If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We went for lunch here on Sunday and we called 20 mins before, our mistake, but the waiter was very accommodating and reserved a table for us! Now, when we arrived we were greeted and shown our seats and instantly made to feel at home. The waiter then came over to take our order and we of course had to go with the roast! But my mum doesn’t eat too much and so she (the waiter) recommended to go with the kids portion as it’s more than plentiful. The food arrived quickly and even with an extra serving of potatoes (which I’ll get onto) from the kitchen! The meal was served with lots of laughter and good vibes thanks to the cosy atmosphere of the Pub. The roast itself was amazing; I had the gammon, it was thinly cut which wasn’t usually how I have it but was definitely delicious. The sides of shaved parsnips and stuffing as well as veg medley partnered with the food perfectly. Now the potatoes, the star of the show, I don’t know how they made these but they were super crispy and crunchy on the outside and super super soft on the inside. The best potatoes I’ve had hands down and they definitely knew it as well! From the start to the end of the meal, everything was perfect! Thanks again! Will definitely recommend going with family, friends or even by yourself! (No shame)

I think we’ve found our new favourite roast and a great midway point to meet family! Quite a last minute impromptu phone call and we were squeezed in for a Sunday Roast. Our greeting was warm and friendly and this continued with the service throughout. The food was sublime, definitely the best roast we’ve had in a long time. Just trying to find another weekend when everyone’s off work to meet in the middle again!

Fantastic afternoon in the stag. Extremely well set up family pub restaurant. Everything on point. Food beverages service and hospitality. Great facilities outdoors for all plus pet friendly. Would recommend to all. The only way is Ongar. Most of reviews are out of date since new owner took over in march just before lock down. Mick is an exceptional landlord and know his business, hope he stays for a long time.

Delicious food, lovely location & EXCELLENT customer service! We felt that the whole team at the Stag constantly looked after us & our guests and we honestly couldn’t ask for more. We had a wonderful day and that’s all thanks to them! Many thanks to Chris & his team. This was a very special occasion and somehow you managed to make it even more special. Thank you!

This was an exceptional lunch time stop. The pub was very well run and quite relaxed at this difficult time. The locals were extremely polite and helpful, as I had been walking and got lost. The landlady helped charge my phone, whilst I enjoyed a very nice couple of hours. Thanks to all especially dear old Ron.
