British, Modern Restaurants in Stone
1. Little Seeds
British, Modern restaurant in Stone
16 - 18 Radford Street - ST15
The “lovely garden” at Sophie Hardman and Jake Lowndes’s ‘bar and kitchen’ received a major boost this year as it was expanded and improved; and it has a “snug” interior too. There’s the odd quibble that results are “pricey for Stone!” but all feedback says the modern British cuisine is “good” or “very good”.
2. The Duncombe Arms
British, Modern restaurant in Ellastone
Main Rd - DE6
An “absolute gem just north of Uttoxeter” – this rather glamorous peak District venture is “the local we all wish we had”, to quote The Daily Mail’s Tom Parker Bowles; “the tarte Tatin alone is worth the visit” but the modern British menu (more casual in the bar) also features “excellent dishes such as omelette Arnold Bennett and crispy belly pork” and their rooms are “brilliant” if you stay overnight.
3. Moat House
British, Modern restaurant in Stafford
Lower Penkridge Rd, Acton Trussell - ST17
2023 Review: A “smart hotel” with its own lake set in the Staffs countryside, where the “cosy restaurant serves good value food using local produce”. Tuesday night is grill night – on other evenings steaks and pub classics feature on the menu alongside somewhat fancier fare.
4. Lunar
British, Modern restaurant in Barlaston
Wedgwood Drive - ST12
“You are served in a large dining room under a giant moon” in this striking eatery – a centrepiece of the World of Wedgwood – which was added to this factory-visit and museum experience in late 2021. Named for a seventeenth-century dining club filled with luminaries of the Midlands Enlightenment, and overseen by local lad Niall Keating (who left behind two Michelin stars to take up the opportunity), it brings a pleasing level of ambition to underserved Staffs and The Potteries. There’s a relatively affordable à la carte menu, or an eight-course tasting menu for £120 per person. Given that its mere presence is a minor miracle in the area, it’s not hard to be bowled over and it delivers “frequently excellent dishes – often containing luxury ingredients, formally but attentively and helpfully served, if in a space that is perhaps a little large to feel completely at home in”. On the flip-side, even those who think it “very good” can still find it “overpriced”.
