Stag and Hounds in South Bucks

Cracking pub, well kept beers. Be careful parking. Got a parking ticket

If here has done food, I have never had it but the place has a fantastic atmosphere and hosts interesting nights of all sorts including Irish music and a quiz.

Quite simply a great village community pub. Great atmosphere. Clean tidy. Friendly staff.

Newish ownership and can see they have a passion for the business, trying new things which is great. Definitely give it a try.

Cleanest pub l have seen in a while. Wonderful pub landlady

Staff always friendly and atmosphere good

It's OK - some real ales - sport on TV - did not eat

Timothy Taylor Landlord and Tribute. Drifters Rugby were in the bar celebrating their victory.

Staff friendly and helpful. Good choice of drinks

Traditional pub. Needs modernising. Some outdoor seating. The pints are good.

Lovely place, great atmosphere. 👍

Had a really nice evening at the pub quiz. Didn't win sadly, but a nice crowd. The half time cheese and biscuits was a nice touch!

This was an interesting lunch stop on our ramble incorporating Burnham Beeches. Unexpectedly found no food available but the pleasant landlord/barman was more than happy for us to eat our own - either brought from home or bought from nearby cafes/shops. I opted for a hot meal from Duran's bistro lounge which suited me fine, and coffee as I didn't think to check if that was available from the bar. We asked about the food situation - as it's advertised outside as being available. Maybe a casualty of COVID but told that it's not currently viable with only a few tables in the bar. Possibly barbecues in the summer - again with people bringing their own food to put on the barbecue.

Not the same since Ella left ❤️❤️

Great music from matt allman on a Thursday night.

Lively, noisy, interesting. Very very little attention paid to covid rules!!!!!!!! Young persons pub but some oldies in there.

Had a great visit today, friendly staff and changed by my end of the barrel beer without question. Cheers guys!!

Friendly staff. Very clean and sanitisers available. Great selection of ales. We will be visiting again soon.

Great food, especially good Sunday roasts, excellent selection of ales and wines, and pub kept very shipshape shape.

Reading other reviews, I’m appalled at how unfair some people can be. If you want fine dining and sparkling ‘restaurant’ service, you can easily find it nearby. But if you want a well delivered pint, or other pub tipple, and possibly fancy some well-prepared pub grub, at very reasonable prices for the area, you’ll be glad you found this place. I walk to it from my home by Burnham Beeches, but it’s also very convenient for anyone using the A355 – plenty of parking. The new management have improved the place considerably. It no longer smells of dogs, though you’re still welcome to bring one. In summary, an unpretentious, friendly little place that is an asset within our community.

The interior of the pub itself is well decorated and cosy. The drinks however are not the freshest and aren't poured well.

Excellent food, lovely pub, great staff

New manager, good grub, nice beer. Total change. Go!

I've enjoyed my visit, highly recommend

Very cosy and warm , loved the ambience 👌

Great pub, nice food. Recently refurbed

Lovely breakfast, good service and soo cosy!

Went in on the back of a Run, lovely pub, really nice food

Good selection of ales and spirits. Good atmosphere

We came here with our family for a drink after a long dog walk. We were very excited to have a well deserved drink. However, the blonde girl behind the bar who I feel, on observation, may be with the landlord, was very rude and completely blank faced with the entire service. It was very rude and never in my years have I experienced such poor service. Shame for the pub.

Great food, great crowd, great football on TV 🙂

Very friendly place and if your lucky you can see the pub dogs which are a treat. Staff are very friendly and good locals

perfect position for sport's and great food.

Very friendly pub with a nice atmosphere run by a young couple who know how to treat their customers. Second visit and it will not be my last.

Came in at 11.15, opening hours state open till 12, barmaid states last orders were taken at 11. An hour before closing time with people with full pints? Disappointing customer service.

Cosy, traditional pub with comfy furniture!

A boards still out and no sign on the door..but shut, word is no beer till friday..locals turning up to walk back home again...due to a cellar refit? Communication?

