The staff were great with my food allergy. They checked with the chef and explained everything. Felt safe ordering. Quick and considerate service during a busy lunch.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s my go-to when the weather turns - just duck in, grab a table, and they keep the hot tea coming. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The halloumi was so good, and the beer garden is a lovely spot for a sunny day.

The hot pasties are the real deal here. Flaky, buttery pastry, packed with a proper meat and veg filling. Grabbed one at the bar with a pint. That&#39;s a solid lunch right there.

Angus at the bar was lovely. I always appreciate the fresh ingredients here, especially in the Blue Lagoon. You can really taste the quality. It&#39;s a nice, reliable spot for a thoughtful drink.

Brought my friends here for a catch-up. The garden is so nice for a relaxed chat. Could use a couple more veggie dishes though.

The outdoor seating area is really lovely, perfect for a relaxed meal. It&#39;s a very family and dog-friendly spot, which makes the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. The village is charming too.

Lovely Sunday roast, and the pub is dog friendly. The staff were very welcoming. What really stood out for me was the freshness of the vegetables - the carrots and parsnips were perfectly roasted, not at all soggy. A very nice, wholesome meal.

Absolutely loved the ambiance at The Stag. The decor is charming, and the garden area is perfect for a sunny day. The food was delicious, and the staff were incredibly welcoming.

The cocktails were spot on, and the bar snacks were a nice touch. Service was attentive but not overbearing.

Decent local spot. Staff are efficient, never had to wait long for a drink. Good for a quick pint after work. Dog-friendly policy is a practical plus.

The duck hash here is seriously good. Big portions for the price, too. My friend and I split it and still had leftovers. Drinks were a nice bonus, not overpriced. Solid spot.

Been here a few times for a Sunday roast. The beef is always tender, proper Yorkshire puddings too. It&#39;s a reliable spot for that kind of meal. Gets busy with families, so service can be a bit stretched.

Sho and the team were great with our big birthday booking. The wine list had some nice options to start the evening.

Steak night was a solid choice. The rib-eye was spot on medium-rare, and that peppercorn sauce was fantastic. Chips were nice and crispy too.

Good beer selection, decent non-alcoholic options too. The sticky toffee pudding was spot on. Service was efficient, got the bill quickly. Solid spot for a straightforward business lunch.

Garlic butter and paprika chips were the highlight. Cocktails are reliable, the smoked peach one is a good call. Decent spot for a quick bite and a drink.

The coffee was a bit on the pricier side, but the setting is lovely. We had a table by the window with a beautiful view, which made for a very relaxed afternoon. It&#39;s a nice, comfortable spot to unwind.

Great spot for a quick bite with the dog. Staff are friendly, they even have water bowls out. Food came fast, burger was decent. Nice to see a place that welcomes the whole family. 👍

Good pub quiz night, and the food&#39;s solid. Had the fish and chips, batter was crisp, chips proper chunky. Staff were really friendly, even sorted a table for our group last minute.

The cocktails here are the real draw. Had a perfectly balanced negroni that paired nicely with the tacos from the pop-up kitchen. A solid spot for a drink and a bite.

They were really helpful when we showed up with our dog and a few friends. Didn&#39;t have to ask, just found us a table that worked. Made it easy.

Perfect for a quick lunch. Fish and chips were spot on, crispy batter, no soggy chips. In and out in 30 mins, which is exactly what I needed. Pizza looked good too, might try that next time.

Been coming here for years. The free parking out back is a lifesaver, especially when I&#39;m just popping in for a quick lunch. Means I don&#39;t have to stress about finding a spot or paying a fortune in town.

Great spot for a pint, especially with the dog. Staff were really helpful finding us a table when it was packed.

Been coming here for years, and the beef roast is always spot on. Never greasy, never dry. Just a solid, reliable Sunday lunch by the canal. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.
