The Stables in Harborough

Visited here as it was highly recommended on TripAdvisor so thought I’d give it a go. We had the breakfast bap and ciabatta. Food wise it was really nice but not sure if it was a local supplier as there is a butchers on site. If they are then this should be advertised. People love eating local produce. The main thing that let it down was the cleanliness. With coronavirus going around and on the rise we now expect premises to be super clean. There was so much dust on window ledges, plug sockets and tops of seating. A lot of flies around too - you really could do with a fly killer front of house. I sincerely hope there’s one in the kitchen. All in all it was a nice morning. Nice coffee and nice staff. Just needs some more attention to detail

Visited for food last Saturday and was overwhelmed by the hospitality and the warm welcome received. Food was fantastic, as was the lashings of hot tea! Unfortunately, one of my pals cut his leg by accident quite badly, but the help and concern from staff, especially Sonia, was absolutely amazing! I can highly recommend this establishment for a relaxed brekky/lunch, and is wonderful for motorcyclists like us. Will deffo visit again soon!

Wanted some lunch as travelling to Derbyshire and this place ticked all the boxes. Excellent coffee and fresh brunch. Menu was plentiful and a difficult choice as all looked good. We didn't have cakes but they looked amazing. The staff were attentive and made us feel very welcome with our dog. Definitely recommend and trying to work out when next visit will be. On the way home maybe .......😀

Have visited this place numerous times, but this is the second visit since its been under new ownership.I liked the way the menu was previously..limited but with daily specials and food was always of a high standard.Despite the fact it opened at 9am it clearly wasn't ready for service and I had witnessed 2 people arrive and leave because if this.We ordered breakfast items..all.were just ok but definately not up to the previous standards before the takeover They had clearly decided to do something different by adding herbs in to the baked beans which didn't work and my friends plate arrived with a big wipe mark on it that had been used some excess beans.The plates were cold and the food only just warm despite waiting 40 minutes.There was numerous flies in the cafe which was disturbing and all the usual quirky artwork and nick knacks are gone.This place has sadly lost its way a real shame as myself and numerous friends frequented it regularly.

This was the perfect halfway point to meet my cousin for lunch, food was delicious, and the banana milkshakes were a hit with all of us! Very friendly staff, both in person and on the phone. Child and pooch friendly with a lovely seating area outside. We'll definately be back. Thank you for a lovely morning/early afternoon!

dropped in for just 1 black coffee.. 30 mins later still no coffee. Staff looked incompetent and confused as to who had ordered what. Somebody else had ordered just an apple juice and was told they would have to wait! Avoid at all costs unless u have lots of time and ate not in a rush

We were a bit disappointed when we visited here this week. Been several times in the past but not since it changed hands. Pleasant environment, barn style décor. Fairly limited menu (more breakfast items than lunch) but we easily found something we liked. However despite there only being 4 tables occupied when we arrived at 1pm, our food didn't arrive until 1.45, by which time we'd had two rounds of drinks whilst waiting. Food (eggy bread with tomatoes and bacon) was ok, not amazing, decent portion. Total bill for two of those and 4 coffees was just over £20 which I suppose was bumped up by the fact that we had more drinks because of the long waiting time. It has potential, so will try again and hope that this slow service was just a one off......

We have been before for an amazing breakfast which we love but as we leave we then look at the amazing Sunday roast so this Sunday we skipped breakfast and went for lunch hubby had 3 different meats and I had beef the food was super and you can have as much as you like and even go up again ( if you could !!!)What fabulous value at £8.95

A very nice restaurant that offers a good range of food. Perhaps a little pricier than some places but lots of good food on your plate. Only criticism and it’s a good one and I think probably common. Too much on the table and on the plate. Cut the quantities and cut the price,

A hidden gem. Pleasant snacks and delicious cake. Excellent service with a smile. Sit outside or inside.

All the way from Australia to visit our family who live in Cotesbach. We wandered on down for lunch and enjoyed the hospitality of the new owners. The fare, apart from breakfast is limited however, the sandwiches in particular were excellent, coffee goods as well. Prices very reasonable.Go on, give it a try.License pending? Maybe.

