The Stable opened on the Bristol Harbourside last year, with
a promise of ‘pizza, pies and cider’. A West Country chain, they have five
venues across the South-West, with a new location in Newquay due to open next
month. They focus on South-West producers, and there are plenty of local
name-checks to keep a Bristol food-lover happy.
The Stable is an impressively large restaurant, with huge
wooden sharing tables and a vast bar which dominates the area. The venue is
referred to as a ‘Cathedral to Cider’ which suggested to me that this was a
place where the drink might be more important than the grub.
