Inspired by the fantasy world of fairy tales, the fabulous fables of Aesop and our spellbinding adventures around the globe, The Fable is a bar and restaurant out of the ordinary. Inventive, innovative and enchanting, every detail tells a story, from the sparkling crystal and beautiful blooms, to the twinkling candelabras and the carefully curated collection of storybooks, you're sure to be enthralled. A range of beautiful spaces – from a florist and deli to hideaway alcoves, a statement bar and mixology tables – have been individually tailored to fit any requirement, any time of the day. A creative food and cocktail menu will cater for lunch, post-work drinks and dinner, whilst bespoke events and masterclasses, customised experiences, pop-ups and quirky collaborations will offer something unique and out of the ordinary.

Once in the while, in the middle of an ordinary life the world gives us a fairy tale.

    Convenient location with a varied menu. Food was tasty but service was pretty slow for a Monday night - surprising as it didn’t seem that busy. However, great spot for business dinner if time isn’t an issue and you don’t need a quiet table.

    Okay for a quick work dinner. Drinks were missed or wrong. Service was okay but not what is expected

    Great food - we both ordered off the specials menu. We’ve eaten here before and had no issues, but today the service was slow and unprofessional. It’s not put us off returning though as the food is still a winner!
