The Stag in Uttlesford

Our first meal @ the Stag Inn, and it won’t be our last. We had a lovely Sunday roast. Beef roast was very nice and the kids had chicken bites and chips. Really lovely welcome on arrival and a friendly service throughout. 5 star food and service! Thank you so much Ian & Dawn. Cara&Gary Nevill and gang x

Booked on the fly, and very glad that we did. Great food, with prompt friendly service and large portions. Home made rhubarb crumble to top it all off. Will definitely be back.

We visited the stag on a rainy Sunday afternoon seeking warmth, comfort food, peace, and a full tummy!!! We got ALL. Thoroughly enjoyed this gem of a pub, nestled in the countryside. The friendliest of landlords was so welcoming, the Sunday Roast was DELICIOUS and piping hot. The homemade rhubarb crumble was to die for . Service excellent. Thank you The Stag , for a wonderful Sunday

Went there for a drink and found it charming and welcoming. So we booked Sunday lunch for the next day. The food was exceptional and the most friendliest staff we have encountered in a long time.

Taken my client who I care for two days in a row now to the stag, absolutely outstanding service, support, and hospitality, the food is amazing and the environment is lovely, would highly! Recommend

Three off us went today for lunch What a lovely time we had We all had the cheese and meat ploughman's. There's was so much off it, offered more bread which was really appreciated Spoke with the owners who were so welcoming and friendly Would definitely recommend this pub

Having over many years seen this pub morph, under quite a few different landlords, from a simple but happy and thriving village drinking and card and darts playing local pit-stop into its' present outwardly and inwardly ship-shape condition, we decided to take another trip down memory lane and give it another go to see what was on offer. Initially, it was a great relief to note an alternative to the also on draft Greene Kings' dreaded IPA, otherwise our visit might have been cut prematurely short! The pint of Timothy Taylor's did not disappoint. Reception was very friendly and a nice atmosphere prevailed inside and out of the very smartly refurbed establishment. It is perhaps not fair to over-criticise the limited catering and accompanying service offered at this stage, as one hopes that both will develop over the coming weeks and months. After all, the pub now has very adequate parking and outside seating facilities and it would be a shame not to try to exploit them, especially as there is some very serious competition not much more than a stones' throw away from this very pleasant spot.

We stayed in the campsite at the Stag to meet friends for dinner who live locally. We were made to feel so welcome throughout our stay, by the landlord and regulars. Dinner with our friends was very tasty, especially the home-made desserts. All in all, this is a lovely, friendly pub, and its campsite was a convenient extra for us.

I came with friends for evening drinks - we had a GREAT time. The staff and owner were so friendly and helpful. We really did enjoy meeting and chatting with new people. The decor is good and clean. We will come back and try and restaurant soon.

We wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the only pub within walking distance of our accommodation was having a pizza night. Neither of us are great pizza lovers but we gave it a go! What a great pizza it was! Didn’t see a menu. The chef came out and asked what we wanted and prepared each pizza from scratch. I chose a bbq chicken and my husband had a meat feast with exactly the requested level of spice. Pizzas arrived quickly and were piping hot and absolutely delicious! We both agreed that it was the best pizzas we had eaten! At £10 each they were excellent value! Great little pub in this really interesting Essex village. Well worth a visit!

We went as a party of 6 last Sunday for Sunday roast and it was a really good meal, plenty of food. Left there really full, will go again if in the area.

Popped in for drink and Thursday homemade pizza with group from local cricket club. Food was excellent and staff very friendly. Great spot

Ordered 2 pizzas to take out, Texas meat feast, and a Hawaiian, absolutely wonderful, the other half nearly lost out as i wanted to tuck in to them in the car on the way home, the smell was wonderful and mouth watering , totally covid safe had a pick up time for 18:15, came in to the bar area and was greeted by the landlord 5 minutes later literally i was driving back, ample area to park the car and pick up, both of us have said we would like to try a Sunday roast, beats the time of cooking and washing up !! overall well worth the takeaway pizza

I love this place. The food is wonderful. It has a calming atmosphere, the people are friendly and it’s a great place to chill out ❤️

This pub offers amazing atmosphere which compliments the location... Amy who works behind the bar is an asset to the business and beyond what expected... would recommend to anyone fancying a quiet pint or lively drink, or if you choose to dine here you will be amazed by the quality and standard of food produced.

Had a great lunch, food, service and drink were superb, a special thank you to the landlord Glen who made us feel very welcome

Our family popped in for a Sunday lunch... we were bitterly disappointed. On entering one couldn't help but notice an old peoples home smell... kust awful. The decor is dated. Food...The red cabbage tasted of vinegar, the cauliflower cheese looked and tasted like it had a melted Kraft sandwich slice on it (we asked and were told that it was Red Leicester which we can't prove one way or another but it tasted artificial), the veggie nut roast tasted like a bad frozen option,... the gravy was decent however. The staff seemed pleasant enough. We will not be returning which is a shame as we are so local.

