The Stables Coffee Shop in North West Leicestershire

Superb visit last weekend. They were clearly very busy but the atmosphere, food and service could not be faulted. We were served by Jonny who was just an absolute legend! He couldn't do more to ensure our stay was perfect. Even whilst clearly spinning many plates he was patient, humourous and accommodating. We had our little boy with us and he ensured he got his food as soon as possible. My wife said she had the 'best panini' she'd had in a long time and I had the most amazing tandoori chicken flatbread. We will certainly be back - just a big thank you for a lovely lunch!

Can’t recommend this place enough! Jonny and team were amazing during our visit on Sunday. It was really busy, yet despite that they still delivered an excellent service - making tweaks to the menu, providing recommendations & just generally going above and beyond. All the staff were really friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious - we’ll definitely be back, thank you!

myself and a friend visited of our first lunch to The Stables and wow the food was amazing. We chose the Oriental and Tandoori Flatbread but because we couldn't decide we asked if we could half and half on each plate. John the guy who looked after us was fantastic his interaction with us was excellent and made our visit. Also a big shout out to the chefs Pat and John the food was so tasty and delicious and for also going to the trouble of splitting both dishes so that we could try both of them. All of the staff are extremely friendly and this is the reason we will be regular visitors and we would highly recommend The Stables x

Lovely start to our weekend. Popped in for a breakfast and it was the best I’ve had in a long time. Booking needed on a Saturday morning though as can get busy. Great to see the cover over the outside seating area too. Can’t wait for a hot chocolate out there when it starts getting colder.

Called in for a breakfast for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. As always the service was great and the food was amazing. Was a little worried about getting a seat but now they have an outdoor seated area under a gazebo it makes it so much easier. Perfect for a nice coffee when it’s a bit drizzly outside. Will be back very soon.

Been coming here for years. Lovely place. Nice to get a coffee after a walk. Places to sit inside or out.

Decent coffee and stunning bakewell, lovely location, dogs welcome outside

Grabbed an iced coffee, loved the decor inside and very friendly staff!

Busy on weekends during the summer but still a great place for tea and a scone.

We went to the stables BBQ & Beats event and had the BEST time. Started with live singers. Followed by a DJ playing Ibiza classics. We had the BBQ bottomless brunch and the food was fantastic. Brill service. Delicious cakes. Lovely courtyard setting. A real pleasure to visit !

This used to be a really great place for a coffee and snack after a long walk, but I'm not sure if it's changed hands as things have gone downhill at the stables. First, why are you asked to leave a tip at the point of ordering how can we know what the level of service will be at that time. Oddly, the waitresses serving were the best thing about the place..... it wasn't busy, but the food was a long time coming... I had an egg bap... the egg looked as if it had been manufactured in a McDonald's way dry and rubbery. My wife's breakfast snack was equally uninspired, and the problem is that it's not cheap. You can't just smother with sauce and put it down to experience as you feel for the price that you should be getting something more.... possibly, customers should be requesting a refund up front instead of leaving a tip.

This Tuesday I was here for breakfast, I asked for avocado on toast for and got chillies on toast instead, This photos will speak for themselves. :/

No wonder they opened a second location, this place is a gem!! Fantastic food selection, incredible coffee, and lovely cakes! The staff are all so lovely. I am gluten free and there are tons of options- and staff are well versed with allergies so that makes me feel so comfortable going again and again. Definitely grab my favourite coffee- an oat milk flat white with a dash of hazelnut.

Arrived at this place VERY hungry after a visit to nearby Calke Abbey were the queues in both cafe and restaurant were long and the food didn't look that appetising. Glad we came here instead. Great menu - hard to choose. Best baked potatoes ever (the Mexican). Lovely coffee and cakes. Really nice staff and fast service. Dog friendly too. What more could you ask for? My only slight niggle was that we found the music in the front room a bit too loud, but it wasn't too bad at the back.

Great selection of Gluten Free food, cakes and Coffee. Such a nice surprise. Had never been here before but the service was fast despite being bank holiday. Cake and Coffee arrived immediately (had barely sat down) and shortly followed by the food which was absolutely delicious. Lovely outdoor area which was pram friendly and staff were very efficient and polite. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

had some drinks and some cake...which was fine then come to pay at til......and you have to select a button add 20% tip add 10% tip don't give a tip i felt guilty pressing the no tip button....why would you risk upsetting your customers like that ?? i would not do this in my businesses

Delicious toasties and great coffee!

