Stables Kitchen in Edinburgh

OMG the food here is something else. Scones are so tasty. Always freshly made daily. Queche I had was incredible. Soup was fantastic. Would highly recommend. Ask if Alison is cooking when your in as her scones are the best ever

Went for meal today was wasnt great the cakes were great expensive for teeny portions would only go back for a cake and a drink

The service here is diabolical if they're busy. We went on an events day at Hopetoun and decided to go to the tea rooms first. However, for 4 people who ordered soup and a main course it took 2 1/2 hours for our visit by which point the event was actually closing!The staff have no idea of order of service, they sit you down then eventually come take your order (which they got wrong and had to re-check) then they serve people who arrived after you and ordered the same thing before you. We had to keep flagging staff down to find out when food and drinks were to be served. We also had the tea and cakes and I have to say the cakes were just factory processed sugar treats, not homemade and definitely no flavour. Given what you got the prices are very high.This place trades on the reputation of the house itself and not on it's own quality. We plan to visit Hopetoun in the future for events but won't be using this tea room again.

Simple menu, good quality food served in the palatial old stables. Most enjoyable & a fitting finish to a visit to Hopetoun
