would be, to be told 5 minutes. 15 minutes later we walked out as still no food. Bloody ridiculous! There was only 2 of us and we hadn't ordered complex meals, and there were only 2 other tables in! (A table of 2 and a 4)One waitress was sweet but clueless, the other one didn't want to be there. The table of 4 got their starters and mains and had ordered pudding and we still had no sign of food?? Priorities?!?!?! Need to sort our their customer service and waiting times.

First night open and despite some hiccups along the way (some menu items missing due to lack of fresh availability of some items which... is fair). Staff were incredibly friendly and head chef chatty and welcoming. Location was warm and cozy. Food was very good and very well cooked (The Meat Meze being a nice selection for those unsure what to try). with only a few issues stopping me from rating 5/5 (Burger for instance wasnt quite as formed as would like so it was more difficult to eat near the end as it fell apart). Also on a personal preference, im not quite a fan of eating off tile-style plates. Its just a bit messy. Despite the minor issues, was still very nice and makes me want to try again when some of the teething issues have been cleared and sorted.

The inflated TA reviews mistook us. Take out we ordered was horrendous. Greasy food. No seasoning. Not worthy of dog food.
