The Stag's Head in Brighton and Hove

Sadly, they don't do food but a. Good pud good beer friendly staff.

Good local pub. I was there to listen to a band.they have great live bands every weekend

Loud talking, from the bar person.

Great pub, staff and locals. Lots of well attended function nights.

The best pub around Portslade, well run, friendly and comfortable, live bands at the weekend, absolutely fab

Lovely welcoming pub in the heart of Portslade Old village. Recently under new ownership, the place has been transformed. Good selection of beers, with regular guest ales. Food is only availiable on Sundays, but the meals are good and reasonably priced. The beer garden could do with a makeover, but is still nice to sit in, a real suntrap. We often visit with kids, who are more than welcome.

Really cosy warm friendly pub, garden area nice size. Staff really nice.

First time back in 20 years and I was impressed with the pub It is well laid out good service and great beer. Nice atmosphere.

Great place barman Jim excellent

Friendly , local, traditional. I wish i drank booze lol

Popped in for a flying visit, first time in ages, Very good beer, friendly locals, great landlord,(Jim), will return soon.

Good beer Great landlord and staff Clean and tidy pub

Just read previous review from eggharry. The Stags Head, portslade Old Village don’t serve food, so your dodgy roast dinner was purchased elsewhere!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Harvey’s Beer was amazing. Thank you for opening on Xmas Day

A pub with proper beer and great staff. Say no more

Very friendly and cheap prices,£4.90 a pint. Great live music too.

Great night out ! Live music was great to

not good screaming fat greasy kid upstairs, massively downgraded my experience. Pub food resurfaced my IBS, not great i must say. This picture sums it as a whole. Also the staff told me i was fat for ordering a second roast after the first came out like shown below.

Friendly bar staff, always feel welcome

Great pub, great service, fantastic entertainment. Bowie tribute was brilliant.

Great band, good atmosphere and for a Sunday afternoon brilliant!

Always good staff always friendly warm welcome every time

nice pub. friendly and helpful staff. bar billiard table is a premier league table so it's fast and accurate.

Nice friendly traditional pub with a bar billiard table.

Really enjoyed myself, great band 👌

Decent friendly pub - well worth a visit.

I used to be a Friday night regular here for ten years in the 90s-00s. It's a lot tidier and cleaner now and the toilets are a major improvement. Nice garden area with benches albeit the dog toilet gives it a slightly unpleasant smell. Good service and would return again.

Great friendly pub, with great selection of drinks. Bigger on the inside that it looks from the outside, with a nice large garden too.

This is my local and I love it. Really friendly staff and nice outside garden.

Nice warm welcome, friendly owners and we'll kept beer.

Lovely pub! I had a great time there

Nice pub covid secure great beer

Well run, brilliant staff, lovely atmosphere, great choice of beers

Nice friendly local with 2 separate bars selling good real ales

Great ales, great owners, live music and a bar billiards table, the full package

I have lived in Portslade all my life and never been here until today. What a brilliant local pub x

Friendly and brilliant staff drinks reasonable prices

Friendly staff. Great selection. Exciting entertainment. Well presented.

Nice beers, reasonable prices, good bands. Great local

Nice friendly atmosphere, new owners putting a fresh touch to the Hotel.

Great evening. Friendly atmosphere great band. Staff and Landlord A+++++.

Good food, good service and of course prices are very good.

Wonderful pub in the Old Village. Friendly and welcoming. And when the weather is good check out a beautiful and secluded garden. Highly recommended.

Me encontré con mis amigos el sábado por la noche, entré y el bar estaba muy ocupado y nadie se movió para que yo pudiera ir al bar a pedir una bebida, el personal del bar es muy encantador, pero siento que el pub se ha ido en los últimos 6 meses, siempre fue tan amable y simpático, ¡no sé lo que sucedió! Salieron corriendo de Pinot y el propietario le dijo que ¡oh bien! ! Seguramente no es la manera de tratar a un cliente que paga, y ¿cómo puede un pb quedarse sin vino blanco, preferiría usar el George de al lado?

Landlord so rude... last time I go in stag..

Amazing friendly local pub. Fabulous staff, really helpful. Great bands, especially on Sundays.