The ambience of previous visits had disappeared, along with the selection of craft-food items and the walls were stripped bare of the art work, which had previously adorned them. The outdoor seating had someone been placed to be less attractive too.We still might have eaten there had it not been for the flies which were buzzing around everything and it wasn't only the flies who couldn't see a commercial, electrical fly zapper anywhere.

My wife and I went for lunch as we do every 2 or 3 weeks. We were expecting the normal experience, which I have rated as 5 several times, but were surprised to find that it now has new owners.

This place is a little gem. They make a wonderful breakfast, and the staff are so welcoming, I plan to return. A very interesting place, as there is a court yard with other businesses. It is well worth a visit.

Delicious hot drinks and cakes, really friendly staff. Has baby changing and a relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I have eaten in The Stables several times a month for some years and have never been disappointed. On one occasion, we took guests with very particular dietary requirements - no problem, no hassle!

Stumbled across The Stables and very pleasantly surprised when we stepped inside. Rustic surroundings with friendly staff and delicious produce on offer. Coffee was particularly delicious and the flapjack good and chewy. Highly recommend. Good menu and reasonably priced locally produced fare.

Lovely food. Nice relaxed atmosphere and lovel staff. We visit regularly as we are not too far away. Definitely worth the drive there

This is a lovely rustic cafe that I visit quite a lot. The food is excellent, freshly made using locally grown ingredients. The log burner keeps the interior cosy and the service is good. Breakfast was delicious, particularly the sausage and granary toast.

This is a regular venue for us and it never disappoints. The coffee has a wonderful, deep, rich flavour and the food is always delicious. My bacon and cheeseburger, and my wifes' tuna and mango toasted sandwich were both superb.

Found this hidden rustic cafe and what a find! Outside looked like needed tlc but wow, through the door and it's a lovely rustic/bar/cafe. Great varied menus with yummy home-bakes. Cappuccino is the best I've tasted in a while. Had a piece of chocolate banana loaf which tasted oh so good! We will definitely be returning for a meal.

Came here for a birthday treat lunch after visiting Cotesbach Hall. We and our trainee guide dog puppy were made very welcome. Very homey atmosphere, nice tables to sit outside if its not raining. We had the specials, quiche and fish cakes, each at £7.95. Both were excellent, a really well made quiche and superb noodles with the fish cakes. Really top quality food and pleasant service. A reasonably priced pot of tea gave us six cups. The cakes we had for desert were absolutely superb. We are definitely coming back.

We were looking for a place to have breakfast just off the M1 that was nicer than a service station....

We called in for coffee and cake, on a whim. The coffee was excellent as was the coffee and walnut...

Quality food and friendly service in a wonderful location. The best place to come for a lovely meal that is...

El café es un tesoro escondido y como volver en el tiempo con la herreros golpear lejos en el fondo. Realmente me encantó cómo están creciendo las verduras y ensaladas justo afuera del café. Muy acogedor por dentro, como el aspecto del quemador de madera....

Paramos para tomar té y pasteles y aunque el té era agradable y la tarta bien (un poco seco) la señorita que nos servía sólo puede ser descrito como un grosero. Ella parecía más interesado en su teléfono en que servir nosotros, y ni siquiera...

This was a quant cafe with home made local craft items on the walls, it is what it says and stable/barn.

Té preciosa y tarta y personal muy amable, gran lugar para ir. También podrá tomar su perro manso

It is only small and very rustic but the food is absolutely terrific. It gets busy at the weekend so be prepared to arrive early.....or wait. And the wait would be worth it! Highly recommended and will be coming back again for sure.

we stopped her for breakfast as we were looking for somewhere nice to have lunch on our way home ,it was a lovely find we had a cooked breakfast and a big pot of tea it was lovely nice and relaxed and we came away feeling full .we also purchased some scones,fruit ones and some cheeses ones they were delicious x

A small cafe off the main road. I was not expecting much and only stopped for a cup of tea really. Stayed nearly an hour. Excellent food, tea that came in a proper teapot not a "Tin" thing. The tea for two was good quality, a real teapot which actually poured and had 7 cups of tea in it for £3.20.Staff were a delight and free high speed internet. Already been back.

Not bad food just a little bit bland. my latte was a little bitter and no froth on top, and the overall price was a bit expensive for what it was.

