| The only good thing about this pub is the decor and the outside surroundings. Most of the staff are rude and have chips on their shoulders espicially the manager. It is meant to be a child friendly pub but the whole time of being there all the staff do is huff and puff and make it known you are not welcome with children. There is no warmth to the pub which is a shame as its in a beautiful area. angel24w - 8 Sep 2011 23:44 |
| Had a great visit to the Danson Stables today, never knew this pub was there, hidden in the middle of the park, great beers, sampled youngs, doom bar and london pride, all bright and lovely. Had a snack as well, staff were friendly and welcoming, beer and the food were all great, and the courtyard must be spectacular in the sun, can't wait to go back. jimjamesjimmy - 5 Sep 2011 19:38 |
| Shocking service, confusion reigned! Not just my account, friends who have also visited reporting the same basic problems. Stick to a quick pint, quick if the staff / management can keep up with such a simple request! Otherwise you'll regret it. Shame really, because this should be all acounts be a sure fire winner, placed on the edge of the picturesque danson park, an inviting, handsome looking pub, terribly let down by total ineptness. milo71 - 6 Jul 2011 15:02 |
| we went to Danson Stables today and the service was appalling. We were told there would eb an hour wait for food, which we accepted as it was a bank holiday even though we were puzzled as there were so many empty tables. As i had my 2 year old daughter with me we ordered some bread an oil thinking this would come almost straight away and would see us all through the hour and stop her from getting bored. After ordering we were told that the bread could not come any earlier than the food and we would also have to wait an hour for this!! After an hour and ten minutes we were starting to think about asking how much longer when i noticed that the people that had ordered after us had their food and were already pretty much half way through it! I went and asked where our food was to be told it was just coming. 2 minutes later mine and my daughters food was brought out, the vegeatble on my lamb shank were barely cooked, let alone the summer roasted vegetables that were decribed on the menu! And the gravy on my daughters meal was baked into the mash potato and theplate was boiling hot where it had been left under the heat lamps for so long. We were told that they were waiting for the chicken on my sisters ceasar salad and that would be a couple of minutes. 5 minutes later the slad arrived and we were told to enjoy our meal... even though there was a meal missing!! when we asked for it they brought it out in about 2 minutes, the chips were soggy and the chicken was very dry, again where it had been left under the heat lamps. Totally unimpressed with the food and the service as we didnt even have our glasses cleared from our table for the whole meal. Will not be going back. CK1986 - 30 May 2011 19:03 |
| There can be few pubs as disappointing as Danson Stables. By rights, its setting in acres of parkland, in a beautiful building (even if it is just an old stable block) ought to make it a real gem. Unfortunately, it is anything but. I have been here twice now, on the second occasion just to see if it could be any more awful than the first. It was. Where to begin? There's a rubbish selection of real ale, even if the ones the keep are kept ok. But it is horribly let down by the food, which you can order off a menu that looks like it was time-warped out of 1982. Fancy a sharing platter of pigs in blankets and microwaved Camembert? I didn't but it looked like one of the less wretched options so I ordered it. What a mistake. Measly portions for almost £10, with just two slices of bread (although they were gracious enough to provide more for free), the dish was loaded with incredibly over-salted low grade meat products I wouldn't ordinarily give to my own dog. I wasn't expecting the best, but come on guys, this is an utter rip off. I should have known when, on ordering my food at the bar, the two staff had a conversation in front of me (but not including me) about the relative merits of the dish. It ended with the second member of staff proclaiming that she had never tried it because she didn't like the look of it. Great service guys. As for the cleanliness (or lack thereof), I won't bore you any more than I have, but suffice it to say that everything feels sticky from tables, to floors to bar tops and there's a rather odd smell in the place. In short, it needs a major kick up the backside. It could be a really good family pub. It isn't. ooblyboo - 19 Oct 2010 14:46 |
