I have been to the Stag Inn on a number of occasions so when my daughter & her family came over for the weekend I happily booked a table for eight on the Sunday for 1pm. Usually a waiter/waitress comes to our table for drink orders but not this time, we had to keep going to the bar, When someone eventually took our food orders two had starters, main meals were not served for a total of 1hr 20minsThe inside was stifling, I did ask a waiter if a door could be opened, which he did but it was soon closed by another customerThe table when leaned on was wonky, my Grandsons chair was broken & on the whole not a good experience at allIt was not that busy so not sure what the problem wasIf the food had been good perhaps all this wouldn't have mattered but it wasn't.My gammon steak was very fatty.We have definitely had better times & meals here

Went as a table of 5 so a mixed order every bit of food came out presented beautifully and tasted excellent, the staff cleared table properly with no stacking of plates on table pet peeve of mine.Nicely presented with good selection will definitely return.Vegetarian options: Good range of choices.Dietary restrictions: Good selection of Gluten free meals.Parking: Ample well parking could do with better lighting

Expensive food. Had a roast, the carrots were black (burnt), cabbage and Yorkshire tasteless, cauliflower cheese was hard. Meat and roast potatoes were OK.£8 for puddings that were pre bought. My friend had an allergy so had no menu alternative.Were overcharged by £8!Complained but we're ignored.Avoid.

Won’t be returning. A shame to say but four on the table all agreed that we would not revisit again. Albeit there were Christmas parties, it was not that busy. Food was ordered. It was asked if just a meal of baby back ribs could be ordered instead of the additional chicken tenders as it was too big (no mention that it would still be charged for the full price). The mains were served. Chips were cold on two plates, vegetables cold on another plate. The ribs were sent back because the chips and onion rings were stone cold. Everyone else continued with their food and eventually a plate of hot chips and onion rings were served… minus the ribs. I asked where they were and the waitress said I had eaten them all! I said I hadn’t and had only eaten three or four because the rest of the meal was cold which was why I went to the bar to get a member of staff to rectify the issue. No update was given but 15 mins later a plate of ‘fresh’ ribs was served but I was told there would be a charge added for these. I said they could have them back if I was being charged. I hadn’t finished the ribs I’d originally ordered and the issue was everything else. Apparently I was ordering an additional rack of ribs as I had finished the others which certainly wasn’t the case. The waitress then asked the rest of the table their feedback of which some of the food was cold on each plate served. After this there were no more visits to our table. I would have liked to order more drinks but we even had to go to the bar for the bill as we were now being ignored. I didn’t expect to be charged full price for the ribs when the chicken was not part of the meal. I certainly didn’t expect to be charged fully following the cold food and the feedback of this. Maybe a drink or something taken off the bill would have been a suitable option due to the lack of service? It wasn’t handled well and I felt somewhat insulted. I notice that management has changed and Steve could have come over to the table to rectify things. All in all poor service, poor food and unprofessional staff.

Must have been a bad day as a lot of good reviews here. Sadly my experience wasn't that good. Cold plates and cold, just about cooked cabbage, slightly warm mash. The smallest piece of haggis and over grilled chicken,even less sauce almost £20.A hot rack of ribs with cold chips, a cold pot of beans and onion rings. The staff apologised and took it away, returning with a hot replacement minus the ¾ rack of ribs that were good. When asked where the ribs were we were given a full rack but told it would be added to the bill.An evening out spoiled by this experience so we left early.Although a very nice venue, we won't be going to The Stag again.

I don't know what has happened to the food but Sunday roasts are very mediocre now beef was from an Iceland joint by look of it mash was lumpy and large looked like small service for average looks like new staff possibly new chef maybe take a note out of carvery and get proper joints of meat in.

We called at 3pm on Sunday afternoon to book a late lunch and was told if we could get there by 3.30pm as the kitchen was closing. Luckily we just made it in time. We were greeted very well. All the staff were very good. We all ordered Scampi & Chips which was most probably the best I've had, with lovely chips that tasted great.The food and service was excellent.We were meeting up with family from the mainland that we haven't seen for over 11 years, and sat and chatted, after our meal for 5 hours in The Stag. We were very well looked after, even Cecil the dog. We will definitely be going here more often.
Food was really very nice, slight mix up with the bill, extras we never brought, but quick to sort out with no issue

I only stopped in for a drink before an appointment, so I can't comment on the food. The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and happy, though, so I'll definitely be back for food at some point.
Got the order wrong and lied about it.
