The Stag & Monkey in Hartlepool

Poped in for a pint, brilliant place

Would recommend it family and friends for lovely food friendly staff all polite

Sam and Oscar are a credit to the place so welcoming and great service!

A great welcome in by Sean and Stuart to set up a warm atmosphere in the stag, the Stella was very good pint and the nachos were beautiful followed by a lovely chilli cheese burger and chips. Well worth the money. Chef Lizzy 10/10

Served by Sean and Stu who were both excellent. Food made by Lizzie was tasty and generous. Nice relaxed evening meal.

Cought it on a bad day. Usually really great atmosphere. But we had kids running wild like hypermaniacs. Upsetting staff and diners

Sam was great, good service, nice bartender

Me and my partner come very often. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Been served a few times by sam and she always let's me know the promotions for the day. Good for football aswell for my partner

Popped in for breakfast this morning. Had the breakfast wrap and the hash browns with gravy, both were very nice, took my dog with me and she had chicken. Price was brilliant too as well as the service. ☺️

Another great meal at the stag and monkey

Went to the Stag and Monkey for lunch and chose from the mix it up menu. All 3 of us were impressed with the quality of the food. The service was excellent. The bar staff were very patient with me as I had trouble bringing up the QR code for blue light discount. We didn’t wait very long for food either so would definitely recommend and go again

Cheap and cheerful brillaint staff

Great service very efficient staff and very polite Warm and welcoming And there wine is an A grade Thumbs up from me and the Mr ....

Had a good time at the stag and monkey for a family members birthday meal. Sam (the girl that served us) was really lovely and was extremely helpful with her recommendations for drinks to try. We had a really good time playing pool are darts and I would recommend the food as Hannah is a really good chef. We will be going to the stag and monkey again!

The steak was good and the chips were amazing The chocolate fudge for pudding was incredible and the waiters were very friendly. I highly recommend

Absolutely recommend! Great pub, wide variety of food and drinks, fantastic service from friendly staff.

Hi my wife and I are regular customers we try to get here once a week staff are always pleasant and polite the young lady today was Sam who works with Oscar very polite with a great attitude. The chef was Kaz the food was spot on no complaints at all about it. Thanks Ken & Sue.

Visited today for a cuppa while I waited for my car to be repaired. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable and Tom, The server was friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again. Cheers!

Oscar was very friendly, food was amazing Nice and warm environment

Had chilli dipper burger n was amazing. Ty chef Stu. Great service Oscar, friendly n fast service. Great value bogof burgers. £20 FOR Two burgers all extras n pint n coke. Defo be bk

We had the steak mix up and it was gorgeous. We eat in lots of different restaurants and pubs from cheap and cheerful to high end, and that steak could compete with any of them. The staff were lovely, especially the woman with the long hair in a ponytail.

Served by Wayne & Sam, thank you! Especially Wayne ;)

Attentive staff. Cosy atmosphere.

A really nice place for friends or family. The food is nice and a very comfortable atmosphere

Good food helpful staff, good place to have a nice night out👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice pub, with friendly staff and good, reasonably priced breakfast

Excellent experience and great value for money on Christmas day. Food was very fast but didn't lack in quality as a result. Service from the staff was excellent but not overbearing, just right. Sam was lovely with us and the rest of the team working the Christmas shift too, not a bad word to say against them 👍

We booked for Christmas dinner 2024 at The Stag & Monkey and we couldn't be happier. The food was so good, the staff were incredible. They were attentive and so welcoming. The atmosphere was just perfect. My family and I had the most wonderful time. For the first time in a long time, I was able to actually enjoy spending time with my family instead of being in the kitchen and cooking. Thank you so much to all the team for going above and beyond. Highly recommend

Had christmas dinner here, its was a great day, the food was beautiful and staff were lovely!

