   Our second visit to Stones. As before the welcome was warm and the restaurant was very well presented. Team members were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The food was excellent. We will certainly return again.

   We simply love coming to Stones. The food is adventurous, delicious and magnificently prepared and presented, and the staff outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they happily explain whenever it’s needed and they are never fazed by the fact that I have my pudding course as a starter! Visiting Stones is like going back home/visiting your best friend when life is perfect; they are so welcoming, and they remember you. The surroundings are lovely but they fade into a memory quickly because everything and everyone is perfect. Thank you 🙏

   Food once again outstanding ! Staff wise 2 male members of staff need to leave tbh. Not good enough, put cutlery out wrong, forgot water for table, didn’t explain any food they placed in front of us I.e butter etc. should be in a pub not a place where standard is important when you are paying a high price.

    Booked Lunch online for my wife's Birthday as we have been to Stones several times for lunch in the past and always excellent, Reception on arrival was very warm and friendly and shown to our table immediately. The food very well presented with fabulous flavour with a wide range of choice for a lunch with many unexpected extras. The staff as always excelled and made the day special.

    Stones remains our go-to restaurant for both lunch and dinner. As always the food was excellent, even though the lunch menu is a little more restricted post-Covid. The staff were attentive without being overwhelming, full marks.

    On entering on a cold wet evening the temperature was warm and inviting. Staff were pleasant , helpful and well informed. The canapés brought to the table early were delicious. We would have enjoyed a larger bowl of soup but the bread and caramelised onion butter was very tasty. The parsnip tart was tasty too. Overall a very pleasant meal.

    Lovely meal - what a treat to be at Stones again. We were a party of six and had a variety of dishes from the lunch and dinner menus. Everything was a great choice, and the extras were wonderful. Wines and drinks were also of very good quality. The depth of flavour is remarkable and we all left very happy and having had a great tasty meal.

    Always great food and usually great service but service was slow and appreciate new young inexperienced staff have to learn but table setting of cutlery was incorrect, knocked glass over and spilt drink, requested a rum coffee liquor drink but didn't appear, requested bill but got a different tables bill then had to request ours again. Was disappointed this was on a Saturday evening dinner service but would have been very disappointed if paid for tasting menu and received poor attention to detail.

    The staff as normal were fabulous, however our main courses were very disappointing, I had the grouse and it was severely undercooked, the waitress had said that it comes pink which I have no problem with, in fact I don’t mind my meat pink, however the breast was seared on one side then from there all the way through it was just raw, they hadn’t even seared both sides, it looked like a piece of raw liver is the only way to describe it. My hubby gave me a piece of his lamb and I gave him my grouse breast, but it was even too raw for him and he wouldn’t eat it. His lamb was no better again the waitress informed us that it comes pink, again no problem but again it was undercooked, the steak knife struggled to cut it and it was a poor cut of meat. The waitress offered to have it recooked but by that time I’d eaten most of the meal (except the meat) and I wasn’t prepared to wait for 3 small pieces of meat to be brought back to us. The mushroom part was also awful, there were no mushroom caps, just the woody underneath of it and it tasted nasty is I also left that so all I had was the potatoes and broccoli. We had been only visited weeks before and I’d had the grouse and it was amazing, I honestly can’t think what went wrong. We also had to wait over 20 minutes for our desserts (both of which were cold) for saying it was 3 courses we were there over 2 hours. I know we won’t be visiting again for a while.

    Most of the food was beautiful. However the duck was really tough so I was unable to eat this and the akin on the duck was very soft. When we mentioned this to the server Her response was thank you. My husbands cracker was undercooked but they replaced this starlight away. We told them it was our anniversary and put it on the booking form. When leaving we asked for our coats to be told they are hung up and to jusy grab them so we had to move other people's coats to retrieve ours. I must say the last time we went it was a lot better

    As usual fabulous food, the mushroom and egg yolk tartlet as an amuse bouche was amazing. Duck was superb my only thought was that the portion could have been a little larger. Service exemplary. Will be going again no question. Easily the best restaurant in the area.

    Quite probably the best food I’ve ever tasted! It’s incredible. The chilled pea custard sounds so simple but the flavours are mind blowing! From now on this place is the benchmark for every other meal out I have!

    Our visits to Stones are always a treat - we visit several times each year, but only on special occasions. Because it's a treat, the experience (not just the food) has to be exceptional - and I am often worried that our expectations are so high that we might go and be disappointed. So far, we have never had to worry - they get everything just right. The service is friendly but professional. They are attentive but not intrusive. The food is delicious, and the portions are plentiful but not overwhelming. On our recent visits we have had the tasting menu, and we've never felt able to tackle the (optional) cheese. We've even struggled to finish the petit fours with the coffee. But we have made it to the end and enjoyed every bit of every dish. Just a lovely place to visit.
