For the second year running The Crown of India was voted top of the tapas pops
The results are in following the second edition of the Stone Food & Drink Festival Tapas Trail.
The Tapas Trail took place in the week running up to the 2017 Food & Drink Festival.
The event is inspired by one that takes place in Stafford Borough’s Spanish twin town, Tarragona. The trail is sponsored by local accountant Bob Knight of R A Knight & Co. Bob has enjoyed the Spanish edition many times and is delighted to bring it to Stone.
In 2017 there were 5 restaurants on the trail; each serving a different tapas style dish for £3.50 each.
The restaurants involved were:
- The Wheatsheaf, Oulton
- Little Seeds
- The Crown & Anchor
- Granvilles
- The Crown of India
On the trail diners had the opportunity to complete a score card, marking each of the venues. Once completed the cards were sent in to enter a prize draw to win a meal for two.
The top scoring venue was also to be commended, in the form of a Tapas Trail certificate.
For the second year running, the winning restaurant was The Crown of India on Market Square, Stone. Their tapas-style ‘Cinnamon flavoured curry with rice‘ was a hit with trail’s diners.
The lucky winner of prize draw, who will enjoy a meal for two at The Crown of India, is Matt Mathais.
Food & Drink Festival Chairman, Richard Stevens, said:
“We’re delighted with the success of the 2017 Tapas Trail – this event has all the hallmarks of a festival classic and we’re hoping that even more local restaurants and bars get in on the act in 2018.”
The Stone Food & Drink Festival takes place on the first weekend of October. In 2018 the festival will take place between Friday 5th October and Sunday 7th October.
