The Stag in Three Rivers

Great pub with good food, but don’t rely on their online booking form, best to phone (got cancelled at 30 minutes notice for an online booking )

I attended a family get together following an interment locally. The buffet supplied was good and the service prompt.

Very friendly staff and decent sized car park . Highly recommend this pub

Hired back for party, top notch, staff food and setting. Big thank you. Will be back

We arrived for a quick drink and snacks. Great service and good ambiance. Bathroom available and parking. Win / win

We had a family meal here for my grandads 88th birthday. As a large party of over 20 people the service was excellent. Can’t recommend enough for a big group.

Booked my 50th here in May for the end of September. We talked music (my friend playing guitar) , buffet menu and pricing for about 70 people . 3 weeks before I see there is another musician playing. Was told that they never wrote down that I had a friend playing and they weren't going to cancel their performer. The other performer refused to acknowledge we were having a party and wasn't going to change her mellow set to more upbeat. 2 weeks before the party the buffet changed to an extremely fancy non party friendly buffet with a lot of emphasis on plant based hummus and falafel. If I wanted to have party friendly goujons and sausage rolls that would be £6 extra per person. I'll let you do the Maths on about 50 people we had planned to cater for. Was told when I cancelled I could have some balloons but I think the trust has gone there.

Had no problem getting a table reservation on a Sunday and wondered why as nearby rivals were full. The Sunday Roast was good and no complaints. The service was ok but the venue lacked any atmosphere or buzz. This place definitely missing something hence why so many empty tables. Please do yourselves a favour and dispose of the knives and forks. They are so cheap and nasty.

Lovely staff and big piece of fish. Aussie and Kiwi couple highly recommended 👌

The Fly not The Stag Ordered £90 worrh of food and drink.. no San Miguel.. no pepper.. no mayo.. no steak knife.. the kid who served us managed to dig out a steak knife and some garlic mayo.. credit to him.. Normally you get a refund when you have a fly in your soup.. not here.. it's like eating in Africa or the bush tucker trails.. flies everywhere.. we had to run from our table to find another.. a lady who I presume is the manager.. said "they are everywhere".. magic.. I spent most of my time swatting them away while the family try to eat the food before flies landed on it.. Such a crappy experience.. couldn't wait to get out of there.. Will never return..

Sunday Roast lovely and huge portions too. Staff are brilliant as well. Thx

Good value food and friendly staff.

Came here for a double birthday celebration which was mentioned in the booking but not acknowledged with any candles in the desserts or anything at the table (not a major concern just a bit disappointing). The food was nice though and service very friendly. The main downside was our position in the conservatory; there were no blinds or screens so the evening sun was right in the eyes of half the party. Plus it got quite hot so it was not a great end to the meal by the time we finished, the food might have been good, but we were just uncomfortable. One improvement for the food would be the coffee, somebody needs to learn how to correctly foam milk (& get a microfoam)- the latte was not good!

This is a lovely, dog friendly pub for a drink or a meal.

Very friendly and attentive bar staff, food was generally good aside from some overcooked fish, which when we pointed it out, was deducted from the bill (and another meal option offered), so all around very happy.

This one is difficult to report on. The service and atmosphere were really good. The food however was mixed. The cod and chips resulted in the batter being over done (this was reported to the manager). The chicken and mushroom pie when opened was found to have three small cubes of chicken and not a mushroom to be seen anywhere. The steak sandwich special was excellent. The beer and wine were very nice.

Took my Dad and family for Father’s Day, food was absolutely lovely and the atmosphere was great as they had live music on. Will definitely go again.

Roast beef was tough hurt my fingers trying to cut it partner's chicken wasn't too bad but vegetables wasn't cooked properly overall wasn't a good experience for fathers day very disappointed but music was brilliant asked for beer she said she had corona we didn't realise till the end that she gave us alcohol free

Visited here over the weekend and must say, what a lovely little find! Good pub grub with fancy specials (and perfect desserts to finish you off!) Portions sizes for each meal makes you want to roll home! The team were just brilliant, I was greeted instantly and felt very welcome my entire time! They were all friendly and funny - will defo be returning! 🤩🤩

Our local pub for all those "sneaky pints". Pet and family friendly making it a lovely place to just relax and everyone welcome.

