GRANVILLES This saw the final piece of the jigsaw slotting into place, Adam and Mandy purchased the painters and decorators and dry cleaners next door in the early 1990s. The live music element of Granvilles came next when at a dinner party one evening a friend suggested the pair should get a famous musician to play at the opening of the ‘Music Bar’, so Adam managed to secure the late, great, Jazz legend George Melly to come and perform, this helped launch Granvilles into not only a restaurant, but a music venue too. Adam added: “It was clear after that night that the place really leant itself to live music.” And so a new chapter in its history began. “It just seemed to hit the right note in Stone so to speak, and we have had such great support from locals and people visiting the town.” When asked about what Adam felt was his recipe for success he just simply put it down to his investment in quality. “We have a good reputation as a restaurant as we always go for quality and believe in using the best ingredients we can, from the wine list to freshly sourced produce, basically everything we buy. Also perhaps most importantly we have been extremely lucky to have some superb members of staff.” For now however, after 30 years in the business ® there is little wonder Granvilles Brasserie has earned the crown as one of Staffordshire’s best known restaurant and music venues, and with more plans in the pipeline for 2014, it looks set to hold on to that title for a long time to come.
