The Four Stones

A lovely Boxing Day lunch - very good value for money

The staff were excellent. The food was good even though the fish out under cooked they rectified straight away and still came back with new fillets cooked correctly and not over cooked. This restaurant was very dated last time I came but at last they have now come up to scratch well done we will be back

Absolutely shocking, sent all 4 meals back as they were inedible & they still had the nerve to still charge for our 4 drinks. Such a lovely location, but surprised this place is still trading as a restaurant. What a shame.

We go to the Four Stones every Christmas and sometimes New Years Eve. This year’s experience was the worst ever. Just the Christmas fayre menu and no specials - usually a fantastic choice of specials alongside the Christmas menu. The restaurant was cold and unwelcoming without the usual roaring wood burner. Food was just “ok” and nothing special at all. My guess is the staff may have completely changed from last year. Will not be going again I’m afraid after several years of patronage.

Starter - Tart was all pastry & no filling Main - Turkey was lovely but Yorkshire and roast potatoes we like rubber couldn’t cut them. The last few times I’ve visited food quality not as good as it used to be.

Our first visit and will not be the last. The warm welcome the friendly smart staff the amazing food and of course the warm cosy place itself were all amazing.

Good food , good atmosphere, attentive staff and good location for a walk afterwards

Beautiful food and surroundings felt very Christmassy with the music

Unfortunately we were sat next to a very noisy table of ladies so difficult to talk amongst our own party of 6! There was no Coke or lemonade, 2 courses had been substituted, I had Turkey but it was not very hot, thick slices were not appetising along with massive parsnips and carrots - I would have liked peas or sprouts - whole meal was insipid and bland and did not enjoy it . Roast potatoes were pale and gravy tasted fake .

Festive menu sounded really nice but when it came my quiche was dried out and turkey meal ....carrots were raw

Couldn’t have the selection of sweets required as they ran out. Perhaps with larger groups this may be an idea to select requirements in advance re the menu.

Table wasn't ready for us. The food was very poor. No finesse to the way it was produced

Not the best , service not the best had to ask for water 4 times , had no salad to go with one of the meals , pate bread nearly broke teeth on !!!

The menu looked great, the staff were efficient and attentive, but it failed in execution. The starters were lovely. 4 out of 5 had steak, and although requested medium rare, and looked good, tasted dry. The gravy was like water and not what you would wish near a £10.00 extra steak!. The chips were soggy. In our opinion the kitchen needs a rethink.

Nice Sunday lunch, good service and food quality. Haven’t been here for a few years, setting and atmosphere were lovely. Food could have been a little hotter but still a nice experience.

Nice food and nice restaurant. Could have had a few more options on the menu.

First time here. Small restaurant so no bar area to enjoy a drink first but staff friendly. Home style cooking.

No fire lit so room cold. Tried to sit us by the door! Service slow No roasters or choice of veg Plates like dishes

Food was great, just portion size was small and left you needing more

Menu was different from the one advertised. Many wines and cocktails were out of stock. Went elsewhere.

Arrived with no one to speak to for at least 5 mins. Shown to table and left there for ages with no menu or request for drinks. Arrived at 1.15, started to eat at 2.15!! Service was none existent

Food was below average. Staff were pleasant but there was no managerial presence and the place lacked atmosphere as there were only three other tables eating. Very disappointing.

Thoroughly enjoyed the evening... lovely food, ambience and service. It was my first visit (with a friend) but will definitely return, probably with hubby very soon

Lovely interior. Good food and good service. Soya would be great please!

Generally a pleasant evening given the fact that we had a Groupon voucher. Had to wait for table - not a problem. Several items were not available from the set menu meaning that there was quite a limited choice. Waitresses friendly as ever.

Compared with previous visits, the food was good, how vegetables are served as changed. Service between courses seemed longer than previous.

It was very busy when we first arrived but quietened down later. Lack of soft furnishings is the main reason for noisiness I think. Background music was not at all intrusive. Staff all very pleasant and friendly.

Great food friendly helpful Staff. We really enjoyed the experience

Overall nice food and friendly staff but a little disappointed with the wait for dessert but wouldn't put me off going again

My husband is currently having chemotherapy and has to have his food bought straight from kitchen to table piping hot without it sitting on the passé. I requested this when we arrived and the staff were extremely helpful and did everything they could to make sure he got his food first. The food was perfect. We were with another couple and they also enjoyed their food. We will certainly be returning more often

We have never been to this restaurant before. Absolutely rate it the atmosphere was relaxing, great food and service. The cocktails was top notched too. We will return.

visited for Sunday lunch - excellent food, wine and service

We have been to the Four Stones a couple of times and unfortunately our experience this time was not good and because of this we will not be returning. We were given the wrong menus and only told this after ordering when a waitress came out to say that the fillet steak was not on the menu, we then had the waitress come out again to say that the potato cake starter was also not on the menu. On the second time of re-ordering we asked if everything else was on the menu, we were told yes however when the two salmon mains turned up they were with boiled potatoes in mayonnaise with onion instead of crushed baby potatoes. We were offered some plain potatoes on the side which we both agreed to, when they came out there were plain potatoes in one dish and sliced potatoes again with onion on top in the other. The tart main was raw and the egg not cooked which had to be sent back. We waited 1 hour 45 minutes for our main course, the service was very slow. Although the staff were apologetic and the Manger did offer a discount, this came with an excuse about the chef being new. In all honesty apart from the tart being under cooked the problem was not with the chef but with the service, we would have appreciated a simple apology for the catalogue of errors and a discount without a weak excuse. Very disappointed.

Visited often and always delivers on quality food, service and ambiance!

Had a fabulous meal fine my mom’s birthdays lovely staff, relaxed atmosphere and super food will definitely go again

try to visit the four stones at least every four weeks, always receive a warm welcome from the manager and staff, food is good quality and value for money

Excellent food and nice venue in the conservatory with good service

Awesome. Friendly staff, great food, lovely location. A new favourite.

Lovely little place in a beautiful location. Cheese board is delicious!!

Arrived early, one of our party still to arrive, seated straight away. Looked after well without being rushed. Fabulous meal. Most impressed with menu choices. Will return definitely. Just checked open lunch times.
