Visited at lunch time on a Saturday (12 October). Party of six friends and we couldn’t choose because the menu was so vast, and it all sounded so delicious. There was also a specials board with a wide range of dishes to choose from. When we finally decided, the food came pretty quickly and the portions were extremely generous. The food we had was outstanding and cooked with love and passion. Serving staff were so polite and checked on us a couple of times. And the prices were extremely reasonable too. Couldn’t fault it. Great pub with wonderful food and staff.

Sat night with friends.The food was fine although the service was rushed.Started at 7.30 and the staff were quickly to the table to remove dishes however at one time they didnt wait until we all had finished our coffee before taking some cups away.Deserts very expensive and once people started to leave it was obvious the didnt want us to relax over coffee but presented us the bill. Wont be using again, the barman did say they where quiet but I found it bad manners.

We booked via telephone and arrived to find our reserved table easy to locate . We had a dog so was seated in the bar. There was a good selection of drinks and food to choose from. The food arrived piping hot and was of good quality and value for money , which in our opinion is very rare to find nowadays. We travelled an hour to Barkston as we were meeting friends , we all totally enjoyed our visit to The Stag and would definitely recommend and return again. The toilets were spotlessly clean and the dog biscuits in the jar on the bar were a lovely touch!

My friend and I called in on spec to have an evening meal, as we had a dog with us we stayed in the bar area and were pleasantly asked to wait for a few minutes until a suitable table became vacant, the food is gorgeous and very generous sized portions, a lovely varied menu too. The service is extremely friendly and efficient. Probably best to book as the restaurant was packed, amazing for a Wednesday evening.

Moved into the area in June and the Stag is my very Local pub. We have had weekday and Sunday dinner here , both were excellent meals. The crowning glory is the steak mushroom and ale pie which on it's own is fantastic, but with melted stilton on top, is another level 11/10 for the food. The stag is an Everards pub with Sunchaser and Tiger regulary available and guest IPA's . Every pint I have had has been top notch. Great to live near a pub the serves good real ales. The Stag is an absolute winner.

Our first visit to this pub was a lovely surprise. It is dog friendly, good menu with specials on a board. Lovely inside and out, great feel to the place. The food was really good and did not have to wait long to get it. Staff very attentive and helpful. I easily give this place 10 out of 10. Well done The Stag.

We were visiting Belton and wanted to book somewhere nice for lunch, this place came up on a Google search and sounded lovely so we booked and wow are we glad we did. Absolutely amazing food, so tasty. I had a pie my partner had fish and chips. Even though we’d eyed up the dessert menu we were regretfully too full. Next time we will leave room for pudding. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

The Stag Inn is a delightful looking pub overlooking the small green in the village of Barkston near Grantham. Internally the pub is clean and tidy with a range of two and four seater tables with New England shades of light blue on the painted table legs in the restaurant area. We didn’t venture into the pub side so can’t vouch for the decor in there. We arrived unannounced just after opening time of 12 and were offered a table with no difficulty. There was a menu of the usual offerings of fish and chips and a range of burgers together with roast salmon, chargrilled pork chop, a leek and cauliflower cheese pot pie, ham egg and chips and a vegetable lasagne amongst others. A specials chalkboard hung on the far wall and the crab and prawn salad with Mediterranean bread sounded so good we both opted for it. That was a mistake as we were to find out. The meals were reasonably quick to arrive and were served up in two large bowls with a dusting of paprika round the edges. What hit me immediately was the large flaccid green lettuce leaf draped over the edge of the bowl, together with a whole half-a-lemon that we each had. A small wedge would be perfect. The bread tasted sweet and was as far from the Mediterranean as it could possibly be apart from the occasional input of sundried tomato. What irked me most though was that the bread was delivered up pre-buttered with what looked like some bright yellow catering spread. A small ramakin of real butter between the two of us would work so much better. When asked if everything was okay I mentioned this and was told that chef would be informed. Having said all that the crab and prawn salad was full of flavour and sat on a nice mixed salad of red peppers, lettuce, red onion and cornichons. A word of advice to the wise….. don’t sit at the table near the restaurant counter as this is where the pub’s phone is located. On at least two occasions the phone was left to ring unanswered by the staff, presumably as they were busy elsewhere (the pub was by no means full) and was right behind my head! The volume of the ringer was high and it would have been a more pleasant experience for us if, firstly, it was answered and, secondly, the volume was turned down. On the plus side the staff were polite and helpful but the food not so great.

