The Stag Inn in Isle of Anglesey

Found the stag while on holiday with our little whippet last week. Susie and Darren were so lovely and welcoming, such a cozy atmosphere. Thanks for everything guys and we'll definitely be back!!

Clean, friendly staff, dog friendly, great food

Had a quiz night and it was very good

John's quiz night on Thursday night is a top night.

Wow! It's such a friendly pub with an awesome atmosphere. The landlord welcomed us upon arrival. They have a fab outdoor lit under cover seating area and also offer outside seating too. We also had a sea view. Looks tiny from the outside but, in reality, is enormous. This pub is a 'must visit' 5*

This is one of our favourite places on earth. End of.

A great old pub has a new landlord, and he is doing a great job. The prices were good too the kitchen wasn't open but he will open soon the bar staff say

A lovely little pub set in a beautiful part of Wales, great for walks and beaches, really friendly people running the pub, all very polite and happy staff, well done everyone, keep up the great work, we will see you again very soon ,., ... .

Great pub located in the friendly Anglesey village of Cemaes. The beach is around the corner, basically everything you need is within walking distance.

Harbour side pub with several different rooms, pool table, and a couple of outdoor spaces. Serves continental lagers, wines and spirits.

So friendly, great service and a cracking pint🍺🍻

This is right at the end of the High Street, a very short walk from the harbour and the beach. It also has the accolade of being the most northerly pub in Wales. There are some tables out front where you can watch the world go by or as an alternative there is a small terrace accessible from inside the pub. There is a decent selection of cask ales as well as lagers. The new food menu was being launched so this shoal be available now. Very friendly staff and dogs allowed inside.

The food was ok for the price. Took 45 minutes for the food to arrive (and there was I ky one other table full inside when we arrived) which has affected my rating.

Nice easy going pub. Staff excellent.

Great pub, super service - staff so helpful and friendly. Love it here. 👍🏻 Big thumbs up from us.

Fantastic staff, lovely spot with fine views outside and attractive rooms inside. Dog friendly and competitively priced. We have never been to the area before but both of us said we would return with family and friends as this pub changed our opinion of Cemaes (following a negative experience at a nearby establishment.)

We didn’t eat here but we had the most positive experience. Staff are efficient, professional and friendly. The management team were accommodating, polite and we were made to feel extremely welcome … a direct contrast to the hostility of the nearby pub (Vigour?) that had no toilets for ladies despite the limited and expensive beer offerings

Friendly atmosphere Great service And even better food!

Unassuming local pub. Great selection of beer, gins, and wine. We made good use of the pool table. Didn’t eat here so can’t comment on food. Nice seating outside with a view of the sea - good for a low-key date night, just bring cards! Would highly recommend the Thursday pub quiz!! The quiz was great fun and the host was funny. Winnings are good; we won 6 bottles of Birra Moretti and £20 💸 They donate the rest of the entry money to charity! Good community vibes.

Lovely spot for a drink in the sun. Friendly staff and quick service. We sat in the lower beer garden and it was a lovely spot with shade and sun.

The new menu from the team at the Stag is great. The steak pie and mash was lovely Nd my wife enjoyed her Brazilian curry. Prices are very reasonable.

Good ale selection - £2.80 Monday price for The Rev James. No food service - starts on Saturday

Lovely atmosphere. Darren and Susie are great landlords, looked after us well.

Great pub in a fabulous village.

Very good nice inside. The staff were very friendly will go again

Fantastic new owner. So friendly, very helpful. A group of girls and we got lost, he didn't have to help and he went above and beyond to make sure we were safe. The lady behind the bar was absolutely lovely too. Great location, really good atmosphere. Definitely will go back! Thanks Darren and everyone else.

Lovely traditional pub in a great location, friendly helpful staff, with a nice selection of beers. Didn't eat here so cannot comment about food.

Quite expensive but then the village itself is expensive

Couldn't rate any of these as the "opening times" are not up to date We walked 6km to visit this pub, the doors were closed, we called 5 times and waited around half an hour. When we left this feedback a comment was left by the owner to discredit what I was saying, making out we were lying, we weren't there and they were open the whole time. This simply is not true. A good show of character if the owner wants to lie to customers and make out they are better than they are. Simply update your information or be open when you say you are going to be open. Other replies to other reviews indicate the same. Snappy responses trying to discredit the honest feedback. Good luck with your business but be better

Love this place and Gwyn! Always an amazing welcome

Dog friendly pub, would like to see an online menu. Enjoyed chicken and a bottled beer

Very decent pub with 2 real ales (Banks Sunbeam and Wainwright's Gold) Prices VERY good. £2.80 a pint! (Monday only!!)