Great atmosphere, nice and chilled. In a good area

We ate here and that was a big mistake. We eat out about 3-4 times a week, and this was the worst meal I've had in 2-3 years. Yes, that bad. Cheap chicken and sausages (tasted metallic and obviously frozen value sausages, chicken tenders from the freezer also) that I would not feed to my dog. The bill came to £30. Why?? Disgraceful. I really think something must have happened here recently, because this really is not what I would expect from a decent Greene king pub. I feel aggrieved at having paid for this tripe. Good choice of beers, so if that's your thing, it might be Ok, but for food, suggest Dixy Fried chicken, Favorite Chicken or any other failed KFC franchise might be better-disgraceful.

Great atmosphere, somthing hard to find in pubs now days.

What a great time had by all! Such a choice of beers, cider and especially the gin selection made for a perfect night. The staff were very friendly and made us feel really welcome. Will be back for more soon!

Good atmosphere and drinks at decent price

Me and my partner decided to drive from london to try the ribs after looking at the website menu . I tried to call the pub before a few times with no success in order to reserve a table . We decided to go anyway , when we got there we were told there's no food today. There was no apology or reason given for this . Very disappointed after we drove for 45 mins to get there and looking forward to have dinner .

Excellent food and atmosphere . Also very good for sport

Excellent pub. Keeps the traditional feel going. Excellent choice of beers, reasonably priced. The place to go in Farnham Common for beer lovers!!

We had the a portion of the hot sauce wings, which were nice cooked and spicy. We ordered a small portion that turned out to be huge haha. Loved it though. Then we ordered a burger each, again nicely cooked and tasted lovely. Biggest Burgers this side of town for sure. Really attentive staff, well looked after. Nice easy eat place. Good selection of drinks too. Enjoyed it

Where do I start! Emma the bar girl is an emma! Emma is also my favourite word, I named my hamster after her. I love beer. Thnx bye Love Anjew

Excellent inventive menu. Fun quiz. Friendly atmosphere. A proper village style pub.

Great pub, food, staff and atmosphere all great, good time had by all

Stag and hounds is a beautiful pub with a variety of beers and ales, the food is amazing and the staff are friendly and helpful

My friend and I visited last Friday, Nice pub with friendly staff and locals. We will be back for a few wines soon!!

Really friendly and comfy pub. Catching the last of the summer rays in it's great beer garden with funky furniture. Good food too washed down with a nice tribute ale. Thumbs up from me

This pub has a great burger menu. I tried the buttermilk chicken and it was delicious! Good range of drinks, friendly staff and dog friendly! We will be back!

Great atmosphere and a friendly welcome

A brilliant atmosphere awesome hog roast on a beautiful bank holiday Sunday.xx

Sono stata in questo locale più volte e mi sono sempre trovata bene. Il personale è molto gentile, il locale molto bello ed è fornito di una bell area all aperto perfetta per l'estate.

Stunning staff,food not so much but ambience fantastic

Friendly bar staff, exceptional food and a cozy atmosphere make this the perfect place to to wile away a few hours. Fantastic selection of ales, ciders and spirits with knowledgeable staff. Food is portioned well and incredibly tasty at a fair price. This pub is the perfect stop if you're visiting/in Farnham common

Very good selection of real ales (10)also 4 lagers and a range of ciders. Plus 10 different Gins and several different vodkas and whisky. It is now my home from home.

Really nice staff and such a beautiful place to relax and drink a beer or eat some food 👍🏻 parking available

The pub itself is great, and a new beer garden out back is a nice idea. However, on so many occasions 'the regulars' take over the bar area, and makes everyone feel very unwelcome. A shame. Yes, they bring in money, but the place would...

Great selection of drinks, food and great friendly service. Perfect.

Excelente pub, recientemente renovado a un estándar muy alto. Buena selección de cervezas y licores, incluso tienen un dispensador de bombas jaeger! Un personal amable que le asegurará una verdaderamente agradable. También hay un jardín cerrado en la parte trasera con cómodos asientos y mesas donde periódicamente es disfrutado por todos un hog asado. Disfruté de mis visitas y recomiendo este pub por su comida y hospitalidad de beber.

