After exploring Osterley’s Georgian House and taking a stroll in our scenic Gardens, why not stop by the Tudor courtyard to experience more of Osterley. Our delicious Stables café, well-stocked shop and cosy second-hand bookshop, all have plenty for you to taste and see. Get the full Osterley experience by coming along to socialise, grab a coffee or curl up behind a book and even spoil your loved ones with gifts you can’t find elsewhere.

Stables Café

Located in the centre of the courtyard, the Stables Café invites all visitors to warm up inside or enjoy the outdoors with a freshly baked treat in hand. With a variety of hot drinks, sweet and savoury snacks to choose from, there is something to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds.

Our seasonal menu has a host of treats on offer for the adventurous tasters and festive food lovers. Each month there is a new scone of the month to try. All year-round favourites like Victoria sponge cake, soup and jacket potatoes come highly recommended for new and regular visitors.

Seats can be found inside the Stables Café, outside in the courtyard and in the secluded walled terrace to the back.

Brewhouse Ice cream parlour

Tucked in a bright corner of the Tudor stables, the historic brewhouse, houses a selection of Jude’s finest ice cream to be enjoyed in the warmer months.

Visitors craving a cooler dessert can have a scoop or two of delicious Ice cream in a tub or a cone. Flavours such as Salted Caramel, Mint Chocolate, Madagascan Vanilla and even more also come in plant-based options.

The Brewhouse Ice cream parlour may become the perfect treat after a park run or walk in Osterley’s gardens.
