L. M. (.

Shared a meal with two friends at The Stag and stayed for the themed Quiz. Good night, enjoyable food, prices reasonable. Only just got the menus and the waitress was a little too eager asking us for our choices. Accommodated tweaks to the meals but when swapping out an item with my dessert I got charged for the replacement item, would have been nice if they'd told me that was going to happen.

K. W.

Friendly service, and I strongly recommend the veggie burger!

P. S.

Food was good limited menu and yes I agree the only thing that does get on my wick is the over eager staff. Almost as though they want you in and out as quick a possible. Once order was made and the coke glass cooled down after a speedy trip from the bar to the table they eventually left us alone . However what ever you do don’t make it obvious that you have finished even if you have not because yes your right it’s like a swarm of locus’s heading for your table. All in all a good meal … Worth a visit if nothing else !!

P. L.

Excellent and very well managed under current difficulties.

The food was fantastic. Had the Coronation Chicken on baguette. Such a nice place for a fresh and filling meal. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Husband had a burger with beef, bacon and a chicken breast. He said it was amazing. I'd come back to Isle of Wight just to eat here again. :-)

Stopped on the way back from Ventor whilst waiting for the ferry back to the main land. So glad I did, expansive food and drinks menu and very welcoming and attentive staff. I had the chicken and haggis which was the best meal I have had all week. Great job

Delicious food and very generous portion sizes! The staff were friendly and the service was very quick. Overall a lovely meal out.

L. S.

went for Sunday lunch and wow it was amazing. I started with the cabin fries the were delicious, my partner went for the garlic mushrooms great flavours and textures. The main event lamb roast great lots of sliced lamb, mash and roast potatoes, carrots, cabbage and peas homemade Yorkshire pudding, delicious hot and all cooked perfect. (the photos of the roast dinner taken after I started eating sorry). I skipped dessert but my partner had the baileys cheesecake and he loved it. last but not least the service was excellent throughout, friendly and genuinely cared about you.

K. S.

The most amazing service and meal at The Stag on 13th August for my daughters 30th birthday celebrations. All 24 meals were delicious. A big thank you to all the staff who looked after us . Highly recommended you won't be disappointed.

J. D.

First time here for a few years .The food was excellent,the staff were very friendly and we will definitely be coming back

H. B.

Had a fab lunch at the Stag today. Staff are very friendly and it feels very safe. Lovely to sit in the marquee at proper table and chairs. Definitely recommend the Club Sandwich and Cajun Fries, they are delicious!

l.

We found the food at The Stag was fantastic. The menu suited a wide ranging age group, with varied tastes. We usually like to try out different places when we are on holiday, but The Stag was such a hit with the whole family, we had to go back. The whole pub was extremely clean - even the toilets smelt pleasant! The staff were welcoming and friendly.

P. M.

Delighted to be back at the Stag for Sunday lunch. Choice of 4 roasts all excellent value, served with fresh vegetables and delicious gravy. The staff are as friendly and efficient as always, finding time to chat with their customers. I'm glad to have had my first post lockdown meal at the Stag and wish you continued success.

A. C.

Simply awesome. We made this our one meal out during our short stay on the Isle, and are so glad that we did. Portions are large, ingredients were fresh and flavourful. Staff very friendly and considerate especially considering COVID. We would gladly return here. Shout out to Harry.

D. D.

Went as party of 5, amazing food, everyone was impressed. The prices were good and the setting clean and friendly. Pleasant and efficient staff rounded out a great evening. Will definitely go again.

M. D.

The pub was located near to where I needed to be. The rooms with neat and tidy and quite spacious, and the bathroom was well laid out and clean and tidy. The breakfast was very good although I did not eat any other meals there,. The starter were always friendly and willing to help no matter what the question

L. W.

Had a great time at a quiz here recently. The management team / landlords are very friendly and helpful and will go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. The food is lacking in finesse but there are a lot of pub classics on offer and they have a specials board. There is a good amount of parking at the pub and varied accommodation to sit in.

R. H.

Friendly and very welcoming. This was the second time we have eaten there and been in a few times for a quiet drink. Food was lovely, dessert was really good. Will definitely eat there again, think it's become our new local 😊 highly recommend

G. W.

Amazing food, friendly staff and just an all round lovely experience!

J. S.

Very good food very good service and staff friendly

A nice pub to call into and have a meal. The menu is what you would expect, being a pub. The at staff are very friendly, having said that, they do leave you alone to enjoy your meal. They don't keep coming up to you asking if everything is okay, which l like. The meal it self was fine, freshly cooked and nicely presented. The pub is clean and fresh. Overall we will definitely be going back.

N. C.

Friendly and lovely garden, perfect for afternoon drink and chat

R. B.

Great food and great service. All the meals were freshly cooked and we felt immediately welcome. Small outdoor play area fenced off from the road so kids were happy. Reasonable prices too. We'll definitely be returning!

M. I.

Excellent food served at lunch. Great sandwiches and baguettes with huge portions. Service very welcoming and friendly.