A lovely pub doing grate small snack plates .Nice ale and good beer garden

Popped in with kids. Friendly, relaxed and homely. Food was delicious.

Large pub with good selection of beers and wine. Nice garden. Unfortunately the quality of the food has recently gone down.

10/10 we had a superb Sunday roast, a lovely pub with lovely food and staff

From the atmosphere, to the service and staff everything was nothing short of amazing. All the food was absolutelly amazing but the Korean fried chicken burger was the star of the show. The burger was an explosion of flavors and textures. The crispy chicken was coated in a sweet and spicy sauce topped with crunchy slaw and creamy mayo, it was one of the best burgers I had in years. Compliments to everyone. I will definitely be back.

Loved the food here! Since reopening the menu is awesome and great atmosphere and service thank you!

Lovely popular pub with a rather good menu backed up by an extensive specials menu We only stopped for "sandwiches' which were superb, and a meal in themselves, washed down with their own draught IPA. Great service by friendly welcoming staff. A change of management has just been brought in to recover some recent problems. They seem to be doing well.

Went for the mixed roast. Could not tell the difference between the lamb and the beef. Pork is pork not to hard to ruin but they did. Service was lovely and atmosphere was great. I’m pretty sure this meal was a mistake but I definitely would think twice on who is letting food out the kitchen like that.

It was the first time I had been to The Stag. A really friendly welcome from staff and shown to a nice table. The atmosphere was happy and relaxed. Sunday Roast was excellent and staff attentive but not in your face. It was lovely and light. Will definitely be booking another table soon.

Delicious food, efficiently served. A bit too noisy, but it was a busy Friday evening. Overall a great place to eat on the way to the airport!

Not the greatest Sunday roast, would not eat here again. Service was good.

Great food, service fantastic! Well done to the manager!

Haiku review: Crisps and dark beer poured Hounds snacked on dull treats, stayed calm Good stag, good company

14 of us went to The Stag for our christmas lunch. The food was lovely and the service was even better. The decoration and atmosphere was also great. Thanks for a great experience :)

Lovely food, it could've been a bit hotter other than that you couldn't fault it

In general, good food... however the starters are small portions. Moreover, we had a table very laud sat next to us. We had to leave because of this.

Charming little pub in a picturesque town very welcoming and we're happy to help us get our wheelchair bound friend seated

Great pub, friendly atmosphere.

Excellent friendly service. Don't normally do sandwiches at weekend but made me one as I didn't want full meal. It was top quality, tasty food.

I visited the Stag with friends for lunch. Although the owner was very friendly, the service was slow, we had to ask 3 times for a jug of water and there were only 3 tables in use at the time. My dish in particular (seafood linguine) was overpriced, the portion size extremely small and served luke warm. There was no fresh Parmesan available for the pasta but the dust like cheese that comes in a plastic tub. With the rise in the cost of living and eating out being an occasional treat, this experience was very disappointing.

Lovely friendly staff, great selection of homemade food on menu. Thoroughly enjoyed a lovely Saturday curry and burger lunch. Really delicious and tasty 😋 Definitely stop again.

My husband and I had a lovely lunch this week, the ribs sharing plate was huge and amazing. Nice service, definitely one to try.

Lovely pub, great yummy food.. ambience was great and relaxing. Special thanks to svetlaha, kellie.. Thank you

Epic place with such good food and incredible service. Lauren was such a great host. Thanks so much!

Delicious Sunday roast, friendly, prompt service and nice drinks

Lovely pub. Very tasty food and nice veggie roast option (beetroot Wellington). The service really made it though- very kind, accommodating staff.

Excellent pub. food was amazing.

I've been living in the area for 12 years and always fancied popping in. I took the oppertunity this evening and was very disappointed with the food. My wife and kids also agreed. Service was fine and the price was reasonable, However, the food had little to no taste. There was just a complete lack of any seasoning.

It was a quiet midweek visit, but it was still great, friendly service from the staff. Food was good, Guinness was great. What's not to like.

