We were a group of 6 friends visiting this wonderful pub in North Devon. Everything was perfect from the hosts and the cheerful and friendly staff to the superb food. My personal favourite was the pork tenderloin in a Stilton sauce served with scalloped potatoes and fresh vegetables - just to die for. There was a delicious selection of puddings too. I think I can safely say that we can’t wait for the next visit.

Large group of us went for lunch, so hiccups were expected but there were none. Service was slick and organised without the national cry of 'sorry we're short staffed' I had crumbed brie wedges to start, followed by pork loin in a Stilton sauce, finishing with bread and butter pudding and custard. All cooked to perfection and super yummy. As I looked around the room i noticed many clean plates going back to the kitchen at the end if the meal.😁 Ample parking, wheelchair accessible, clean toilets. Woukd definitely recommend and will visit again

One of the most varied menus locally that isn't the "run of the mill" choices that their local competitors offer. I would thoroughly recommend the Half duck or Venison Haunch to name just a couple, so many others to suggest. Great service from the staff always friendly and efficient. Such an atmospheric pub in a quiet part of North Devon. If you're in the area try it but be sure to book first.

As ever a delicious home-cooked meal with a lovely dessert to follow. I had roast Turkey with all the trimmings (never too early), followed by a home-made Lemon and Ginger cheesecake. My mum settled for a steak and red wine pie, which she said was really nice as well; ate the whole lot (and she she doesn't have the largest of appetites) Friendly, efficient service with a very generously apportioned meal to boot!

This place is phenomenal! About a month ago, my boyfriend and I were visiting from California and a friend of mine (who lives locally) took us to this place. I was blown away with absolutely everything. And I LOVED that for a lot of the dishes we could order half portions (so then we got to try more dishes). While everything was seriously amazing, stand outs for me were the venison and the mussels... especially the mussels, wow. I'm actually a little worried I will never have mussels that good ever again, as this place is a little far to go on the regular for me lol. If you live close by or are in the area, I 100% recommend you go here. Sue and her team are amazing. I have no doubt they will make you feel welcome and give you top service and food.

My wife had the Mediterranean fish stew. A bowl overflowing with delicious mussels, monkfish prawns. Sunday we had a traditional Sunday Lunch, again a delicious meal. The staff were courteous, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. This Pub restaurant is truly a gem. I heartily recommend it. You will not be disappointed.

Arrival was unwelcoming Food was lukewarm. Main meal, everthing including the vegetables were already on the plate, so customer doesn't have a choice of what they want. Gravy very strong which was also on the plate and to much of it. Any queries were dealt with the staff very abruptly to the point of rude, throughout. Definitely would not recommend. Expensive experience

We were really excited to be having a date night here this evening as we had heard the food was amazing in there, but sadly for us the food was just average and the bar maid that served us was the rudest waitress I’ve ever come across. You could tell she was in a bad mood the moment we walked in there. She had no customer service skills at all. And she wasn’t like that with us, we noticed her being short and snappy with every customer, she topped it off when we paid our bill when she couldn’t even be bothered to thank you for our custom. The food was only average which was disappointing as everyone had told us the food was amazing but it looked like the mushrooms had come out the freezer along with the sautee potatoes. Highly disappointed and would definitely not recommend. After paying a £60 bill it would have been nice to get a thank you for our customer!

As per your reply if your staff looked approachable I would have. Tbh you don’t seem to take criticism well as I have read other reviews about your staff being rude and obviously you haven’t tackled the problem. I can only imagine most of the reviews are people you know. We didn’t even get a thank you or asked how the meal was - maybe I would have told you it wa snot great but we couldn’t wait to get out of there

We popped into here on the off chance, during a Wednesday lunchtime in February. There's plenty of free parking available on site, and the staff are friendly and welcoming, providing a good service. We had 2 drinks, a prawn baguette, and a smoked salmon starter, which was £25. The food was plentiful and delicious. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on short leads in the bar area only. We hadn't booked a table, but there were a few people eating, so I would imagine that it does get busy. It was a great place to visit.

Excellent venue and food. One of my favourite venues in North Devon. The food is wonderful but as with many restaurants the prices are creeping up. In my original review now updated here, I raised an issue with the gents toilet. Sue Prior (the proprietor) thanked me for raising the issue and assured me that the matter had been addressed. It has. The gents now clean and well presented. I believe this indicates to me the caring that your host has for her clientele. 5 stars for the Stags Head from me, try it and see if you agree.

Two of our group ordered Sue’s amazing fish stew and had scallops to start followed by an excellent cheese board. The pork tenderloin in a Stilton sauce and the pork combo were both delicious. We can’t praise this restaurant enough. Sue is a wonderful chef and the Stags Head is a beautiful building in lovely surroundings.

We were visiting with friends who know The Stag Inn so decided to eat here on a busy Saturday evening. The menu offered plenty of choice. Everything freshly cooked to order. I enjoyed the delicious Fish Bake followed by the world’s best meringues that were perfectly soft and chewy in the middle. 10/10. As we were there for a few days, we went back for Sunday roast. Again an excellent meal. Clearly a popular destination for Sunday lunch as the place was very busy again. A very welcoming proper pub offering proper food. I recommend!

We live in South Molton and even though we had not been for some time, booked for an evening meal on Saturday. We were given a time of 7.15...when we arrived all the tables were occupied (pub opened at 7p.m) Between ordering and receiving our meals it was obvious that they were overbooked! Everyone seemed to be waiting for their meals & the young servers were almost running to get food out together with lots of apologies! (They were doing their best) To cut a long story short we were served our meals at 8.45!!! And then to cap it all one of our steaks was tough and not acceptable. We were offered a free sweet or a bottle of wine but were so disappointed we did not except...at least they only charged for 3 meals. Overall a very poor outing indeed. Other customers were mostly local and like ourselves will not be returning....

We decided to stop off here on our journey from North Devon to Wiltshire - we wanted a proper meal rather than a sandwich or service station offering. I looked it out from Tripadvisor maps, whilst in the car, and rang to book en route. It was a wee detour from the main road, but it was worth it. We all really enjoyed our main courses - clean plates all round. Sadly we needed to keep going so couldn't linger over a pudding.

Avoid at all costs. Whilst enjoining a well deserved family stay after months of being extremely unwell we decided to give this place a visit as from th outside it looks warm and cosy but as soon as we stepped in we were welcomed with a frosty atmosphere, the older lady with short blonde hair is so rude she shouldn’t work with the public she made us feel ao uncomfortable. We bought drinks and literally 6 minutes later were told we had to ‘sit outside’ as the pub was shutting, we was not made aware of this, not to mention it was torrential rain outside with no shelter. Im sad as in covid these places where desperate begging the government for support and now there turning away paying customers.

This hidden Gem is the type of pub you would love to discover, just off the main road through Filleigh North Devon. We were welcomed by smiling staff , and chose from a surprisingly long list of home cooked dishes. Three of us chose omelettes which were simply the best ever. We rounded off the meal with the selection of deserts ,puddings and ice creams.. The staff make everyone , including our Dachshund , feel welcome, if you are in the area this is definitely not to be missed.

We ate here twice last week whilst on holiday in Woolacombe. Food was excellent. We sampled six different meals from the menu. Everything was perfect, piping hot and served quickly. One night the chef hung on for us to arrive. Very accommodating and look forward to returning when visiting again.
