Always exceptional dining. The Sunday roast is unmatched to that of any others we have sought in search of the perfect roast. So much so that we recently visited the Heston Blumenthal’s establishment [The Hinds Head] in Bray for a Sunday roast, and whilst the lunch was faultless, we and accompanying friends believe it didn’t match that of the Gables.

Perfect restaurant for a very tasty lunch on a Friday with a good friend. We weren’t hurried at all, plenty of time to chat. Delightful staff and good lunch deal which includes a glass of wine. Will definitely use more often this winter.

Lovely food and excellent service once a new member of staff had taken over from the previous waitress who seemed to have disappeared. There was a little confusion about what sides if any would be included with our main courses. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Our new waitress was friendly and helpful with a smile at all times. We liked our table for 4 in the corner of the conservatory. A good restaurant to come to for a special meal!