Stopped for a drink post walk. Friendly staff. Well kept beer. Ample parking. What's not to like?

A lovely pint! Super friendly and welcoming bar staff. Was so pleased that dogs are given such a warm welcome.

Could not be faulted except for putting a service charge in the bill. Good service should come as standard. And there for tipped accordingly. Not automatically assumed the service was worthy of a tip. Or do you need to pay your staff more. As the staff were faultless.

Friendly food focussed pub. Large garden at rear and plenty of outdoor seating. Interesting food menu plus a couple of draft MacMullens ales

Visited today with my daughter and father in law… The chicken and bacon salad was excellent and the fish and chips out of this world… so fresh and huge portions at prices that are hard to beat around Chorleywood. My daughters ‘child’s’ meal was also huge with excellent quality sausages. This will be my new ‘go to’ venue for food!!

Hosted a baby shower here this weekend - Ionut and the team were fantastic, couldn’t be more accommodating. Food was delicious and the lovely outdoor space just outside the conservatory made it the ideal setting for a sunny early summer weekend. Thanks so much!

Visited here last Saturday afternoon. The food and staff were great, especially the Waitress who was working really hard. We were going to leave a cash tip but were surprised to see the automatic high service charge on the receipt. Shame really as we wanted to give the tip in cash to make sure the owners do not take a portion from the staff. The service charge on the receipt was a throwback to being in America again.

Lovely meal with family. Food was great and really friendly staff.

We recently had a family lunch. Loved it so much so back today for the roast. Enjoyed by all,, very tasty indeed, Kind friendly service, thanks so much

Fabulous lunch - both dishes were outstanding.

Been a few times and the staff are extremely welcoming and the food is fantastic, never been disappointed. There is lots of choice on the wine list but not so much on the bitter which could be better. Unfortunately my visit last night did feel a little rushed but this will not stop me visiting again.

Lovely food, great service and child and dog friendly! There’s such a lovely atmosphere at this pub. I’ve been coming for years on and off as it’s a good half way point for extended family and friends.

We’ve had several family meals in The Stag over the last few months and have enjoyed every visit. The food is excellent, tasty and cooked to perfection, great atmosphere and a really comfortable atmosphere. The staff and managers are very attentive and make sure that it is a great experience. Will definitely visit again, many thanks.

Not that good.. Food taste must be improved..

Very nice. Good service too. However they weren't too busy midday Sunday. Thanks

Amazing food,amazing staff, definitely go again, family friendly establishments xx

Great food, lovely friendly staff, had a table of 16 all happy, will be returning.

Very disappointed! I chose the roast beef and there was so much hard fat on it that I had to ask for a sharp knife. When the waitress asked how the meal was I politely mentioned that the beef had a lot of fat in it to which she just rolled her eyes. There was no apology. very small portion for a roast, 3 small roast potatoes and a small amount of veg. I never have a pudding as I'm usally to full.... I ordered a cheesecake which came as a small sliver. I left hungry.... over priced and underwhelming.

My husband and I had a lovely lunch today at the Stag in Chorleywood. Haven’t been there for a long time and it was one of the best meals in terms of quality and value for money we’ve had in ages. Starters of chicken wings and prawns about £8 each and mains of chicken burger and steak sandwich about £15 with really generous portions. Pudding was amazing! We also saw them cooking and taste testing some new dishes for the menu which looked delicious (mushroom and nduja pasta dishes, couple of fish dishes - even a lobster and crab lasagne 👀) - just wish I’d of had some room left to try them! If you haven’t been lately then I would highly recommend! When I called to book a table I mentioned we’d have our baby with us and they made sure our table had plenty of space for the pram which was a lovely considerate touch. There was also a lovely log fire burning!

Excellent pint of ale & dogs enjoyed it too !

Lovely Sunday lunch with the family.

Ate at The Stag twice over the Christmas break with family. The food and the service was excellent. I especially loved the chicken, salad, flatbread thingy, and that was brilliant. A great addition to the menu. We will be back…..

