Carriages Restaurant in South Gloucestershire

A lovely setting for a wonderful dining experience. The meals were perfect, as are the staff.

My husband and I had Sunday lunch at the Stables yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. We chose the roast beef and it was delicious as were the great variety of vegetables served with it, especially the crispy roast potatoes. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

We are lucky enough to have eaten many times at The Stables and always had a great meal. Karen makes everyone welcome and all the team are so friendly and you’re not rushed. BUT, last night my wife and I had a meal that was simply superb - the starters of Chicken Taco and Beetroot Cured Salmon were fantastic but the main course of Beef Short rib for me and Hake for my wife were soo good, you just didn’t want the meal to end. So we had desserts of Baked Cheesecake and Blackberry Franzipan to end the meal. We particularly love that ingredients including the meat are very locally sourced and the Woodchester wines are really good. This is a very special restaurant with great atmosphere, wonderful food and drink and worth every penny for truly excellent dining experience. Can not recommend highly enough.

On entry we were seated and then waited 15 minutes for a menu. When viewing the menu the "waiter" who was very hard to understand stated he would return for a drink order in a minute. 10 minutes later he returned and took a drink order. Drinks were bought to the table and food orders taken. Meals arrived 25' later additional drinks were ordered, then a young lad returned stating that the beers orders were not available therefore a re- order was required. The meals were very small on a very big plate, and quite poor. On a visit to the toilet they were not very clean and were patently not checked cleaned throughout the evening. Very expensive bill for not a lot of food, with the food that was presented quite poor. It does appear as though the high final bill was to repay for the renovation and decor. Would not recommend.

Beautiful food, lovely welcoming staff, great wine, excellent ambience, really lovely place to have our wedding anniversary celebration meal.

Came here for my birthday meal with my husband. We shared the goats cheese starter which was absolutely delicious... I was hungry I forgot to get a picture of that dish. My main I went for the pork tenderloin (pork 3 ways in this dish all yummy) which was amazing loved every bit. The atmosphere was excellent and had a nice table by the fire. The staff were also really good and let you get on and didn't fuss and always very polite and helpful. The venue it self is stunning and j would highly recommend.

What an outstanding place. Friendly welcoming staff in a rustic comfortable setting.Food was superb!We feel fortunate to have found this gem!

We had an absolutely amazing meal at The Stables at Vayre House tonight! We were in Chipping Sodbury this evening when we decided we wanted to go for some dinner. We were looking around on the high street when suddenly I remembered The Stables at Vayre House down Hatters Lane. We took a walk down Hatters Lane and we were blown away by how gorgeous Vayre House was. We were able to get a table as a walk in as it was a Thursday (we were told during our evening that if it was a Friday or a Sunday then we would have probably have had to book). The outdoor seating area was also very pretty and had a lovely ambience. We sat outside and had a gin and tonic and our starter before sitting in the restaurant to have our main meal and dessert. The staff were welcoming and super friendly, the owner and our waitress Rachel both made our experience here top notch - great customer service! The interior inside the restaurant was stunning and had a country home feel to it. The food was incredible and probably the best local meal I have ever had (which says a lot as we are proper foodies!). We had the Homemade Vegetable Crisps with spicy mayo to start, followed by the Sous Vide Local Lamb Rump with truffled dauphinoise potato, picked carrots and a red wine jus, and for dessert I had the Mille Feuille with crème patisserie, fresh raspberries and raspberry sorbet and Martin had the Vanilla Panna Cotta served with macerated strawberries and Strawberry consommé. The accompaniments with the main meal really made the lamb dish incredible, you could really taste all of the layers of the dauphinoise potato and the whole dish was perfectly seasoned with a great balance of flavours. My dessert was light and well presented and beautifully made. I would definitely go back to The Stables at Vayre House again and I want to book in to go for their afternoon tea which also looks amazing.

Beautiful little restaurant that has been fully renovated behind the Grade II listed building of Vayre House. Keep a look out for the signs overwise it can be easily missed. We walked from the High Street of Chipping Sodbury. The Property still has its original features of Elm and Oak Vaulted Ceiling and the original Blacksmiths fireplace.​The restaurant is clean and stylish, it had a great comfortable feeling and I felt relaxed. There was a peaceful ambience feeling. We walked up the pebble stone driveway and was welcomed by the lovely waitress Rachel. We sat out the front because the weather was nice and enjoyed a few Gins and also ordered the Vegetable Crips. For my main I had the lamb and for dessert the Panna Cotta.The lamb was cooked just perfectly and the vegetables tasted amazing. I didn't want the meal to finish and for the first time in a long time I got the urge to pick my plate up and lick it. Of course I didn't because that would just be wrong but that was how good the meal was. You can see into the kitchen and I have a little look and thanked the chef for a great meal.Will definitely be revisiting this little gem.

An absolute gem of a place. One of the nicest roasts in Bristol and a great menu. Would definitely recommend the duck dishes and a beautiful setting.
