The Stag Inn in Eden

Very nice food and friendly service.

Great food, lovely staff. Decent sized portions and the food was absolutely delicious. Very welcoming to our dog, including bringing her treats and making a fuss of her. Good selection of cask beer.

Friendly people. Also allow dog pets.

Staff rude, asked for no veg with a meal for the server to give us a funny stare and then said they would have to ask the chef?? Claim to be dog friendly but couldn’t accommodate our dog so very disappointed. Soft drinks were flat, never bothered with food due to all the above so we left

Friendly staff and one of the best Sunday lunches around. Plus, two fires keep the cold away.

Only had a drink outside. We were hoping to have food but we had 2 dogs with us and they were not allowed in the restaurant.

Totally delish food. The pie was amazing. Very friendly, helpful staff. Amazing location. Very cosy and homely.

Great place to visit for refreshments after coming into Dufton from the Pennine Way. Menu looked lovely.

Absolutely delicious venison burger and pie. Good value local ales at the beet festival, too. A great way to end our walk.

A very nice evening meal at the Stag, Pie of the day I can recommend.

Called in after a late afternoon walk with a couple of children to find the Pub unexpectedly busy. The young staff got us some drinks and managed to squeeze us into the dining room. The food from the menu was very good and given the current climate fairly priced. The staff accommodated minor changes without faff and service from Katy? was great. We look forwards to visiting again the next time we are around.

For a first visit I found the Stag a nice place to go... they do a good pint and the staff were right friendly..all in all a good experience.

Peter SAS 88 yrs old in Canada says HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I've read him the menu and he would enjoy a steak pie! Many many happy returns. Also, our elder vets need support! Step up if you can. One of my dad's favorite songs is called Donald, where are your trousers?! We sing it ❤️ together

Lovely pub. Great food. We had Stag pudding and a vegan burger. Both excellent.

Great pub with great freshly cooked meals. Has some good beers.

This place is outstanding. Was visiting Dufton YHA & even tho it's the only pub in the village, it serves great food. The pie of the night is a tasty "lucky dip". Ate it both nights. Loved it Friendly staff & great local beers

Best tasting food I have had in ages.Well cooked and great choices.Sticky toffee pudding was to die for....We will defo be back.Very talented chef.

Such a great pub for locals and tourists alike. We love it.

We arrived without booking, so we’re really disappointed when we were told they were fully booked! But, the staff managed to squeeze us in and we had a fantastic tea 👍. The Pudding (pie) was fantastic.

The food is exceptional, plenty on your plate and very tasty. Different craft ales are sort and put on. This is an extremely friendly pub to visit. Booking for food is essential a you can't get in otherwise, due to how popular it is.

Great in the past, but closed on the day we were in Dufton

Good beer. Good view. £15 for a fish and chips that had me hugging a toilet in the nearby campsite for 4 hours. Not ideal when walking for the last 41 days. Below average tasting fish and chips with a spoonful of peas that dosnt even come with tartare sauce!!

Great food and a large proportion of it was gluten free! Even the pie!

Great food , great real ale , great garden

Great pub in a lovely area. Wonderful views of Dufton Pike and the North Pennine range from their garden. Good beers and excellent food. My chicken, mushroom and garlic pie with gravy and lots of veg was really good.

Excellent food and best beer in the area

Stopped for a quick pint. Lovely country pub, with plenty of customers early evening

What a fantastic setting for a pub in one of the prettiest towns in the country. Friendly staff and a cosy pub. It was good weather so we sat outside. No other option for a drink because this is the only pub for miles but it's a good one.

Amazing place, wonderful beer and a lovely feel

Poor customer service, unwilling to help.

Cosy village pub, with an open fire, good pub food, and a good selection of beers.

I haven't tasted a finer meal in a long time ☺

It’s a Monday at the end of Feb & it’s rocking in the Stag! Proper top pub 🍻👍🏻

Lovely, local traditional pub - in a lovely area for walking and with good ales and food.

Lovely location and cosy atmosphere

What a great pub friendly staff a real village pub cosy and welcoming. The menu was a little different to the norm and food very good

The best pies you will ever eat!

Cracking food, great local beer. Middle of nowhere and a very wet day, but a good fire was going, and the welcome warm and friendly.

Pleasant hostelry, with nice range of local beers served by pleasant knowledgeable staff.

Nice place, after going out after a walk in the area.

