What McCana likes about The Stag:
This is simply a wee gem of a bar and restaurant. We discovered this by chance travelling back from Belton House and having done that for so many years before we'd really missed out on this fabulous friendly bar and restaurant. The staff are just... View all feedback. What duncans995 doesn't like about The Stag:
7 people and 7 different dishes. All the dishes apart from one were great and enjoyed. A steak burger was not entirely as described, the brioche bun was a plain white bun and the burger was over cooked and hard, it came with leicester cheese and onion relish neither being very impressive. The meal was returned and a refund given without argument. Overall a great evening with some good food. Worth a visit. View all feedback.
