Unable to give a review of this restaurant. Even though I booked for 14/12/24 for my 60th birthday via their online reservation service and had confirmation on 5/12/24 from them, they rang on 13/12/24 to say they had only just received the reservation and were fully booked. My daughter rang them to complain and was told they had had 2 big parties of 40 people book for the same time so couldn’t fit us in. They did offer to fit us in at Te Taverners in Godshill but the menu wasn’t suitable for us. I don’t recommend using their online reservation service to make a booking.

We got a late 9pm ferry ⛴️ over and could not contact our camp site to arrange a late arrival. We called the stag and were told without any worries we could pull in and stay over. This really put us at ease. We had a great breakfast 👨🍳🍳in the morning, full English , friendly staff even aloud the dog to join us. Highly recommend 😁

We went for lunch on a week day, pretty quiet. The staff were nice and the restaurant was pleasant. We ordered and didn't have to wait long for our food. The food was just as described on the menu, it was hot, fresh and tasty. My only issue was that the bar had a sign advertising an array of different coca-cola and they actually only had diet coke, but that's a minor detail. I would definitely go again and had a very enjoyable lunch there.

We stayed here for 2 nights for an event at the Stag. The food was beautiful, the breakfast was amazing, beautiful local sausages, all hot and cooked perfectly. Sam Jones the manager was so helpful, friendly and nothing too much trouble. The event was great with the staff again helpful and friendly. Never had to wait at the bar for more than a minute. Highly recommend the Stag, we will be back. Thank you.

Won’t be returning. A shame to say but four on the table all agreed that we would not revisit again. Albeit there were Christmas parties, it was not that busy. Food was ordered. It was asked if just a meal of baby back ribs could be ordered instead of the additional chicken tenders as it was too big (no mention that it would still be charged for the full price). The mains were served. Chips were stone cold, vegetables cold on another plate. The ribs were sent back because the chips and onion rings were stone cold. Everyone else continued with their food and eventually a plate of hot chips and onion rings were served… minus the ribs. I asked where they were and the waitress said I had eaten them all. I said I hadn’t and had only eaten three or four because the rest of the meal was cold. No update was given but 15 mins later a plate of ribs was served but I was told there would be a charge added for the ribs. I said they could have them back if I was being charged. I hadn’t finished the ribs I’d originally ordered and the issue was everything else. Apparently I was ordering an additional rack of ribs as I had finished the others which wasn’t the case. The waitress then asked the rest of the table their feedback of which some of the food was cold on each plate served. After this there were no more visits to our table. I would have liked to order more drinks but we even had to go to the bar for the bill. I didn’t expect to be charged full price for the ribs when the chicken was not part of the meal. I certainly didn’t expect to be charged fully following the cold food and the feedback of this. Maybe a drink or something taken off the bill would have been a suitable option due to the lack of service? It wasn’t handled well and I felt somewhat insulted. I notice that management has changed and Steve could have come over to the table to rectify things.

I ordered Cajun chicken with jacket potato, peas tomato mushrooms and onion rings. The chicken was a tasteless tiny wrinkled piece of meat, it was so tough I had to saw at it with the knife. I gave up in the end and left most of it. The mushrooms were over cooked and shrivelled up. The jacket potato was ok, and the 3 onion rings were the best bit. I told the waitress when she came to get the plates and she just said, I’ll tell the chef. I paid £18.95 for that which I think is outrageous. I won’t be going there again.

After reading the reviews I was expecting a lovely experience but was disappointed. Venue was nice and staff was very pleasant and welcoming but the food was very poor. I had ham, egg and chips, how can you get it wrong, ham was well and processed, chips where frozen, I was expecting home made, and the eggs where cooked and kept hot so rubbery. My partner had chicken strips, frozen, the dip was like mustard in milk, it certainly wasn't a dip, no depth or coating facility. Chips were frozen and it said homemade colslaw, it was cheap bought stuff, not nice. Such a let down!!

Another fantastic stay! Staff are fantastic - pleasant, polite, accommodating, helpful and very very friendly! Food is really, really nice. Breakfasts are absolutely delicious - top quality sausages / bacon, expertly cooked. Great menu with good choice for dinner - all reasonably priced. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable with super-soft pillows - perfect after a busy day! Walkable in to Newport - 30 minutes - or there's a bust stop about 50m away - buses every 10 minutes or so! We will be back!

Planned a surprise meal with mine and my partners family for his birthday, 26 of us in total. The Stag and the staff did amazing, all meals came out perfect, hot and no issues at all. Everyone said how amazing the food was and how organised and helpful the staff were. We did a pre-order as our party was so big, and everything went smoothly. Beautiful place with great food. A special thanks to the staff who served us, especially the two youngest, credit the The Stag. Thank you so much!

Friendly and welcoming reception. I thought I would try the steak pie after trying one at another establishment which disappointed me. Wow it had to be the best home made steak pie I've ever eaten! Soft and tender chunks of meat, And pastry which melted...

We ate here on a Saturday night, and it was great. The staff were very friendly. Although the menu was quite small the quality was excellent and well presented. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and the atmosphere of the Mortal Man

Called today what must have been the busiest day ever. Had to queue for ages but the coffee tea cakes and flapjack perfect. My reason for five stars were for the young lady behind the counter working alone and so hard (others working behind the scenes preparing and serving orders ) but she smiled and was so courteous she deserved a medal. Only downside at 2.30 running out of items such as scones bacon sandwiches etc but maybe they did not expect the number of customers . Well done

Came in to see a friend and left with a warm contented feeling, the place is warm and cozy and very friendly, but spacious enough to not be overbearing. The food is excellent and it has to be the best burger on the island hands down, it’s huge, full of flavour and seriously tasty, highly recommend the village inn

One of the best pub Sunday lunches we've had in several years. The meat was succulent - and if you can't choose beef or port you can have half and half. The potatoes were crunchily roasted with soft interior. The Yorkshire puddings seemed a step above most pub versions being neither greasy nor, like so many places, perfect roundels straight from a freezer. There wasn't much green veg but the kale - normally not something I like - was salty and well prepared. Great with the beautifully prepared red cabbage. Big shared portion of cauliflower cheese included too, and - on request - extra gravy and really tangy horseradish. Frankly not much to criticise here and the desserts were brilliant too. We had heard someone say that the change of ownership a week or so back had caused a drop in standards but it's hard to believe that it was ever much better than this. Highly recommended.
