Hestercombe Gardens Cafe

We went for Sunday lunch… we have always known the portion sizes to be mean, however the food in the past has been lovely. I ordered a fish dish .. £14.95.. 6 tiny half’s of new potato, 4 /5 cherry toms, Supposed to be on a bed of green beans … eight pieces.. beans chopped in half.. so 4 green beans chopped down the middle.. says in sauce .. but should say in broth… watery but tasty. Disappointing… On being asked if all was ok … I said this was a bit mean… Our comments (we did not complain) Where delt with charm and professionalism… On the whole a bit of a pixx take for 15 quid. Very happy how things were delt with… sweets taken off the price … we did not ask for this … Wish I had taken a photo … Really nice place but will not be returning for Sunday lunch ..

Went here with family members for afternoon tea arriving 1pm. It was delightful. Prompt service with choice of plain, fruit or cheese scone, lots of sandwiches and cream filled pastries. We had tea and coffee and prosecco was extra. Beautifully presented and the staff didn't hurry us at all. They gave us take out boxes for the cakes we couldn't eat.

fabulous, imaginative menu and first class service. we enjoyed our first visit to the stables. we had rather unusual dishes, as the menu was read well and we wanted to see if eating corresponds to our high expectations. that did it. will soon try again the delicious lunch menu! thank you, Stables staff.

We enjoyed a fantastic lunch as part of an experience day here. We received a lovely welcome at the restaurant door. In fact, all of the service was excellent and friendly. The food was extremely tasty and beautifully presented. The pudding especially so. Highly recommend.

Scones, tea and coffee were good and plentiful, but overall quite expensive. Nice ambience with a small fountain and friendly staff.
