The Stables Kitchen

The Stables Kitchen is now closed to the public for 2024. We look forward to seeing you in 2025.

One of the delights of Hopetoun is a visit to the Stables Kitchen, a clever and sensitive restoration of the 18th Century Adam Stables transformed into a comfortable and cosy eatery, complete with a delicious contemporary menu. Only a few miles from Edinburgh, you can escape to another world and soak up the relaxed atmosphere within a spectacular setting.

The Stables Kitchen is now dog friendly. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome to join you in the Stables and can even enjoy a tasty treat from their own Posh Pooch Menu.

Home Cooked and Freshly Prepared Menu

The ingredients we use in our cooking are important to us. Food provenance in the form of local, Scottish, good welfare and ethically traded ingredients is a key element to ensure we are providing fabulous food quality with minimal environmental impact and are supporting the local economy.

We love celebrating what Scotland has to offer, and our chefs prepare our menu using seasonally Scottish ingredients wherever possible. The eggs in our baking are Scottish free range and we’re proud to use Graham’s Family Diary milk, butter and cream throughout our menus.

Traditional Afternoon Teas

We are no longer taking bookings for Afternoon Tea in 2024. Our booking system will reopen in March 2025 for the 2025 visitor season.

For a special celebration, treat someone to a unique experience in style, and book a bespoke Afternoon Tea at the Stables Kitchen.

Our Afternoon Tea is a gourmet delight offering filled sandwiches, homemade fruit scones with lashings of cream and strawberry jam, along with a fabulous assortment of freshly made savoury and sweet treats.
