The Old Stables

Nestled within the scenic ambiance of Towneley Park in Burnley, The Old Stables is not just a café; it’s a delightful escape for food lovers, nature enthusiasts, and families alike. With its charming atmosphere and a menu that boasts both hearty meals and comforting treats, The Old Stables invites you to enjoy a relaxing dining experience amidst the beauty of the park.

The café presents a variety of options sure to please every palate, but their homemade pies have earned a special place in the hearts of patrons. Imagine the flaky crust revealing tender, flavorful fillings – each bite is a testament to the care that goes into crafting them. Customers rave about the food, as reflected in Sarah Wilton's review, who enjoyed the homemade pies whilst basking in the sun after a delightful walk through the park.

However, it's not just about the pies; they also serve an array of delicious options that cater to diverse tastes, including scrumptious cakes and refreshing beverages. The chocolate fudge milkshake—hailed as one of the best ever—has captured the hearts of visitors like Lauren, who was pleasantly surprised by the café’s turnaround and her delightful meal. For those with a sweet tooth, the treat selection is an essential stop—though it’s worth noting the occasional hiccup, as pointed out by Paul Butcher, who found the Victoria cake somewhat off.

What makes The Old Stables truly special isn't just the food; it's the experience. With the enchanting view of the pond and Towneley Hall, as highlighted by Steve Falls, you can treat yourself to a meal while soaking in the stunning scenery. Families can find cozy seating with comfortable sofas, making it an ideal spot for lunch breaks when the kids are at school or for leisurely afternoons spent among friends.

Moreover, regardless of the crowd, the staff manages to keep a smile on their faces, even during peak hours, demonstrating their commitment to excellent service. Mike Bailey's experience with hosting a meal for 70 guests echoes this sentiment, reflecting the café’s capacity to cater to large gatherings with care and precision.