Best pub on Anglesey. Always a welcoming atmosphere. Food is always high quality.

Only called in for a drink but seams like a great place to be

Didn't eat here but what a fabulous place. Gwyn the owner can't do enough for you, or your dogs and the beers are excellent.

Food was okay, typical pub grub

lovely atmosphere, pet friendly, my steak was delicious

This is a fantastic pub…brilliant atmosphere and Gwyn and the team are sooo lovely and couldn’t do more for you…great food and the locals are lovely and friendly too ! I promised Gwyn I’d do a review but a bit reluctant to advertise this wonderful place lol…dog friendly and happy to see our four ( they loved Maddie) although dog friendly and allowed in some areas…Gwyn ensures that areas are also dog free. Love Chris & Debs …see you all soon 💗🌈💗

Had a lovely meal in here. All the food was fantastic and the look of other people’s food looked amazing too. The service was so friendly and the owner was brilliant with my daughter when it came to ordering, He took the time and spoke to her to tell her what was available and waited while she picked and she loved it ( only 4 ). The Children’s options where brilliant too. I would highly recommend this place for a meal and a drink.

We went in on Burger and Steak night on the Friday. The burgers were sourced from a quality local butcher and were very tasty! Booking is essential as these nights are very popular! Well done to Gwyn, Maddie and the team for our warm welcome ! John and Pam

Welcoming friendly staff Fabululous and very -reasonably priced meals - my steak was amazing and perfectly cooked (blue -yes!) Deffo worth a visit for fizzy Friday!

Great waitress at the bar. Very accommodating and patient. Beers selection okay. Food is overpriced though

What a lovely pub, with friendly staff. I have eaten here numerous times and the food is absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. I will definitely return again.Thank you Gwyn and your staff for looking after us.

Called in for a drink when exploring the village. Amazing balcony with a view of the bay, very friendly and helpful staff, will definitely come again.

Lovely pub with great service nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Good was hearty and great portion sizes

Lovely service...great food , done the dine and stay 3 times, great value

This is a lovely pub with lovely owners. Great choice of beers and drinks, we didn’t try the food but it looked and smelt amazing. The atmosphere was clean and cosy. It was so friendly and welcoming and the Pool table was a family favourite. Dogs were welcome as well. Highly recommend this pub just for the friendly staff alone.

Popped in for a Guiness for Paddys Day..as staying near by. Lovely welcoming staff. Lovely friendly atmosphere, very relaxing. Nothing too much trouble!

Fantastic food, drinks and staff. Highly recommend the Stag inn. We were a party of six people and two dogs. The owner and staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

Very disappointed after a 6km walk to the highly rated most northerly pub in Wales to see that it was closed. Google maps and your Facebook page stated you would be open today from 11am, this needs updating to avoid further disappointment. We were around until around 1pm and even phoned to check if you would soon be open, no answer so we headed back on the return 6km walk 🚶 If your opening hours are different out of season please update online. Yours faithfully, A very thirsty Karen

Lovely welcome from barman and friendly locals after a long walk. Served a decent pint. Look forward to a return visit.

No food available but it was midweek Jan. Land lady allows food brought in

Really welcoming and dog friendly.

Love The Stag! Always a warm welcome & the seafood baskets are amazing value & taste GREAT! They often have live music which brings a fun crowd!

Can't recommend this place enough! ❤️ Absolutely beautiful pub with the best people. We were in Cemaes Bay for a couple of weeks in December - my husband and I travelled through from Manchester, sister in law caught the ferry to Holyhead from Dublin and on from there and my brother travelled through from the South - good meetup spot for all of us over Christmas! This pub was a real gem of a find near where we were staying and we visited a good few times during our stay. Landlord Gwyn was SO lovely and friendly to us all and we all thoroughly enjoyed going here! All bar staff were really friendly and lovely. Dog friendly too which was a big plus since my sister in law had her two dogs with. Beautiful food too! Thank you so much for your hospitality and hope we'll be back soon!!!

Omg found this pub it's a little hewel in the anglesey Crown food was amazing staff were so polite very dog friendly keep up the amazing work and thankyou

Great local pub with decent pub grub. I was on my walk around Anglesey with my dog, we were made feel very welcomed by Landlord Gwyn after a couple hard days walk in the wind and rain. Definitely worth a visit. Thanks, Tom and Tegwen

Great pub. Friendly locals and bar man. Good food and good beer and very dog friendly. What’s not to like

Incredibly friendly people, great food & beer.

We popped in for a quick pint & stayed all evening. Gwyn & Maddie were fabulous hosts, and the locals welcomed us to their table. Beer & food were fantastic. Wonderful people & a brilliant place.

