We popped into the cafe with some friends and our children for coffee and cake before we headed home. We gave our children some small snacks whilst the adults ordered.We were quickly told by a staff member that we were not allowed a picnic and we must eat food from the cafe only. We informed him that we were ordering coffee and cake as well, but he still insisted. They were only snacks, not sandwiches so this seemed a very unwelcoming rule from the cafe. We bought 2 coffees and a flapjack which came to £10, coffee was cold and flapjack didn?t taste nice. The options for children was limited, so if you insist on this rule have some options.We unfortunately won?t be coming back.

Incredibly slow service

Oh. Dear. Best bit was food was tasty but was it worth a long queue caused by one paced service. No get up and go behind the counter just plodders. Then a bun fight for a chair after of course you have paid far far too much but won't complain for fear of being branded miserable. Just not worth it. Bring a pack up.

The cafe wasn't great to be honest when I went. It was very busy on arrival and the queue took ages to go down; I must have been queuing for at least half an hour before I was served.I ordered a burger and tea and the burger is just a microwaved patty in a room temp bread bun with some nice tomato relish.

Small menu but with something for everyone. We had BBQ Bacon Cheeseburgers that were absolutely delicious - burgers sourced from Homefarm at Temple Newsam. Kids had tomato pasta and a half jacket both were served on a novelty penguin plate. Staff were friendly and helpful providing allergen information and preparing a gluten free meal for my daughter.

Very basic, reheated food. Lack of staff knowledge. Coffee vending machines instead of barista machines. Very weak. Staff putting the side salads on with their hands from a cooling tray. Burnt reheated foodKid-friendliness: YesParking: You have to pay £9 to enter the grounds

Queued for about 15 mins to order, over £5 for a burger with no option of chips or any sides and £2 for a can of coke!! and was honestly the worst burger I have ever eaten. Tasted like the cow died 20 years ago and was ran over several times. I was starving and still didn?t eat it, had better burgers from car boot burger vans. Would visit Lotherton hall again but won?t be going near the cafe

Personally found it very expensive. Who thinks £3.40 for a slice of millionnaires shortbread is reasonable?! It's not even that big. Table and tray were not particularly clean. Staff seemed stressed, but we will forgive that....its half term. Coffee.....below average. Meh.

We often go to Lotherton Hall and use this cafe on most visits, we have found that since lock down the cafe has really improved, the staff are always very helpful and friendly, the food is good down to earth food and the prices are very good. Service with a smile always. We enjoy our visits to the cafe.

Called in here on Sunday morning at half 10 ( opens at 10 ) tried to order 3 sausage sandwiches only to be told that they were out of sausage and only had bacon? so I had a bacon butty and a coffee. The butty was awful .. dry breadcake filled with the worst fatty bacon I have ever seen. The coffee was served in a paper cup and was only half full. Very poor and ridiculous pricing.

We have been visiting The Stables since the start of the pandemic. We find the staff wonderful, warm, friendly and caring. The paninis are delicious, especially when made by Angus ! One criticism is the cakes are top price!

My husband and I met a friend of mine who I hadn't seen for many years at Lotherton and went for a coffee and a snack in the café. The staff were very pleasant but, sadly the coffee was really poor and the sausage rolls were some of the worst we've had anywhere. We returned later for tea and scones and I can only think they must have come from the same bakery as the sausage rolls as they were so dry even with cream and jam. If they need anything to repair the building they could use the scones! My friend was very upset and apologetic as she had treated us to tea. Come on now! Surely you could source better baked goods than this?

Went to but some drinks to take away.,very rude lady got my order wrong then loudly commented that it was my fault. Coffees were only half a cup, terrible value for money. Won?t be going again.