We visited here twice this week as we were staying close by; once for Sunday lunch and once for a mid-week evening meal. Both visits were fabulous; the Sunday lunch was hot, tasty and plentiful, with the most amazing cabbage I have ever tasted [yes...cabbage!!] My wife had the beef and I had a more tradition Fish and Chips - which was huge and equally tasty. For our evening meals, we had a couple of the pies - one stilton topped steak and mushroom, and the other a chicken and mushroom, served with a lovely selection of vegetables and fries. Can thoroughly recommend this place - but you will need to book. Sumptuous!

We stopped here for lunch on the way back from a visit to the Ping factory at Gainsborough. The welcome was very friendly and the ambience of the bar is excellent. It was a chilly April day and they had the wood burner lit making it nice and cosy. We had Haddock and chips, and it was really good. The best pub fish and chips we've had for a long time. Good portions and fish well cooked - we could not ask for more. Service was friendly and excellent! The whole menu looked great, especially the specials board. This is a hidden gem a few miles from the A1 and well worth the detour. You won't regret it.

7 people and 7 different dishes. All the dishes apart from one were great and enjoyed. A steak burger was not entirely as described, the brioche bun was a plain white bun and the burger was over cooked and hard, it came with leicester cheese and onion relish neither being very impressive. The meal was returned and a refund given without argument. Overall a great evening with some good food. Worth a visit.

We visited to have lunch and enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The menu is extensive, as well as the Sunday lunch menu with a choice of two roasts, there was a specials board. We shared a starter of prawns and crab with Mediterranean bread, then had the venison bourguignon, the lamb shank and the seafood. There was a large bowl of vegetables and a cabbage side which was delicious. For pudding we had sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate dipped meringue with summer fruit. Excellent food, attentive staff and a lovely lunch. Most people were enjoying the Sunday roast, beef or lamb with the option to have both.

Went to The Stag today, fantastic food, atmosphere and service. The only moan would be there wasn't a working fire in the dining room so it was extremely cold in there even though the radiators were on. We opted to eat in the bar where there was a lovely log fire and great atmosphere. We would definitely recommend to others and go ourselves but would book the bar. I would have given 5/5 stars but for the fact there wasn't a fire in the dining room. It's a lovely village pub.

Presentation of food poor and taste of food poor. I had salmon with lemon and tarragon sauce, it was supposed to come with vegetables and potatoes but I asked for chips. The chips were served on the plate and therefore were smothered in the oily sauce (not nice) and the salmon was not to my expectations. One of our group had the vegetable lasagne. Last time he had this (around Xmas time) he said it was the best veg lasagne he ever had and was really looking forward to this but was disappointed again, nothing like the last time in taste or presentation. His garlic bread was a mere slice of white thin bread with garlic butter on it! Over all very disappointed. I asked if there had been a change in chef and was told the chef (the owner) had been there for 6 years. Well he must have been on holiday at Xmas when we went there and the relief chef was a hell of a lot better. Get him back! We will not be back, we will not recommend and no doubt they will not want us back either.So sorry. Would have loved to have a better experience. I hate to moan and love to promote. Finally, your new menu is no way as good as your previous one. On a positive note, the young lady serving us was excellent. Thank you

Haven't visited for a while so thought a visit was due. The steak was very good, my daughter had the beef burger both excellent. Tiger beer tasted very nice, staff friendly, establishment clean.

