Customer Reviews

Steve G
“The young staff here were always friendly and helpful. The pub has undergone a refurb and they’ve done it in a very respectful way by keeping many of the period features. The owner and his wife were warm and good to talk to. We especially enjoyed snagging the Chesterfield in front of the log fire while eating our pie and consuming a nice Heathcote shiraz at dinner.”

“The perfect pub experience. The Stags Head has recently changed hands, and new owners are doing a great job. Check out the main doors. They are a spin out. Food is delicious, not overpriced, and the atmosphere in the pub and on the outside tables is electric. Great place for a meal, call for a booking, this place is popular. 10/10 from me.”

“Revisited today after a long break….the new owners have done an amazing job. Fantastic renovation, great staff, but the food was the highlight. Sensational. We’ll be back soon.”
