The Stag and Pheasant in Rugby

Visited whilst on a walk, quiet on a Saturday afternoon, a few locals in. No food on offer, beer OK.

Good atmosphere and service with a welcoming beer garden at the rear.

Food was lovely and staff was very kind. Good selection of fresh beer and was very clean and tidy Would definitely go again.

Lovely traditional village pub offering good food and good choice of ales and beers. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Stopped doing food now. Still a very nice village pub but I'm concerned it may not survive much longer.

Didn't have food, but it was an amazing place.

Nice and busy place, specially when you walk in on weekends. Good drinks to choose and serve hot food. Table service when you ask. Nice place for your weekend. Good for hanging out with friends.

Nice old fashioned but very neat old thatched village pub. Great Bass on tap, and it's a free house - so you get what the owners want. Food is simple and well prepared.....our walking group of 9 sent back 9 clean plates !

Popped in after visiting an event locally. Fantastic hospitality and welcome. Sunday lunch was tasty and they also accommodated gluten free for a coeliac. The skittles were great fun and if we lived closer, we would absolutely make it a regular haunt! Great place, thank you!

A lunch date after picking somewhere that had good reviews that did not disappoint us either. Lovely choice on menu and good home-cooked food with lovely specials Service really good Food served promptly Would definitely recommend

Lovely pub with a fabulous landlady

Not a huge menu but great food! Had the steak and ale pie and it was fantastic, home made with high quality meat! Good selection of beers and friendly staff!

I had an a superb spaghetti carbonara with pancetta - possibly the best I’ve ever had! It was the Italian evening. Other dishes got an equally good praise from our friends

Great & friendly service from the bar person, delicious food & coffee.

Family oriented and Dog friendly ❤️

Brilliant food, reasonably priced fantastic atmosphere.

The board said food served but after I bought a pint the barman said not that evening. Seething.

Lovely old pub. Quiet and good beer. Will come again

Sign outside said food was served that day. Went in and ordered a drink then I asked for the menu to be told they didn't serve food on a Wednesday. Not happy.

Took a party of walkers on 14th April. Andrea the landlady has catered for walkers before and was very organized. Menus left in smokers shelter at 9.30 we picked our meals and when we returned at lunchtime meals were ready. Good food friendly staff excellent day. Thank you Andrea and staff at Stag & Pheasant.

Having been turned down by four other pubs in the area when trying to book a table for thirteen on a Saturday lunchtime we breathed a sigh of relief when the Stag and Pheasant replied "Of course; no problem". Our sense of relief at having found a venue that was happy to cater for our family gathering was even surpassed when, on entering the bar we saw the range of delicious beers available on tap including two Church End bitters and one of my own personal favourites ; Timothy Taylor's 'Landlord'. But we were there for a family lunch so having been quickly served with drinks we set to scanning the menu which easily satisfied the various tastes and ages in the group. Someone whispered "The Homemade Steak and Ale Pie here comes highly recommended" and five of us were able to confirm that they weren't wrong - with a gravy to die for and topped with a suet pastry it was absolutely delicious. Someone ordered a steak, someone else gammon and one of my granddaughters decided on wraps while the little ones plumped for fish fingers and beans etc but the most amazing thing was that all thirteen dishes arrived at the table fairly quickly and together or as near as makes no difference. What superb organisation to be able to do that in such a tiny pub and with other tables occupied too. All this excellent fare put us in such a good frame of mind that another round of drinks was called for and selections made from the very inviting pudding menu on the blackboard - apple crumble and custard, another of my favourites was on the list together with sticky toffee and lemon meringue amongst other. I understand that steak nights are also a regular feature here plus occasional live music evenings and even karaoke so although this was my first visit I don't think for a moment that it'll be my last. Thank you all at the Stag for making a special occasion just that little bit more special.

How a village pub should be, good food, lovely atmosphere and affordable. Really friendly nice feel to the place and a table skittle table. A traditional gem of a pub.

Great beer lovely staff good food, quiet friendly village pub

Great local pub, very reasonably priced!

Friendly atmosphere with Friendly staff, all round good local public house.

It's a proper pub this with friendly staff and nice clientele. Didn't eat but the beer was good.

Excellent village pub on the outskirts of Rugby,great beer and fantastic food. Staff are excellent,nothing is too much trouble.Very friendly pub and is well worth a visit.

A walk up a disused railway to an old beamed Inn, what could be better. Well good, reasonably priced, local ale and 2 courses for £10 lunchtime meal deal. Pleasant, efficient service. I think this is our new local.

Great safe outdoor space for a drink in the sun!

Dog friendly. Decent beer and food. Friendly staff. Good pub. Will use again.

Lovely little village pub, great community

The Stag has recently changed hands - it’s clean and bright with a good range of drinks including a couple of real ales. For those interested in history it’s the oldest building in use as a pub in Warwickshire. The thatched building pre-dates its use as a pub, the cruck frame being of medieval origin. The pub doesn’t serve food yet, but maybe in future? If you come looking for a warm welcome in a traditional village pub then you won’t go away disappointed.

Good quiz night but beer choice can limited sometimes

Very welcoming, the perfect dog pub 😊🐕

Friendly, lively local. Good Sunday roasts

Finally got round to going to our lovely local for Sunday dinner! Really couldn’t fault the food, the service and the atmosphere! Table service, no Q’s or feeling of being hearded for food! Can’t recommend enough, looking forwards to taking the children and sampling the evening menu all of which look delicious at an amazing price! See you soon

had a lovely sunday dinner the other week. The kitchen is under new management and I have to say it was beautiful.. they went out of their way to cook roast potatoes for me without fat as I cant eat fat. Choice of meats good Yorkshire puddings home made and fresh vegetables. The bread and butter pudding was home made "just like my nan made it" my husband said. Highly recommend this village pub lovely staff and management warm friendly atmosphere.

Staff very courteous and welcoming. Service and food very good. Will be back.

I haven't been here for ages but it's clear the new owners want you to enjoy the pub. It's friendly and the decor is very modern but in keeping with a village pub. We only had a drink but the menu looks good at a very reasonable price.

Traditional thatched pub serving fabulous real ales and delicious food

Cosy,friendly village pub.. good entertainment..

Great atmosphere will definitely go back

Dog friendly pub with a nice selection of beer and food at reasonable prices Happily come back again

Lovely pub lovely people great value. Been here a few times now and never been let down. A MUST TRY

A massive improvement from before (possibly under new management?). Bar was nice and busy but service still quick. Beer garden nice and sunny. Food was absolutely excellent - the best Chili con Carne I've had in years. The homemade shortcuts pies were fantastic too - loads of steak and a decent size with perfect pastry. Portion sizes were generous but the price very reasonable. We will definitely be visiting more often now!

Amazing pub! Very friendly atmosphere, and the managers are really welcoming. Can't wait to visit again!

Homey, hip atmosphere, perfect for a night out with friends and family. Excellent beer & spirits.

Great place, will get even better with the new management. Pet friendly 👍

Nice local pub with good beer garden

Excellent ale atmosphere real fire real ale and pool table what more would one want?