Great food, the best coffee around and set in a beautiful courtyard! Looking forward to our next visit.

Lovely coffee and staff excellent but PLEASE! change the rolls you use. The cheapest tastless white cobs available. Talk to the lovely bakery across the court , yours let you down ,mine was broken up underneath and put back together! We left them so £6 for 3 sausages an a bit of bacon was poor.

One of my favourite coffee shops. Lovely staff & location plus the food is delicious! Would definitely recommend The Stables to everyone.

Consistently good service, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. Thank you for your efforts it was really appreciated. 5 star review because the stables really is that good!

Food was absolutely delicious, huge selection of gluten free options. Staff cannot be more helpful or polite. Will definitely come again

Absolute extortionate prices for disgusting food. Sub par food that is priced similar to a mid range restaurant. But tastes nothing like. £6 for a meager burnt sausage cob and £3 for a small pot of tea. £8.50 for a hacket potato!! £9 for a sandwich Really....... your food is no where near good enough to charge these prices. Absolute disgraceful pricing policy. Staff are pleasant.

Perfect service from the moment we walked in. It was pretty full inside and out yet the young lady who saw us come in approached and managed to find us a table. We ordered drinks and food at the counter and the drinks came out within 5 minutes. The food came soon after but was really fresh. We had one of the specials; katsu chicken loaded fries…wow. Customised for our son who didn’t want the chilli/chilli jam, and uncustomised for my husband. I had one of the toasties, gluten free option (which there were lots of choice for those who need it), and it was delicious. Our 4 yr old niece had a kids lunch box which was jammed full, enough for her to take away and snack on later. The decor, furnishings and cleanliness have to be commented on as these days, they’re difficult to find as well as amazing food and service. That’s why The Stables gets a 5star from us. We will be returning and recommending! Thankyou 😃

Food was very very nice and the prices where very reasonable.

Visited a couple of weeks ago. Best breakfast I’ve ever had. Food was brilliant. Atmosphere is always lovely, it’s always busy and the customer service is always exceptional.

Superb brunch 10/10 absolutely delicious.

Friendly and efficient staff. Food and drink expensive.

Unexpectedly good! And hugely popular as a result.

Enjoyed tonight’s French evening, courses just the right size. Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. Loved the food, great choices for most palettes.

I visited the coffee shop and when I arrived, my baby was crying due to hunger! I arrived feeling quite flustered but a lovely lady came and helped me in through the door with the pram. I sat down to feed my baby straight away and a lovely lady came over to ask if I would like a drink so she took my order from the table instead of me going to the counter. I was made to feel very welcome and valued. I have visited once before with my eldest daughter, and we also had a great experience then too! The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!

One of, if not, the best Eggs Royale I have ever had in my life. Beautiful little place in the most amazing setting. Highly recommend.

Always great service, food and drinks. Our favourite place locally for breakfast.

Not been in for years but have to say it's a great cup of coffee and could not fault the full English breakfast service was first class and we'll be back sooner rather than later

It's not the biggest coffee shop but that's what I like about it. Being an old stable, it's been transformed very well, and I love how the table in the corner is higher up to make it more involved. Fantastic service, very friendly, and the Burger Mac & Cheese is absolutely amazing. It was like my mouth was dreaming.

I don’t usually leave bad reviews but unfortunately the 2 sandwiches I just bought were so awful and so overpriced. The sourdough bread was hard as a rock and essentially inedible. Both of us managed a bite each. If I wasn’t in the car half way home I would’ve come back and returned. Such a shame as such a lovely location and lovely staff.

Service above and beyond when we visited on Saturday 18th November

Very friendly staff, quick service and a very nice vibe to the cafe. It’s also in a beautiful spot to shop/ walk around a gorgeous estate.

Food... Amazing Atmosphere...brilliant Staff... Very friendly, especially Karen A fantastic day out

The staff were brilliant, courteous and friendly. An ideal venue to visit after a ramble.

Took my 90 year old mum out for a coffee and cake but much to our horror the tea room was overwhelmed with flies . It was hard to relax because of them going on your food .

Visited today as part of a group of 10 cyclists. Café is very nice and comfortable/cosy inside. There was plenty of bike racks and walls to leave our bikes. Great selection of cakes and drinks. Service was excellent, food and drinks brought to us very quickly, just what we like.

Absolutely delicious open chicken sandwich - the best I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere and super friendly people - definitely recommend.