My family and I visited the Stag after Christmas. The building is lovely with a great conservatory at the back. The food was very tasty. I wish I had asked what dressing they put on the salad because it was amazing! The guy working that day was on his own and despite this he was cheerful, efficient and helpful. He was run off his feet, poor man, but did a brilliant job. Would definitely visit again and would recommend this to others.

Lovely food, Great Service and wonderful ambience

Nice pub, hopefully they've fixed the heating!! It reaches the point where if you can see your breath in the pub and the heating doesn't work, don't open... Food was OK.

We arrived on a busy Sunday lunchtime, we’ve had our fair share of disappointing pub roasts and this had all the hallmarks of it. A packed bar, only one member of staff…. We couldn’t have been more wrong, Anya was amazing, she’s managed the busy bar, got us seated and served and we had a fabulous roast. We’ll be back.

Good meal for a large booked party. Attentive and careful service. Well done.

Good food good service and friendly staff. 👌

Good food. Good service. Enjoyable experience

Just had the steak and ale pie with seasonal vegetables. The vegetables were French beans.carrots and red cabbage which was the best I’ve had for very long time. I would visit again. My apologies I didn’t take any images, was to engrossed in eating the meal.

We went for Sunday lunch, as part of a party of 20 people. The roast was ok and they did pretty well to get everyone served at about the same time. I would give it 3.5 stars.

Really enjoyed the food and the service was spot on. Nice place

They recently hosted a wake for my family, the food was superb, the service excellent and we found the space for our 60 guests ample, even the weather was good!

Fantastic place we found by accident.. Really good fish and chips today and super 2 for £20 lunch menu. Thoroughly recommend.

Lovely pub, beautiful food and great staff.

Family friendly local pub. Great food and very accommodating staff. Would recommend to anyone who is in the area

Lovely looking pub, only stopped for a cheeky pint, made me want to come back to try the food. Well kept and inviting.

We went for a family meal a week ago, the pub was very friendly and my nutty labrador made sure she got all the fuss she could from the lovely lady that served us. Water was provided without asking for our dog and while we waited ( one of our party stuck on the M25 ) we where looked after and told to take as much time as needed 😀 The food was very good with a fantastic choice for all and everyone really enjoyed the afternoon Would definitely recommend and will be definitely visiting again.

Great family friendly pub, great selection of drinks and dog welcome 🙏

Had a lovely light lunch while waiting for my car to have its MOT test. Pub was very quiet (between 1 and 2pm).

We visited this pub whilst on a long dog walk with friends. Even though we booked, we could easily have got a table as it wasn't busy. The service was very good and the manager was engaging. The food was about average but the roast beef was a bit chewy. Portion size was fine and the prices were ok. We sat outside in the sunshine, which was pleasant, but the garden and picnic benches could do with TLC. If I was in that area again, I'd be OK with eating there again but there are plenty of pubs with better food / better gardens / better interiors.

To be fair, I didn’t have dinner there just two drinks so the stars may be more or less with a meal. However, the pub looks great. The price of the drinks and chips are the same as what you would find in west London.

Many years ago I used to work in the kitchens here. So todays trip back was like a nice walk down memory lane. Not much had changed, friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks. Good parking spaces. Food was always good here. Chilled out atmosphere. Very welcoming to families. I highly recommend visiting the place! The Stag, for me, is what a good country pub should be. Relaxed, friendly, a home away from home.

Had lunch here today with 14 others after a five mile Ramble. The staff were helpful and friendly. The food was excellent. Highly recommend it.

Very pleasant lady behind the bar.

Nice friendly pub. Good food. Dog friendly

Nice pub, friendly staff, good food. I like it here. Hope the tapas menu returns but meanwhile still a good choice.

Nice place and great. Food. Good service

Great staff, however only 1 on a Sunday?! The poor girl was run off her feet! Lots of customers in and somehow they all got server but no time to breath. This is a common occurance too! Food is limited as well so unless you're getting a roast dinner, come another day. 2 stars for ONLY service, the rest are for lack of staff, limited menu and staff being overworked.

Fantastic food and really friendly staff especially Anna who recommended the food we ordered…..can’t wait to return highly recommend it. Thanks.

Lovely quaint destination pub Very good food
