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.***

    The new menu was a good use of local and seasonal foods. The lamb mains was excellent and desserts were outstanding.

    Really nice tasting menu with pairing wines. Desserts are definitely a highlight! Came on a Thursday so it was quite quiet but the service was fantastic, servers were attentive and the kitchen made adjustments to a course as requested. Expensive but worth it for a special occasion (we came for a 30th birthday).

    A meal for a special occasion and overall enjoyable. The caopes and petit fours were excellent. The amuse bouche not as expected from the description and oily. Starters, scallops and chicken beautifully cooked. Mains, hake, delicious and Duck, very rich, both would have benefited from more vegetables for balance. Overall, good but very expensive.