We run (hash) ever Tuesday evening come rain or shine from a pubs within a 10-mile radius of High Wycombe, then all meet back at the pub we set off from for drinks, chips, and chat. All the pubs are assessed on 4 categories, (each marked out of 10 points), which we then rank during the year on our website. SummaryA cosy real-ale haven - any pub which has its own ‘Beer Bat’ to assist with tasting a wider variety of ales has my vote straight off! If they could sort out their non-beer offerings, this pub could be a contender for ‘Pub of the Year’, but if you only drink beer, you won’t really care will you?Beer 9/10Chiltern 300 at £3.60 was pronounced ‘fantastic’ by most of the assembled hash, apart from Hawkeye who harped on about ‘the almost complete absence of bacteria’; i.e. ‘fantastic’ in Hawkeye-language. There were plenty of other ales on (I can’t recall all the names since I wasn’t drinking last night - the curse of a dry-ish January) ranging from the mass-produced Old Speckled Hen to the more individual Christmas ales - let’s hope they don’t get taken down on the 12th night as well! On a different note, I spied Matt R carrying in 3 beers in a special wooden holder, but didn’t think anything of it at the time - it was only when I checked later, I discovered this was a ‘Beer Bat’, comprising three 1/3rd pint glasses to allow a decent sample of each ale…almost worth a point in it’s own right there!Non-beer 5/10Disappointing here. Pretty averagely priced with STD’s at £1.20 and Coke at £2.50but this was one of the most un-limeyist (or most-sodaish) pints I’ve had this year. And no, it wasn’t just me and it wasn’t because I was in a bad mood ‘cos I wasn’t drinking - my STD cohorts agreed to a man (and a woman) with me, that this didn’t deserve to be called an STD….on the account of there being no ’T’ = tang.Food 8/10Very pleasant - 7 bijou mini-frying baskets of chips were produced and demolished in short order…..’short’ being the appropriate word as they’d done most of the demolishing before the ‘longs’ entered the fray - shame Mike didn’t divert to that petrol station this time round! Queen Jess (she of the ‘they charged me for soda!’ outrage) was disgruntled at the lack of condiments, anticipating some bijou mayo to appear along with her bijou chips, but the rest of the hash pronounced them ‘very good indeed’. Any hashers left without a chip on their shoulder were suitably mollified by Roger’s leftover Xmas cake biscuits, although there was no pannatone on offer, much to Andy’s chagrin. Queen Jess had obviously polished off the lot. Hashmosphere 9/10We ha-nnexed (a new hash word in the offing there?) a section of the pub, set up camp there, and drove any of the locals back to the bar, whereupon they met the advance hash raiding party clustered round the beer pumps. So, ’twas a lively gathering, complete with live strip show, as Hawkeye (dressed as one of the Village People) proceeded to drop his shorts to show us his wares. Sorry, that should have read ‘wear & tears’; i.e. a whopping great bruise caused by falling off his bike. A very pleasant hashmosphere indeed, with comfy couches and everybody all together in 1 room - quite limited parking in the car park though, and a busy through road, although plenty of side roads available (fairly) nearby

Had a great evening, served by Laura who made us feel welcome and created a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely return

Superb all round staff,ale and food,what more could you want?

Excellent atmosphere in this local community pub. I visited as I wanted to watch some football, have a great selection of ales and enjoy some good food, I was not disappointed. Whatever the occasion, get down the stag and have a great time. Kat the bar manager is always there to greet you with a smile. An all round fantastic pub.

Great pub to watch the rugby. Good beers and nicely furbed.

Always good service, good food and good selection of drinks! Shows sports and always has a good atmosphere!

piccolo pub ingl. moderno. tranquillo con back garden interessante

The service and staff are pleasant and knowledgable about local ales.The quality of the food was excellent.I would highly recommend this to anyone who finds themselves in Farnham Common.

