Danson Stables in Bexleyheath

We had a wonderful time celebrating my son’s christening at Danson Stables. From start to finish, the entire team made us feel so welcome, and I’m so glad I chose to mark such a special moment here. I was a bundle of nerves, but their constant reassurance and support made all the difference. They truly went above and beyond to accommodate us. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the food, and everything ran smoothly thanks to the team’s attention to detail. I wholeheartedly recommend Danson Stables and would love to host another celebration here in the future. It’s rare to find such high-quality, trustworthy service these days—this team is an absolute gem

11 of us had afternoon tea here and was a really lovely atmosphere. I think they were short staffed which was probably the reason why we had to wait a little bit at times but overall definitely worth a visit and worth doing

We visited here on a Sunday 12pm and had pre-booked in advanced. When we arrived they asked if we wanted inside or outside, we chose outside as it was such a lovely day, the waitress went to take us but then turned and gave me the menus and said just find anywhere outside, rather than taking us to a table, and the service continued to go downhill from there. You are asked to order at the bar and to make note of your table number, our table did not have a number which we confirmed with a waitress before we went to order and she went to check for us but never returned. We proceeded to go to the bar to order and explained there we have no table number, to which the staff member at the till said “well every table has a number so you should look properly and find it”. Quite frankly her attitude was appalling. She then asked for another staff member to follow us to our table to check our number, they followed and agreed and said “yeah, these tables don’t have numbers, just say the second one from the gate” she relayed this to the staff member at the till to which no apology was given for that these tables do not have numbers but just continued attitude in their service. When it came to the food, one meal did not arrive with the rest, this was due to “it being missed off the ticket” so we had to wait till theirs arrived. We all ordered from the roast, two were beef roast, a lamb shank and a cauliflower tart. The food was lukewarm when it arrived, no carrots as mentioned on the menu, and the season veg was very little. The tart and meats were okay, but nothing special. I would not personally visit again, sadly the service was very disappointing and a shame especially as we brought family to visit as we had a lovely time previously but due to the staff customer service it let down the experience.

Came for a Sunday roast, delicious food, big portions. Service was prompt and helpful, thanks Jenny for taking care of our orders so well. Will come back more often!

I attended a wedding reception here on Thursday 02nd January 2025. The food was excellent and the service was quick and efficient. There were over 40 people and we were all served our meals together. The Chef made a special mushroom wellington for me as I was a stand in for another guest who wasn't vegetarian, it was a pleasant surprise and very tasty. The staff were smiley and friendly and seemed to be working very hard to ensure the guests were happy. All in all, a good experience.
