The Stag in Wycombe - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lively and friendly atmosphere. Nice view and garden. Open mic on Friday

Really beautiful view from the gardens

We thought we would try for lunch. Good pub food, very friendly and attentive staff. Lovely garden with views. Speciality nights which we will have to try.

Food gone down hill. Hot dogs and fries taste a bit like Wetherspoons food, used to love the food here

Disappointing experience. Very ordinary pub food

We visited the pub yesterday evening (20/06) and found it quite disappointing. Upon arrival we weren't greeted by the bar staff who came across rude and unprofessional. We found ourselves a table and went up to the bar to order food and drinks. This, however, proved quite hard as the bar was left unattended for long periods of time even though there were a number of people standing at the bar waiting to order. The barmaid eventually returned but was more interested in loading the dishwasher and conversating with other customers before serving anyone waiting. When the food finally arrived it was very dry as if it had been left heated in the kitchen for a while prior to serving. We were never given or offered any condiments for our meals. It then took around an hour for them to clear our dirty plates. We were interested in having dessert however we were never offered a dessert menu so we had to approach the bar and ask ourselves. The pub itself is ok but the management could be better and the staff more attentive. The only real pleasant thing in there is the view from the garden.

Cutlery was not sharp, after the starters they took our cutlery and did not replace, food was lukewarm, vegetables were cold, service was slow, The restaurant itself is very tired and run down internally. Will not be coming back in a hurry

Great local pub in Flackwell Heath, has Stunning views and a pool table, darts, friendly staff and well priced beer and food! What more could you want?

You can't fault the place Good food Traditional old pub Friendly locals Good garden for the kids One of the best pub garden views you will find 👌

Popped for a quick Sunday drink, everything was nice and chilled. Lovely view from the children's pay area

We visited early evening, midweek, on a fairly miserable day. The Stag was quiet, understandably. However, the view to the rear of the pub was exceptional, with a covered area to sit outside. The interior was clear and tidy, no sticky tables! The Rebellion IPA was exactly as it should be. I compared by visiting the Rebellion Brewery in Marlow and sampling it at source, more than a few times. I am reliably informed that the Pino Grigio was also very good. The food was freshly cooked and excellent. The triple cooked chips were especially moreish. An enjoyable evening with good food, decent beer, and a nice view. Can't really go wrong here!

Been for lunch today and had the stag burger absolutely delicious. The bar staff are super friendly I will definitely be returning with my family again

The most unpleasant experience I have had in any pub. Parents drinking at the bar with loud voices, children whizzing around the pub on scooters and going in and out of the door to the garden leaving the door open. Dogs running around chasing each other annd even jumping up at our table. I ordered the shredded lamb which was very over cooked (probably out in the microwave with the leather hard wraps which were inedible) and the lamb was cold, uninspiring couscous. Definitely overpriced. The owner/bar lady should have definitely told these people to control children and animals - she has lost our custom

Great food, great staff and possibly the best view of any beer garden within 20 miles

We had lunch here about a month ago The lunch menu was almost laughable Fish finger sandwich yuck 😃 I ordered triple cooked chips because there was hardly anything worth ordering and I figured I'd be safe with chips When I got home I was really unwell I did notice that the chips were so greasy and I wondered how old the oil was that the chips were cooked in I will never go to the stag again after this unpleasant experience The stag has gone downhill

Decided after seeing online this pub had been taken over and had a menu to visit here for mothers day lunch and I am so glad we did the staff could not have been more helpful asking if we needed anything else and how the food was and the food was good we had pork belly bites, soup, a burger and roast dinners all of which were delicious. We will definitely be returning again to try more of the menu!

Friendly, good beer. Just popped in for a quick beer at about 10:20pm.

Great friendly service food great too

Very limited menu especially for lunch and quite a dull menu too. Just plain boring pub food Staff are friendly. Decor and furniture tired old fashioned Could do with a make over The best thing about this pub is the view This pub has a lot of potential if it had a makeover and a better menu

The Stag is poised for a massive face-lift under new management. The food is already very good, but once they refit the kitchen, I expect it will get even better.