I had a spontaneous visit to Stag and Hounds and was greeted by a great atmosphere, wonderful customer service and lots of friendly community faces. I had a few drinks and was very impressed with the quality of both the drinks and the service. Nice hooks under the bar for hanging of coats or jackets. Nice seating area, large tv screens, and much needed garden area as it gets quite hot inside (probably a summer thing). Will definitely visit again and perhaps join in on a quiz sometime. Highly recommend it.

We stopped for Lunch and it was awful We also tried it couple of weeks later for Dinner and all I can say is stay away from the Sea Food Platter

Matt and the team never fail, we always have a lovely time!! Wether it's the quiz or just a drink or even a meal for 16 they can do it!! Food is lovely and fresh and home cooked... And a great choice of drinks too!!! Well done Matt and the team your amazing especially Kat Lucy and Jo :) always a pleasure!!!

This pub has improved vastly over the last 3/4 years, always full of locals early doors, which does create a nice atmosphere, but it does have an identity crisis. The décor is quite oppressive, could have been cosy but for some reason isn't, probably the dark painted ceiling and the layout of the premises. I have eaten here, but it can become quite noisy, so usually just keep it to a drink with friends at early doors and then go elsewhere to eat. Staff are very friendly and hopefully the success of the pub will grow.

Great pub, great atmosphere. Crazy busy but you'll understand why. Appeals to all ages. Every beverage available to suit anyone. Lovely outside areas. Chef is extremely experienced and the menu will suit all tastes (always ask if something you fancy... Can only say no). Can't rate this place enough.

Stopped of to have lunch for first time, will not be a second. My Husband & I just wanted a sandwich no sandwich menue I was told they do not have much call for sandwiches. The barman just read menue of the computer screen we should have left then. There where no normal sandwiches to be had. When our meal can it was tasty with French fries I would not have had fries if I had seen then on the menue. Service was slow as we where the only people having food On paying there was no bill to see how much the sandwiches where or drinksExpencive I must say. On saying that the barman was very pleasant & the friendly dog.

My partner Frank and I visited the Stag & Hounds last night for a meal for the first time. Frank had the Sirloin Steak and I had the Steak & Ale pie. Frank's steak was thick, big and cooked to perfection, the chips and accompanying veg were extremely good too. My Steak & Ale pie was freshly cooked, the steak was extremely lean and tender, and all the veg (mashed potato, creamed swede and red cabbage) were all very tasty as well. The prices were £16 for the steak meal and £12 for mine, which I thought was extremely good value for the quality of food we received. The Manager was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and his bar staff were very attentive. I would thoroughly recommend the Stag & Hounds to all my friends and family for a great place to eat. We'll be back!

Four of us booked for a Saturday night dinner. The pub was packed with noisy blokes, we had to ask for the loud music to be turned down as we couldn't hear ourselves speaking. The service was slow but the food was very good when it eventually arrived.Afterwards we wanted a coffee but were told the machine was broken and when we paid the bill with credit card, there was no receipt available, so had to go back the next day to get one. The waitress, who looked about 14 with a ring through her nose, was definitely not deserving of a tip as she seemed to know nothing. Bottom line - don't go here on a Saturday night if you want a quiet dinner.

I've been here quite a few times now and myself and my family love it. The roasts are worth going for alone! Great value for money and I can't stress enough how gorgeous the Sunday roasts are. It's a dog friendly pub and the service is great. Very relaxed atmosphere and its decor has recently been updated with a new seating area outside at the front of the pub. I'll be returning soon!

El ambiente es de típica taberna británica (y el olor también... a cerveza y más cerveza). Pero es ideal para pasar un rato agradable con amigos o tomarte una hamburguesa mientras disfrutas de una pinta. La decoración está muy bien.

Nice spot for lunch and a pint. Very traditional looking pub with friendly service and good food. Good selection of casks on offer for beer drinkers.

Good food and atmosphere. Ales weren't as good as I hoped but that may have been the selection rather than how they were kept. Staff friendly and dogs welcomed which is always a plus in my book.

Had some lovely pickers and sharers here together with a couple of pints. A good range of real ale beers and friendly staff. Loved the pickers and sharers and the fabulous quality of ingredients.

