A Northamptonshire Country Pub with a Difference

We are delighted to be re-opening our doors to our valued customers and new customers. Please take a moment to read our Re-Opening information for the safety of yourself and our team here. We will be of course following the Government’s guidelines to ensure your visit is enjoyable and safe. We have erected a marquee in our garden and tables are set ready for table service only – we are hoping for some nice weather so that customers can enjoy dining & drinking in our lovely garden and safely inside.

Our Convenience shop now provides essentials such as milk, bread, flour, sugar, eggs and basic provisions. This is proving very popular and we are hoping to expand on this and our offering in the future. Of course our Coffee Shop is also open for Take Away only – entry to this will be through the coffee shop entrance in the car park and we will operate a one way entry/exit for this service.

Please bear with us while we re-adjust to being fully open again and give us at least 20 minutes notice with your order. Please be kind to our staff and report anything you deem unsafe or unclean – don’t go home, write war & peace on Facebook or TripAdvisor. We are a small business and our reputation is important to us! We may well make mistakes but, we need to learn from these, address it and move on. Thank you in advance for your patience whilst we adjust and put the new systems in place.

What our customers say

In these difficult times, a refreshingly enjoyable evening The pub has put all the necessary COVID requirements in place but these are not overpowering and our party of seven (split over two tables) had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and an excellent meal. We were able to relax and enjoy the occasion (daughters' birthdays) - friendly staff and great service. Well done, especially in these troubled times.
David Bvia TripAdvisor
Stopped here for food after doing the 12 mile Maidwell circular walk. Was very happy with the ribs and the service. COVID secure with plenty of space and sanitiser near entrance.
Bradley Gendersvia Google
Stopped off at this pub on our way back from Kelmarsh Tunnel on a Friday lunchtime, the pub was very quiet so we were unsure what to expect. We were not disappointed ! Burger and Chips, absolutely spot on - staff very friendly - social distancing had clearly been thought about (although not an issue during this quiet lunchtime). Give them a go ! you won't be disappointed.- good value, and definately good fresh tasty food.

Just been over to the Stag for family lunch. As before it was very good. Friendly, good food and we could take the dog and two small children.
P Robinsonvia TripAdvisor
We had been bought a ‘rural hotel break’ as a Christmas present last year and booked 2 nights here. It is such a lovely place, really friendly and welcoming staff, feels like a real home from home. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Food is delicious and reasonably priced, good portion sizes and service is excellent. Good choice of drinks. There was live music on the Saturday evening which was great. Nice big beer garden too and lots of parking space, also on bus route to Market Harborough, Leicester and Northampton. Close to lots of things to do and lovely countryside. Highly recommended
Wendie Hvia TripAdvisor
My husband and l have just moved to the area and thought we would try The Stag. We visited the pub last night and we were not disappointed! Great food and very friendly, helpful staff, including the landlord, who served our delicious steak. We will definitely return to The Stag in the not too distant future. We don’t tend to eat out too often but we are going to make it a regular occurrence from now on.
Sue Bradyvia TripAdvisor

Martin Twortvia Google
I absolutely love this village pub. My mountain bike group often meet here and Robert is always friendly and welcoming. We, as a group often eat here too. The quality is always good and value for money. Whether you are a family out on a bike ride on the nearby Brampton Valley or your a business man flying down the A14. This place is always worth stopping at to refuel.

Friendly staff and a really nice pint. Will visit them again soon.
