The name may prompt you to expect some age-worn inn but The Stable Door is a smart restaurant and tapas bar, and a popular choice for those who'd like to pop in for breakfast, a leisurely lunch or an evening drink. Spread over two floors, the bar downstairs awash with the aromas of tapas could help you kick start the evening with some delicious nibbles and a bracing cocktail. Upstairs, the dining area with dark beams offsets the light furniture and warm colour tones.

On the food side, Moroccan spiced roasted lamb and aromatic belly of pork with creamed potatoes could be preceded by crispy fried squid with aioli or salmon and cod fish cakes with saffron mayonnaise. Hot tapas dishes of pan-fried chorizo in red wine, chicken and ham croquettas with aioli and meatballs in almond, garlic and parsley sauce may impress meat eaters. The wine list offers a decent selection by the glass and bottle.