Having seen The Stables online for a place to go on Easter Saturday promising lots of engaging activities we were very disappointed to arrive to an almost deserted venue with almost nothing happening.Apparently the website and fliers had the wrong date - in this day and age that's pretty unforgivable.I hope they have / had a good day as it looks a lovely venue - I'm just not sure how people will know their event is on.Better luck next time.

Can't find better than the wonderful quiche served in deep crispy pastry. 3 varieties each day and I had smoked mackerel, beetroot and horseradish was beautiful, served with 3 mini salad pots. Lots of daily choices such as pano is, soup, jackets and specials. Cake is always exceptional. Not cheap but definitely worth it. Can sit in or outside.

Stumbled across this delightful tea room whilst house hunting in the area. Lovely rural setting but very clean and tidy tables. All homemade goodies on offer and delicious. Served by very friendly and helpful staff. Obviously a regular place for many to stop, read their paper and have a bite to eat. Plenty of seating outside in a very sunny spot. Will definitely call again when next in the area. Too good to miss.

Had a lovely lunch here. Cute little place with good gluten free lunch and cake options and yummy hot chocolate!

I've been here a few times now as a treat for lunch. The quiche and salad is delightful, cakes are too many to choose from and great coffee. In the chilly weather the wood burning stove is lit. In the summer the doors are open. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. Just make the visit - you won't be disappointedd

We followed the sign off the main road and eventually found it in an old courtyard which seems to have a few things going on. The café is small and was very busy when we were there. The selection of food is not extensive, but what is there is interesting and tasty. The ordering process slightly malfunctioned and I ended up with a quiche, which I normally wouldn't have chosen, but which was delicious. The service was friendly and prompt, and there is a small shop with lots of interesting things including a fine selection of local bottled beer.

Tucked away in a tucked away village, this cafe sits among an oasis of peace and civilization, with an organic butchers, greengrocers and blacksmiths among other things. The cafe itself provides choice from a variety of fresh and natural foods for lunch or snacks. We chose soup and were not disappointed; it was delicious, served with an ample amount of fresh bread and butter...and some very tempting, huge home-made cakes. It's the antithesis of the ubiquitous, anonymous and impersonal chains which have spread everywhere. A warm welcome and a well-lit log burner were good too on a winter's day.

As usual, a fabulous lunch today.The soup was really tasty and the chunks of bread that accompanied it were delicious.I had a chorizo and cream cheese toasted sandwich, which was also delicious. All served promptly, by a helpful and friendly waitress.This place is a real favourite and worth seeking out if you haven't tried it yet.Thankyou.

Good for breakfasts, lunches, tea, all home cooked, cakes to due for, tea and coffee really good, nice cosy atmosphere.

Tucked away in a most magical yard...2mins off the main road between Lutterworth & Rugby. Amazing range of delicious drinks with homemade food. I certainly recommend the Lemon drizzle. Greeted with warm and friendly smiles...handmade furniture, local art and a cozy log burner makes for a feast for all the senses.

Saw the signs for this place on the way to Rugby and thought why not give it try. Set in the stables courtyard We had a lovely fresh cooked breakfast sat near a wood burning stove. Will definitely visit again when in the area

Such an unusual, quirky place. My first visit. So friendly, we were made really welcome as was the dog. Scrumptious cakes. Can't wait to return as the meals looked lovely, also go when the other outlets are open such as the butchers.

We called in at The Stables as a stop off last weekend having never been before. Parked in the rear car park where it shares its courtyard with other small businesses and a Merlin engine! The place itself was lovely and plenty of seating. Dogs welcome inside too which is great to see. Had a very long wait for our food despite it not seeming too busy but it was fantastic quality when it arrived. It did seem a little pricey in my opinion but this possibly reflects the ingredients used? No menu on tables, only board at counter which wasn't the clearest thing to choose from. Would definitely use again if passing though.

Called here for the first time having seen the sign on the main road, won't be the last time we go! Tucked away in the grounds of a larger property as one of several units -makes it sounds like a modern themed "courtyard" development. Until you arrive and drive in to see a truly old huddle of buildings, with rooves that look as though they've seen many summers, and winters. After the somewhat antiseptic look you see in many National Trust properties, this is an authentic old English countryside tea room. The floors slope, the furniture looks handmade and there are genuine roof beams. The scones were fresh that day, and delicious, the homemade flapjacks were succulent and tasty - you wanted to lick your fingers instead of politely using a serviette! The service was friendly and prompt and we will be visiting again soon. It's handy for the M1 Lutterworth junction 20, and offers something that no motorway service area can ever offer. (Mind you, their not open 24/7, but good things come in small measures.)

