Found the Stables on an article on best places for afternoon tea on EADT website.
I rang & booked for 2 adults & 2 children. Rang this morning to make it 3 adults...no problems at all :) even when I said 1 vegetarian, 1 diabetic, & 1 just plain awkward (....me :o) Unfortunately it was raining when we arrived but the kids still enjoyed feeding the ducks when the came to knock on the door (with their beaks...lol) for their dinner!! ;) we had the most amazing afternoon tea, with rolls & sandwiches, scones, butter, jam & cream fruit cakes & homemade Easter cupcakes.....copious tea & hot chocolates (+ trimmings) for the kids!!
See photos!!
We were made most welcome & nothing was too much trouble.
We will be returning very soon & hopefully be able to sit outside by the pond!
Thank you, thank you.
Visited today for afternoon tea and wow ! Sandwiches and cakes were truly amazing, staff very helpful and friendly, definitely recommend, and we ourselves will certainly be going back.
Finally managed to get to this lovely coffee shop after driving past it on numerous occasions on my way to a campsite in nearby Waldringfield. I walked there today with my dog and we both received a warm welcome, he was even allowed inside the cafe but I chose to sit outside as it was sunny and he was muddy!
Lovely jacket potato with chilli and good coffee, not expensive at all - I hope to return again soon!
Lovely place very helpful and friendly staff.would recommend a visit.
Wow, I've been meaning to go to this coffee shop for so long, we decided to go this weekend and it was great. Lovely staff, lovely food, nom, nom, nom! And what a lovely setting, we stayed for a while starting inside then deciding to sit out side. Both were wonderful experiences, outside was just beautiful looking over the duck pond, then over to the lovely Suffolk countryside. We will definitely be returning and with the ideas I heard about today for the end of October � I can not wait.
I went with my daughter grandaughter and her friend and toddler yesterday. Very welcoming and the food was lovely and good value for money. A healthy plate of food for the little one complete with special plate and spoon and fork. Well done we will see you soon
We reserved a table for breakfast as a surprise for my Mum's 60th Birthday, Eve the owner and her staff went out of their way to make it a really special experience for us. What a pretty place with lovely staff, yummy food and gorgeous gifts in the shop!
Went today for the first time and was a very warm welcome by new owner. Drinks and food are good prices and coffees taste better then the hight street chain coffee shops. Love the cheese scone. Definitely visiting again to have cake next time . Lovely setting, lovely staff ���
Had a lovely afternoon tea this afternoon with my mum amazing value, and enjoyed all of it. Lovely friendly staff would highly recommend.
I really enjoyed my coffee and cheese scone with butter and chilly jam it was delicious. It was made more enjoyable sitting outside watching the ducks mess about on the pond. They were a joy to watch and entertaining on a warm sunny autumn morning.
I highly recommend this place for its food and atmosphere 5* from me.
We booked The Stables for an afternoon tea to celebrate my parent's Diamond wedding anniversary. It was perfect, lovely food, friendly atmosphere and very reasonably priced. Lovely location too, my daughter loved feeding the ducks in the pond outside. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
Lovely little cafe with nice choice of food and baked goods.
Tea comes in a tea pot and is exceptional as its loose leaf tea. A real treat when out.
Nice range of baked goods if you want a sweet treat.
Hosts some local craft products too.
The cafe looks out onto the duck pond too.
Absolutely beautiful afternoon tea with my mum and her bestie today! Sandwiches were fresh and tasty, scones were out of this world! A great selection of tea/coffee and choice of delicious cake too... Will be returning again and again!
Small but nice. Friendly staff, delicious cakes. Little parking, few tables outside. Perfect for a cup of coffee passing through.
Lovely little Café with very tasty homemade cakes and scones! Beautiful outside area with small pond and ducks! A lovely selection also of handmade gifts and cards.
We had such a lovely brekky here, the staff are friendly and helpful and made sure I got something gluten and dairy free that was really yummy too, and my chai oat latte was delicious. Would love to come back here, might bring the dog next time too! Also get the duck food, the ducks at the pond eat right out of your hand, 12/10 x
Went to our daughter-in-laws baby shower, the tables were set out interconnecting so no-one felt left out. We had afternoon tea which was lovely. There was an abundance of different finger sandwiches although none were just ham which would've been our granddaughters choice. I should've requested some when I put in our order weeks ago, my fault! We each had our own pot of fresh leaf tea, no teabags here! There was a cake stand for each group of three. The coffee shop was easily accessible, clean and very pleasant.
A real gem of a place in a lovely location. Staff friendly and welcoming and food excellent. Will return.
Lovely surroundings , great food , delightful people who run it. This was our first visit and I look forward to going back soon. Thank you Caz and your team.
Lovely accidental find for us for coffee and cake. Superb cream tea, lovely brownie, very welcoming staff. Our dog was made very welcome too. We will be back for lunch!

I loved this café; a beautiful setting and good choice for lunch. Lovely home made cakes etc. It's a delight to sit outside near the duckpond on a beautiful summer's day and while away a few hours .
However I do struggle with mobility and every time I venture out it's with trepidation, hoping that I won't have to walk far and that I'll easily find a comfortable spot to sit. Last time I came here if was quite full with only two tables free - one large table and one small pushed against the wall. I didn't feel able to navigate to the small table do my don and I sat at the larger table. After sitting for a few minutes we were asked to move across the café to the smaller table 'in case' a larger group came in. It was a struggle but I did it. We had to move the table a little to get my crutches in. We ordered and were then asked to move AGAIN to allow better access to the crafts. This meant I now had my back to the drinks fridge and was continually having to shuffle around. Being asked to move once when every movement is painful is not nice but TWICE?
I do like the cafe but will be more circumspect in future and only go in if I can see an outside table free before getting out of the car. Please be more considerate of people's personal situation before asking them to move around the premises.
Lovely food at this little coffee shop at the edge of town. I really enjoyed the quiche on the specials board - absolutely delicious. The tea was properly made, and the coleslaw was yummy. I really enjoyed the lady running the place, who was a fierce and scary. The food came out quickly and more people coming in were sternly warned not to sit in the corner. Good food and stern women certainly work for me.
Lovely little cafe overlooking the fields, nice enough breakfast and friendly service.
Absolutely wonderful cafe, staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious- excellent sandwiches and cakes. Definitely recommend and will be coming back. They were so kind to our dog, gave him a biscuit and some water.
Tasty toasties
Home made coldslaw
With a decent cuppa tea!
We couldn't resist the homemade cakes
We took them home for later.
The stables has a homely feel
And a great space outside
to sit and relax.
Will we return?
You bet!
Lovely little cafe, the scotch eggs and cake are amazing.
Lovely food and surroundings. Very friendly staff. They would get five stars if they can sort out better disabled toilet facilities.
Love this place. Food is god quality and staff are friendly x
