Here at The Pear at Parley, we believe every celebration should be a moment to cherish—and our guests certainly know how to throw a party! From milestone birthdays to fairy-tale weddings, The Stables has become the go-to venue for unforgettable events. Here’s a look back at some of our favourites:

At 8pm, the spotlight shifted to the premium buffet—a feast featuring sticky BBQ chicken skewers, mini lamb sliders, duck spring rolls, fish and chip boats, halloumi fries, sausage rolls, and so much more. It was a night filled with laughter, music, and memories, and we were so proud to play a part in celebrating Sandra’s milestone.

The entire day unfolded like something out of a storybook. Abby was radiant in her gown, Lee beamed with pride, and the children played happily on the grass, their laughter filling the air. As the sun set over the garden, the couple took to the dance floor for their first dance, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

We were honoured to host Abby and Lee’s big day, and it was truly a celebration to remember. From heartfelt speeches to the beautiful photographs that captured every moment, this wedding embodied love, joy, and togetherness.

As the night progressed, glasses were raised in countless toasts to Ash, his achievements, and the exciting adventures ahead. Guests sipped limoncello, laughed over shared memories, and sang the most spirited rendition of “Happy Birthday” we’ve ever heard. The party even spilled onto the new decking, where guests danced under the stars.

Ash’s 50th was truly an evening to remember, and we were thrilled to be part of it. The event not only showcased The Stables’ versatility but also captured the warmth and love of a close-knit community coming together to celebrate a remarkable couple.

If you’re a fan of perfectly grilled steaks paired with bold, mouth-watering sauces, our new Grills section on The Pear at Parley’s à la carte menu is here to impress. Take a look at the menu online here.

Featuring premium cuts like a juicy 7oz Centre Cut Fillet, indulgent 7oz Wagyu Bavette, and our exquisite 16oz Chateaubriand for two, each dish is crafted with high-quality ingredients and meticulous attention to detail. But it’s not just about the steak – it’s about the full experience, complete with rich flavours and the perfect finishing touches.

At The Pear, we take pride in our ability to transform simple ingredients into memorable meals. Our new Grills section celebrates the art of cooking steak to perfection, offering a variety of cuts to suit every palate and occasion. Here’s a peek at the highlights:

• 7oz Minute Steak with Chimichurri Butter – £24.00
• 7oz Centre Cut Fillet Steak – £34.00
• 7oz Wagyu Bavette d’Aloyau (maximum cooked to medium) – £36.00

Each dish is served with roasted flat mushrooms, vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, and crispy fries to complete your meal. And for those who crave a bit more sizzle, you can upgrade to a sizzling platter with sautéed peppers and onions for an additional £3.50.

Nothing complements a perfectly cooked steak like a luxurious sauce. Choose from three house-made options:

• Chimichurri – For a burst of fresh, herby flavour
• Peppercorn – The classic, rich, and creamy favourite
• Red Wine – Deep, bold, and packed with robust undertones

Each sauce is available for £4.25 and is crafted to enhance the flavour of each unique cut. Plus, our chefs have perfected each sauce recipe to deliver depth, balance, and just the right amount of indulgence.
