Took my wife here for our anniversary dinner. Wanted to do something a little out of our comfort zone and step away from traditional Italian places, steakhouses and our usual joints. First time ever attending a British restaurant. It was awesome! Great atmosphere, staff and owner super friendly. Get the stonut! It was to die for! 10/10 would get again.

If you're looking for good live music and fantastic British food, look no further. Stoney's has been a North Wilmington staple for three decades and there's a reason why: it is uniquely authentic in both its cuisine and and libations. The shepherd's pie, which my wife got, was not only well seasoned but was a very reasonable portion size. I got the Bridie and it was also perfectly cooked inside a delicate pastry that melted in my mouth. We had dinner with another couple who both got the fish and chips and they told us it was the batter was very light as it should be.
Now on to the booze; there are several solid British beers on tap and and an even bigger bottle selection. Try anything from Samuel Smiths and you can't go wrong. For an after dinner dram I had Stoney's whiskey of the month (for the life of me I can't remember the name) which was a 25 year old for only $10!
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because our table was set up right next to the band, who were great, and at times it was hard to hear ourselves. It might behoove Stoney to remove a table or two that are right up front when a band is playing.
If you're looking for a different experience than your normal eating establishment then give Stoney's a try. Just be patient with the staff; like the rest of the industry Stoney's is not immune to staffing shortages and your meal will probably take a little longer than what you're accustomed to. I promise it's worth the wait.
Took the family here on a Saturday afternoon. Never had English food in my life! I'd say, it was an interesting cultural experience. We had a Scottish Egg, Fish and Chips and a Toffee Pudding. They were an incredible eat, the batter was light and airy and the pudding had me hooked until the last spoonful!
The inside is a great and tiny hole in the wall pub. Can't recommend this enough!
Be aware the food, does come somewhat plain, as from my understanding is how authentic British cuisine is prepared. So utilize the sauces to enhance the flavor!
This place is great. My wife and I met the owner and he told us about how he was a promoter for musical acts back in the seventies and eighties. There was also a great band playing blues music.
What a wonderful meal in a great setting! The service was perfect. The bangers and mash did not disappoint, and the sausages alone are worth the trip. The Yorkshire pudding was fabulous. But then there's dessert. The "stonut" ... Don't miss it!! An amazing donut, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, topped with a ball of vanilla ice cream and a sauce that is absolutely divine. Just try it ... You won't be sorry!
This was my 2nd time here. The fish and chips were excellent. The fish was very flaky with a perfect golden crust. We were at a table then moved to the bar. Service at both spots was great especially considering it was a Friday night, plus we were a party of 6. I will be going back
The Pub is open!!! The waitress was divine and extremely helpful. The owner of the Pub (Stoney) which was not there use to be in the recording industry. The records on the walls are from his past friends/artists. He has several photos with different stars on the wall as well. He couldn't find the food he liked in the area so he just opened his own English Pub. We are so glad he did because it was my first English meal and I so enjoyed it. I fell in love with the hot teal and OMG, that mustard!!!! I could have ate that whole jar! I loved it. Everything was so delish that we were both so full when we left that we almost had to be rolled out 🤣. Thanks for an amazing first English experience.
