“The Stag Head strikes me as a place where the community matters as much as the comfort. It has adapted creatively, and while some menu items may need a second look from the kitchen, the commitment to service and local spirit shines through. The outdoor beer garden, born of necessity, sounds like a genuinely welcoming space.”
