Great food, fair price, good service and nice decor.

The Three Stags, what a fantastic place! The redecoration and the change of management did wonders. The fact that it is now a gastro pub is a very welcome change - the food is absolutely delicious. The wine list is lovely and they even do cocktails! I love the new sumptuous decor - it's much more intimate and cosy. Last but not the least, the music is really cool. It's pretty obvious that the new owners are passionate about what they do. I will be definitely coming there more often.

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!
