"Not been here before but previous reviews regarding the landlady are borne out in my visit. Visited at the weekend, consequently very busy and very noisy. Menu is more interesting than most pubs although I cannot say the food was especially good, though not bad. Seems to depend on which dish you choose. Service from the young staff was good, no long delays. The landlady seemed fine too, until it was time to get the bill. I went to the bar where everyone behind it was busy. I waited for a few minutes, then, beginning to feel invisible, I waved discreetly to the landlady, who was doing something with glasses and talking to customers she obviously knew. She said these people were waiting too, although I couldn't see anyone serving them. I simply asked her to prepare my bill as soon as she was ready. It was brought to my table fairly quickly so no complaints there. But when I went to pay it she seemed happy to ignore me once more, again while doing stuff with glasses. Fortunately one of the young staff was able to show her how customer service should be done and took my payment. The landlady's attitude seems so unnecessary. Perhaps she regarded us as tourists, though we are relatively local. Bein local I know better pubs in the area and won't be returning to the Stag."
