New restaurant launches in Warwickshire

A brand-new restaurant offering British cuisine with Mediterranean influences has opened in Warwickshire.

Stone & Ivy, located within Weston Hall Hotel in Bulkington, has officially opened, offering members of the public and hotel residents a family-friendly dining experience.

The restaurant’s team of highly-qualified chefs, led by Head Chef Stuart Hiorns, have produced a unique menu which provides visitors with a twist on a variety of classic British dishes.

The thoughtfully-designed restaurant has opened following an extensive refurbishment project which has resulted in a complete transformation of the space, and now offers a whole new concept for those looking to enjoy daily dining, afternoon tea or a casual bistro lunch.

Stone & Ivy, which is open from midday to 9pm Monday to Sunday, has already received a large number of positive reviews since opening just a few weeks ago.

The team is now looking forward to welcoming even more people from across Coventry, Warwickshire and further afield to sample its culinary creations.

In addition to the restaurant, the hotel has a wide range of additional facilities, including a variety of conferencing and events spaces.

This includes small meeting spaces for around 10 people right up to larger conference spaces seating up to 200 people as well as an outdoor marquee within the hotel grounds.

Refreshments and catering services are also available for these, with food provided by the Stone & Ivy chefs.

The hotel also holds a calendar of events including live music and entertainment, and is already preparing for Christmas.

It is set to hold festive extravaganzas throughout the Christmas period where people can enjoy a wide range of food, live music and discos, and there will be a flagship Gatsby-themed Christmas party night featuring a 10-piece band and performers.

Simon Evans, of Weston Hall Hotel, said: “We’re extremely pleased to launch our brand-new restaurant Stone & Ivy.

“It’s an independent restaurant which is not just for hotel guests, but is open for members of the public to come along and enjoy the fantastic food that we have on offer.

“We have a large a la carte menu, set lunchtime menu available Monday to Thursday, a Sunday lunch menu and we also offer luxury afternoon teas.

“It’s a lovely space which has been completely transformed into a fresh, vibrant area where people can enjoy some excellent dishes prepared by our expert chefs.

“We’ve been blown away by the positive feedback that we’ve received after being open just a few weeks, and we’re already receiving bookings, including from people looking to celebrate an occasion with birthday or anniversary meals which is brilliant.

“We hope to raise £250,000 in aid of Myton which could fund our Warwick Inpatient Unit for almost two months!”

The Myton Hospices, which has sites in Coventry, Warwick and Rugby, is a leader in compassionate end of life care, with work centring on patient wellbeing and involving them in decisions about their care.

The Myton team provides high quality, specialist care to people whose condition no longer responds to curative treatment, from diagnosis to death.

The team aims to meet their physical, psychological, spiritual and social needs and ensure their families are supported both through and after this difficult time.

The charity supports thousands of people and their families every year in its hospices, via patient and family support services, and in the community through Myton at Home.
