About This Pub

Ah, The Stag & Hounds – it's one of those pubs that just hits the spot for a laid-back evening out. From what I've gathered from folks' chats online, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone feels welcome, whether you're popping in for a quick beer or settling in for the rugby. The food's a real winner too; those smash burgers from Fattso are bang on, and you can get stuck into steaks or pizzas that don't break the bank – it's all about that good value without skimping on taste. The historic building adds a lovely touch, with great music in the background and a solid drink selection to keep things flowing. On the flip side, it's not all perfect; there have been a few tales of orders getting forgotten, leading to waits that drag on, and one person didn't quite get the refund they were promised, which is a shame in an otherwise solid spot. Still, with most people raving about it, I'd say it's worth a visit – just keep an eye on the time if you're in a rush, and you'll likely have a brilliant time.

We went there for the award winning burger, unfortunately didn’t have a chance to try it. After over half an hour wait I went ask if everything is okay with my order and found out they’ve forgotten about it and started cleaning the kitchen but.. we we’re offered a refund and we only got refunded for the food not even the half a pint and coke. Not much of a compensation. And it was after 9pm so no chance of getting decent food anywhere else around.

Spent the day here watching the rugby, great atmosphere in a fantastic historic building, lovely friendly staff who know how to pull a pint (or several!) and the burgers are so good we had them for lunch and dinner. Also very good value overall - throughly recommend

The atmosphere is so warm and the staff are very welcoming and kind. I came here to have a steak for dinner and it was fantastic, I couldn’t fault a single thing! It’s nice to know there are places like this that still exist today

One of my favourite pubs on Old Market Street, I sometimes come here with friends or my BF. Or just have some beers after work on my way home. There is great choice of beers and ales, the wine choices are good too and plenty choices of spirits. If you are hungry they have some really nice pizzas or burgers. Prices are medium, but it’s worth for the nice chilled atmosphere and very friendly and helpful bar staff. Always been great experience in this pub. The toilets are on first floor and there are more space in first floor if the ground floor is busy. There is also tables outside and if you want to have a smoke and drink you can chill outside at the table and do that.
