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.***

    We go to stones a lot, especially for our annual Xmas get together. We had a wonderful time the staff were fantastic. My only criticism would be that we felt the food fell a little short this time. The bread was just a slice rather than a full roll, and the fillet plate was a little bland. But overall we had a fabulous night and I really enjoyed the food and drinks. The pumpkin corse course was amazing!

    Great special lunch with friends. We choose Stones for celebratory get together due to friendly helpful welcome from wonderful staff and consistently high culinary standards. Today did not disappoint. Fine food with interesting extra touches. The squash soup with truffle oil and wild mushrooms was amazing. It can get a bit noisy if fellow diners are excitable, but we managed! Thankyou to all.

    Have dined here on several previous occasions and enjoyed the experience but last nights visit was exceptional. The menus were varied and the food chosen was excellent. A lovely setting and staff were knowledgeable and attentive without being intrusive. The little extras between courses are also a lovely feature of dining at Stones. Will be back soon!

    Had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the food, the wine and the atmosphere. For a Wednesday night the restaurant was buzzing as it should be! We had the 8 course tasting menu and every dish we had was delicious. Will be returning thank you so much!