While I was only here on a day trip with my walking club. I was very happy to be back after I am not sure how many years probably a few. The service was excellent and with a friendly smile. The pint of Swift was very nice and the pint of Cracker was cracking. A very enjoyable visit and I hope to go again sometime.

Nice pub , good choice of ales , unique ales , good ipas including American .

Had 3 lovely meals. Can't fault it. The staff are all friendly very welcoming

Great local pub. Good beer - good food!

Love this pub and where else can you see people arriving on tractors for a well earned beer. Good ale, great atmosphere and friendly staff.

It is a "Free House" that has a selection of local and brand beers. Delicious and varied food menu selection sold at reasonable prices! Rear outside tables offer a pleasant vista. The licensee and staff are welcoming and efficient. At peak times service can be a little slow but that is the pace of life in a small village. Book your advance table to avoid disappointment.

Food is excellent, steak large and delicious, burger large and delicious, fish and chips really nice, but mushy peas too peppery, Pie of the day perfect, stag pudding tasty. Ice cream scoops small, but cheap, sticky toffee pudding very nice, cheesecake it's alright. However, landlady, as described in other reviews, was awkward and rude.

A lovely pub and excellent food

Has the only pub in dufton I would recommend the food it was delicious but the customer service needs to be improved and I thought service comes with a smile not they wished you had not come in to eat disappointing!

Attractive pub with plenty of character and beautiful fireside seating. Great range of beers and a breathtaking view of Dufton Pike from the beer garden. Two vegan options when we went, a cauliflower korma that was so-so, and a decent linguine.

Really good food, reasonably priced too

Great atmosphere, with great choice of beers..

Good pub. Nice atmosphere, good beer selection and good food

Excellent beers, food and service! A great pub!

Its probably one of the nicest pubs in the Eden Valley. Great walking, Great Ale and Food.

Only could get drinks as food not served till 1730pm. Lovely old fashioned pub in a quant village. Made very welcome by staff. Highly recommend a visit if your in the area.

Went in after walk good beer choice, staff helpful and friendly nice beer garden out the front

Had fish and chips really good,friendly staff and a lovely warm open fire as it was wet and miserable outside,will be back....

Good ale good food and very good staff

Called here after a long walk just as they had finished serving food, but they found us a table for us and 2 dogs and served us 3 delicious beef Sunday lunches and one vegetarian one, delicious 😋.

Don’t get me wrong not massive portions but what you do get is lovely and filling so all is good. Polite service with great grub defo returning 😁

Lovely little pub.. just what we needed after a long walk up High Cup Nick.. splendid Sunday dinner for a very fair price.. will definitely visit again and recommend to friends and family…

Went with friends to this charming friendly country pub. Lovely atmosphere, good food. Service was good. Would definitely recommend it. Will go back again.

Lovely beer. Warm fire. Not enough food. Landlady lacked any charm to why we could not order food. They clearly had space. Sign of a kitchen being run too lean. Staff were employed for a full house which must mean they were shaving on the food portions to save money. Looking at the food coming out of the kitchen, it all looked Frozen and Fried so it's hard to understand why a pub on the Pennine way can't serve food to weary walkers and is happy to rudely turn them away. I saw 3 parties been given the same treatment. .

Good Food. Good Atmosphere. Good Service

Great pub, been for a walk and finished the day sitting in front of the amazing open fire range and reminiscing with staff about childhood memories. Food has never disappointed.

We popped into The Stag in for a quick pint, well, two actually, on a walk to High Cup Nick. Its a lovely old Inn, absolutely immaculate, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. We'll be back for sure!

Good food good prices good venue

Nice spot, good drinks and very welcoming staff.

Proper village pub (just how village pubs should be!). But with very good food. The menu is traditional pub grub but cooked and presented to a very high standard.

I arrived at 4 and told landlady I wanted food, she said they start serving at 5:30, the pub wasn't busy but my order wasn't taken until 5:50. A couple came in at 5:20 asking if they could have takeaway as they were being picked up at 6, they were told no takeaway but they would get food in time, it was 20 minutes before their order was taken, their food was served on plates at 6:05 as their lift arrived, they did get it to take away in the end. A couple booked by email but it wasn't on the system, the woman tried to order food but was told the chef wasn't ready for more orders yet (they were the 5th table of the day). A couple booked by phone for 6:00 their reservation was not on the system, at 6:30 (when I left) their order still hadn't been taken. Staff made a comment about pennine way walkers making subtle hints for attention when they saw me limping (behind my back but loud enough for me to hear), I was limping because I have damaged my spinal cord, not for attention. Food was great, the way the restaurant was run was a shambles and it was a bit unprofessional to here the barstaff making assumptions about me.

comfy bed. good staff. altho kinda smelt like beans the entire time, and also they are british

Great food, friendly staff, nice drive to get there. Will be going again

Great food and a warm welcome, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. They have a great selection of beers and know about what they serve if you have any questions.

