Always love a walk along the canal, especially on a bright sunny afternoon, and to pop into The Stables for a hot coffee or tea accompanied by a piece of cake. The banana 🍌 crumble cake is especially good. Always very clean and the staff are very pleasant. It's also very popular and busy, so pick your times carefully. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you visit. We've always enjoyed our visits. It's also dog friendly with bowls and the almost obligatory dog friendly ice cream. Our pooch certainly enjoyed hers and at £2.10 (Feb 2022) it's not going to break the bank either. Returned at the beginning of December 2022 on a chilly and wet afternoon, with our pooch. It was nice & warm when we walked in. The tables on the ground floor were taken so we made our way upstairs with our pooch energetically leading the way. My wife ordered our drinks, some fries and a sandwich then joined us at the comfy seating by the patios and the outside decking. Our food arrived promptly, only to be told dogs weren't allowed inside. This was really disappointing, our dog had clearly been seen when we arrived, so to be told when our food arrived that dogs were allowed outside only was very disappointing. It was cold and rain intermittent, so reluctantly we sat outside. Dogs are welcome outside apparently but not inside which is really disappointing. Having travelled around Spain, France and Italy for nearly 3 months earlier this year with our pooch, not one restaurant, bar or pizzeria saying that she wasn't welcome, inside or out, it was really disappointing & quite surprising.

Great food reasonable prices lovely friendly people great service
