| Visited on a Friday lunchtime and we were the only people there. Seems an interesting old pub though and the Shepherd Neame Porter was excellent. Floyd - 28 Dec 2007 15:51 |
| What a shame. Excellent pint of beer in a nice old pub.( Except for the fridge freezer stuck in the corner of the back room ) Served by rude and impolite staff. Garden could be wonderful, but is a complete mess, with horrible plastic plants! Dirty ashtrays, and dirty glasses seemed to have been there a few days! Considering it is quite a way from the main pub circuit, you would think they would make more effort. Won't be visiting again. aliwoo - 12 Jun 2007 20:43 |
| Popped in over the weekend to sample food and ale. Both were of a decent standard and I would recommend it as a pub on the 'Grand Tour Pub Crawl' for ales and for the Olde Look and feel of the pubbe and buildings as you walk up to it. The mummified cats add to the charm of the place too. The pub is situated towards the top end of All Saints Street, keep sea behind you and it is on the right. pint_o_mild_please - 30 May 2007 12:57 |
| A fine pub, and perhaps the most typically "traditional" in Hastings Old Town with its wooden floor, genuine beams and two open fire places (sadly neither appear ever to be in use!). Other points it The Stag's favour are a good atmosphere, friendly staff, enjoyable regular folk and quiz nights, a decent back room for darts and a good and reasonably priced menu. It is also far away enough from the sea front so as not to allow too much riff raff in even when it is busy over peak times such as the May Day bank holiday. However, despite the fine building (which is the biggest plus) it does suffer from the rather unavoidable fact that is a Shepherd Neame pub (one of many in the Old Town, and one generally being enough per county). Although the beer is kept very well (probably the best Shepherd Neame in Hastings) it is still Shepherd-bloody-Neame (!) and is not that cheap (which could be avoided!). The other main draw-back is that the back room has also been tarted up in the last year or so to give it a more "contemporary" feel; the leather sofa and cocktail bar style stools do not really suit the place and it was much better and far more unique when it the now disposed of bar billards table was allowed to dominate the area. However, when its not too packed it still makes an excellent place to play darts. As regards the garden, I have never been a great fan of it. It is open in the summer months and is certainly long and with a fair capacity. Nonetheless, it is a little unkempt and rather too much of a climb which puts you at too great a distance from the pub to enjoy its atmosphere if you happen to be near the top end. Personally, I'd rather stay inside! All in all, the Stag is a very good pub, but I would only recommend spending an entire evening in there for the live music, or if yopu don't mind Shepherd Neame. Good for a few drinks, but pop across to the FILO and its beer for a full session. Beerhead1 - 19 Oct 2006 15:22 |
| Came here in the middle of the Jack-in-the-Green celebrations. Given a warm welcome and a perfect pint of Early Bird. For fans of the weird, there are some mummified mammal finds in a case on the wall. For the fresh air fans there is a sloping beer garden. This place is lovely! BettyPage - 14 May 2006 11:38 |