Only been for a drink before going for a meal elsewhere, other public houses in Farnham Common compete better with drink prices, don't understand why Stag and Hounds charge so much for drinks, 35% dearer in some drinks ordered

As the nearby 'fancy 4* hotel' I'm staying in is such a let down, I decided to look for somewhere else to have lunch. By chance, I came across the Stag and Hounds and thought it looked good. I was not dissapointed!They had a large selection of real ales on tap. I had a very delicious pint of proper beer to wash down a superb and very tasty burger. Such a contrast to the 'award winning restaurant' I ate in last night, the Stag and Hounds is far superior in terms of quality. As for quantity, well I felt the need to apologise for what I left behind, as I just couldnt finish it. As well as being a very high quality burger, the chips were delicious and crunchy, and the onion ring 'mountain' I had as a side rivalled my onion ring experiences in the US, as it was so big! Presentation was superb, served on slate, and overall far exceeded my expectations when I walked in. I expected standard pub fare, and whilst that was what it was in terms of style, it was of the very highest standard, far exceeding that of my fancy hotel. It was also considerably cheaper too!The girl serving behing the bar was extremely friendly and made me feel most welcome.Should I be in the area again, I would most definitely visit for another meal and the opportunity to sample some more of their very fine ales.

We made a booking for a sunny Sunday lunch only on the Saturday evening but when we turned up on the Sunday at 12:30 as booked the chef wasnt there and no-one seemed to know where he was.The place was very empty for Sunday lunch time so clearly it isnt a big thing here. We went 100m down the road to the Forresters where we had an excellent lunch

It was such a shame that the menu was so limited, offering little choice on either the lunch time or evening menus (and no "Specials") and that we had to wait SO long for our food to arrive. The shame mainly being that the quality of the food, when it arrived, was good and the presentation was excellent. However after nearly three quarters of an hour wait for the main course and even longer again for the desserts,( which were nearly all chilled, no cooking required, just arrangement of ingredients on the plate!) we were past caring what it looked like.The place was virtually empty for the duration of our time there so no excuses for being busy. In fact no excuses whatsoever were offered for being kept waiting for so long.

We popped into the Stag & Hounds on Sunday evening for some food. We just made last orders for the food, but the barman made every effort to accommodate us. Our meals were very well presented and very well prepared with decent ingredients. We'll most certainly visit again

This pub is a real find. 10 beers on tap with the option to have 3x1/3 pints to give you the chance to taste a few. Beer was very well kept. Excellent pub grub. My mother's fish platter was astounding. Very good value too. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. Car park at rear of pub. Wheelchair accessible for my Mum too. We will definitely be back.

A good addition to the pubs in the Farnhams and we hope it continues to do well - and last year the baskets and planters looked great but now....why not take them down if you are not going to look after them.

Food was very good and great range of beers. Young lad and young girl behind the bar were very friendly and efficient. Enjoyable evening.

The atmosphere of the pub is great, the food however is really good. Because it is quite busy there is a high turnover of customers so the food is usually fresh when put out and does not sit around for ages keeping warm.

Food and beers OK at best, but £4 for a cup and a half of tea is outrageous! The prices aren't openly displayed, but at thirty pence more than a pint of their very expensive guest beers this has got to be the most costly tea ever!

The range of beers (and particularly Ciders) was the most surprising feature, particularly as i like the funky ones! Great food, quickly served and reasonably priced. Very happy, just wish i could get there more often! As an aside, not as popular as adjacent F+resters Arms but do not understand why!!

This is a friendly pub, serving pub grub and nothing fancy. It is definitely more of a man's pub with sports screens and real ale but it is a friendly atmosphere and the prices are ok.The food was good as in most pubs.

Excellent venue to watch the Lions tour!

The whole experience of the Stag and Hounds was truly great.The Landlord is a wonderful host,the staff are very welcoming and professional.The food was great and quirkily,served on wooden planks or as they like to say-Platters.The pub has a good homely feel and the locals are very friendly.If there is a beer on tap which you are unsure about,just ask a local and get good honest advice.The range is as good as you would expect in any free house and I look forward to my next visit.
