About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.***

    A relaxing drink on the lovely sunny, river view terrace before a delicious meal in the conservatory, a perfect spot for a special celebration. The food and service at Stones is second to none - the best for miles around. Here’s to the next special occasion.

    As always, a great experience .It was my friends first time and they loved it. The only tiny criticism I would say is because I book every few months ,the menue can be slightly the same as my last visit but I understand the hard work in getting the food right and why it is changed seasonally. Everything is always served to a high standard. I have already booked my next 3 visits :) Thank you!

    The attention and service at Stone's is often highlighted as good/excellent. We did not find it so. I regard table service as an important part of a meal experience and it was disappointing to find it wanting. The meal itself was interesting and well presented. Overall, despite it being well recommended by friends who have eaten there recently, I dont think we will be rushing back.

    A fabulous experience. They were able to cater for our foodie needs (pescatarian, allium, shellfish, goat and sheep intolerances,! And then staff were very attentive without being invasive. Loved being in the conservatory as well. Had the tasting menu, with Amy hung wines, and it was utterly delicious.
