Tucked away in the heart of former spa town Matlock, Stones is a cosy restaurant serving modern British cuisine. The restaurant’s interior is smart and intimate while the kitchen marries British produce with recipes inspired by international cuisine. Don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the seasonal lunch and dinner menus, every dish demonstrates the culinary imagination, technique and flair of the vibrant kitchen team, led by head chef Kevin Stone. The additional tasting menu offers eight courses partnered with a carefully selected optional flight of wine. Catering for all dietary requirements, Stones offer distinct vegetarian and GF menu. Diners can enjoy views overlooking the coursing waters of the River Derwent. Discreet, informed service with an informal approach, allowing the food to take centre stage, Stones is one of the finest dining experiences in the area, carrying two AA rosettes for culinary excellence. ***Visit www.stones-restaurant.co.uk for up to date menus.***

    Lovely food and service as always. Highlights were the amuse bouche of pumpkin & mushroom soup, the cauliflower cheese veggie main and my husband said the pork wrapped pancetta was absolutely excellent. We'll be back for the tasting menu very soon!

    We celebrated my son’s 30th at Stones. My starter and main were 3/5. I really think Stones have gone down in quality. 30th birthday freebie was a bit ridiculous- two crouton size pieces of cake with Happy Birthday written in chocolate on the plate. Is that all a £400 bill justified? How about a free cocktail or a coffee for the birthday boy? Oh well, it was a great night out, service was lovely so all good but nothing to write home about.

    Enjoyed all of the courses of the taster menu along with the wine flight which were a fantastic match for each course. The only slight winge would be that we all thought was that between each course the food came out a little faster than would have liked
