I did request a roast chicken meal when I booked the table but it wasn’t an option when we came to eat. But the beef was delicious as an alternative

Not our first time at the Stag because the food is always good but this time the service was found wanting, dropping the venue down our list of good places to eat in Stow and surrounding areas.

Second time at the Stag. Had the delicious pie for two. It was outstanding. It came with vegetables mashed potatoes. Everything was great. Ended with the delicious sticky toffee pudding. Wonderful. Service was very friendly and efficient. Definitely recommend this restaurant!

The food was amazing however we were tucked in a corner where the table next to is had to move their child in order for us to get in and we were left nearly an hour to pay the bill. Such a shame!

I am a regular lunch diner there bringing my American clients for a traditional English pub experience. The Stag ticks all the boxes.

Lovely pub with nice ambience. Great sunday roast although they didn't want to swap the meat out with another meat on the menu which was a minor irritant. The only downside for thos pub is that the waiting staff lacked warmth and looked like they didn't want to be there...not sure if was due to staff shortage/off day and we were pretty much the only ones there to start with...otherwise a pleasant experience
