About The Royal Stag
The Royal Stag is a pub in Slough serving British food in an old beamed building with wine crates used as decor and a fireplace. The kitchen runs to pies, including Beef & Ale and Steak & Ale versions with mashed potatoes and gravy, alongside beer battered cod and chips and a chilli prawn starter with seabass on the menu. Vegetarian diners can order sausages with mashed potatoes and onion gravy, and the nachos are made on site. The bar pours Guinness, Stella Artois and cider, plus a rotating selection of ales and IPAs including a Dark IPA. It operates on a walk-in basis, with no reservations needed, and opens daily across the twenty-dish menu. An outdoor seating area extends the room beyond the fireplace and beams inside.

“What an excellent find, the Dark IPA was amazing. The Staff were courteous and welcoming, and the ale choices plentiful. We were staying in Slough, the £7 taxi fare was a small price to pay to be able to sample and experience the 1st class Royal Stag”

“Best Steak & Ale pie on the planet! Service staff fantastic and great vibe/atmosphere... If you want a true British pub experience and don't want to miss out on the best meal in the UK outside of my wife's cooking then this is the place! Make a detour to get there, you won't be disappointed!”