I've praised this delightful place before and cannot resist doing it again because it deserves it! Anyone feeling peckish between junctions 19 and 21 of M1 or junction 1 of M6 really should make the detour here. Superb coffee, delicious cakes, and ideal for a light lunch - I recently had a tasty quiche served with a chickpea salad that was to die for. They sell local beer and a good choice of chutneys and the like, often made from produce grown on-site, also the hard-to-find Henderson's Yorkshire Relish. The organic butcher in the stable yard is worth a visit as are the other businesses there, and rhe nearby church is architecturally unusual and merits a look.

I went there for lunch today. I was super hungover and was craving soup. They'd ran out of soup but saw my need and made me a fresh bowl there and then. The soup was delicious, the place is lovely and everyone had a fabulous time enjoying my hilarious anecdotes. Oh how we laughed. Anyway, great first experience there for me and lovely little yard with other things to see. Hidden gem

A go to place for tea and cake. Dog friendly. Veg/vegan friendly. Popular with cyclists. Sells fruit, veg. preserves (grown/made on the estate. Saturday markets in season. Seek it out

Yet another really tasty lunch. Chick pea fritters were perfectly made and cooked and the fish cakes were delicious. The star of the meal was the chunky tartar sauce. An excellent meal, served by a very amiable waitress, oh, and the coffee is great - smooth and strong.It's definitely worth seeking this little gem out.

Superb food as ever! Plenty of choice on the menu, delicious coffee - and the cakes....Oh my word! Fantastic all round. Always my eatery of choice when I travel through the Cotesbach and Lutterworth area.

I visit The Stables fairly regularly with a group of friends. We have breakfast/brunch there on a Saturday morning. This is a close to home cooking as you will find in the locality. Everything is cooked to order and delivered piping hot. This can mean a slight delay but the delicious coffee and convivial chat pass the time in exactly the way we want.If you want fast food - go to McDonalds for breakfast. If you want home cooked traditional breakfast then try The Stables, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely home cooking which was enjoyed in the sun in the lovely rustic outdoor seating area. The cakes all looked so delicious it was hard to choose

A lovely spot to rest and eat in - especially if the weather is fine and you sit outside in the yard. The Stables produces excellent yummy wholesome food at sensible prices. Cakes are fab - and always a superb gluten free option. You can also buy your organic meat on the site, or pick up some olive oil, unusual cordials, teas and drinks in the cafe itself. I love the goats cheese and beetroot on g/f toast. I recommend this place - if you are on the M1 get off at jct 20. It's 3 minutes up the road and if you are lucky you may get to see a Merlin engine on site!

Was searching for somewhere to get a Friday breakfast treat near Lutterworth and The Stables came up trumps great food, lovely service, in an amazing place 10/10 will deffo be back

Having read the reviews we were very disappointed. Lovely setting and happy, polite staff who apologised for the inordinate wait for 2 slices of cake, 1 tea and 1 cappuccino. We wanted lunch but the only savoury offering seemed to be quiche (which looked delicious) with a very sparing amount of salad garnish. We didn't want quiche so were left with a selection of cakes - we settled on a tasty coffee and walnut cake which would have been much improved with an offer of single cream to counteract its dryness.Looking in the small kitchen it was obvious to me (51 years catering experience) that it would have been easy to offer at least, say, bacon or sausage sandwiches/rolls and homemade soup option. Went home and upped my dose of insulin to counteract the cake - nothing on the menu for a diabetic and I even had to request sweeteners from behind the counter for my drink! Would love to go again for the setting and lovely atmosphere - maybe they will realise that they need to cater for diabetics also. Until they do we will go elsewhere.

Look around The Stableyard Craft units and enjoy Tea/Coffee and of course delicious cakes in The converted barn Stables Tearooms. We was not disappointed and we do not think you will be either.

The menu choice was great and contained all home cooked and some home grown meals. The cafe is quaint and in lovely surroundings next to a few little shops. The staff were nice and service was good.

