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 meal, food was excellent. Felt slightly rushed and had to ask if we could slow down the pace a bit which they did. Most staff extremely friendly, quite expensive but a very nice experience. Will definitely go again.

    We have been here many times but this was next level. One of our group had a dairy intolerance and they catered for him by adapting the tasting menu to suit. The changes were explained and where alterations could not be made he was served dishes from the vegan menu. Staff were attentive as usual and the ambiance relaxing without any pressure.

    Stones is special. It is a restaurant in its own league. The food is outstanding. You don't just get what is listed on the menu there are canapés, amuse bouche, home made bread and petty fours. The complete package. The staff are great. Friendly but very professional. The atmosphere is a good balance. It is fine dining, somewhere special to go but not "stuck up".

    We really enjoyed our experience at this venue . We had not eaten here for some years , and for our wedding anniversary decided to have the sample menu with one wine flight ( I was driving ) . Every course was exceptional both in taste and presentation , and whilst the portion sizes weren't large , they were perfect for us . The service was attentive and friendly , and each course was explained . Really cannot fault the food , and we will definitely recommend this to others , and will be returning ourselves. The only slight niggle was that as we were sitting in the conservatory it was slightly cold , and the radiator was not on . To be fair it didn't affect our enjoyment and we didn't mention it to the staff , who may have been able to do something.
