About

Stables Restaurant and Bar is nestled behind Beamish Hall in a beautifully restored 18th-century stable block. The building retains its charming historic features, including original stone floors, exposed beams, and antique furniture, all complemented by our renowned northern hospitality.

 

Whether you're enjoying a delightful afternoon tea, a delicious Sunday roast, or hosting a celebration, The Stables offers a relaxed yet vibrant atmosphere that promises an unforgettable experience. In winter, cozy up by crackling log fires, while summer invites you to lounge in our fabulous courtyard for al fresco dining.

 

The Stables has built its reputation on serving only the finest quality food, using carefully selected local produce. Our exquisite dishes are meticulously crafted, featuring delicious pairings and exciting fusions of flavours.
