Our story

Chorley's best-kept secret

"You would never know you were in Chorley town centre."

Tucked away behind an ivy-clad wall, The Old Stables is an award-winning vintage tearoom that transports you to another era. Vintage china, 1940s music playing softly, staff in period costume, and cake stands on every table.

We serve award-winning afternoon teas, homemade soups and the finest scones in Lancashire — plus a brand new 1950s-inspired weekend brunch. And for those who can't come to us, we bring the whole experience to you.
