Stayed at hotel next door so a great location for us. Are there two nights and booked both times. All staff were very polite and friendly. Food was excellent - Moroccan beef and Moroccan chicken were great and the small yakitori starter sticks were very tasty. Excellent choice of beers and wines.

Superb service and the food was off the charts good. Expanding trousers are needed, as the portions are large and very filling. This was our first vist and it did not disappoint, the beers, cider and wines were all on point to match the service and food. Highly recommended and already booked in for my next visit

Lacey was really friendly and gave us great service. We used the website to order and pay and it was very easy. We loved the variety of options for food and drink. We were visiting for the Bank Holiday weekend and enjoyed it souch we ate dinner there twice.

I absolutely loved the place. I always thought to walk in but the busy life seemed to take up all my time. But today I had it enough to treat myself. Oh, I should do it much sooner! The food was beautiful and service was excellent. It wasn't busy therefore I could enjoy the place. Me and my partner we both agreed that The Blue Stoops must be on our regular list. Thank you for making our coronation weekend so much better!

Very lovely place, kind staff and amazing food. The big yakitori sticks are massive and can definitely be shared, especially during lunch time! Harry’s service was amazing

Lovely pub. Amazing food the Cajun Chicken burger was delicious the flavours blended perfectly. Finished off with the cookies and ice cream, delicious and a very reasonable price for a dessert. The server was very friendly and really put us at ease and had a chat with us. I will be returning.
