The Stag & Lantern Micropub in Walthamstow

Ah, The Stag & Lantern – what a lovely little find in Highams Park! I've got to say, it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a relaxed pint after a long day. The beers are genuinely excellent; they're all about that real ale and craft scene, with a great variety that's well-kept and reasonably priced, making it a treat for anyone who appreciates a proper brew. The atmosphere is spot on too – it's cosy and welcoming, with staff who make you feel right at home, and it's brilliant for a chat or just unwinding with friends. Plus, being dog-friendly adds a nice touch for us animal lovers. On the flip side, though, the hours are a bit limited, so you might find yourself out of luck on a Monday or needing to wrap up early on Sundays, and the small size means it can get a bit snug when it's busy. Overall, it's a solid choice for a quality pub experience, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in the area – just plan around those opening times to avoid any disappointments!