Excellent pub on the Pennine Way. Good selection of Real Ales and lagers....Staff ate superb and welcoming....Give it a try

We LOVE The Stag Inn, lovely couple who run it, it’s marvellous 🤩

Highly recommended. First class food and very friendly and helpful staff.

Lovely little pub! But sorry didn't like the plastic glasses that the beer was served up in. The good choice of beer just didn't taste the same!

Great pub and great staff and amazing food and drink

Had a couple of drinks and service was good

Friendly staff. Small but good menu. Good section of beer. Stunning views

Lovely place very friendly and helpful as we reminded ourselves how to be "out" lol, fantastic beer garden to the rear too

Loved it. Great food very friendly staff

Sunday roast amazing 😋😋😋😋. This picture was taken in the beer garden.🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Excellent service lovely beer garden great sun trap

Great beer, good food, nice people, what more could you want

Great customer service, fab location, brill food

Great beer and lovely fire pit.

Lovely pub and location. Coffee was nice and frothy and a nice pot of tea. 2 stars as the visit was tainted by a rude lady bar staff member who was sharp with both me and my partner on arrival and when paying for our drinks.

Had a great meal and brilliant service by lovely staff. Recommend it highly nice to have a great beer and some lovely food.

Amazing local pub, with great dine in and take-out options. Food is great and well priced, great beer, wine and atmosphere! Would highly recommend

We really liked it here, excellent food and drink served by friendly staff. I had the Brie to start followed by the Stag venison burger, which was seriously tasty. Highly recommended.

Well, well, well. To say sublime would be doing The Stag Inn a catastrophic disservice. If you want to experiece the finest braised beef then this is the establishment for you. The staff are attentive, never allowing your pint glass to empty. Pop by for a 10/10 meal at reasonable prices.

Good pub food and excellent service.

This pub sits in the small village of Dufton. You will need to book. What a gorgeous place. Very friendly staff, and they love dogs. Good local menu which will test your resolve to start a diet. We had baked Brie starter, and then I had the fish pie and my partner, the venison burger (stag burger]. The fish pie was so tasty, and packed with a whole shoal of fish, and gorgeous well seasoned red cabbage and carrots. The stag burger, came with coleslaw, salad and chips. Very good portions, and very hot. We had to try a pud, and this we shared, chocolate brownie and ice cream. And now we diet. Good range of ale as well. All in all a great place, and we want to move in.

Se detuvo en el campamento frente al pub por una noche, así que fui aquí para tomar algo y comer. ¡Sin duda el pub más bonito en el que hemos estado! La comida fue absolutamente asombrosa. Una de las mejores comidas que hemos tenido y había una hermosa chimenea que lo hacía tan acogedor. La señora que nos atendió, Zoe, fue una de las personas más encantadoras de todos los tiempos e hizo que nuestro perro fuera tan bienvenido como nosotros. Excelente servicio y estoy deseando volver. ¡No puedo recomendar lo suficiente! ! ! ! Zoe eres un angelito gracias x

Un lugareño nos aconsejó que viniéramos aquí por los pasteles. Voy a arriesgarme aquí y decir que en realidad es el mejor pastel que he probado en mi vida. Lleno de sabor, verduras bien sazonadas hechas con cuidado y amor. La comida era un poco lenta, pero no teníamos prisa y podíamos decir que estaba recién hecha y desde cero, ¡valió la pena!

Home Cooked food amazing! Lovely staff

The stag in, know locally as the stagger out. Or so I have been told by wilf the spoon bender from the village. A good pub, but sadly when my family and friends visited covid was restricting our experience. Hence only 4 stars. Its is a good old low ceilinged traditional country village pub. The decor is good and the layout pretty big with a restaurant/ dining area out the back. Tables out side the front also. The rear beer garden has amazing views over the fells. Staff were great and followed guidelines we all gave to stick to. Off the beaten track, but the well known and really worth doing hike, of high nick cup starts from dufton village. One of England's best natural areas for a really good walk. Go visit both.

I just want to say thanks to Raphael and Matt and they staff for a smashing funeral tea they provided for us, the buffet was lovely.