Had a amazing time here stayed over the Easter bank Holliday and was very welcomed lovely views and walks very peaceful would definitely recommend and return.Had a lovely Sunday roast staff was very pleasant great little pub lovely food.Thank you so much for our lovely break away. Jess

You know how it is, it’s 2:30 in the afternoon, it’s a warm sunny autumn Sunday afternoon and the pubs open. So you pop in for a quick one. The staff are friendly and so are the locals. But there is a problem... the food smells wonderful. You try to put off an impulse purchase by asking if they take cards! They do, “you don’t have space for two more in your restaurant?” They do... and that’s how it starts.. food, service and price all fabulous. Well done - we will be back.

Do NOT miss out on going to The Stag if your in or Around Dunmow. Glen, Carolyn, and Abbi make you feel right at home from the second you walk through the door. If your real nice Abbi might even get up and sing you a song while Glen kills the keyboard. Tasty food, cold beers and cider (we recommend the “snake bite”) My mate and I have had the pleasure of living down the road for the past month and stopped by several times during our stay. Great for all gatherings, bring the family, brings the kids, or just go for casual drink and game of pool with the guys. The stag will forever have a near and dear place in our hearts. Thank you for the all good times.-Breath easy my friends, C&C

Used for a business meeting. Cosy pub who made us feel welcome. Good food and plenty of it. Clean and elegant facilities.

Was looking for a nice little county pub and came across The Stag. Was a Friday, early afternoon so the pub was quiet. Lovely little pub and very friendly staff. The food was delicious and there was a good range on the menu and specials. Added bonus of a pool table! Will definitely be returning here.

Really nice pub. The food is very good, particularly their Sunday roast. Great amostphere and the staff are very accommodating. One of our favourites

3 of us had lunch. We received a friendly welcome, and attentive service. A great variety on the menu ranging from standard pub food to specials. Desserts were fantastic. We couldn’t fault the location, quality of service and of the food itself. A first visit and a good find. Will definitely return.

Took my elderly parents for early dinner, wonderful staff took time to really look after us Very friendly, great food, good selection to choose from Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, promise to return to try their recommended Sunday roast :)

Desde la última vez allí, ha cambiado. El bar público ahora tiene mesas.

We were driving around looking for somewhere to have a nice Birthday Lunch and came across The Stag, it looked lovely and welcoming so thought we would give it a try, so glad we did, the food was absolutely lovely, good portion sizes and very reasonably priced, lovely views from the beer garden at the back of the pub, very relaxing, the staff were lovely, very friendly and chatty. It was our first visit to The Stag but it wont be the last.

We stayed at the stag in little easton for the weekend at their small campsite behind the pub with lovely views and we had a great time the landlord and landlady could not be more welcoming and we had a very nice Sunday lunch which was value for money its a nice friendly pub and we shall be returning very soon

just fantastic good service , welcoming and accommodating to both us and our dog , the meal was hot and cooked to perfection and very reasonably priced well worth a visit

Porque éramos un grupo que nos reservamos, aparecimos en la hora acordada de 12. 00. Nadie tomó nuestra orden de hasta 1. 20. En 1. 40 nos dijeron que nuestra elección había acabado.

El domingo visitamos dos almuerzos recientemente, gran asado, buen servicio y ambiente agradable sin duda volveremos como verdaderamente gran relación calidad-precio también.

recently moved to the area. Eaten in the pub 5/6 times now and every time it has been excellent. Good service with a smile and very well priced . Every month there is good live music/quiz nights and now the sun is starting to shine you can sit in the big well kept garden and enjoy a pint with a view . Cant recommend this pub enough for any occasion!

The stag in little Easton is so welcoming. Fire was alight and so snuggly for the family. Food was great and deserts were amazing. Would come back any day of the week.

Family run pub as you walk in you feel at home and so comfortable. Food is fantastic and staff is are so friendly and efficient with a smile on there face. Would highly recommend this pub.

Popped in as was highly recommended by a family member. Without a doubt highly recommend to anyone, food was amazing the burger was the best I had had in a long time I'd say it was home made!!Carolyn, Glen and staff was friendly and very welcoming I felt very at home here! Will definitely be returning without a doubt look forward to returning in the near future many thanks

We have been to this pub now twice for Sunday Lunch. The first visit was on the off chance they could fit us in at the end of the day - and we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was - so thought we would definitely return....The second time (yesterday) we booked for an early lunch - Couldn't have been more disappointed. The vegetables were just not enough for 2 people - there wasn't even a whole carrot as it was sliced thinly, same with the parsnip and I would have been embarrassed to give out the cabbage as there couldn't have been 1 leaf between us! Overall, do not think we had a good meal at all.

I'm lucky to live in Little Easton so it makes for a nice walk followed by a good lunch ( or dinner).The staff are very friendly and the food is of a high standard. I went there during a family visit, which worked really well, everyone enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere was relaxed, yet efficient. Will be going again definitely.

