The Stables - Harborough

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
