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 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.

    Pity about the steep steps. I fear there may come a time when we cannot make it! Otherwise as delightful as ever.

    This is our favourite local restaurant. It never disappoints. We had the tasting menu and every course was delicious and the service was efficient and friendly. Highlights this time we're the squash cannelloni and the chicken croquettes, the Lincolnshire Poacher and Marmite butter needs a mention too as we both enjoyed that. I'm not sure how they allocate the seating but I would like to be seated in the "conservatory" part of the restaurant occasionally rather than in the bar/kitchen area but I'm sure if we'd asked (we didn't) they would have accommodated us as it's that kind of place. Well be back soon.

    Another great meal at Stones. Food, service and ambience lovely. We found the music unnecessary and rather loud. We didn’t remember this from our previous visits. We are lucky to have such a high class restaurant in Matlock.

    This was a lovely lunch to celebrate two birthdays. The food was exceptional - every dish was a triumph. Service is great - attentive but not intrusive. We love Stones and will be back again as soon as we can. Thank you.