Great food ,great service followed by a brilliant band. Atmosphere was amazing and the landlady and landlord were professional,fun and really welcoming. We will be back very soon and would recommend this to anyone wanting a around fab night out or a bite to eat in a lovely setting.

WE PACKED OUR TENTS IN CARAVAN AND OFF WE WENT AND ENDED UP IN THE GROUNDS OF THE STAG IN GREAT DUNMOW LOVELY AND CLEAN GROUNDS HOSPITALITY BEST WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED THEN WENT TO THE STAG TO EAT REMEMBER THERE WAS 8 OF US AND TO LARGE DOGS WE WERE GREETED WITH OPEN ARMS EVEN THOUGH PLACE WAS PACKED WITH BIKERS AND LOCALS THE FOOD WAS FIRST CLASS FOR US ALL NICE HOT QUICK SERVICE In the evening they had entertainment we all went back kids played in grounds after we ate again lovely evening meal, singer and organist really set the pub rocking it was great we left about 1am lovely evening to have a stroll .We meet lots of lovely people and made great friends it was sad to leave Monday evening but we cant wait to go again highly recommend it to campers visitors we wish it was our local it really has got the whole works

The place was so busy I thought we would have trouble getting served but oh no, it was just great.We sat in the back garden and the staff could not have been more helpful. They set a table and ran back and forth attending to all our needs. Would recommend the Stag to everyone.

Tehe pub has recently changed hands. It has been cleaned up.Painted etc.A good friendly welcome. The special board is basically a cafe type food. The menuis very limited. Very little choice. The service is good.

What a super venue. we needed to find a restaurant that was open on a Monday night and that could accommodate us arriving by helicopter. We rang the Landlord to find he "Glen" was very enthusiastic and informative. We landed some 30 mins later and whilst the kids piled out Glen met us at the helipad and escorted us in. The reception was warm and the wine cold. Whilst the menu was a little limited the food was cooked to perfection and the steak beautifully tender. Chef (Tina) later popped out to check all was well and our waiter (Tom) very attentive. after we were once more escorted back to the Helicopter. All in all we had a very lovely evening. good food, great service and a very warm welcome. we will be returning very soon. well done The Stag !!!

Having never been here before, even though it is close to me what I found was lovely. The food is honest and unassuming and extremely good value as are the drinks. The landlord is great and nothing is to much trouble. The Ham Egg and chips at £8.95 although simple is fantastic. For those dining on a budget it is great a Rib Eye Steak for £14.95. Going back this evening nice mid-week treat. They are doing a lot of improvements in a very tasteful manner. This is not a flash bistro pub just good honest grub. Great for walkers as well.

I went here for lunch after I found out that the chef (Tina ) from one of my favourite bar's in Dunmow move here . I decided to have the Sunday Lunch and I have a new favourite restaurant I was greeted with a very warm welcome nothing was to much trouble like on the previous place Beautifully presented food and of course very Delicious (Roast Beef ) very tender meat and amazing roast potatoes which I was informed that they are cooked in Goose fat For dessert I had the Lemon Meringue Roulade again you can tell it is home made Definitely I recommend the Stag to any one

Out for an impromptu celebration with my daughter and not many places open on a Monday night so thought I'd try the Stag Heard that the food was good and we had a lovely meal - simple but very well cooked and presented and lovely atmosphere so I'll be going back that for sure!

The Stag Public House serves an excellent Sunday Roast, usually 3 choices of meat with excellent roast potatoes. Great surroundings and a very friendly feeling to the place.

returned to the stag to find that it had changed hands. newley decorated. new chef young frenchman. ordered steak. cooked as requested with macedoine of veg. very good.pear tart obviously home made. good. wife had profiteroles. good.reasonably priced.well done for new peoole taking over

The new owners have just taken over and have worked hard to make a huge change in a short space of time to this traditional old pub. Very warm welcome and fabulous home made food including very decent veggie options. They also serve one of the best Sunday lunches for miles and most definately worth visiting for this. The pub also boasts a large garden leading down to the river which once the new landlord Glen gets going will be a fine asset to the overall experience in the Summer period.

Went for lunch Wednesday 28th October.Wife had OAP lunchMinted lamb I had home made chilliBoth excellent as usual. The Govenors Wife does the cooking, and many home made things.Always edible,not smart, but who wants smart.Only require good food at reasonable price.onte de

Very friendly pub. The local beer is very well kept and offers a good selection. The food is standard pub food, so not particularly ambitious, but you know what you're getting, and you wouldn't go there expecting a gourmet lunch anyway. During the Second World War there was an RAF Bomber Command airfield nearby, and the pub retains an impressive amount of associated memorabilia, which would be of interest to WW2/RAF/aeroplane enthusiasts. The landlord is fairly knowledgeable about the artefacts in the pub and is happy to talk to you about them when he's got time.There is lots of parking space and space for caravans and tents in the field at the back of the pub.