Este pub es hermoso desde el exterior, y el interior interior es encantador. . . . sin embargo, a menos que sea un habitual, no espere ningún tipo de servicio amable decente aquí. Tanto el personal del bar como el grupo de personas de pie alrededor del bar nos miraban y gritaban groseramente.

Friendly pub very quiet lunchtime, good selection of real ales

Great entertainment and friendly atmosphere

¡Qué pub tan ruidoso es este! Demasiados pubs se han mudado tan lejos de ser un pub, ¡es genial encontrar uno bueno! El personal del bar y el propietario son encantadores y realmente conocen su oficio. Gran selección de ale real, una excelente pinta de Guinness y mucha variedad desde la óptica del espíritu. ¡Definitivamente regresaré muy pronto! ! !

Always a nice welcome, good atmosphere.

First class pub. Bar staff happy. Good pint.

Great beer and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere.

Pretty and friendly little local pub with some great live music.

Hi everyone. My partner and I work hard to make this place a friendly and welcoming place to visit. We have a lovely bunch of locals here that are happy to have a chat with old faces as well new one's. We are also lucky enough to have fun, helpful and friendly staff who we value dearly. We pride ourselves on being a family run pub with a good selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. We are child and dog friendly and have recently spent a lot of time and effort on our beer garden which has gone down a treat. I love being a part of this wonderful pub. Kind regards from the landord and landlady.

Great local bar. Friendly happy staff, and music too!

Fantastic pub, great selection of beer & friendly bar staff, highly recommended

Great little pub, friendly people and attentive staff. Good price for a bottle of wine and good selection of beers and spirits. Outdoor smoking area and nice (ladies) loos

La primera vez en 20 años y quedé impresionado con el pub. Está bien diseñado buen servicio y buena cerveza. Buen ambiente.

Yo organizó para conocer amigos aquí pues debido a estar en la zona. No había estado en este lugar en concreto para alrededor de 15 años. Yo estaba muy contento de ver que ha cambiado considerablemente para mejor. El personal era muy amable y hablador. Había 3 cervezas en la bomba, incluyendo Harvey's, que estaba bien cuidado. Mis amigos son clientes habituales y cambiar una buena cantidad de bromas alegres con el personal, que fueron poniendo las decoraciones de navidad. Según mis amigos, hay frecuentes eventos de música. En general, un acogedor pub local. Una pequeña queja es que, durante la semana, cierran 3, que no bastante desalentaron la ocasión

The best beer, friendly atmosphere and a owners that knows about real ale! :)

Wow Susan Smith, anyone would think you were a little bitter about toy girl! and by the looks of things, you have been adolescently trying to sabotage local businesses with your key board frenzy....In other news, a more helpful review: This pub has a genuine friendly atmosphere, it is completely dog friendly and also very supportive of local bands. Their Jamming sessions on a Thursday is always busy (so any local artists that want a little session in with other musicians deffo give it a go). Service is always with a smile and the collection of Gin is an impressive one!

Great pub with lovely locals not full of young ones being loud! Quiet places to chill and if you book they do a Fantastic roast on Sundays. Could do with some work to make the beer garden a nicer place to sit but generally a good little pub.

Dog friendly local pub with a decent choice of drinks, regular live music and real ale festivals.

Lovely roast dinner, but check before hand as sometimes the kitchen is closed, they only do food on a Sunday. Well worth a visit though. Lovely welcoming pub with a great selection of Beers and spirits, also great music some weekends.

Friendly Landlord and staff. Spotlessly clean

Lovely welcoming pub in the heart of Portslade Old village. Recently under new ownership, the place has been transformed. Good selection of beers, with regular guest ales.

Was really sad when the kitchen closed because it had been good. So, really pleased to see that the Stag's kitchen is up and running again. Sunday roasts are excellent and the staff are really friendly - a good atmosphere, will certainly make it a regular stop!

Nice local. They usually have a decent selection of ales and operate a weekly quiz or two.

Great quiz on a Wednesday, and also a Tuesday now. The pub has new management, and is starting to have a nice atmosphere.

I went to the Stag's Head on a Sunday afternoon with my partner we tried the Sunday Roast and it was amazing! It was as good as it looked, ample portions of beef, potatoes, carrots, coliflower with cheese...It was delicious! I'll go back to try the chicken or lamb! Fantastic service too.