Booked Sunday lunch for 4 people. Place was empty when we arrived at mid day. Lovely looking bar and restaurant, a warm welcome received, and our drinks were promptly served. Sunday lunch ordered, 3 Beef and 1 chicken. It went downhill after that.... It took 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. The 3 x sliced beef were sinewy and chewy and the chicken was more like a small chick. Cauliflower cheese and stuffing were at an extra charge (!) and the undercooked cabbage not so much al dente as al dentist! Very disappointing dining experience.

A very limited menu. I chose the pizza which I enjoyed, my wife chose the fish and chips which she didn’t enjoy. The fish was very dry and overcooked. One of our party chose the salmon fillet with salad, she paid £8 for a bowl of green salad and £8 for the salmon fillet, she considered this much too expensive for what she had. It was very cold in the pub. There were 9 of us in our party and we meet once a month we were hoping to use the Stag every month, but we probably won’t after today’s experience.

What a let down... We used to come to this pub many years ago (pre-children) and always had a nice time. The food was good and the place was always busy. However we stopped coming after a bad experience with some truly awful good/service. Now several years on we thought we'd give the place another go as it was a sunny Saturday and we know the beer garden offers shade, stunning views and a play area for the kids. We arrived just after the pub opened and ordered a drink - all good so far. We were told that the normal menu wasn't on as they were having an all day BBQ - not a problem and so we ordered the Cheese Burger & Fries (£11) and Chicken Burger & Fries plus Cod Goujons for our son. What we were served was not good. Firstly, they were having trouble lighting the BBQ but somehow our food still arrived before they got it going... Clearly the food was cooked in the kitchen instead but nothing was said when they served it, nor were we given the option to wait until they lit the BBQ. The food itself was frankly a rip off - the Cheese Burger consisted of a beef party, slice of cheese, bun and some chips. Not a shred of lettuce or tomato or sauce, nothing else. Honestly, I've paid less and had more from a car park burger van! It was the same with the Chicken Burger - chicken, a bun and some chips. I wish we'd taken photos but I got distracted and only remembered when we finished eating. FYI, the photo is off the serving boxes that the food came in (remind you of any car park burger vans...) Unsurprisingly the pub was not very busy which, given the location and views plus the weather that day, was initially surprising but understandable based on our experience. For comparison the Bounty in Bourne End that we had lunch at the week before had a half full beer garden 30 minutes before they opened! Good things to say about the pub were a pretty decent selection of drinks, the previously mentioned views and the kids play area (although that needs some TLC). Sadly though I do not see us going back and suspect that in a few years those views will only be enjoyed from the balconies of the flats that get developed on the land.

Called in on off chance made very welcomed food good

Popped down on several occasions, both recently and most certainly of long ago. Most wonderful views whilst dining. Great to see locals who I once attended my secondary school years with. Very welcoming team who appear very enpointe with ensuring their guests are well catered for. Their kindness extended to hosting my daughters gender reveal most recently as well as hosting their own Stagfest event which I am certain was of HUGE success!! Thank you for going above and beyond and accommodating all needs ❤ keep doing what you do best, you're doing a sterling job x

The best pub food I have had in a long time, really good portions and I couldn't believe the bill,, excellent and affordable for the family !

Great pub, great location with best views around, could do with some slightly better beers

I go here because of the great views across the valley to Marlow - but the service and food is also very good.

This is such a lovely place to visit. I hadn't been for such a long time and decided to take my mum in law there for a coffee and some brunch on Saturday morning. We managed to get one of the tables by the big glass doors so we could look at the view and watch the birds fly across the valley. Such a treat. Oh and the food was lovely too 😁

Great Sunday Lunch, staff went over and above to accommodate my dietary needs making a fab salad with creme fraiche and dill dressing to go with my small haddock. 😋

Popped in for a quick lunch. Is changed a lot over the 45 years I've been going there sometimes up, sometimes down. This time the food was good but the service miserable. No sense of welcome, just going through the motions before sitting the other side of the bar with the boyfriend! I'll give it another year or so (possibly less) and try it again under the next owner.

Popped in for a cold beer, sat outside, the garden is clean with beautiful views. Kiddie friendly, lovely staff. Food looked nice we didnt eat there maybe another time.

Food is always great, fantastic service and amazing views, totally recommend this place

I didn't order anything because I went there for something else but the place was really neat and well taken care of. I bet the food will be nice, when next I visit I will order something.