Sophie and Tom provided very good service and were very approachable

Nice boozer, enjoyed watching darts and bit of nice food. Service fantastic

Good prices , great range felt a little rush starter not finished when mains arrived but food tasty

We came straight from xmas shopping hoping for a quiet stress free meal and a couple of drinks, we couldn't of been happier , we got parked straight away , seated immediately and got comfortable. I ordered our drinks and starter/meal by app and within minutes our drinks were on out table , 3 minutes later our starter was served . We just finished our starter when our plate filled piping hot mains were served . The food was more than enough for each person and was beautiful. The place was very clean and the staff couldn't be more helpful. We had an excellent experience. It was our first time here and we will be back.

Today i got served by Wayne who made sure i had everything and made sure the food was exceptional . The food was perfect, very great customer service and lovely atmosphere. The food came hot and quick

Always brilliant service from Oscar, Wayne and the team.

Oscar, Wayne & The team down here are class! My favourite boozer in the town Regularly visit and partial to the regular discounts available through their app aswell. Keep up the good work people! 😎

Rhyse was our server tonight couldn’t of received better service from him

Brilliant service by Sam today. Staff are always extremely friendly and helpful and food is lovely!

First time visiting today, will definitely be back! Lovely food, great service and team member Tom was super friendly and nothing was too much trouble thank you for a lovely lunch

We didn’t have to wait long for our food, which was nice. The guy called Tom was friendly when I was at the bar.

Popped in last week got a breakfast .Fantastic staff very welcoming and helpful

We had nice food with nice staff Prices good for families

Great food and decent selection of drinks, great service by Tom behind the bar

I was served by Jess and she had great customer service skills and made sure I had everything I needed.

Food lovely and a great price unfortunately the music was not really conducive with the style of pub or the customers in at the time

I had a lovely evening dinner with my partner and was well looked after by a member of your team called Tom. Very polite, very chatty, and made the atmosphere more enjoyable! Would come back just for his service!

Food was delicious and a big thank you to Tom for his patience, professionalism and wonderful personality. He made the evening very special.

First time coming here as I’ve heard really good things, food was amazing, Oscar the manager couldn’t have helped me more. Will definitely be returning.

Meals are perfect for the price we often pop in our grandaughtee loves it 😊😊

Food was great I was served by Sam she was lovely very friendly and polite.

I feel that this establishment is very good and community orientated.

Tikka was unreal deffo my go to . Staff are lovely

Good priced food, top service from Sam. Sometimes has live music on Friday/ Saturday

Nice pub, Good atmosphere, good food, reasonable price. Making it out new local

Sam was amazing very friendly and polite!!

Sam was very polite and quick to serve me

Friendly staff, amazing atmosphere and great food

Nice pub go there every time I'm in Hartlepool

Awesome and quick service, family oriented and friendly staff. Food was great, came over a couple days to try different items from breakfast menu while visiting family in the area, well worth the trip.

We both had burgers and fries with onion rings. The burgers and buns were really overdone, got just 2 small onion rings which were not good.

Food was tasteless, would not recommend, people of Hartlepool have no taste buds yet everyone recommend you eat their.....

Very lovely food snd great service.

Had fish and chips and burger meal....definitely had better fish and chips and burger from nearby pubs...service was quick and good

Staff very friendly, unfortunately you have to get your own cutlery and when you're dining with a 3 and 1 year old with no one else you can not leave them alone to get the cutlery needed . I understand they may be too busy to get everyone's cutlery, but I think they should offer for single diners with little ones to young to be left alone.

Very lazy staff , in Hartlepool stag and monkey today, two stood behind bar today , 20-09-24@ 1.30 onwards, but when food was brought the lad told us we had to go get our own cutlery and sauces. No one asked if our meal was ok . My sister only wanted half a coke , but was told they only do pints , this is not good service .I would not recommend anyone go here

Lovely food and lovely staff. Local friendly pub. Would definitely recommend

Good food, great service from a fella called Stu

Banging food. Staff are top tier.

Staff are friendly & welcoming. Food and drink were lovely and well priced. Atmosphere and music choice was fantastic and Stu who served us all night was exquisite. 10/10 would recommend.

The The toilets have no locks on the door, and they’re always blocked. I’ve been coming to this pub now for three months and the toilets are the worst thing about the place. I’ve complained today which has fell on deaf ears, which is a shame because I do like the pub in general, but if you can’t have decent facilities and that there is a problem !!! I never leave reviews, but today I think I have to !! DIRTY TOILETS LET A PLACE DOWN !!

