The Stags Head - Daventry

This is possibly the worst pub I have had the misfortune in entering. Rude, unwelcoming staff, unpleasant experience. Would have complained in person but we were pretty much ushered out as the pub quiz was a 'sold out event '. Surprising really, given the quality of service, that anything in this place could be sold out? People skills maybe need to be encouraged.

We are not local but visit the area every year. This year was our first visit to The Stag, Its a proper Pub with Proper food and Friendly and welcoming staff..The food was first class Pub Fayre of great quality..We enjoyed the whole experience so much, we returned again 2 days later to another friendly welcome and great Grub...Thanks to Everyone at The Stag, See you when we return to your area next June

The Stag is a must! My wife and I stopped off for a bite to eat and found this lovely pub. The food was amazing and service was spot on. Would highly recommend. Very reasonable prices with a great variety of food to offer.

We had booked for 7.15 and eventually got our food at 8.10 due to a large birthday party and the staff apologised profusely and that was really no problem to us just had a good chat with our friends. I ordered the sirloin steak on the rare side of medium rare and it was slightly overdone but was very nice and tasty. My only complaint would be the cost of the accompanying condiments £3.85 for pepper sauce and there was no gravy on the plate makes the problem in the press regarding Rick Stein charging £2 for gravy pale into real insignificance. I did not see the price before I ordered it my own fault, but as I said it was a nice meal and I would recommend the pub to anyone but just avoid the extras

Stayed for one night bed and breakfast and had a evening meal and was very well welcomed by Rob and his staff. Meals were very good and all staff will go out of their way to help you. It is not the Ritz and the prices reflect this, and the owner is doing his very best in these challenging times. Two tips, you may find you can not book in until 5.00pm and in this hot weather take a fan to help sleeping! Nice to go somewhere from here and have a large car park to come back too and have a pint!
