The Stables Bar & Bistro in North Lanarkshire

I bought a too good to go bag here, supposedly £13 worth of food. The whole bag was inedible. It was truly disgusting and I'm not a fussy eater. I put the whole lot in the bin after trying a bite of each. It was disgusting. Please don't spend your money on food here. It looks and certainly tastes nothing like the pictures. There was karaoke on when I was in which had the worst "singer" I had ever experienced.

Please be aware they operate a new parking monitor and send charges through the post for £50+ if they deem your stay as unauthorised. This well sign posted and appears to built in a way to trap innocent people stopping in the car park for a short time. Very upset that this large company has decided to go down this path to make a profit.

Visited very briefly at lunchtime. Did not buy anything due to the rudeness of one of the two women working there. Asked for a pizza and chips combination thing that was sitting already prepared and snapped at by the woman stating that there were three pizza options. Without telling me what they were I said I would take whatever was nearest. I’d never seen a “pizza crunch” before but it looked horrible and said I didn’t want that one to which I was met with a huffy retort of “well that’s why I asked you want you wanted”. A list of what you do have instead of “pizza and chips” might help your customers then. The shop was swarming with school kids but I am in my 40’s and certainly won’t be spoken to in such a curt and nasty manner which they may be possibly used to using with their younger clientele that won’t tell them where to go in response due to naivety and lack of experience. Walked out without purchasing anything, which I’m glad about as the food looked pretty disgusting.

Closed yet again. Phone Via Torino 01236 356524 for a cheaper and better meal. It hasn't been the same since Bashir gave it up

Last minute decision to go out for a local family dinner, thought we would try the pheasant as not been in for a good while. Very quiet when arrived, no one to greet us, just sat down, taken a bit of time before acknowledgment, then menus giving, no explanation of menu, ideas of dishes etc, the place has no atmosphere, some raving music playing from open kitchen window, Anyways ordered drinks, ‘ main course, waiter was nice enough, brought all 4 meals out one by one, steam dish came out with fries at the bottom and a lump of very thin steak, with loads of sauce & onions, looked like something you would serve a dog, not great presentation for the price, asked for it to be well done, burnt, it was pink inside, waiter was lovely not his fault, he told the chef, the chef was very abrupt manner to the waiter saying it’s a thin steak, canny burn it, that’s the way it is? So as we were the only family in the restaurant we heard the whole conversation, the chef was annoyed and not nice to his colleague, Waiter kept apologising, which we states it wasn’t his fault, asked if we wanted another meal free of charge, by the time this 2nd meal came all 3 of us had finished, we ordered desserts so we were all eating together. Bill came we got charged, and they gave us 4 soft drinks free of charge. The waiter was very nervous and I just paid and left, didn’t want to cause a fuss, the food was ok not great, service slow, as there was only 3 tables in and we were the only table there for the last hour/bit, chef rude , as didn’t care about the customer, leaving the waiter to deal with us, which was a shame, not a nice atmosphere , we never enjoyed as it was so quiet, no atmospheric and the chef obviously wanted home. Disappointed as not been for a while and will re think about going back, menu not a good selection to pick from, maybe lunch is better, unsure.
