| As previously stated the Windsor Pub Co now own The Stag, However the same Bar Staff seem to be there and the London Pride still excellant at £2.75 a pint (Adnams Broadsword and a Cider also available on Hand Pump). However I feel I must advise readers of two areas of concern since my January Visit. One some of the Bar staff do not know the meaning of a "Pint" I went to the Bar on two occassions for Three pints and had to ask all the pints to be topped up on both visits. they were all at least a quater of an inch short.. Also being a Friday Night every table both inside and out were occupied except one, great we thought even though it was outside the Kitchen. Then we knew why, the kitchen staff had music (well really it was just a loud Noise) playing at full volume which when the door opened drowned out all conversation and the pubs background music.Take a tip from me and stay clear of the rear seating area. New menu now with some exciting and reasonably priced dishes on it. Well worth a return visit. Drunken_Duck - 23 May 2009 09:33 |
| As previous comments state, this pub has been recently taken over by the Windsor Pub Co. I have never been a fan of pub chains (however small). The beer here has always been fairly good and there has never been a problem swapping beers over in the case of a dodgy one. For the non-beer drinking fraternity there is also excellent Guinness and a good selection of lagers as well as a very good selection of wines. Definitely not a choice of red or white here! Quiz nights on Tuesday are enjoyable and extremely competitive. I have had several “snack” meals here recently and found them to be good. They have recently cleaned the place up. The antique champagne boxes in the walls have been cleaned up and the black and white paint has been removed. I think it is a case of “watch this space” to see how this pub develops. I am certainly not anti-Welsh, being part welsh myself however I am quite glad to an improvement all around since the previous manageress has left. colen - 11 Apr 2009 13:14 |
| Ate in here for the fist time in about six months recently - beer was fine but the food was still dire and we complained. Met the new manager who apologised profusely for the quality of the food, refunded more than we had spent and bought us a round. Can't his attitude to customer service which was a marked improvement on the previous management. It's been taken over by Windsor Pub Co who run the Royal Oak, St. George, Horse & Groom and Bar 51. Not sure yet whether this is a change for the better but we'll give it another go in a few weeks. choir_boy - 23 Mar 2009 13:25 |
| I was last here in July 2008 and November 2008 (see reviews), went back again last night and had a great night again (vast improvement) cannot compare the past like moggymooe can as I last used this pub at lunch times when I worked in the area about 25 years ago. However comparing it with November It was just as good. Not a spare seat in the house for most of the night and plenty more standing. Good, Quick service (if a little unfriendly in that the BArman never spoke or raiseda smile)., however the empties were quickly removed from the tables and the London Pride was Excellant and you now get a full pint without question. Will be back in the summer Drunken_Duck - 31 Jan 2009 09:03 |
| WHAT THE HELL HAS HAPPEND TO THE STAG!!!! I pass through Datchet frequently on business and used to look forward to stopping off for a spot of lunch and the friendly welcome, i couldn't belive the drastic change of the place, the food was nowhere near the standards and was very overpriced and the welcome was non exsistant compared to when the welsh land lady had it before !!!!!! It's a shame that the family run pub's are being bought out by the bigger companies, they will be sorley missed. If any one can let me know where they haved moved to and if they are still in the business i would be truly grateful as i will be taking my custom elsewhere (to them) and im sure a few others will be to. moggymoo - 30 Jan 2009 16:38 |
