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.***

    Excellent 3 course winter lunch, with additional tasty canapes, soup, and lovely fresh bread included in the price. Scottish waitress as helpful as ever, friendly and always smiling. Nothing to much trouble. Will return again - looking forward to another visit in the near future.

    Loved it. Couple of negatives 2 soups and 2 croquettes on a 8 course taster which I thought should be a bit more varied. Bread was average. Service was great, everything was full of flavour., drinks very reasonably priced, food slightly overpriced. Atmosphere great. Would definitely go back.

    Had the tasting menu which was pretty much perfect. Every course was very tasty and the flavours complemented each other. This was better than some 1 star restaurants we’ve been to. A great find for us & we will definitely go back.