A Jewell in the countryside, called in for lunch, never been before but it is well worth going out of your way to find. Excellent menu, fresh local produce made superbly by a brilliant chef. Very friendly and helpful staff, nothing is too much trouble. Please try it, you won't be disappointed.

We go to the Stables quite often for breakfas,t lunch or afternoon and it's always delicious food in a lovely environment and served by friendly staff.

Stopped for breakfast on the way back to Atherstone, lovely surrounding and quaint building, 5 of us ordered breakfast and we were told that there would be a slight delay, didn't realise that a slight delay would've over an hour.As I said a lovely place but definitely not set up to serve when it's busy, kitchen not big enough and not enough staff cooking, For the food we got its overpriced.If you just want a coffee or a bit of cake then I'm sure you would be fine, just don't order anything cooked.

Popped in for morning coffee, chatty staff, great coffee. Plenty of seating both inside and out, quite rustic. Lots of craft work for sale, plus breads, mini delicatessan. Situated in a collection of buildings off the main road from Lutterworth to Rugby road in Cotesbach. Felt very relaxing. Have been to another cafe across the road and much prefer this.

This place is a little gem. Hidden away in a "higgledy piggledy" courtyard, sitting in the yard and enjoying a coffee and a delicious slice of cake, is a perfect way to while away an hour on a summers' afternoon.The quality of the food and drink is excellent, the prices are fair and the service is friendly. Well worth a visit.

The cafe is situated in a sort of artist colony. We had lunch and it was very good..we had quiche very nice but large for lunch!! Nice selection of beers and ciders to compliment lunch.

very friendly people.in a hidden away place quiet surroundings.very popular.made 2 visits in 1 day.cakes a speciality.sat outside in the sun.would go again.card stamped for coffee after 6 you get a free 1.

Me and my Sister were looking for somewhere to have Saturday lunch and stumbled across Cotesbach. This place was amazing and the food was delicious. They even catered for my Sister's gluten free diet which was great. I would definitely recommend and re-visit.

Fantastic hearty breakfast with the most amazing sausage supplied by the local butcher, to which I had to purchase some for my own use, specially as the pork comes from his own pigs. The coffee is something else someone from the big chains needs check for themselves , and the service is second to none.

Wow! A lovely rustic cafe , warm and cosy , great staff , everything from coffee and cake to a full lunch , my favourite is their quiches, also a small deli shop.

This is my once a week treat to myself, best breakfast in the area, Great place to take friends for tea and cake or a light bite in the afternoon.

Reviews on TripAdvisor were excellent. Arranged to meet friends, website said closed on Mondays, except Bank Holidays. Very disappointed to find they were shut

Everything on our plates was made with care. My son's organic steak burger silenced him with it's deliciousness for some time - and he considers himself a burger connoisseur. It came - cooked as requested - in a brioche, with a perfectly cooked pheasants egg, homemade coleslaw, beautiful potato wedges and salad. the organic meat comes from the on site butchery.I had a divine quiche - warm, slightly wobbly ( not one of those where the egg is solid and more like a well cooked omelette) with the same trimmings as the burger had. Dessert was a monster piece of perfect coffee cake. The site also has a working blacksmith, a silversmith and the butcher with added interest of the Cotesbach Organic gardens and estate for you, so all in all, a delightful couple of hours could be spent here. You could event take a quiche home - I invested in some mocktails - rhubarb mojito looks good!

Lovely, quality food, friendly staff.place is rustic with crafts homemade and a homely feel.My 2nd visit will come again.