Superb steak toasties, Excellent service from super-friendly staff, especially Karen.

The food tasted as lovely as it looked the portions were not disingenuous and was great value for money the staff were also very friendly I shall definitely return for more

Best breakfast I’ve had out for a long time too quality ingredients cooked well and red hot temperature great service too

We've had a lovely breakfast here today. It's our wedding anniversary so we treated ourselves and we weren't disappointed. This was our first visit and the food was great and the staff were lovely and friendly. The restaurant is very clean and beautifully decorated. We would recommend to everyone and we'll definitely be back again.

Lovely place to sit outside after a walk with the dog and enjoy a coffee and snack.

Fabulous lunch yesterday, excellent service and friendly staff.

Have been here before for lunch which was lovely, and came here for the French evening and was blown away. Amazing food, chilled environment and brilliant service from all staff! Gemma was perfect along with the rest of the staff, and the fact the whole restaurant was full proves how spot on they have service and food! Will be coming again, thank you 😊

Good sized pots of tea, nice cakes, coffee is OK but a little expensive for filter coffee and it's a nice place to sit and have a rest. All let down by terrible service - admittedly by 1 person but it is consistent. Sorry to those of you who work here and are nice - of which are plenty, I'm sure. Knocked a star off for sad sac. Don’t not go because of my experience though :)

Visited today, middle of a very sunny heatwave and only three outside tables with sunbrellas, all taken. Looked to sit inside with one well behaved dog, no dogs inside. OK, it's your cafe and you're entitled to make your rules regarding sun shading and dogs, but there are now plenty of alternatives offering both.

We were very impressed by this little gem. Friendly, efficient service and good value for money. The atmosphere was lively, attractive and clean. The food was delicious, we had the fish finger sandwich and what a delight it was, fish goujons, salad, mushy peas & tartar in a lovely soft seaded bap and a mug of fries on the side. Sorry no picture, it just had to be eaten 😋.

I had the goat’s cheese toastie and it was delicious! Perfectly (generous) portion, very tasty and the service was outstanding. Karen was so kind, friendly, attentive and the quality of the service she delivered greatly contributed to how much I enjoyed my lunch there. Would definitely visit again ☺️

Gemma and the team are a breath of fresh air! Perfect for any occasion, brunch, lunch or even coffee and cake. Great specials, quick service and yummy food. Thank you!

Called in for lunch and weren't disappointed. The food was freshly made and tasted delicious, along with great hot drinks. Lovely freshly made cakes too. All of the Staff were so friendly & helpful. Very popular and always great to see so many people, of all ages. Only 'minor' downside was that it was a bit noisy, which made it difficult to hear sometimes. Will definitely be back.

Since the new owners took over, the service and food have been exemplary. Coped admirably and efficiently with my large group of cyclists yesterday. Thank you!

I like the Stables Coffee Shop situated in the courtyard at Staunton Harold. The staff are very friendly. Comfortable seating, good choice of drinks and snacks. Worth a visit when you're there.

We often have a breakfast here after a dog walk in Bignalls Wood. Always excellent coffee and well presented tasty food. Dogs love their sausages too 😋. Attractive setting in the courtyard with very comfortable outdoor seating. Highly recommended.

I love this place. Fabulous food, wonderful staff & great coffee!!! I would highly recommend.

Karen our greeter was very friendly and welcoming. Our server Beth was also very friendly and polite.

Absolutely lovely food today from the new menu - we had the Mediterranean vegetable focaccia, which was delicious! Great service by the lovely Karen.

Delicious cakes and scones and the staff were friendly and kind.

Waitress was very pleasant and helpful. The foccacia was delicious.

Came here for a birthday lunch and the food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and welcoming

We had guests staying with us and thought the Ferrers would be the ideal place to visit. We came into the Stables for some light lunch. Myself and my husband had the halloumi salad bowls. They were delicious. The service was brilliant and the meals came quickly. We are vegetarian and also can’t eat bread, so alternative lunches would be good ie: wraps, etc

Popped in for a quick lunch, ordered from the special menu and it was definitely special, really recommend the goat cheese and caramelised onions. Also great service by Karen who sold the luxury hot chocolate to my wife! She loved it. Thank you

A lovely little cafe. Excellent customer service from all of the staff, and very cheery atmosphere. Wonderful cakes and coffee, love the choice of dairy free milk options too.

