From the moment you descend into the decadent grotto that is The Stockbridge Restaurant you know you’re in for a treat.
From the food to the ambiance, The Stockbridge has all the right ingredients. “I was beginning to think it was me, that I had turned into a serial culinary curmudgeon, incapable of giving credit where it was due. It seemed an age since a restaurant I was reviewing ticked every box without some note of caution or qualification. And then I went to The Stockbridge Restaurant. No riders needed here. I haven’t enjoyed a meal so much for ages.
Review: Joanna Blythman
The Stockbridge Restaurant is in an imaginatively decorated basement. The black walls, gold satin drapes, and bright modern art produce a surprisingly swanky environment.
You can tell a lot of thought and care is going into the cooking. The bread, for instance, was home-made and arrived with a palpably fresh, lemony, herby dip.
Restaurant Review: Gillian Glover
… so following the foliage embedded fairy light trail down the steps to the French windows that form the restaurant’s front door offers the same glamour it did three years ago.
Just as pleasant the continuing low-key opulence was the discovery of a more lavish menu- the sort where you want to order almost everything. And just for the sake of perfect symmetry, I was accompanied by the same colleague who sampled the restaurant the first time round.
