Good Pub Guide Recommended

Terrific food using tip-top ingredients served in extensive dining rooms, real ales and a fine choice of other drinks, and two-acre garden; comfortable bedrooms
Obviously, the excellent food remains the main draw here (this is one of Britain's top dining pubs after all) but it's still very much a pub rather than a pure restaurant and the staff are genuinely welcoming and courteous. The little bar is comfortably hospitable with a civilised atmosphere, a fine collection of 200 jugs attached to the ceiling, Hobsons Best and Ludlow Gold on handpump, nine house wines by the glass (there's also a carefully chosen 100-bin list), local potato and apple vodkas, local gins, farm cider, and quite a choice of spirits. The two-acre garden has seats on the terrace and a croquet lawn. The accommodation is in bedrooms above the pub, as well as in the additional rooms in a Georgian vicarage four minutes' walk away; super breakfasts.

Good Pub Guide Food

Using their own-grown vegetables (they keep free-range chickens as well), the excellent inventive food includes some pubby dishes (not Saturday evenings or Sunday lunch) such as open sandwiches, devilled kidneys, home-made pork sausage and mash, and smoked haddock risotto. The more elaborate menu might have local snails with home-made chorizo and parmentier potatoes, seared scallops on parsnip purée, chicken breast with truffled mushrooms, jerusalem artichoke and dauphinoise potatoes, monkfish with a roast tomato and basil risotto, and duck breast, confit of duck leg, rhubarb and cider potato fondant; there are vegetarian choices, an amazing cheeseboard, home-made crisps, and a three-course Sunday lunch menu (£19.30).

Bar food times: not Sun evening or Mon

Stayed 2 night in late March, in the Old Vicarage. Superb room and location, but showing signs of ageing rugs and bedding as well as decoration; but garden (with own chickens safely kept) peace, views and ambience do make up for it. Food is excellent; choice is balanced, all locally sourced - pigs and chickens are kept for all their produce - the price is reasonable for the quality. As a regular Pub Guide stayer this rates in my top 5 in UK so far, and with the surrounding countryside unbeatable, The Stagg is wholly recommended.
