Nestled in the picturesque village of High Melton, just outside Doncaster, The Stable Door is a beautifully renovated restaurant set within the luxury courtyard of The Stables.
With its blend of rustic charm and botanical elegance, it offers a warm, welcoming escape in South Yorkshire’s countryside - perfect for everything from relaxed lunches to celebratory dinners. Led by the same team behind No.16 Coffee House & Bar, the front-of-house staff are known for their warm hospitality and attention to detail. The atmosphere is relaxed yet refined, with smart-casual dress encouraged and booking highly recommended.
The menu at The Stable Door is a creative take on elevated pub classics, crafted by a talented team of chefs who know how to surprise and delight. Expect bold flavours, seasonal ingredients, and inventive twists on familiar favourites. Highlights include the duo of pork with apple remoulade, sea bass with pea and parmesan risotto, and the indulgent sticky toffee cheesecake. Sundays are a local institution here, thanks to their legendary seated Sunday lunch featuring roast sirloin of beef, butter-basted chicken, and ‘the feast’ - a generous plate with all the trimmings for those with hearty appetites.
Afternoon tea is also a standout, served Wednesday to Saturday, with beautifully crafted sandwiches, scones, and mini cakes, plus unlimited teas and coffees. Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available, and the drinks list includes curated wines, cocktails, and prosecco upgrades for a touch of sparkle.