Nice pleasant staff, homely atmosphere, food 👌 my grandson loves this place.

We had a nice visit to this pub last night, friendly staff and good service! The food was top notch and there's a good selection of both meals and drinks. Top value and a nice meal!

Disney quiz was good fun, adam, sophie and carly looked after us😃

Adam Carly and Sophie Lucy looked after us tonight mint atmosphere

Best pub in hartlepool, food and staff amazing

Staff were friendly and helpful. We had to sit outside as we have a dog. The beer garden is right next to a very busy main road, meaning that it was very loud. Also, the food wasn't great. Why ask how you want the steak cooked if they're going to over cook it any way. The chicken breast was also very dry. At least our dog liked it. Finally, the portion size was also small.

Love the place friendly staff lovely food and good price

Lovely food . Kid enjoyed playing

Staff are bang on. Burgers and pints are sound. All round good boozer

Great place for breakfast good quality food I recommend the breakfast wrap and Bella our Shi tai recommends the sausages woof

Rhrse was amazing service and helpful in a all areas

Rhyse top broke top pint of Guinness and top service overall

Service is very good and staff are very helpful and polite. The drinks are good and very reasonable priced. Any problems are very quickly resolved if possible.

Plenty of choice food and beverages. Staff are polite and friendly

Bouncing pub and pool table good standard

Nice place to go for a meal and a drink Came out hot and didn't have to wait long.Reasonable price.Would go there again.

Went with my Mam at lunchtime had 2 for £11.95, had fish, chips and mushy peas. Very nice and good value. Staff nice and friendly.

Great evening with Harry Potter quiz

We had a fab time here recently, Tom was super friendly (as were all of the staff!) and everything was absolutely top notch. Cannot wait to be back again!

Food was shocking again today. None of us are the food. It was stone cold undercooked and the portion size was tiny. Second time at this establishment, first time was lovely we recommended to friends this time was really bad experience paid over 20 quid for two meals, first time had been out in a long time. One Meal was wrong, off and split sauce and overcooked steak. no one came to check if meals we're ok so had to hunt down a member of staff to change the meal. They did so graciously but that was their only saving grace. The meal came back the second time and wasn't what was ordered. Nobody came again to check the meal was okay but my husband had already eaten, so we left and reported it the bar. The Best they could offer to make up the horrendous food and service was an eye roll and a half-arsed "sorry about that." Clearly, the staff and supervisors and chef are not really all that bothered about guests. We won't be going back. Don't tell me!? you will take my feedback on board because this isn't your usual standard. 😉

Came in yesterday evening and I will be returning in the future had great food great prices drinks and the manager and syaff where spot on and couldn't do more for us. Really impressed thanks for a good meal and service

Nice place, good food and the duty manager was lovely, very accommodating, didn’t catch his name, I would return.

Lovely meal, had the Mix It Up salmon and was beautiful. Lucy, Declan and Adam looked after us so well. Definitely be back, thanks!

Lovely place to bring the kids to eat. Excellent prices, food was enough and tasted nice, good choice. Thr lad who served me was lovely , really pleasant and willing to help. Kids loved it.

This is the second time at this pub first time was great, but very disappointing this time round, very sloppy food and the burger barely resembled what we asked for would avoid ordering food here i had a burger replaced and even then was terrible hot chips freezing cheese burger, i asked for a refund in the end.

Family friendly pub, I had a mixed grill and the steak was rubbish!!

Breakfast, service and hospitality spot on as ever. Thanks.

Came in for a game of pool with our daughter. We didn't realise it was an over 18s area as we entered through the carpark. We were told we could finish our game of pool and go into the other side the extremely rude bar lady shouted at us to leave. I've never felt so belittled in all my life the way she shouted at us, please sign post an over 18s area if you don't want children in there. We wouldn't of intentionally brought a child into one.

Came for breakfast choose to have the waffles for the first time with sausage bacon and cornflake chicken was absolutely delicious will be definitely having it again
