We had traveled a long way and pulled off the motorway to have some food. When we asked if they were still serving, we were abruptly told yes but be quick as we stop taking orders in 10min.
Having menus passed to us she then went on to say oh and if you order it’s going to be a long wait !!
We felt that they just didn’t want our order, so just had a quick drink and left . Another couple came in a few minutes after us and were given the same welcome and response, again they felt awkward and just ordered a drink and packet of crisps !!!
They are losing good business by treating travellers this way. We will not go back

Just had Sunday lunch with the family at The Stag and enjoyed it so much i felt that they deserved a mention on here.
The staff were really friendly and accomodating, the atmosphere was warm, comfortable and welcoming, and the food was great too.
We had a lovely Sunday roast, well cooked and great portions, with really indulgent desserts and all reasonably priced.
Would highly recommend a trip here for a relaxed Sunday afternoon!

Upon entering the pub, one can't help but appreciate the decoration that surrounds the space. The staff have a warm and welcoming demeanor, contributing positively to the overall experience. Our visit was timed for an early lunch, coinciding with the lighting of the fireplace. As a result, the initial ambiance was somewhat cooler than expected, likely due to the timing of our arrival in relation to the fire being kindled. This minor aspect, however, does not significantly detract from the charming and inviting atmosphere of the pub.

Food & drinks: Very good “home cooked” pub food.

Situated just by the side of the A508 approx 15mins from Northampton is the Stag. Booked a table for 4 on a Thursday lunch and it was surprisingly busy, a good sign
Had a pint of Southwold whilst waiting for my meal. Opted for the Wagu burger and pulled pork, I thought delicious, the others in the party had fish and chips, chilli and gammon. All of us had a good meal. For afters I had a caramel type pud which was lovely.
The one thing about this pub is prices are very sensible.

Excellent little pit-stop just off the A14. Can't comment on the rooms as we didn't stay, but it was a pretty place with pleasant surroundings and a lovely cosy pub with friendly staff. Recommend.

Food & drinks: I was very impressed with the amount of choice for vegetarians and vegans, especially for a country pub. Food came out fairly promptly and was of a high standard.

When it is a miserable wet night and you don’t want to cook or shop after work The Stag produced a warming meal of Steak and Ale Pie and Fish Pie.
So reasonably priced, promptly delivered in a nice warm and cosy environment and lovely lady at the bar - M - you know who I mean.
Thank you .

First time visit to this Pub. We found the inside pleasant and a good selection of beers and wines. However we were served by a young lady, who we found unwelcoming and very abrupt! There was no smile or polite conversation and at times, rather rude! We decided to order fish and chips and sadly this was about as sad as the bar staff! The fish was extremely watery and could be spread like butter! We did mention this to a member of staff, who said ,it depends on who's cooking in the kitchen! Clearly we visited on the wrong evening! I later ordered cheese cake and wished I hadn't. I have no idea, what was served to me but it wasn't pleasant! I have read many of the owner responses, to criticism of his establishment. So before you decide to attack another customer! Please veiw my review as constructive and not as another moaning keyboard warrior, as you called one customer in response!

Food excellent
Employee attitude excellent
Disabled attitude poor
Landlord - O.M.G.

Be aware front parking is reserved for Audis and other cars worth at least £30K. If you park anything else in sight of the road then the landlord will come out and demand you move it out of sight.

If you are disabled and try to park your mobility van near the entrance he will come out a SECOND time to tell you to move it AGAIN. Note it is not because of size as our Vito is a SWB and fits inside a normal car park space. Oh and once inside the Landlady will happily watch you struggle down steep steps to the Ladies WC rather than tell you where the disabled one is. Note we chose here because it advertised disabled access.

The food is excellent - well the main course is as we were so unwelcome we paid quickly for the food so we could go quickly. If it wasn't for the case of having to find somewhere to eat off the A14 we would have just walked out. But disabled people have to put up and "make do" often even in this "enlightened" age.

This would be a really nice place if it was run by the employees themselves and no it wasn't busy; we were actually there at opening time :-(

Walkability: There is disabled access but you have to find it yourself