Regular visitor always great coffee, friendly quick service and wonderful courtyard settingĺ

Love this cafe. Excellent customer service from Elizabeth she is always smiling, and very helpful. Wonderful food and coffee, love the oat milk shakes too. Lisa

Gluten free sponge cake was a real treat for me

Karen was a very diligent waitress, friendly, professional and looked after us very well. All the staff we came in contact with were excellent. We love coming here. Could you please put the ploughman’s back on the menu as it was delicious?

Our favourite place for brunch, they do a fantastic breakfast, their cakes are amazing! The daytime menu also has some delicious additions. 😋

Lovely food and service. Despite being very busy our food came quickly. Karen who served us was friendly and attentive.

Fantastic service, really nice setting and food was lovely, was served by Karen and Karen’s service was perfect. ! Thanks again

We got served by a lovely lady Karen who was a delight! Very attentive and approachable. The halloumi salad was to die for….. you got a generous amount of halloumi (which is always a win) with a delicious fresh pomegranate salad and a banging dressing! Would highly recommend.

My go to nearly every Saturday morning for breakfast, beautiful food and Karen and the other ladies give a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere.

Now what you expect from a village cafe. The food was very different in the very best way. A real treat of a menu, quite continental, i had the Spanish eggs and they were divine. Karen our waitress, very helpful and really funny. Congratulations on a different approach. Would I go again...... in a heart beat.

Stopped for brunch after a lovely dog walk. Partner had full English and I had Eggs Benedict - both absolutely delicious. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely! New Mac and cheese is delish waitresses lovely and helpful, can't recommend enough! Thanks to Karen!

Lovely place food good and staff helpful and pleasant especially Karen thankyou! Vegan carrot cake I’d recommend and I’m not vegan!

Karen served us and was cheerful and efficient

Very pleasant lunch. I had the Spanish eggs which was nice & spicy. The lady serving us, Karen, was very friendly

Excellent refreshment and service outside in the courtyard. Strawberry and cream traybake was to die for. Alan Dowsett & Bethan Moore

Amazing food and such a cute location. Staff’s super nice, especially Karen. They also serve gluten free toasties and cakes which is a win for us as a celiac family. Highly recommend

Dottie loved Karen! So lovely and helpful

Karen was very friendly and efficient. Lovely cafe experience and great range of food

Lovely morning brilliant weather walk through the woods and finished at The Stables Coffee Shop at Staunton Harold what could be better. Karen served us with 2 coffee's and 2 Toasted Teacakes sat in the sunshine service excellent.

Lovely little cafe, with a contemporary menu for varied dietary requirements. My ham salad sandwich was simple but lovely, would like to see some more classics on the menu. Simple sandwiches, toastie and jacket potato fillings, along with quiche options (like previously offered). The staff were all friendly and welcoming, we chatted to Karen who made time to speak with us and take interest in our feedback. Would recommend to friends.

Staff were lovely and helpful. Food was delicious. Quite expensive spent nearly £50 on a jacket potato, a flatbread and 2 coffees and a cider...

Lovely cakes and great coffee. Friendly service from Karen.

3 of us had a lovely lunch. We were all used to the old menu but were pleasantly surprised at the interesting choices available.

Beautiful setting. We had the Spanish Eggs and Chicken Caesar Salad which were superb. Service was spot on! We will return

Absolutely fantastic place! Such a beautiful setting and great food! Cakes were delicious - my daughter demolished hers 😂. And wonderful service particularly from Karen, who was extremely friendly and professional.

Lovely location and tasty food. Generous helpings of brie and goats cheese 🧀 and delicious homemade cakes.

Friendly service and lovely food!

Love The Stables. Highly recommend the scone with cream and jam. Yum! Great service too 👍

Wonderful food produced and presented by new chef Gary every time we’ve been. Professional service from all the front of house staff and we wish the lady on the till a very happy wedding day on Saturday,

This has always been one of our favourite places for a walk and lunch, but today I was disappointed, I tried the special, Thai chicken curry... but it was nothing like I was expecting. I am usually quite happy to try new recipes but this meal was strange, along with the chicken were small potatoes, and the curry was very watery and bland, and it was served with a small bowl of salad, which I ate most of, but it did not really go well at all with a curry. On the plus side my wife had a lovely soup, and ham salad sandwich, which was more tha adequate.

Excellent Mushroom Soup and Flat White and Karen was very helpful. Love The Stables ❤️
