I love visiting this restaurant. Those working there are always so friendly and the vegetarian menu is great! It is a great place for meeting friends, an afternoon tea... or for me as a break in a hectic day! I love ordering a meal and sitting reading for a bit in my break for work. The fact that the restaurant is surrounded by antique shops...is the cherry on the cake!

Excellent food - quite limited menu, but to my mind that's a positive. Service is focused on the customer and nothing seems to be any trouble. The place itself is very pleasant to be in.

Went here on Easter Monday. A nice menu selection. Hearty toasties, and lovely Fluffy jacket potatoes. Went off menu with my Brie and avocado pick that should have been a sandwich filling, this wasnt a problem. Good sized portions on nicely animal themed plates. Teas in classic floral cup and saucers.

Great choice of vegetarian /vegan and gluten free food. Lots of cakes and vegan too! Inside and outdoor seating, dog friendly. Some pigmy goats, chickens and guineapigs. We had the veggie pesto wrap with side of chips. We would def return and try more and have some cake. Also interesting antique shops.

Four of us called in for breakfast at the Fox in Stables yesterday and were very impressed. We all chose something different from the varied menu and all had a good sized meal made from fresh ingredients. The casual setting is ideal for our lazy Sunday morning and we were pleased to find everything to be spotlessly clean. The staff were absolutely delightful and I'm sure it won't be long before we return.
