  “Thank you for looking after us today. We were a large party of 9 but nothing was too much trouble. We felt very well looked after and the food was fresh and tasty.”

  “Had a wonderful experience at the Stag today. Food was delicious and hot. Very generous portions and great value for money. The service was spot on, special mention to Laura who looked after us from start to finish. We was celebrating a friend's birthday. She allowed us to put a banner out and even sang happy birthday. We will definitely be returning”

  “We shared 5 plates of food out of the 5 we enjoyed 1. The chicken was dry. The nachos were crumbs with minimal topping. The taco shells were inedible but you can't ruin fries. Overall I enjoy the stag the environment is nice, however today the food was bad hopefully the next time we visit the food would have been improved.”

  “I’m extremely disappointed with how we were treated during my friend’s wake. This was meant to be a difficult day where compassion, professionalism, and respect should have been shown, but unfortunately that was far from our experience. The lack of sensitivity and understanding from staff was upsetting at a time when emotions were already running high. The atmosphere created by the poor treatment added unnecessary stress and upset to an already heartbreaking occasion. A wake is a time for people to come together, remember their loved one, and grieve in peace. To be met with such poor service and lack of empathy was deeply unacceptable. I would not recommend this venue to anyone looking for a respectful and supportive environment for such an important and emotional event. Quite frankly it is none of my business as to the comings and goings of the stag the bar and its staff! So I cannot fathom why I was privy to such poor conversation relating to other members of staff. Not the time and certainly not the place.”

  “On the 06/05 we held my partner’s wake at the stag, please remember when reading this review that this was a wake, the very last thing that I got to do for my partner and the place his children got to see how loved and missed he was. The attitude of the staff was absolutely appalling, mourners were ignored at the bar as the staff discussed rotas and openly complained about management and staff, there were 2 occasions where drinks were spilt (it is a pub this happens), on the first occasion the staff member told the customer I don’t have time to clean that and practically threw the blueroll at her. On the second occasion, the spill was seen by the staff member, the person close to the spill wasn’t even the one who spilt it, she said I’ll get you something to clean that up with, we did not clean it up, we didn’t spill it and we don’t work there, she then kept walking past mumbling that it hadn’t been cleaned yet. I paid for a buffet for 60 people, before hardly anyone had eaten they ran out of plates, when we asked for more we were told well we don’t have anymore, she then took dirty plates off tables and put them on the pile! There was plenty of food left so there’s no way 60 people had eaten at this point! One mourner heard a staff member say ‘some f-ing party this is’ I spoke to the person explaining how unhappy I was, he said he’d call back the following day, he did not, he stated he had a family emergency, which to be honest just adds to the unprofessional nature of the place, I’m telling you staff were discussing private things in front of us and then he you do the same?! He handled the complaint fairly well up to a point, he then asked me what I wanted, like I was after a refund, like money would give me back what they ruined, he then said I wish I could turn back the clock… don’t we all! What I actually want is for no one to use this place for something as important as a wake, to not have to feel how I do. They don’t deserve the business, they don’t deserve jobs. Every single staff member involved should feel utterly ashamed! Don’t know how they sleep at night knowing how disrespectful they were”

  “We recently held my mother in laws wake here and I have to say everything was amazing, the silver buffet was incredible, food was highly complimented by lots of people, staff were very polite and friendly. We would highly recommend whether just popping in for a meal or if you are looking for a nice, small welcoming place to hold a wake. Thank you from the Horne Family.”

  “Sadly had to rate a 3star overall. Food came and looked really promising but sadly it lacked any real flavour and was really poor. The staff however were lovely. Attentive and friendly, a full 5 stars. Atmosphere was pretty good and everyone seemed to enjoy the afternoon. Won’t be returning which is a shame as I’d read such great reviews.”

  “Held my fathers wake here for 67 guests. The staff were so friendly and accommodating to our requests sectioning off an area so we were all sat together. The buffet was lovely with a wide selection of food and plenty of it! We have eaten here previously and never been disappointed with our meals. Would highly recommend.”

  “Our Go-To Pub! As regulars at The Stag Pub, we honestly can't recommend it enough! From the moment we first visited, we've been hooked, and it’s become our go-to spot for a relaxed drink, great food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. All the staff and especially Wendy and Andy are fabulous. They make the pub feel like a home away from home every time we walk in. Always friendly & attentive they go out of their way to ensure that every visit is top-notch. Their genuine hospitality is one of the main reasons we keep coming back! The food at the Stag is consistently excellent. Whether it's a classic pub meal like steak and ale pie or fish and chips, you won’t be disappointed. The drinks selection is also great, with a wide range of beers and ales to choose from. What we love most about The Stag Pub is its relaxed vibe. It’s the perfect place to unwind after a long day, catch up with friends, or enjoy a weekend night out. The pub also hosts fun events like quiz nights and live music, which keep things lively without ever feeling too busy or overwhelming. All in all, The Stag Pub has everything you could ask for—great food, amazing drinks, and a staff that truly makes you feel like part of the family. If you're in the area (or even if you're not!), make sure to stop by. You’ll understand why we’re regulars—and why we’ll keep coming back.”