J. C.

Nice enough pub and rooms. Our double room had a king size bed, plenty of space and a nice bathroom with fab shower. We weren't without challenges, the heating didn't initially work and the first night in the pub they hadn't had their food delivery and it was a comedy of errors. But the friendly evening bar lady Julie and breakfast cook Laura more than made up for it. They were honest, fun, hard working and couldn't do enough for us. All problems resolved. They catered for my gluten free needs with their fab breakfast. Some of the dinner offerings could be improved, but was good basic stuff. If Julie and Laura work there, I'd happily stay again!

t. c.

Lovely meal, very busy. But we were served promptly, didn't have to wait too long for our dinners. Very tasty, definitely will be back!

k. p.

Good food and selection, not bad price, big place with indoor and outdoor seating.

L. P.

Food fabulous and staff fantastic..really good friendly and inviting atmosphere

L. T.

As a lone woman working away, I dislike staying overnight on my own. However, staff made me very welcome, could not do enough for me, very friendly. Room was lovely, slept like a log. They went over and above to cater for my gluten free diet, delicious breakfast prepared for me. Thank you so much.

B. T.

G. E.

Now has a really pleasant ambience with shelf dividers making the large dining room more intimate. We were a table of five women and the waitress was very helpful. The food was piping hot and tasty.

S. G.

Excellent Sunday roast and the staff are never far away. I'll be back

M. W.

Unbelievable good quality food! Highly recommend the curry. It was best pub meal I have ever experienced!

D. A.

S. S.

Our favourite pub. Friendly staff and delicious food. My mother in law says the stag makes best sausage and mash she's ever had. And our Jack Russell, Rosie is always made most welcome.

B. B.

Great place to have a bite.. friendly staff with reasonably priced food

t. m.

We went to this bar pub restaurant had fish and chips the first time around we went again on the second time around it wasn't that pleasant was slightly overcooked and greasy I think they should have changed the oil

V. L.

Very good food. Lovely staff. Thank you so much.

S. G.

Very welcoming landlord and friendly staff, fast service with the very tasty Sunday dinner will certainly return to try more of their menu

l. d.

Excellent service friendly staff and atmosphere, food is amazing and very good value for money and tastes lovely. I had a steak baguette and baileys cheesecake as seen in pics, absolutely beautiful. Lovely views while you eat too, easy to book and plenty of seating for families or couples. They cater for everyone

R. H.

Opening day! Looking good! Food excellent and staff keen, efficient and friendly. Specials are interesting and tasty. Good location for a gastro pub you can rely on. Let's hope this chain of pubs continues to deliver. Could be my favourite ever....

R. 4. L.

So we had an excellent meal, full of flavour. Only 4 star as the time delay (45 minutes) from booking time was too long and heard different excuses from the staff for the delay.

K. B.

Can't say enough good things about the new team and owner stu, you're made to feel extremely welcome from the moment you enter which is something the previous owners certainly lacked, resorting to many locals simply not attending However stu's come in with an amazing attitude and has turned all that around. Not only has stu turned the bad customer service on its head but the food also! Simply put.. great food, great people and once again a great Lil pub. Don't let the reviews of the previous owners shy you away the turnaround the new teams made is exceptional and you will not be disappointed!

C. L.

Had mushroom stroganoff with fries was wonderful and of course 2 pints Guinness staff were very friendly and helpful

k. b.

Lovely people , great food & service .👏👏

L. D.

I enjoyed a wonderful 3 night stay together with a good friend. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful and the location was perfect for our vacation on Isle of Wight. The included breakfast consisted of both cerials, toast and eggs plus juice, milk and coffee or tea. We also enjoyed the Sunday roast (very recommendable) and the afternoon in the pub together with the locals, which really promoted the traditional English pub tradition. I would happily stay here again, and I would recommend couples or singles to stay here. If you plan a vacation to Isle of Wight this is the place to stay!

P. G.

A very nice pub set off the main Cowes - Newport road. Great food and friendly staff always make for a pleasant dining experience. We often visit for breakfast, after a walk alongside the River Medina. The breakfast pancakes are highly recommended.

T. V.

Tasty meal and good service .Thankyou

T. L.

N. P.

Great food, lovely view, friendly service and reasonably priced

L. C.

Very pleasant, a nice macaroni cheese and chicken burger, nothing spectacular and nothing wrong.

I. G.

Really nice decor internally and a nice beer garden. Ample parking. Food is very nice and reasonably priced. There are also rooms available to stay over. Conveniently located on the outskirts of Newport, the county town of the Isle of Wight.

L. i.

To be fair the staff were nice and happy but I can't say the same for the rooms, especially for the £380 for 2 nights they wanted. A refund was given when I expressed my views to the manager as we couldn't stay in the room allocated to us.It was advertised as having newly decorated rooms but I begged to differ. The stairs upto the rooms are narrow and the tread depth is small. Its a shame really as the downstairs pub and restaurant looked lovely. My advice would be to definitely replace the bed pillows. This place for an overnight stay would not be suitable for someone with mobility issues.

M. P.

Great food and friendly staff. Very welcoming

l. M. P.

Probably without exaggeration one of the best breakfasts I have had, Hot, Fresh, Seasoned. Welcoming staff will be returning to try evening menu.
