Located in the centre of Gee Cross village near Hyde, Stables is a family run restaurant specialising in modern British cuisine. Chef patron Tim Mason’s cooking has been attracting foodies from the area since opening the restaurant in 2007 and a recent refurbishment has kept the restaurant feeling fresh, comfortable and atmospheric and it has become renowned locally for the quality of the food and service. Tim is passionate about quality, local produce and has developed relationships with suppliers to ensure he gets the best quality available for use in his dishes, all of which are stylishly presented on contemporary crockery. Everything is made fresh from scratch in the kitchen including all stocks, sauces, terrines and desserts. Open for relaxed lunches from seasonal menus including light bites of freshly prepared gourmet sandwiches, Panini, soups to more substantial 1, 2 or 3 course set menus and even a special set Senior Citizens lunch menu. Sunday sees a choice of roasts with real gravy, homemade Yorkshires and indulgent desserts. In the evenings, the 30-cover restaurant moves up a gear to provide an intimate relaxed atmosphere and an accomplished A la Carte menu supplemented with daily changing specials.
