Stock Kitchen & Bar

We had our wedding here and it was the best decision we ever made. The staff and food was absolutely outstanding. It is a hidden gem in the heart of Belfast with plenty of character and charm. A special mention to Katie & Alistair for going the extra mile to make everything perfect for our big day they are so down to earth and are fantastic at organising. I would give more stars if I could! Great memories made and more to come as I definitely will be back. Melissa & Andrew

Excellent evening meal. Wonderful and tasty quality of food, great service, concise but wide-ranging menu to suit most palate. Good choice of wine and cocktails. Prices similar to other eateries nearby. And the portions are extremely generous! We will be back, for sure.

Nice little restaurant overlooking the market. We had a nice brunch here and then went on to explore the market. Live music was a nice touch to have as well as the hustle and bustle of the market in the background. Really great vibes

Came here for a late lunch mid-afternoon, just as the market was closing. The first floor balcony overlooking the market was lovely, but we soon learnt that it was easy to be forgotten there. After about 20 minutes I had to wave at a server inside before anyone would come to take a drinks order. Ordered the food when the drinks arrived, and then another long wait. Maybe it was a staff changeover or they were taking a break after the lunchtime peak, but everything was just too slow. Saying that, the servers were really friendly and helpful and the food was very good. The bar and indoor seating areas are also very nicely appointed. We paid the included service charge but maybe we shouldn’t have. Hoping for a better experience next time.

Food was excellent! We had a great spot on the balcony overlooking the market. Staff was a bit overwhelmed, we waited long to be served but the food was great. Pricing also acceptable for this touristy spot. Would definitely go again.

Had probably one of the best fish meals ever! Flavours and presentation were first class and service was efficient and friendly. Highly recommend the seafood casserole ( if you don’t mind shells), and really I was spoilt for choice where the menu was concerned. It is on the pricey side but so well worth it. Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Our snacky Christmas lunch was delicious! So nice to see local recipes and ingredients being used here. The oysters were a great start, but the scallops with artichoke chips were stunning, and the crubeens even more so. The courgette fries were a nice twist and the polenta with ossobuco was very tasty, and I'm not normally a fan of polenta! Rounded it off with a pair of cocktails each, we left this cosy and fancy little gem very content!

We were really looking forward to our visit to stock for my birthday, however we had a really disappointing experience and would not be happy to return. Both myself and my husband went for the set Christmas menu at £52 pp - happy to pay initially as we anticipated good food however it was not worth the price at all. More than happy to pay above average prices if the food matches. My husband had the Parmesan arancini to start which was very bland and tasteless. We both ordered the monkfish with prawn bisque, roasted fennel, tomato and basil. However roasted monkfish with a Thai style coconut broth arrived and Asian greens - this was on the al la carte menu and not what we ordered. There was also prawns within the broth which tasted barely cooked, being pregnant this was very concerning, after bringing this up with the waiter she informed us they had been poached, they weren’t edible. We also brought the issue of the wrong monkfish dish to which the waitress said the tomato and basil was a garnish on our dish - there was none on our dish. The monkfish came with a side of mash and roast potatoes, the mash wasn’t warm. I ordered the baked cheesecake for dessert, however when it arrived it was a standard cheesecake, I again brought this up with the waitress who said it was baked to set it or else it would be runny. Shouldn’t be advertised as a baked cheesecake. Wouldn’t have ordered if I knew this. There’s was only a 3 tables including ours (later a larger table came in) so no excuse for the poor quality. There was an issue with every dish, food average and quite bland, not what we expected. We didn’t receive any apology from the staff. Would not recommend/return.
