The Stag at Barkston is a fantastic country pub with a great vibe! I had the Mac & Cheese, and it was absolutely delicious creamy, cheesy with a decent side helping of garlic bread just what I needed. The food menu has plenty of tasty options, and the beer selection is top notch, with some great local brews. The staff were very friendly and made me feel right at home. It is a perfect spot for a relaxed meal in a charming countryside setting. Highly recommend it!

Popped in for first time on way back from work usually i found villiage pubs very clicky but i was surprised it was fairly busy with locals who where friendly the atomosphere was very chilled and that lady behind the bar service was great and very welcoming i will stop by a little more when im out that way next time after looking at menu i will try as i have always been told it serves good food.

It's one of the tastiest roast dinners I've had out in a while, lovely fresh veg and meat, great gravy, and both opted for the duo, pork, and beef. The puddings are a big portion too and really good. Friendly attentive staff. Good selection of drinks (guest ale was lovely). Thank you. We will definitely be back again.

Sunday lunch for a table of five. Starters were fantastic and portion size was very generous. Roasts and Sunday menu was perfectly balanced with fish and vegetarian options. Meats were well cooked and the steak pur was crammed full of meat. Fish and chips was fresh, crisp and accompanied by fresh mushy peas. Overall the food was divine and we will be going back for sure. Staff were attentive and friendly. Busy little place but warm and friendly. Bar prices are what's to be expected and a great selection on offer.

We booked this lovely pub based on Google reviews way back in July to go to before the Christmas at Belton lights and my gosh we weren’t disappointed! Friendly, welcoming staff who were not only great with us but also my 2yo & 6m old. The pub has such a nice atmosphere and even though it was busy, the service didn’t falter in the slightest. The food itself was amazing, so fresh with great ingredients with very generous portions. We will definitely be booking again for next year, thank you for having us!

Make sure you book your table for Sunday ,in high demand! And no surprise, very cozy place with a fireplace in the corner, perfect for a Sunday brunch or really any day brunch :) Me and my partner we enjoyed it very much. The ladies who served us were very friendly, attentive and quick. The food was hot and delicious ,truly something to remember for a long time... we will be back definitely! There is a small parking lot ,think 6-7 parking places to the place.

Just over a year since we last visited the pub and the food was just as good if not better than before. Welcoming and friendly atmosphere greeted us on arrival and the specials on the board looked superb. Looking forward to returning again. Venison Bourguinion was superb along with the Chicken liver pate and Welsh rarebit and ham hock starters.

Thursday 21st, I had a reservation on the recommendation of friends who live in the village. From arrival untill the end we could not be any more happier. My wife ordered the Steak, Ale and Mushroom Pot pie with Chips and Fresh veg, i ordered the 8oz Burger with Blue Cheese caramelised red onion Chutney and Ch Now i can't comment much on the Pie, although the tiny peice my wife allowed me to eat was phenomenal. As for the vegetables, they had been cooked al dente and salted just right my wife even liked the corgette and she hates them. For me the Burger was sensational, now i know alot of people are a bit prudish when it comes to this but it had just a slight pink centre which was just how i like a homemade steak burger, the juices where retained well, there was just the right amount of Blue cheese and Red onion on it, the chips are some of the best chips i have ever tried in a pub. Now, onto dessert. WOW is the word of the day for this, sticky toffee pudding salted caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream, I'm not going to go into too much detail as WOW is just enough everything about it was fantastic. The wife had a white chocolate cheesecake with Raspberry Coulis and Raspberry Sorbet. AMAZING. No need too say anymore, everything from the cheesecake base to the Sorbet was sensational, so much that once i had tried some of it, i almost contemplated in ordering one just for me for after my sticky toffee pudding. At one point however i was really upset, but this was due to the fact with eat bite i onew at some point this meal was going to end and i did not want it to end. I To top it off, whilst it is good customer care and etiquette, the fact the restaurant staff allowed us to eat and not constantly ask if everything is ok was just a joy. The experience was such a joy we immediately booked again for the Friday night. Immediately we could see it was busy on the Friday we both ordered starters, Pate and the Olives and Mozzarella. Amazing the Pate was fantastic, the medditeranian bread with the olives was fresh and flavoursome, which added even more when dipped in the olive oil and balsamic dip. The pate was smooth flavoursome and not overpowering at all and complimented the door stop slice of homemade toast. The only regret i have is when Gemma the waitress said she would put some extra bread on for us as we wanted to share the starters, i went and said yes, that was alot of Bread but still all the same enjoyable. The mains we had the 7oz Braised steak with crushed potatoes and pepercorn sauce absolutely fantastic, although crushed potatoes they were still buttery and flavoursome, borderline mash may i say it, if i had one critiscism it would be the peppercorn sauce could've done with been a bit creamier and have peppercorns present but that is personal taste. Again, the veg served was cooked al dente and had the perfect amount of saltiness to the flavour. The Stag is a fantastic small pub, and i highly recommend it to anyone who is staying in the area.

If I could give 6 stars, I would. Went lunchtime a couple of weeks ago. Venison bourginon. Fantastic. Bowl of veg. Why don't other places serve like this? So impressed went back the next day in the evening. Rump of venison.(bit of a theme here) other half had sea trout. Best meal we've had for a long time. A real gem of an English country pub. Friendly staff, and locals. Also dogs allowed.
