The Stags Head — Restaurant in Stratford-on-Avon

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with my recent experience at The Stag's Head. My visit was marred by both exorbitant pricing and, more disturbingly, blatant discriminatory behavior on the part of the management.

Firstly, the pricing is simply outrageous. To charge £5.50 for a small can of Red Bull is not only unreasonable but borders on exploitative. However, this pales in comparison to the abhorrent treatment my friend and I received. My friend, who is of Greek descent, was singled out and subjected to harassment by the manager solely based on his ethnicity. This individual refused to serve him, creating a hostile and discriminatory environment that is completely unacceptable.

However might i add that this hostile attitude was only received from the manager of the establishment. The bar maid that served us was pleasant and understanding.

Upon receiving our pints we sat outside and were immediately hit with more hostility after the manager stormed outside and accused us of purchasing and giving one of our alcoholic beverages to my greek friend which was completely incorrect. As we were drinking our drinks we were intensely being watched by not only the management staff but also a select number of customers which we caught relaying lies and rumours to the staff. One in particular that stood at us was an elderly gentleman who was sat at the table across from us, who when the manager came out and threw accusations at my greek friend, we over heard saying “i saw those maniac youths gave that greek a pint” which once again was factually incorrect.

Such behavior is not only morally reprehensible but also potentially illegal and this is not what we wish to expect when spending our own money for their services. I am appalled that in this day and age, a business would allow such prejudice to dictate its service. I strongly advise anyone considering visiting The Stag's Head to reconsider, as you may find yourself subject to similar discriminatory treatment. I will be taking this...

I give this establishment 2 stars because I enjoyed the chocolate fudge cake with custard dessert!

Shepherd's pie an epic failure, although it was served warm enough it didn't look appetising! It was sloppy like semolina and oily too, the mash just sunk into slop! New potatoes looked a bit green. I understand that it's hard to cook shepherd's pie but stags head, if you haven't got a super oven?? to make it crispy then you should take it off the menu!! Maybe I should of took a picture but wouldn't want to put off anyone off their dinner.

I rarely ever make bad reviews but I felt that complaining was not wanted in this little boozer! I wasn't asked if everything was ok!??! Then made a hint by saying that I would probably eat all of the dessert instead of sharing with my lady to make up for dinner, the response I got back was dismissal laugh (the bar lady server probably felt awkward)

It was generous to give two stars considering that a baby moth was in my sample of bitter which in effect made me choose another bitter, and even when I chose another bitter it was more like ice cream than the doombar bitter I know! Ha ha Oh well, I wouldn't recommend Stags head or come back in a hurry! The good reviews I presume could be from the locals as I believe it probably doesn't have much passing trade!

This review could have been avoided if only I had some Customer service concern by leaving most of my dinner as a...

We stayed for long weekend, Fri to Mon, in twin en-suite room.||||The people were sociable, friendly and overtly helpful.||Absolutely no complaint, only praise here.||The pub is a great pub for locals and has a reasonable choice of beer.||Very nice sheltered beer garden.||||The evening food however was only just acceptable, if that, fish in overcooked batter and poor chips with peas only. We only eat in just the once.||The full English(?) breakfast on Saturday was poor, under cooked tomato with most unpleasant sausage.||Subsequent breakfasts were better since we asked only for eggs on toast only arriving cooked perfectly on white toast only.||||The room. Beds fine. Shower and bath good. Toilet seat has had lessons from Arkwright's till! Very uncomfortable if you dared to move whilst reading the paper!!||The other somewhat unpleasant situation was the TV and its position. Minuscule 14"? TV mounted high up in one corner of room with no chairs to sit in required trying to sit up in bed craning neck to watch. The rat's nest of cables did nothing to increase its appeal.|| All in all, not a pleasant stay and at £70/night not good...
