Yes, weight should be in stone.
"Are you in a pub drinking beer or cider?" is in imperial, although I think glasses are marked at the 568ml level. Spirits are sold in multiples of 25/35 ml.
The significant difference in recipes is that we only measure liquids by volumes (which would be metric) - using cups and spoons for ingredients like flour would get you a funny look, those would be in grams which you would measure by weight.
