Stables Kitchen - Stockport

We held the reception for my wife's funeral at this restaurant, and it was absolutely perfect. Kimberley and her team organized a beautiful buffet and were incredibly attentive to all of the guests. Everyone commented on what a perfect location it was, set in lovely surroundings. I am very thankful for such a wonderful conclusion to what was a very emotional day.

A baffling concept for eating in or out doors! So we can only order inside and eat inside or order outside and eat out side. No crossing the retractable door line to eat outside if orders inside. Same kitchen cooking the food, same waiters, the mind boggles? Just to add the food is nice!

One of our party wanted a bacon bap it was on the menu but was told that was the breakfast menu and wasn't being sold any more. We asked if they sold it outside the other side of the window we were sat at and were told yes. Surely it must be cooked in the same kitchen so what the are the management thinking??? We ordered from the lunch menu and what arrived was fresh, tasty and promptly served although the portions were meagre . The serving staff were attentive and pleasant and then I got the bill so my wallet is now in therapy. It's at a popular destination so there is a lot of through traffic which guarantees visitors but it looks like the management have developed an arrogant attitude to what a cafe should offer. Won't go back. Neither I suspect will a lot of others writing on this site.

Arrived at 4.40 pm on a sunny Saturday in June with two young children wanting dinner. We were told they were no longer serving food and closing. Despite all signage saying open till 5.30. When we then tried to access the toilet (in a rush with a four year old! we were told we couldn’t access to toilet through the cafe and had to walk all the way around. Not at all accommodating for a bursting toddler! The lady is the cafe was rude and dismissive. Will not be returning. Unreliable.

We were disappointed to miss out on a sale of £10 at your restaurant. It was 11:20am on a Saturday morning during a Bank Holiday weekend and we had come for a bacon roll and coffee after a long walk in the Park. However, we were informed that no bacon rolls were available after 11:00am. We felt this was too early to stop serving breakfast options on a weekend. We ended up ordering something else, but we were hoping for bacon rolls. We understand that toasties were available, but we feel that bacon rolls should be easy to make alongside other snacks. Despite this, we did enjoy our Cappuccino coffee, which is why you received a rating of 3 out of 5. We also noticed there were plenty of staff around, but we would appreciate it if they could be more friendly and smile.
