Set in the beautiful and tranquil village of Mentmore, The Stag is the perfect place to escape from the fast pace of modern living. We are a Local Pub, a Cocktail Lounge and a Quality Restaurant - all under one magnificent roof.
Froggy's Bar with its nostalgic photos, real log fire and proper pub food is the perfect place to experience a quintessentially English pub, There is beautifully kept real ale, traditional pub games and plenty of banter.
The Cocktail Lounge is where we spoil you. As you enter, you will be shown to a table and offered the drinks menu. You can choose one of our house cocktails, a glass of champagne or your favourite tipple. Treat yourself to a few fresh oysters or, in the evening, just sit back and enjoy listening to our pianist on our beautiful baby grand
Our Restaurant serves only the best. The freshest produce lovingly transformed, by our chefs, into a meal to remember. Not for us the smidgens of smudges and fancy foams. We are all about the flavours, and food that fully satisfies your appetite. We believe vegetables should accompany your meal as standard and we promise that you will never go home hungry!!
Whichever part of The Stag suits your mood, our friendly staff will provide a warm welcome and the very best in customer service. Its a place where your comfort and your opinions really matter, and where you can escape the hectic, or the humdrum, and relax in style.

I'm always a happy customer of The Stag. The menu was a bit restricted on this December visit as they were serving Christmas dinners for larger groups alongside other "normal" diners. I'm scoring a little less for the atmosphere on this visit for the same reason. Staff are universally helpful and the food was, as always, delicious
A beautiful pub in a beautiful village! The multi-level gardens are a fantastic place to relax and enjoy a glass of champagne with friends before going in for dinner. We came here to celebrate some friends birthdays, and had a brilliant time. The staff were all fantastic, and we kept them on their toes with our enthusiastic drinking! The food was beautifully presented. I had the cheese custard to start, as the rest of the table ordered the Salmon and I wanted to see something different! The Salmon looked great and the others loved it, the cheese custard was presented immaculately, but was perhaps a big heavy/large for a starter and could do with a few more flavours/textures as it was a bit monotonous at the end to eat. For mains, we had the curried haddock and the steak. Both were perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! We then had some cocktails to finish the meal off. They don’t have a large selection, and were apprehensive of making anything out of their staple, even when given the ok to watch YouTube and have a go 😂 the cocktails they do serve, however are well presented, and could knock out a concrete donkey! All in - a brilliant place to go to relax in the beer garden, or for a special occasion. We’ll be back!
This delightful refurbished pub on the Mentmore estate is well worth a visit. Built in 1840’s by Baron Rothschild the interior has been tastefully modernised with pastel shades and wallpapers in a shaker contemporary style. There are local works of art as well as eclectic memorabilia. The staff are professional and beautifully attired in corporate uniform. The interior has intimate tables arranged in a thoughtful fashion throughout the large dining area. There is a beautiful garden with a tiered dining area. The food is glorious and presented to a very high standard for connoisseurs of fine dining, but the Stag also offers afternoon teas and coffee. The menu is comprehensive as well as the wine list. The pub is community owned and not affiliated to any brewery. The location is on the Rothschild estate and is a wonderful place for country walks. The house Mentmore Towers is closed to visitors and currently unoccupied and is a superb nineteenth century revival of Tudor and Jacobean architecture. Many major movies have been filmed there. Close by they have been filming ‘Wicked’ delayed by the writers strike.
Great staff that were bothered about providing good service, which is sadly rare these days. Good coffee, nice wine, and perfect food. My only gripe is having only one choice of desert being gf. Most things can be made without gluten that doesn't compromise on the taste and then jokers like me can have choice. Brilliant place 👏
I went to the Stag at Mentmore for the Sunday roast and the food, service, atmosphere were excellent. We really enjoyed lamb and the vegetarian option. The Elton’s mess was great too. It was a little more expensive than I was expecting with the size of the portion but that’s to be expected with such good quality.