I heard someone (also coeliac) say about a year ago that she had been really poorly after having something off the gluten free menu. I gave it a chance, I orders short rib of beef and couldn’t even get a steak knife through it so I sent it back and had the belly pork and twice cooked chips which was also advertised as gluten free. Obviously the chips were not gluten free and have been very poorly since the meal. They also only have one gluten free option on the dessert menu which is fruit and ice cream. Coeliacs, please don’t risk going there it is not worth the upset stomach.

Visited for Sunday lunch for just my wife and I.On first impressions the seating and general atmosphere was fairly congenial and comfortable. The staff were attentive, efficient and polite.The food was a real let down.We ordered a soup and chicken liver pate as starters. The pate portion was huge and good. It could have sufficed as a main course. Ample lightly toasted bread and nice pickle/chutney. Wholy spoiled by copious amounts of sea salt which was on the toast.The soup, broccoli and stilton, was very good but again spoiled by the odd choice of bread that it was served with. The bread was very sweet wit some kind of fruit in it. The chicken curry main that my wife had was far too hot in taste for a lunch and she found it inedible.I had a 'steak and ale ' pie. This in actual fact was a pretty poor meat stew in a bowl surmounted by a cardboard pastry lid. It came served with very soft and floppy chips.For the price, our meal plus a glass of Prosecco at seven pound and two pints of bitter was over fifty pounds, I felt this was a very expensive second rate lunch.We won't be going to this pub again.

We were caravaning near by and was recommended to eat here.Had a lunch meal in the resturant, no reservation just turned up. The ambiance was very nice and the decor and furniture was lovely.The food was fantastic. Plenty on the plate and cooked excellently for me. I had the homemade burger and my wife the salmon. We were both very pleased with our meals, and the staff were extremely warm and friendly which made our dining experience even better.The prices are very reasonable as were the bar prices.Anyway it was so nice that we have just got back from our 2nd lunch meal in 2 days. The roast beef and lamb meals were delicious.If you are in the area you would be mad not to visit the Stag and sample the warm friendly atmosphere and good food at great prices.We will return next time we are in the vicinity...Thanks..

Recently attended a christmas quiz night with a group of friends. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Had the standard xmas quiz with a starter which was very good. The Stag is very busy so booking is essential, I feel the food is reasonably priced.

Staff and food were excellent. The only downfall was that there is no childrens menu. My son is quite fussy so ended up having nothing whilst everybody else was eating. Would definately go again but please bear in mind that for most people, Sundays are for families and there should be a menu to please all.

Food was imaginative, well cooked and presented. We were greeted warmly and our young lady server was very good. Only disappointment was we couldn't make a second visit as they were packed. Booking is necessary

A lovely tradition village pub in the Lincolnshire countryside a short walk from the Travelodge by the A1 at Grantham. A chance to work up an appetite to enjoy the excellent food and local real ale! The pub was busy for a weeknight and the staff were welcoming and friendly. We were quickly shown to our table, drinks were delivered with a smile and our food order taken. The menu has traditional pub food with good vegetarian and gluten free options for many of the dishes. We both chose the steak and ale pie, which came with fresh vegetables and chips but new potatoes or mash were available. The pie was a real pie with the filling cooked with the pastry and there was a tasty soggy bottom and lots of gravy with beautifully tender beef. We ordered the traditional spotty dick and custard. All the food was quickly delivered and piping hot! Had a really lovely evening. Thank you Check out their website for menu details and Facebook!

Worth visiting for the range of beers and the price really. Had Oakhams JHB and Ten Fifty plus London Pride and another I can't recall Supposed to be reintroducing pub grub soon Good old features inside, not made the most of It feels a bit flat and featureless in the main bar as you enter. Comes alive on the usual nights when there's more people in. Just need to rejig the interior to bring it alive more

Great little pub with a friendly atmosphere and lots of selections of beers. We didn't stay for long as we thought they did food, turns out they do not serve food. However they were friendly to point us in the right direction! Would deffo come back for more drinks
