The Stag Inn in North Devon

Went today with a large group for new years day lunch. Brilliant food and very friendly staff, highly recommend! Thank you for a great meal.

We had a super Sunday lunch at The Stag

We love this pub! It's got the perfect balance of being warm and friendly with beautiful decor and most importantly........very tasty food. Steve and Oliver are accommodating and welcoming and always have a menu worth travelling for.

Superb. Don't let state of outside put you off, inside is totally different!

This place was closed until mid July as it is undergoing renovation. Shame they did not update google as we made quite a diversion down single track roads to get there.

The food is a total delight! Amazing pies and the desserts to die for! I can't wait to come back to this place.

Great food good atmosphere. Friendly people

V nice good staff excellent food nice ride out from tiverton but a better ride home 5 mile down hill

The best roast I've ever had in a restaurant. The Stag Inn is a beautifully refurbished dinning room and bar. Be sure to check out the original well still visible through the floor by the bar.

Lovely. Hopefully we'll be regulars 😉

This place has great staff with real attention to detail and really good food. A good menu.

FABULOUS...superb food and superb hosts

Loved the decor the food and O'Hanlons yellowhammer

Enjoyed our hunt Christmas lunch, excellent venue and lovely food and friendly staff

I've watched this place change over the years and I just love what they've done with it now. I can see this being a great success and cant wait to return

Just had a lovely lunch, very friendly, dog welcome. Will go definitely go back.

Great food and very hospitable hosts

Fabulous cosy place.Very friendly staff and owners and amazing food . Couldn't do enough for us highly recommend this beautiful pub .

Nice pub for a drink after work, lovely place for quiet and delicious evening meal and proper good lunch on a Sunday. I’ve had them all and will do again when I’m next back in the area.

Fabulous pub . Wonderful food. Warm welcome

Made most welcome food fresh and very good

Dont let the outside fool you, lovely place and one of the best roasts I've ever had. Fantastic people that work there too

What an absolutely gorgeous pub!!! The owners managed to modernise it elegantly while keeping its beautiful and ancient history. Had a delicious meal and spent a wonderful evening there just soaking up the atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Tasty food but small portions for the price charged. (£15.00 for a small oval dish of cottage pie and a small ramekin of peas). The starter of Mackerel patè for £6.50 was literally just that, 3 quinelles of patè and a smidgen of chopped spring onion and a sprig of pea shoot garnish, nothing else. Our booking had been forgotten which was made 2 weeks earlier but it didn't cause a problem. We were put on the end of a long table though which was a bit disappointing for a meal out as a couple and no candle on our table unlike all the others. We were offered water for the table which sadly never arrived. So all in all, a nice meal, freshly cooked with a friendly waiter, but short on finishing touches, light on quantity and a bit lacking in the personal touch. I would have scored 3.5 if halves were possible but I didn't rate it as a 4

Lovely food, service and atmosphere.

Great food, great service and great place. What more could you want!

Lovely place and we were both happy with our food

Probably the best pub meal we have ever had. We have had pub meals from the Orkney to the Isle of Wight and West to East Coast so excellent

A gem of a pub if you love, good service, good food and attention to detail, thank you.

Very good quality food (local Rackenford lamb) and exceptional English puddings on the evening of our visit. Home-made vanilla ice cream, sticky toffee pudding with spiced Cornish rum, lemon posset and Eton Mess. Divine. Generous and charming service. Good value for this quality £134 for 5 main courses and puddings and drinks.

Called in late Saturday afternoon on our way to Bideford from Weston Super Mare. I had left straight from work and desperately needed some food. Although we missed lunchtime the proprietor said they could make something for us. Lovely food. Fabulous atmosphere. This Inn has great character and has been tastefully restored back to its originally features. Well worth a visit. We shall certainly pay another visit. Oh and they had two beautiful and friendly spaniels Freddie and Ben.

Amazing food which is reasonably priced and very friendly.

We attended a private function. There was excellent real ale, marvelous food, attentive staff and a great old building. What more can you ask?

We had drinks at this place one random Sunday and it was so memorable and inviting we had to return. Steve and Oliver the owners are the sweetest people. All the little personal touches, the atmosphere and food are just wonderful. Will definitely be going back. And even though a little drive away from home is now on one of my fav lil rock-ups xx

Really enjoyed our stop off. Great food and service.

Brilliant Sunday roast. Wonderful service. Beautiful place.

Mid journey stop off. What a treat. Extremely tasty burger and home made fries in very well decorated and pleasing venue. Good atmosphere on a Friday evening. Recommend.

Fantastic pub. Great food. Very friendly.

Excellent food wonderful old building and attentive service

The staff were very welcoming and friendly, relaxing atmosphere and food was lovely! Would defiantly go again 👍👍👍

Very good meal. Highly recommend.

Lovely old pub. Good food. Very atmospheric.

Delicious steak sandwich at lunchtime, but hugely overpriced. Warm and friendly atmosphere, but oh, the eye watering price!

Warm welcome and wonderful lunch . The 3 courses were all lovely and great service. We shall return soon.

Don't let first impression decieve you ! Looks rather depressing on the outside but lovely clean character pub inside . Looks like its being done up and what they have done so far is lovely . Good roast dinner on Sundays. Staff helpful .