Visited whilst we wrre staying in the area. Lovely place and both dog and human friendly. Good priced drinks. Food was excellent quality and also well priced, especially with the deals they had on. Went for the weekly quiz too, which was great fun. We were really made to feel welcome. We will be returning next year.

Popped in for a quick pint and wow what a lovely little pub with amazing atmosphere.

Looks nice but was closed. Arrived at 1230. Website says opens at 1200. Everything closed in Cemaes in fact. You’d think the tourist trade was important, but…

Highly recommend this public house. Great landlord and staff. Warm and friendly. Well kept real ale and dog friendly. Don't know about food as not dined in there.

Friendly staff, dog friendly too

Brilliant food and drink and a very warm welcome and dog friendly what more could you want

Staff brilliant and food good and well presented plus value for money

Beer tiptop, Landlord and locals friendly. Coal fire to warm us during a blustery and damp week. Highly recommended

Very welcoming pub, lovely staff, and was amazed to find shipyard ale in draught. Only disappointing issue, no food available as chef was off , overall worth a visit.

Really lovely well kept pub in a super position with amazing views. Had a super tasty Dragon Pie made with delicious tender lamb and a generous cheese topping. We'll recommended.

It was ok, the chicken tikka curry was nice but the garlic mushrooms and scampi, both over done and hard

Lovely pub great atmosphere, really recommend

Ate at the Stag Thursday night (it was curry night with a couple of options for those not fancying a curry). We both went for the beef madras & it was absolutely superb! The right amount of heat, delicious lean beef that was cooked to perfection & absolutely melted in the mouth! The rice was cooked perfectly & generous portions. We enjoyed it so much we booked back in for the Friday burger night. Soooooo glad we did! Absolutely divine homemade burgers with a wide choice of additional toppings & sides. Honestly they were the best onion rings we have ever had! My partner, who doesn’t normally eat pork couldn’t get enough of the loaded tater tots! Excellent value, delicious food, friendly welcoming staff & locals. The stag is a small village pub, it does get busy but it is worth the short wait! Exceptional, looking forward to visiting again

Poor, 3 choices on menu chicken coujons, fish coujons sausage , jar curry sauce curries, anything that can go in a deep fat fryer worst meal I've ever been served in a pub, 8 people all disappointed 60th birthday celebrations, quiz was a savour. If you going to Camaes there is a lovey bar and restaurant though the field from the beach Gove this a miss all day long

Great beers, fantastic atmosphere and friendly local pub

Went in for a dri nk after a very long hot walk, we asked the landlord about bus services in the area and was offered a lift back to Amlwch, which we were so glad of. Couldn't thank him enough, will hopefully be back soon and for food this time. Spoke to one local man in the pub and he a,so offered a lift and spoke of the area. One bonus for me was that they sold the nice Blue WKd , gluten free ones and not the awful barley rubbish.

Can't comment on food didn't have any. Service from the bar was excellent. Dogs are allowed has 3 main indoor rooms nice and snug with one a games room. Toilet facilities very poor no urinal in gents just a sit down and not the cleanest to be fair it's the people who use it that make it messy in the first place.ladies has 2 loos not as bad clean wise. Does have plenty of outside space. Would I go again yes .

I was staying in Cameas Bay on the second night of my cycle camping tour of Anglesey. I had gone to the Stag Inn for lunch only to be told they don't serve but I was more than welcome to get food from elsewhere in the village and come back to the Stag to grab a beer and eat my lunch - works for me. I asked about dinner and was advised to book a table which I did. Come dinner time I wasn't massively hungry so I opted for the kids sausage, mash and peas, plus a couple of adult drinks. The food was spot and the sausages were locally made which I always look out for. From the upstairs terrace, you can just see out across Cameas Bay.

The Stag Inn was such a welcome site at the end of a long day walking the Anglesey Coastal Path. We wanted somewhere welcoming and comfy to sit to have a celebratory drink and some nibbles and it was perfect for us. The lady who served us was polite and attentive and expertly poured our Rev James beers. The beer was just at the right temperature and was so tasty. The pub was busy but service was prompt, friendly and welcoming. We enquired about food later in the week and we're told it would be best to book to guarantee getting in as they are popular and busy at this time of the year. We will definitely be returning here for food and drinks when visiting Anglesey again.

Such a fab pub to find at the end of a very long 25k coastal path walk. We had a well Seaver’s pint. Then to talk to the landlord and book a table for their Mexican night… pre-booking is a MUST as they are very popular! No WiFi problems at all once there … it’s an island so you expect 4/5g not to work all time! Your in the middle no nowhere. WiFi issues aren’t the landlords/areas problem! I/we will be back….. fab find and the end of a huge walk. And the beach was a bonus. Rev James is a fab pint. Kelly xxx

Good local, great atmosphere and pleasant staff.

