The Stag And Hounds

"We had to charge our car nearby and came across The Stag and Hounds. It was bitterly cold outside and we were relieved to see several open fireplaces in full use which gave off a very cosy ambience! The staff were welcoming and attentive and they helped us decide what to eat based on their recommendations. Thank you also to Benjy .. or Ben ..He was a very charismatic and interesting chap and we enjoyed chatting."

"Booked a table for a celebration meal. We all got cabs there. Walked in, there was no table reserved for us, and no one in the pub was eating. Turned out there was no food being served as they hadn't had a delivery. No one had bothered to let us know, and I'd even received a confirmation email re the booking, a few hours before!! The young bar maids didn't know what was going on, and the so-called supervisor wouldn't even look at us, let alone offer some sort of apology! Ended up going somewhere else, and will never go back to the Stag and Hounds again, despite having been going there for decades. The lack of communication and the fact that they just didn't seem to care, was disgusting."

"First time back here since many months ago and the experience was much better. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the fish and chips were excellent. Glad to see the place turning around!"

"November 2022. Date of this review. Lovely pub but they appear to be having problems lately. Maybe wise to reconsider if thinking of eating or arranging an event here. Local reports of kitchen closing frequently and functions being cancelled at the last minute. Ember Inns need to sort this place out."