Nice views and tasty beer. Incompetent service. One person works, the rest hang around. We waited an hour for the food and it turned out that they forgot to send the order to the kitchen

Good views from garden of countryside. Beer Good, didn't try food, food smelt nice cooking

Came for a work lunch. The food was excellent and portion sizes were amazing. Great value. Wonderful service and a fab view out the back. Will definitely return.

Brilliant quick food, roast dinner is very tasty, lovely honey roasted veg, great view threw patio doors and even finished up the lunch with the kids playing in the play area outside, staff were extremely welcoming. They even kept aside our lost baby bottle for us overnight and didn't throw it away, very caring ppl.

Great food and friendly atmosphere

Food was fab. Massive homemade Yorkies. Had roast lamb which was amazing. If you order a side of cauliflower cheese one does 2 people its huge

Really nice roast dinner. Would have given 5 stars but the plates were not warm. Apart from that the service was spot on and we both enjoyed our meals 🙂

Reasonable choice of dishes. Nicely prepared and tasty. Not too pricey. Lovely views over countryside. Friendly staff

Great pub food, worth a try just for the prawn linguine which is amazing!

Me and my mother have had a great mothers day meal here 2023 all food hot and a good selection of drinks 100%

We both had amazing baguettes - well filled and great flavour together with chips, great value and good service.

Made very welcome. Beer nice n roast fab.

Service is amazing, cheap drinks, and outstanding view from their garden.

Go have a one of Chef Charlotte’s tasty Stag Burgers at this truly pubby pub with one of the best views from the dining room of the beautiful rolling Bucks countryside. Good pint of Rebellion here, too!

The best Sunday roast! Great value, generous portion and the team are lovely.

Amazing food, friendly staffs.. absolutely love it! Will definitely come back and visit.. the view at the back is stunning!

Nice enough - gone a bit down hill recently with the patrons they allow in on a Friday and Saturday night. Was much better when they had bouncers. Still the food is good, staff are nice and decent selection on beers. Been going here for about 14 years

Sooo disappointed... 6 for dinner... 2 nearly finished theirs... 1 didn't eat... 3 had a few bites....don't do it. Lesson learned.

We took friends to 'Tuesday Steak Night' at our local pub, the Stag - two ribeye steaks plus two drinks for £35. The steaks were extremely tender and full of flavour; the chips were very tasty too (thank you to the chef, Alfie). Lisa (who served us) was very attentive and made sure we were well looked after. We would highly recommend the Stag for its food, service and for the excellent views over the countryside.

Brilliant pub. Good food and a great decor

Popped in on the off chance they were doing food. Wasn't disappointed, food was reasonable priced, good sized portion and very good quality. Staff are friendly and helpful and show willingness aswell

Little gem! Wonderful views, some sturdy play equipment for the kids. The food was FABULOUS and very reasonable. We shall definitely be back.

Excellent service excellent food great pub

Wonderful fish and chips, a friendly and relaxed place, great service, and clearly popular. Highly recommended!

Place could do with a bit of a spruce up but decent food and staff were friendly and helpful.

A bit too chilly today, even under the canopy outside. Kitchen has definitely changed for the better. The rump steak was a bit too chewy for my liking but the medium cook request was done perfectly and the peppercorn sauce was great. The burger was really good too. The view from the garden of the fields dropping away in to the valley was spectacular as always..

Needs more people. Pay The Stag a visit for such a nice place needs customers.

Grest food the steak and chips were amazing

Decent little pub in Flackwell Heath. Pizza's were good. Portion sizes were good, views were great and the beer was cold. Bit expensive for food but the food was better than that at the Papermill where we were staying.

Popped in with my family two adults and two children. The staff were friendly as always and food was spot on. Would definitely recommend!

Drove passed this pub and saw the beautiful view. Ordered Camembert and sour dough bread, burger and pizza and cannot fault at all. Lovely pub and friendly staff. Great pub great food and fantastic view!

Nice place just need more TLC inside the pub. Lamb and Chicken roast nice.

Propably best view in Buckinghamshire.

Very tasty food, good local beers, lovely view from the garden, good service. Highly recommended

Thanks for allowing us to take over the Stag for a great 50th birthday. Your Staff worked so hard. We came back the next day for a perfect roast. Definitely 5 star roast.

Great kitchen and a lovely beer garden. I went there for bbq with friends and the ribs where amazing. Really well served and with a stunning view to the fields. Will definitely come back

Stunning views from the beer garden. Friendly staff, deliciously cold beer, what's not to like!

