The Stag & Monkey in Hartlepool

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 👍

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

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

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

Sophie and Tom provided very good service and were very approachable

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.

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! 😎

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.

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

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

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!

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.

My second visit to this pub, again the food was great, not perfect but perfect for the price. Service and atmosphere was fantastic. I visited with my granddaughter and the staff were so friendly with her and also this pub is dog friendly so my next visit I will take my dog too…definitely a place I visit every time I’m in or near Hartlepool. Thank you

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

Lovely little place and Sam is a lovely server and a lovely person thank you Sam 😊 ❤

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

Tikka was unreal deffo my go to . Staff are lovely

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

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

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

Sam was very polite and quick to serve me

Sam was amazing very friendly and polite!!

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

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

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.

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!

Adam Carly and Sophie Lucy looked after us tonight mint atmosphere

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

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

Rhyse top broke top pint of Guinness and top service overall

Rhrse was amazing service and helpful in a all areas

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.

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!

Great evening with Harry Potter quiz

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

Great food, nice atmosphere. Tom was a lovely server. Thank you!

Lovely place!! The food was great value for money. I was served by Tom, who was very friendly and attentive, nothing felt like a bother. Will definitely be going back!

Tom's service was top notch, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food and drinks were fantastic. Tom's attentiveness and friendly attitude added to the positive review of the overall experience.

Had a family meal food was good - Tom behind the bar was really helpful in choosing our meals

lovely atmosphere with quick service and great food! Tom was really nice when serving and made sure our experience was welcoming and enjoyable

Tom was absolutely awesome! He really made the whole dining experience super enjoyable. Definitely a top-notch server to have around.

The food and drinks were great and fairly priced. Our server Tom's attentiveness and friendliness made the experience even more enjoyable. highly recommend the place, staff are friendly with exceptional service, to anyone looking for good food and friendly faces, this is a great place

I've never had food there yet, but it looks OK to me

Genuinely good family pub with some super fantastic meals, friendly staff, great atmosphere and most of all a play area to let your children burn of that energy.....

Food good a little slow on getting 1 meal but service and food was great and would 100% come again

Carly was great service i was highly satisfied with her service

Loved my last visit to the Stag, great food and massive selection of drinks, loads of TVs so didn’t miss the footy!

Tried this place again. Shouldn't have bothered. Floor and tables looked and felt as if they had been cleaned with a dirty mop. Your feet stuck to the wood floor and your arms stuck to the table. Food was mediocre, fish was over cooked to the point the batter was solid and inedible. Lasagna needed another 60 seconds in the micro wave but the salad looked nice. Will I use this place again. No. You've had several chances but yet again. It's gone back to very poor experience

So if I could give no stars I,would for this reason.my family and I go here regularly for Sunday lunch we went on the 30/6/2024 Sunday 2.30 and asked for 3 pints of larger and the manager set up 3 plastic glasses and I asked for proper glasses he then said no because the football was going to start which was wrong as it didn't kick off till 5 a clock I looked around the bar and people were drinking out of proper glasses I pointed this out to the manager again asked for glasses he said no.if you can turn away 70 to 80 pounds worth of business then more fool you just remember when the football is over and the fans have disappeared and you're looking for you're regulars then pop around the corner to the travelers rest and give us a wave where we get a lovely welcome for the staff.

The most delicious steak I've had in a long time. Gorgeous.. Perfectly cooked. My husband had gammon with the most delicious looking eggs Definitely worth another visit!

Lovely food and great service (Sophie). We will definitely be visiting again.

Spot on service, first time coming here, will definitely come back, Carly especially was brilliant.

Frequent this pub often, staff are always cheerful and make us feel very welcome, lovely cold beer and clean tables with a beer mat! Chilled background music! Great variety of sports on good screens, over 18’s section and excellent children’s play area! Well done Oscar and team we will return 😉

Nice quiet afternoon meal with our child nice touch with screens in booths meals fine if i had to grumble need more nacho cheese on the quadzilla service was great friendly

Great pub good place to watch bit of footy with the lads big up oscar x