I can't believe this place seems to have closed - visited a couple of times and the food was brilliant. The new owners appeared to be doing such a good job and Sunday lunch times were really busy. A good price and close to home. Such a shame!

Anyone know what's happened? Pub all shut up and lights off tonight, a Friday and Halloween! Does this have something to do with the kitchen being closed a few weeks ago? Real shame if the new owners have gone already, as it was really good and I am surprised if they weren't making a profit on it. Facebook page seems to have gone, can't find any news about it anywhere!

Absolutely love the Stag. A proper pub with character and charm. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and on the ball as are the clientelle for that matter and if you want great food at very reasonable prices then this is your place.

5th visit today and I'm pleased to say it's still great. I've tried all the roast except the veggie option and all have been very tasty. But there is only one choice for me. The beef brisket is just gorgeous. Ample portion to leave room for a little dessert. Yummy chocolate brownie today. I've paid a lot more for roasts in Hove that don't come close to this. The old Stags head pub has thankfully changed a lot over the last few months and a large part of this is that the food menu has started bringing in a very different crowd and new faces. Martin (chef) and Kelly (waitressing) are great hosts. I'm just waiting for the next Steak and Lobster night now!

After hearing about the amazing food over at the stag, myself and my girlfriend paid a visit. We both had the Beef brisket and was blown away by the taste of the food. We were kindly offered the pork to sample also. The Chef paid us a visit and showed the customers that they were welcome, we felt right at home. After cleaning both of our plates, we went for the apple pie for desert. Amazing service and top quality food.

I moved into the village about a year ago and only recently started to visit this place as I'd heard terrible things about it and then it was closed for a while. Now it is back open with new management who are really trying to make a go of it. They have introduced a varied food menu (the chef is great) and redecorated the interior. I don't know if there were pool tables before but the sports bar now has 2 of them and regular competitions take place. Apparently the garden is being spruced up for summer and we can look forward to BBQ's in the sunshine. All this within crawling distance of my front door. Brilliant :)

The pub is under new management and has undergone quite a few changes. The delicious home cooked Sunday roasts are good value and use great quality produce. The garden out back has excellent potential and is currently being tamed so summer dining alfresco should soon be on the agenda. The evening menu served Tuesday to Saturday (and from midday on Friday and Saturday) features ribs & wings, home made burgers, slow cooked brisket chilli, pork chops with crackling mash and duck breast with blackberry sauce. The pub also has a sports bar with 2 pool tables, a dart board and terrestrial television. An added bonus is that it is dog friendly which is great if you want a quick drink & a bite after a nice walk over the downs.

Slow roast beef brisket with all the delicious trimmings, stuffing, Yorkshire, roast parsnip mmmmmmmm! Even braised red cabbage. Delicious, can't wait to go back!My 2 children cleared their plates too.Generous portions and a great price.

First time at The Stag and was very pleasantly surprised by the low prices on the menu. I opted for the chilli with Nachos and was not disappointed! The brisket had been slow cooked for hours and made for the most tender and flavoursome chilli I had had in a very long time. Pudding was a delicious bowl of honeycomb ice cream which I never wanted to end. A fab little pub with a welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff. Looking forward to trying the famous Sunday roast next!

This is a much improved pub in recent times. Friendly people. They have recently introduced a food menu. We tried the chilli, which to the credit of the enthusiastic chef was well presented and tasted good. Would have been happy to pay a bit more for a larger portion.Please continue to make improvements as it would be great to have a nice local.

The kitchen is super tasty new addition to this lovely local pub serving fantastic pub grub, a real hidden gem

Really good quality food, reasonbly priced, cooked to perfection. Without a doubt the best Sunday Roast Ive eaten in a long time. Have tried the Monday to Saturday menu too and havent been disappointed, highly recommended!Portslades hidden gem!

Recently had a much needed make over and new owners. Everyone needs to come back and try again.

Awful place, lacking any class or atmosphere - badly needs a decent makeover. Staff unfriendly and clientele from the Addams family. Not a bad pint of Harveys having said that. And now apparently CLOSED!