Nice public house in this locality

We went last night with friends . WOULD NOT recommend it. The food was NOT GOOD at all. We ordered the sharing meat platter as a starter. It was literally salami and ham out of a packet like the sort you would buy from the supermarket and the roasted veg that came with it was freezing cold straight out of the fridge and unbelievably salty . We did mention this to the lady behind the bar and she did change it for us to another one which was less salty but still salty . I had mackerel pate and my husband had pizza 🍕 both of which were very salty . We mentioned this again to the same lady who said it was a new chef in who was training …… It’s a shame as the pub is in a lovely location for a meal/drink with beautiful views but we wouldn’t go back nor would we recommend if we were asked to

Good beer well priced great view from the beer garden

Popped in for a lunch (Thursday just as they started serving food). Both adults ordered burgers, cajun chicken and the stag burger, also had a children's nuggets, chips and beans. All meals were cooked well and tasted great. Good portion sizes and came out fairly quickly. Prices for both food and drinks are not too overpriced. There's a garden area overlooking countryside which is lovely and a small fenced off play area which I would say is aimed more at slightly older children. Car park out the front with a fair few spaces. Service was great and staff were friendly throughout. Dog bowls placed outside so can assume dog friendly too. Only downfall I'd say is the lack of accessibility for people in wheelchairs. Baby change unit available but only inside the women's toilets not separate.

Friendly staff, good menu, decent food, and an amazing view from the back garden.

Went for lunch. Food was good. Not impressed with the staff or service.

1sr time visited yesterday, unfortunately no cook arable, short menu ,had to order pizza,unfortunately tated like a frozen pizza ,2 pizzas and 2 cokes 28pounds ,hopefully try again one day soon,but not rushing back

Complete mess, boxes everywhere. Did not stay for drink or food.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food good value for money. First lager had a interesting taste, the lady behind the bar changed it without question.

Lovely pub and the views from the beer garden are stunning. Reasonably priced food and friendly service.

Probably the worst food I have ever had and the service to match. Decent location with some nice views of the country side but it doesn't make up for yhe fact that the food and service is appalling. Would never go back to the Stag again

Staff were lovely and a brilliant view. I think I was unlucky in my choice of meal as the lamb kofta was a bit dry. Creme brulee was great though and the rest of my group were happy with their meals.

Sorry to say what a disappointing visit. The poor young lady at the bar was totally overwhelmed by the amount of people and was on her own. The menu on the website is not up to date and is actually very limited. Was told the pub was going to be updated but doesn’t seem so, such a shame!

Great view from the garden if you're lucky with weather, nice food & nice atmosphere. Worth to go to 👍🏻

Not a bad pub, food was actually quite good. The inside of the pub however does feel like it needs more to make it feel cosy.

Fantastic as always! Well done Emma And Alfie for srepping up. Lovely fish and chips and the stag 2.0 Burger was to die for. P

Had sunday lunch there yesterday. The meal was excellent, lovely fresh tasting food, well cooked topped by the biggest Yorkshire pudding in the world 😄. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The pub and outlook are just as advertised. All in all a very pleasant Sunday lunch will done ✔️

Good food freshly cooked and friendly service.

Absolutely the best roast dinner I have had in ages crispy roasties massive yorkie , meat cooked perfectly. The whole meal was amazing

I don't remember the last time a pub served me a properly hot Sunday roast, if ever. Relaxed family setting, friendly staff. Go for it.

Great roast lunch with fresh vegies. Great views over beautiful countryside.

First visit to The Stag, good real ale and food, very pleasant experience I shall be returning

the food was good 👍 and Keira was very helpful and friendly lovely jubbley 👍👍

Fantastic roast dinner, great price, lovely welcoming atmosphere too

Had a roasts and several beers good food and very good service definitely recommend

Lovely and friendly with good food

Lovely roast dinner, probably one of the best pub roasts we've had! Friendly staff to. Hopefully the next time we are in High Wycombe we definitely pay another visit :)

Great little pub in flackwell heath, under new management and the staff were ace, very friendly and welcoming. Missing quite a few options on the menu when we went which was disappointing, but I'm sure it won't always be like that. (Beer there is great too)

Food was very nice. The view from the garden will blow your mind
