The first thing you notice when entering the pub is the beautiful decor. The size and available space has been maximised, with a completely opened front-of-house that separates the main street and the pub with high benches and stools. The restaurant feels much larger than it really is, as an entire wall has been covered with a mirror. Finally, the ceiling is finished with hanging plants to further enhance the open "outdoors-iness" encapsulated within the restaurants arrangement.
The changing landscape of the modern day pub menu has seen The Stoned Crow follow suit. The classics such as chicken schnitzel and hamburgers are readily available, however a tapas menu is also on offer for those after something lighter. I hate to sound like a broken record player, however I cannot fault any of our three dishes; they were all superb. The S&P calamari is cooked perfectly, and is finished well with the tangy sauce included. The chorizo quesadilla came with hommus and cranberry, and too was gone quickly after arriving. However the highlight was the duck pizza; the hoisin sauce is balanced beautifully with the duck, finished with cucumber strips and shallots to give a fresh taste to the plate. The presentation of all three on cute little cutting boards can be seen below.
Whatever you're after, be it a beer and schnitty after a long days work, or a selection of tapas and pizza when dining out, you can't go wrong at The Stoned Crow.
