The Larder & Stone — dining room
Bristol · Est. 2019 · Two AA Rosettes

Modern British,
rooted in season.

A small dining room and open kitchen on King Street, serving a short, daily-changing menu drawn from the South West.

01 — The Story

Honest food.
Done properly.

The Larder & Stone opened in 2019 in a converted shopfront on Bristol's King Street. Twenty-two covers, an open kitchen, and a menu that changes with what arrives at the back door each morning.

Chef-owner Robert Stone trained at The Ledbury and Lyle's before spending five years in Copenhagen. He came home to cook for Bristol with the simple ambition of running a small, generous dining room — the kind of place you want to be a regular at.

We work directly with the farms and growers we trust most: Westcombe Dairy, Trealy Farm Charcuterie, Watson's Nurseries. The wine list leans natural, low-intervention, and weighted to producers we've visited.

03 — The Room

Twenty-two seats.
One open kitchen.

The dining room sits inside an old gilders' workshop — original floorboards, reclaimed lime walls, an open pass facing every table. Hospitality runs on a small team, with no rush between courses. We open Wednesday to Saturday for dinner, and Sundays for a long lunch.

In the press
“Quietly one of the best dining rooms in the West Country. Stone's cooking is generous, considered, and unmistakably his own.”
