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.***

Just as good as ever. We were a little worried after the recent spate of reviews criticising portion sizes. I don't know where those people normally eat, but I'd guess that they always stop on the way home for chips. Portion sizes are normal for a restaurant of this type. I wouldn't have minded an option to add some more veg, but that's a separate matter...

The quality of the main meal was excellent and the gluten free also. Suggest to have an option to adapt starter and main for KETO option