An amazing pub with a warm welcome and fabulous selection of well kept beers. Without any doubt this is the best pub in Anglesey. Keep up the great work!

Just a couple of pints each of cask beer and they were absolutely tip top. No food at lunchtime but had a look at the evening menu and it looked OK. We will be back.

Really great pub! Super friendly staff, tasty food, quality drinks, and always a warm welcome. My dog loves the place, too!

Ate here one evening whilst on holiday with my family. Great friendly service and food fantastic. I had the vegan pie. I'm not vegan but fancied it anyway. As we left the landlord (or chef?! I'm not sure), came running after us to check everything had been OK with our meal. He said it had taken him ages to get a vegan pastry he was happy with. It was delicious and I couldn't even tell it had been made without butter. Definitely recommend eating here.

Not good for holiday makers that can't pre book tables for food. Fully booked .. not good phone signal/WiFi where we were staying so not able to pre book..left and went somewhere else to eat Edit In response to owner. You may feel it is harsh but it is factual and the signal to leave the review is because I am back home. Sarcasm doesn't change the fact we couldn't pre book and were turned away at the time for food as you were fully booked. Poor signal and no WiFi where we were staying ..we struggled to park and my disabled husband struggled to get into the premises as we couldn't get the wheelchair out of the car due to parking issues and someone blocking us in. We struggled across the road and we're turned away ..the review is to make sure others holidaying in the area know that they are best looking elsewhere if they can't book in advance. Also the website and your board outside say you're serving food which is misleading if you are only serving to pre booked in peak season

We visited here whilst holidaying on the Island recently. A gem of a pub! A very friendly welcome and a nice chat with landlord Gwyn. Got chatting to a couple of local lads too who were also welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Cracking pint in a cracking little pub. Glad we stumbled across here and will definitely be visiting again

Visit "back home" for a few days, and the first time since Gwyn and his team have taken over. Well not really too much to say apart from OUTSTANDING, a Very warm welcome from the staff behind the bar (who I hasten to add did not know me as the were new) which shows every customer gets the same service, Food was excellent (and no I wouldn't just say that I'd tell Gwyn if it was bad as he would expect honesty) and YES Booking is Advisable as it is very busy. Can't wait for out next trip back and see how much further The Stag has grown.

Fantastic community local pub / tafarn lleol gwych

Amazing experience in a joyful atmosphere ! The bartenders are friendly and we had a lot of fun spending our time there

Wonderful team, wonderful place, and absolutely lovely view :) Would recommend mini-guiness

Absolutely gem of a place in a beautiful village setting. Staff go above and beyond for their customers definitely made to feel welcome. You arrive as a customer and leave with friends. Good honest food all served hot and fresh fantastic choice available. They have a fantastic beer garden and balcony with a great view. Open fire in the winter when the weather gets cooler. Great selection of real ales and and lagers. Definitely a gem with great atmosphere.

Went to The Stag on Thursday for curry and quiz night. Food was lovely, service was good, staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. Took part in the quiz which was good fun and created a great atmosphere in the pub. Will definitely go back again.

Took our acapella group to sing on Saturday night and it was just amazing. Fabulous atmosphere, good food and can't wait to get back again. Thanks Gwyn. X

Still a wonderful place. I go every time I visit the village.

Nice local pub in the bay. Chips looked great one day so had some days later and they were oven chips! Not happy. Overall good experience with friendly locals and staff.

We had a brilliant evening meal here - in fact it was so good we came back two nights later! As mentioned in many other reviews, the landlord Gwyn is fantastic and his busy staff are friendly and welcoming. Our first meal included Dressed crab salads and Chilli con carne. On the second evening we sampled the Chicken, Gammon and Leek pies. Everything was delicious. This pub is such a little gem and also serves great cask ales……we enjoyed Directors, Rev James and Wainwright. Well done, Gwyn!

Lovely family / dog friendly pub, highly highly recommend .

When we visited the pub was busy with locals and visitors; the bar staff acknowledged us and served us in turn with a friendly manner. Unfortunately this was the only positive part of our visit. The pub itself is grotty and run down. We sat...

Lovely food lively pub very accommodating with our dog made to feel welcome despite our Harry not being the quietest boy. I had the squid to start and penang curry both tasty and well presented. Very central location had a little walk around near the beach. A choice of on tap beers … I’m only a shandy drinker but all in all a great place.
