About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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.***

    Wonderful food, staff and setting for our Anniversary lunch. We had a lovely table in the conservatory with a view out towards Matlock bridge. The waitress was attentive, friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious and there was a lovely ambience in the restaurant. We will be back

    Had a wonderful meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary - as always with Stones, the service was fantastic - we were made to feel really welcome. The food was spectacular - and it was lovely to have a little anniversary celebration from the team at the end of our meal. Thanks for another fabulous meal - we will be back soon!

    Great food, attentive but unobtrusive service. The combinations of flavours are amazing without getting too complicated or fussy. It’s not the cheapest place to eat but it’s well worth it and is great value.

    Another fabulous meal at Stones. This is our first port of call for special occasions and never disappoints. The food, service and atmosphere was excellent as usual, making for a relaxed and truly enjoyable eating experience.

    Second visit to stones and it was just as good as the first. Friendly knowledgeable staff. The coconut flavoured broth with the fish main was so good, would have had a bowl on its own. Will definitely return. Highly recommend this little gem in Matlock.
