It seems since the last review The Three Stags has had a face and personality lift. I was there on Saturday and it was absolutely lovely. The decor is funky/ traditional, the food amazing and the wine fabulous, I wasn’t familiar with any of the wines with so just went for the house white which was so good I stuck to it all afternoon. I ended up spending a good few hours in there chilling out, there’s a great mixture of people in there, tourists, locals, young and old – it’s great for people watching and has a really friendly vibe. I got chatting to the bar staff and discovered it's under new ownership and had just that day re-opened after a re-furb, which inspired me to write this review because if you’re in the area you should check it out – for the food alone if nothing else

I had a lovely starter of Smoked Trout Pate (£4.50-ish), followed by a supremely tasty pasta with a stuffed baked mini pumpkin in the centre (about £9.50) and for desert a chocolate nutty tart with orange crème fresh sauce (can’t remember how much it cost but it rocked my world at the time!). There were lots of dishes I wanted to try so can foresee another visit coming up very soon!

The Three Stags is a gem! I have visited this pub several times to enjoy a glass of wine and the specials of the day in the warm, relaxed atmosphere. Jazz nights on a Monday at The Three Stags is fantastic.

The Three Stags is not a proper traditional boozer nor a nice modern one. It seems in my opinion to simply be a place to rip off tourists with very average (if not very poor) food, very overpriced and very expensive beer (Stella was £2.95 per pint). The staff at The Three Stags were rude and didn't speak enough English to understand my order whereas the chap I took to be the manager just sat at the bar with a glass of wine and barked orders at them. The Three Stags is a very odd place - grubby, expensive and badly run. I won't be visiting again.

The Three Stags is a decent pub - has good Guinness and interesting live music a couple of times a week. The manager seems fine to me. The Three Stags is worth a visit especially if something is on.
