The young blonde barmaid is not fit to work in a bar, end of story. Everything else seems to be in order but she has negatively impacted upon my consumer experience on multiple occasions so I won't be back. Sack her and tell her to talk to a psychiatrist.

Good pub food, generous portion sizes for the starter and main. Steak pie was lovely. Reason for 4 stars, please get the very squeaky door going into the kitchen fixed it was very annoying listing to it the entire time. Only takes a little bit of WD40!

Pint at The Stag. Friendly welcoming staff, clean and inviting bar and they sell The Orchard Pig cider. Oh and they're also dog friendly. 10/10

It started bad, someone entering on crutches asked to go to the other end of the room. Then the drinks were wrong I asked for a soda water with a half dash of lime - no lime, the soup came a couple of minutes later asked if everything was alright, said soup fine but the room was freezing - heating was never put on. Main meals came husband asked for a steak pie but what he got was a stew with a bit of pastry put on top, I asked for the chicken burger and chips and coleslaw but it was served on a piece of wood - no plate. Burger was good but I don't like skinny fries , coleslaw chunky. Waitress very

Food was incredible and the portions were very generous. Service was top notch, Kim in particular was a delight. It was great being able to have a proper 3 course meal with our dogs in tow, a water bowl was kindly provided. Definitely could recommend a visit for a dinner. P.s. the apple pie was huuuge!

Great for an evening meal; been here loads of times over the years. Offers standard pub grub. Portion sizes are generous, especially the burgers with chips.
I enjoyed my vegetarian katsu curry. It was probably creamier than other katsu curries i have had. The chicken liver pâté starter was also good.
Service was quick and friendly. Appropriate Covid secure measures were also in place.

We had an excellent meal at The Stag restaurant. We all really enjoyed our meals. Steal and ale pie was great. Lots of steak and delicious hand cut chips. Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere.

Generous portions of good food, friendly staff and child friendly. We didn't need to use the baby changing so can't comment on that but we were provided with a good high chair (with built in tray) and colouring pencils / paper to complement the children's menu which was itself pretty good.
