Styx and Stone is a Christchurch restaurant at the Northwood Supa Centa on Main North Road in Belfast, open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, 11:30am to 9pm. The menu is built on what the team calls the best of both worlds: healthy food like stonegrill, alongside à la carte options that will satisfy any appetite.
Stonegrill is the namesake drawcard — meals served on hot stone for a dining experience that is part dinner, part theatre. The professional team caters for all tastes and, by their own description, keeps guests entertained. Beyond the everyday menu there are daily deals through the week, quiz nights, bookable functions and gift vouchers.
The kitchen also runs SMOKED by Styx and Stone, a dedicated smoked-food menu available as outside catering for corporate events, weddings and birthdays. Tables can be booked online, and the team shares news and photos on Facebook and Instagram.
Styx and Stone occupies a spot at the Northwood Supa Centa on Main North Road in Belfast, on Christchurch's northern side, and it has built its name on one of the more theatrical ways of serving a meal: stonegrill. Doors are open from 11:30am until 9pm, seven days a week, so the restaurant covers long lunches, after-work dinners and weekend family meals alike.
The kitchen works on what the team calls the best of both worlds: healthy food like stonegrill, alongside à la carte options that will satisfy any appetite. One half of the menu is built around the hot-stone experience the venue is named for; the other is a straightforward restaurant menu for anyone who would rather simply order and be served. Between the two, the professional team aims to cater for all tastes — and, by their own description, to keep guests entertained while they do it.
Stonegrill is the signature. Your meal arrives on heated stone and finishes cooking at the table, sizzling as you eat — part dinner, part theatre. The restaurant groups stonegrill with its healthy options, which is part of its appeal for lighter eaters, and it suits anyone who likes their food hot to the very last bite. It is also, honestly, a bit of fun: there is something satisfying about hearing your dinner still cooking as it lands in front of you.
If hot stone is not your thing, the à la carte menu covers the familiar territory you would expect from a neighbourhood restaurant, with hearty options designed to leave nobody hungry. That split personality — light and interactive on one side, classic and filling on the other — is what makes the venue an easy choice for groups with mixed appetites.
Eating out seven days a week gets expensive, so the restaurant runs daily deals, with offers changing across the week and published on the daily deals page of the website. Checking that page before you visit is an easy way to stretch the budget.
The venue also hosts quiz nights, with details on the quiz info page — worth a look if you like your dinner with a side of trivia. For gift-givers, vouchers are available, and the gallery on the website gives a good sense of the food and the room before you book. The team stays active on Facebook and Instagram if you want a running feed of what is happening.
Alongside the restaurant menu, the team runs SMOKED by Styx and Stone, a dedicated smoked-food menu with its own pages on the site. SMOKED is available for outside catering — corporate events, weddings and birthdays — so if you want the venue's smoked cooking brought to your event, enquiries go to [email protected].
Functions at the restaurant itself can be booked too, which makes the Northwood location a practical pick for work dos and celebrations on Christchurch's northern side.
You will find Styx and Stone at the Northwood Supa Centa, Main North Road, Belfast, Christchurch. Hours run 11:30am to 9pm, Monday to Sunday. Tables can be reserved through the online booking system linked from the website, or by phone on 03 323 4497; general enquiries go to [email protected].
Because it sits within a Supa Centa, it is an easy stop to fold into a shopping run — and with the stonegrill experience, rotating daily deals, quiz nights and the SMOKED catering arm, there is more than one reason to make the trip.
