Gill was brilliant with helping us out with somewhere to have lunch the day after our wedding back in July. We were a group of 50 and she really went above and beyond, was so helpful and friendly throughout. Thank you so much to Gill and the whole team, we’ll definitely be back.

The food and venue is good, and they're dog friendly which is fab, but the service is super slow - we waited 40 minutes for our starter of soup and 50 minutes after that before our main turned up. There's only one veggie option but the meals look lovely!

We love the Stag Inn. Every time we go the staff have been welcoming and friendly, and the food is of a high standard; the beef rump was cooked to perfection on our last visit and melt in the mouth. It is the pub we visit the most in our local area.

The staff are super friendly, the pub has a lovely atmosphere, the food is to die for the best roast dinner I have eaten yet, a very beautiful place. Hidden away in the countryside. The owner is friendly and funny no rush to eat your food. The toilets are spotless and the price of the meals are very good. I will be coming back here again. I would highly recommend eating here amazing.