Four of us had a excellent meal last night, Rack of Lamb, Salt Cod, two burgers, two Sticky Toffee puddings & coffee, well presented & delicious. Very welcoming, looking forward to going again soon. Thank you Oliver, Steve, Chef Scott & waiting staff.

On the spur of the moment we decided to visit the Stag Inn. What a surprise ... decor tasteful, welcome warm, food and drinks absolutely lovely, all in all well worth a visit

Great pub, sensitively restored. Very good atmosphere, food and perfect selection of local ales. Landlords went far and beyond to help us out with some extra requests we had at closing time. We’ll definitely stop there again when passing... highly recommend!!!

A beautiful, renovated pub with fresh, new look with delicious, locally sourced food and drinks. Stunning!

Brilliant friendly service and wonderful food in a fantastic old country pub that oozes charm and history. Highly recommended!

Beautifully renovated, very old pub, full of character. The beer was consistently good, as was the house wine, but the star of the show here is the food which is quite simply STUNNING! The Stag lives up to its billing of a gastro-pub and then some! Top end food, course after course, we ate 3 courses on 2 separate occasions and genuinely can not fault any of it. From the home made bread through such beauties as Thai fishcakes and Chicken tarragon to the home made ice cream, every dish was a flavour explosion! I've paid a lot more for a lot worse. The guys are running to an exceptional standard. Get in while you can as I can only see this place getting harder to book!

Lovely old world pub with thatch roof, fantastic food, the Sunday lunch I had was superb, roast pork, there was an open fire burning logs which created a fabulous atmosphere, the owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming, all in all a lovely place to visit.

Gorgeous interior with friendly service. Limited but fabulous menu, I had the best aubergine parmigano I think I have ever had and special mention for the home made bread than I could have eaten all night. This place deserves to be really successful.

Great food - great drinks - great staff - great service - great pub...what more do you want! Many thx to the owners Steve and Oliver, the chef Scott for a marvellous Sunday lunch.

As a local v pleased to see what Oliver and Steve have done to The Stag! At last!! One of the best places in the area now. Went last weekend and going again this weekend. V warm and friendly atmosphere, great service, good wines on the menu. Can recommend the house white. Only suggestion would be to have Exmoor Ale on draught! Hoping this pub now thrives.

High quality for the price and friendly staff. Even though they were fully booked, they squeezed us in for a quick dinner.

Great family pub for food and drinks

Wonderful food and cosy pub - an excellent place to stop after battling on the M5!

We love The Stag - beautifully restored 12C pub/restaurant; Steve and Oliver are perfect 'Mine Hosts'; and Scott Lancelles' menus are absolutely delicious - and beautifully presented too! We've eaten there three times now and are very much looking forward to taking some special friends next week. Highlights for us were Scott's Eggs, with runny yolks and black pudding surrounds; the rack of lamb and the Sunday Roasts were wondrous and the puds are all divine - can't wait to try the white chocolate fudge with chocolate soil and coffee on Wednesday. Definitely worth searching it out just off the A 361 - it's a real find!

As a local we are really pleased to see The Stag open again . We went in last night for our second meal in the two weeks that the owners have been serving food . Steve and Oliver have put in so much hard work to get the pub looking stunning .They have found an amazing Chef in Scott . We couldn’t fault the food on both occasions. It was well presented and absolutely delicious. The extra touches of homemade beer bread with your meal and white chocolate fudge with chocolate soil with your coffee are delicious. Well done to you both and we will look forward to many more meals at The Stag.

Recently refurbished, extensively and beautifully done, beautiful old building with lots of little rooms with comfy individual furniture, lovely staff, bars great (although currently lacking any beer on tap) great selection otherwise including non alcoholic spirit selection, kitchens have only just opened so currently a small but we'll made menu. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent lunch, very good locally-sourced ingredients and very nicely presented. Great quality and value. The pub itself has been refurbished to a really high standard and the owners and staff are very welcoming.

What a gem of a place ( rather well hidden off the A361). Authentic, honest and stunning renovation of this ancient inn which we are told dates back as far as the 13th century. Uncomplicated, inexpensive lunch menu (absolutely delicious!) . Good selection of beverages. The owner is plainly passionate about his inn.

A fantastic restoration of a wonderful pub.

As of Easter 18 the Stag is open again. Called in for a pint May bank holiday weekend, great beer, friendly landlord. The pub looks great after it's refurb, looking forward to eat here next time we're up this way.

The Stag is shut and under new ownership. It undergoing an extensive refurbishment and I understand they hope to reopen in October. Sounds very promising.

The Stag, I'm afraid, is closed and has been for several months now. No food, no drinks, nothing served

Web site states it is open 11am-11pm every day. Drove a long way to visit today at lunch time. Sign on door saying opens at 6pm. Get your information right for potential customers or you may not have very many.

An old english pub built in the 1100's for the stone masons while they built the village church. Lots of nooks & crannies & no straight wall in the place. Friendly bar staff, reasonable beer garden. Nice menu with well cooked & presented food. I think we were just leaving as the entertainment (regulars) came in. Cobbled entrance tunnel.

Just passing on the A361 stopped at the stag inn.We had an excellent Sunday roast. All freshly cooked and reasonably priced. We will return.