Turn off the M1 at J20 and head towards Lutterworth; but at the unmistakeable "aircraft" roundabout turn left towards Rugby. About a mile up the road, turn right into the little village of Cotesbach, and you'll see signposts for the Stables Cafe. Equally, you can turn off the M6 at J1 and head towards Lutterworth, turning left into Cotesbach.Three of us went there at lunchtime today. It's cosy (there was a wood-burning stove warming the tables area). We ordered our lunches and they arrived less than a quarter of an hour later. I had a stack of haggis and black pudding served on a circular piece of bread, topped with a pheasant's egg. It was served with a baby leaf salad (nice balsamic dressing) and excellent home-made coleslaw made with red onion. The stack was as good as it gets. The haggis was well flavoured and almost creamy, with the barley grains giving the right amount of texture, The Bury-style black pudding was equally good, of a medium flavour and complementing the haggis very well. The little fried pheasant egg (a richly-flavoured first, and I hope not the last, for me) perching on the top, was cooked to perfection. Top notch food.My companions had a home-made quiche and a toasted sandwich respectively, and both remarked how enjoyable they were. I was the only one to finish with a slice of cake. I chose the Lime & Pistachio sponge, which was pretty much heaven on a plate. It was thoughtfully delivered with two forks, such was the size of the portion.A good cup of tea, apparently, though I had pink lemonade.Altogether a really good light lunch at a reasonable cost (£28 for the three of us). I will be going again. Only downside: car parking. I think there was an event going on in another part of the old farmstead buildings, and they had nicked most of the spaces. However, managed it with a bit of manoeuvring and a squeeze. There are several outdoor tables in the patio area fronting the cafe, though it was raining when we went. Come summer, it'll be delightful.Oh, and the owners and staff were efficient and friendly. I even had a brief chat witht he chef in his tiny kitchen. They are all clearly passionate about the food they serve, and deservedly proud of their cafe.

Went 4 breakfast 2 day the cafe is very relaxing warm and friendly I've been a few times now the breakfast muffin with egg and bacon was awesum not a long wait 4 food as its all cooked fresh which is the best ingredients cakes etc very tasty I normally take a slice home not bin 4 lunch yet but will try it out soon great family run friendly cafe

A rustic yet comfortable cafe set in a quiet village location. We have been several times, the food is always fantastic-. Our last visit we indulged in their full cooked breakfast made from quality ingredients (which was fabulous), served with a generous pot of tea, by smiling friendly staff, how more truly British can you get.

Stumbled across The Stables while looking for somewhere to stop off the M6. A delightful find: lovely quaint decor, good food and friendly staff (that were more than happy to accommodate making something simple for my baby girl). Definitely much more pleasant than a services station!

I visited today with my young children. It was warm and cosy with the wood burner adding even more charm to this gorgeous building. The staff were really friendly and the service was quick. It was a treasure trove of things to look at and my girls were fascinated by all the crafts dotted about. We had popped in for cakes- I had the most amazing cream tea, with a delicious warm scone. The girls loved their flapjacks and have asked if we can visit again tomorrow! We will be visiting soon because there is so much more of the menu that I would like to sample. Many thanks

this place is beaut. the breakfast was amazing. all ingrediants fresh and high quality. no expese spared. glass of milk of the menue which is my drink of choice anyway so bonus points from me. also the cakes were amazing i got 2 to take away and a malt loaf. lemon cake on left and blueberry and marzipan on right. beaut!!!

I visited the stables today for the first time for a meet up and lunch win friends. What a great little place it is. Very small and quaint, friendly and welcoming staff, and a lovely atmosphere. Great selection of hot and cold drinks available, lovely homemade cakes, and a small selection of hot meals including quiches, salads, jacket potatoes and toasties. All the produce is so fresh, well presented and most of all very tasty. There is also lots of trinkets and foodie bits available to buy for very reasonable prices.We will definitely be returning, a great place to relax with friends.

A lovely tiny café well worth a visit. Food is homemade and fresh, not the normal run-of-the-mill menu. Lovely cosy atmosphere, just a few tables and a log burner, but several outdoor seats for warmer weather. In a sheltered spot with several small artisan workshops surrounding it.

Small and quaint place, which I loved. Not many tables so just be prepared at busy weekends. Food was fanatic, all home made food and could not fault it due to being a chef myself. Service was lovely and I felt very welcome, though it was my first visit here. I would well recommend this place. Lovely staff.

A lovely converted stable building which is comfortable and tastefully furnished and decorated. We were greeted with a warm smile and were very happy with the service we received.Our drinks and cakes were lovely and very good value.All in all, we will visit again, and tell our friends about this place...

Delicious homely food in a restored barn. I keep thinking how does the chef give some much attention to each item on the menu, so that each mouthful is so tasteful. Quiche to die for ... how does the chef do it? Potato wedges that are perfectly spiced and herbed. The Stables has a good range of savories and an amazing range of sweets and other bits and pieces. Better than average range of teas. All the staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. Prices seem better than reasonable. A real resource for South Leicestershire. Thank you

Adequate lunch - there was definitely nothing wrong with it but slightly disappointing having read reviews and expected better. Waited quite along time for the food to be served despite being a sole diner - I had actually finished my whole pot of tea before my food arrived. It was not that busy and so couldn't quite understand the delay

Every dish are home made, it's just delicious, I go there about one time per week and it's always a real pleasure.Thank you

Visit to the adjacent shops, small but good lunch time menu, Very good homemade quiche, with salad and cake.

