Pub in Stone

“Always a friendly atmosphere. A good range of beers available including plenty of choice from their gin collection. Always happy to provide help and advice with drinks and mixers.”

“The most perfect wedding venue. From the outset of booking this venue Jose was there guiding us through everything we needed to know - not just about the venue, but advice on photographers and the actual ceremony expectations. The venue and grounds are simply stunning, you’d have never known we were so close to Stone centre! We were very lucky to get married outside and it was breathtaking, our wedding breakfast took place upstairs and it had its rustic charm with the beams and wheel, again, with lots of our guest commenting how lovely it was to see the character of the building. The food was unreal, one of the biggest compliments post wedding we got was about how amazing the food was especially the paella! Jose, his sister and all his family & workers that help run The Mill truly make it the wonderful, stress free and magical place to get married. I cannot recommend this place enough!”

“We come here every week. Staff are lovely and so dog friendly. Stone has alot if competition on where you can go but we still choose Bear!”

“This was my 2nd visit to blame frida and have loved it on both occasions. The nut roast & veggie burger are definitely worth trying. Fresh ingredients, well cooked and a lovely atmosphere. Will be returning to try more from a great menu x”

“Work in Stone a couple of days per week so have been coming in for my lunch. Lunchtime offers are great. Soft drink and a meal for just under 8 quid! Drink served within a couple of minutes to the table and the food is always quick as well! Longest I’ve waited is about 5 minutes for my food. Great service”

“We stopped here while out for the day celebrating a birthday. Excellent food, amazing portion sizes & prices. All 5 of us enjoyed the food, zero complaints. Great atmosphere & music. We will be returning.”

“Staff were friendly as were the customers. Had a lovely filling breakfast. Really recommend it.”

“We had a group meal here following a hike, very welcoming atmosphere. Roaring fire. Food was served on hot plates and was delicious. Staff were efficient and friendly.”

“Lovely lunch with very gentle, friendly and relaxed but efficient service. Full of flavour, fabulous quality ingredients, and extremely pretty presentation.”

“Attended a midweek gig here recently. Lovely intimate venue and some great drinks to go with!”

“first time visited, arrrived 1:50pm on Wednesday, all desserts are £5 only. the service was good and the food that we ordered were tasty. buffalo chicken wings almost charged £1 per wing. the confit belly pork, steak pie and sea baa were delicious. both crumbles and sticky toffee pudding with custard were values for money (£5 per dessert on wednesday)”

“Cracking local pub with a small, but carefully curated, selection of cask ales. We regularly visit on Thursdays for the quiz night where you’re well looked after and the midweek munch over winter (£8 for a pint and a good bowl of beef stew) is dangerously good! Be aware that there isn’t a regular substantial food offering but if you arrive hungry they’ll sort something out for you!”

“It is an excellent traditional pub with a bustling atmosphere, serving fantastic Titanic beers on tap. The Plum Porter is a must if you can only have the one!”

“Hands down the best place we’ve ever been too ! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was amazing and the staff made us feel so welcome. The food was absolutely delicious. The drinks were amazing, never seen nothing like it we had such a good time ( who ever comes up with these ideas is amazing) The atmosphere was unreal, such a fun and lively place with great music(including Xmas music) You could really tell they care about giving people a great experience, when wr came for our booking it was really busy but the staff handled it perfectly. Honestly, this is the best place we’ve been for a while in stone, and it completely exceeded our expectations. We’re already planning our next visit couldn’t recommend it enough! Next time I think we’re going to book for bottomless brunch! Thanks guys, merry Christmas”

“Beautiful country pub! We had a family dinner here, 15 of us across 4 generations, and it was excellent for all of us! The staff were attentive, despite it being a busy Sunday afternoon, with lots of other groups in too. What a beautiful, atmospheric place! Welcoming, clean, accessible, and busy - we'll definitely be back again soon.”

“The outside area is a good place on a sunny day.”

“We came as a family group of 6 and a toddler for a 60th birthday party on Saturday evening. The food and service was excellent. I don’t know the name of the waitress but she was exceptional. It was very busy but she still managed to be efficient, calm and find time to listen and talk to us in addition to having to rearrange the tables for another party. Our booking was under the name of Shaw so please thank the amazing young lady.”

“Been to the Old town vaults a few times. Always great well kept ales. Called in on a Saturday afternoon in September. I had the Joules peach lager for the first time. Was a well good tasty ale. The pub was fairly quiet as to be expected in the mid afternoon. Music at a respectable volume. Will be back again soon. Keep up the good work.”

“Such a pleasant place to come too for a pint, as the duck pond and surroundings are relaxing and you can get a coffee/sandwich from the cafe next door!”

“Very nice pub with loads of ales all brewed on site, pub has events on every couple weeks, staff friendly and Ste the gaffa is nice bloke always ready for a chat. They do sausage rolls and cobs and cakes and hot drinks would highly recommend. would highly recommend.”

“Our friends held their Wedding here and it was lovely. The staff were excellent and the food was awesome. we were lucky to have one of the hottest days of the year, so spent most time in the Garden which was also beautiful. Great day and what a fantastic wedding cake!”

“Very nice and friendly warm welcome. Fantastic food and service, excellent value for money. Definitely visit again.”

“We moored at the Marina for a few days, and we had a great 60th birthday lunch in the restaurant! Very good food, the staff are super and the setting is beautiful & very well landscaped. Highly recommended!”

“No parking onsite but there is a car park in the pub next door and a large car park 30 seconds down the road, waited around 5 mins for someone to get our reservation and seat us( this was a Saturday night and busy), after we were seated the service was excellent, lots of drinks to chose from especially whiskey and whiskey flights. The food was too good for words perfectly smoked and seasoned tasted amazing I would highly recommend. Portion sizes were decent too.”

“Went today for a team Christmas lunch. It wasn’t overly busy so we were served efficiently. Everyone enjoyed their food, there was plenty to get round after a few orders of the light bites and the Christmas dinners looked excellent. We didn’t bother with puddings so can’t comment but what we saw coming out looked decent. Special mention to Jack for being attentive and looking after us and his photography skills! Will definitely return especially during the summer as such a great location and n the canal.”