Visited with a friend recently and we loved the character and charm of the place, cozy inside, staff were friendly and brunch was tasty. Definitely worth a visit! Buildings were described as dilapidated (read in an earlier review), however we didn't think this was the case at all. The cafe is set in an old stable courtyard, hence the name, and it is a quaint little place and one that we are looking forward to returning to soon.

Lovely courtyard setting. The first of one of many visits. Ordered the quiche which was absolutely lovely served with home made coleslaw and fresh salad. I make a mean quiche but yours is divine! I'd love to know your secret! Good coffee and cakes looked great but I was too full after my mains!

A quirky peaceful and restful place to visit yet not far from the busy main road.The food and drinks are lovely and varied and not just your usual fare. Gorgeous, helpful & friendly staff who value you as a customer. From a cup of coffee through to a good lunch, you'll really enjoy this place which is a real pleasure to visit. If you go too often, you'll become addicted....

Returned to this little gem for another satisfying lunch. The savoury quiche/tarts are great, today I had their black pudding and bacon and the partner had spring onion and Red Leicester, the mother in law had grilled goats cheese on ciabatta toast with beetroot salad.. All great. Service equal to quality of food.

A real treat of a rustic cafe in a secluded setting yet so close to Lutterworth. Inside the cafe is cosy with mismatched chairs, benches tables and a lovely log burner. The menu is small yet covers all tastes. Handmade individual quiches, sandwiches and salads (lunch), plus 4 specials of the day including homemade soup. Theres a good selection of delicious cakes and muffins to go with espresso based coffees and tea infusions. They also serve a good range of soft drinks and wines. Can't wait for our next visit!

We visited the Stables for breakfast on 2 consecutive mornings with our 2 young children and friends who live in a local village. This is a wonderfully cosy cafe in a lovely courtyard setting. The second morning the lady serving us remembered our order from the previous day! The food was absolutely delicious and the little details such as children's books and games made such a difference. I have visited a number of times now and the service and quality of food has always been fantastic.

Seeking a quiet alternative to crowded, noisy motorway services l chanced on a sign on A426 directing to this place and thought it sounded promising. It was! I had a delicious light lunch of fresh-testing quiche and salad with excellent coffee in a pleasant quiet courtyard with interesting shops including an organic butcher. Definitely worth coming off the motorway for.

A friend and I had lunch at The Stables today and found it utterly charming. The decor is cosy & welcoming, and the food was superb! Add the friendly, informative staff - a total delight & I will definitely be going back!

Our lunch was quite delicious and the surroundings delightfully understated,long may they remain so.

We visit this great little cafe as often as we can. If we are travelling past we always have to stop for a cuppa, lunch, whatever!! The menu may not be extensive but the quality of the food is lovely, all home made and very fresh. Service is friendly and usually swift. There are also "goodies" to buy to take away. They also have a "fill a bottle" service for rape seed oil and olive oil which tastes very good!! Also, beware of the chocolate!!!!The other shops in the complex are also worth a look. Jason's butchers meat is amazing.

Met friends here for a birthday lunch and it was lovely. Lovely fresh food with a home made feel. I had the soup which was lovely with fresh bread and my friends had the quiche and salad which looked amazing. We then all finished with the most delicious cakes and great coffee. Very good prices and the service was good too. Well worth a visit. Located in a lovely woodland surrounding and plenty of parking too.

Popular café & market garden shop. Great for buying fresh locally grown produce at reasonable prices. Great little café serving lovely looking food & cakes. However with food allergies its a bit limiting. Popular with families & dogs.

We have visited this cute little cafe a couple of times recently and we have not been disappointed. The setting is very sweet, however I do agree with the other review that the other buildings are a little shabby. But the food and service definitely make up for it. The ladies are very friendly and chirpy and the toasted muffins with sausage, bacon and eggs are beautiful. The quality of the ingredients is evident in the taste. Coffee also lovely and lots of nice little treats to take away with you inside. Would definitely recommend
