Once again we have had a smashing Sunday lunch take away today. Massive plates with so many lovely vegetables, Yorkshire puddings, meat and gravy. Vegetarian option too was very nice. Excellent food. With the added extra of after dinner mints enclosed too. We are very greatful for this service and also fantastic having the shop there to, Which is a credit to the village and surrounding areas. Please I encourage everyone to support the pub, especially now. Many thanks Georgie, wez and family x

I meet at the Stag with friends every six weeks or so for Sunday lunch. Always great food, generous portions and excellent value. The serving staff are invariably polite, attentive and efficient. Highly recommended.

Disappointing food, some of it was overcooked and some that should have been hot was cold...… Soft drinks served without ice and lime.... Not Good.....

An ideal stopping off point from the trials and tribulations of the A14 (J2 is one mile away)) and a haven for weary travellers. Good ale selection for non drivers and good, reasonably priced food. Lots of offers at various times in the week and boasts a real coffee shop with a real coffee machine along with take out options. Decent enough loo facilities and also a garden for when the Sun shines. Certainly beats motorway services or a dodgy roadside Costa.

The place is traditional and functional. The style is typical of a pub. The menu is rich and the dishes we chose were well cooked and elegantly presented. Only service could be improved with better organization.

Stopped off for some lunch on way home from Thetford. A lovely place, felt welcome as soon as we walked in. Staff were friendly and very polite. Food was lovely, big portion of fish and chips that I tried my best to finish. If passing again would definitely eat there.

Three of us had different mains and desserts in pleasant surroundings with good service. The food was nice and well-priced. It was a cold day, and the pub was a bit on the cool side - it would have been nice to see the stove lit.

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.

Called in here last night after our balloon flight at Hanging Haughton, pleasantly surprised, very welcoming by staff. Lovely meals, had the steak cooked just how I like it. Even locals were friendly. Only wished we lived nearer. (Coventry) If out that way again would revisit.

My second visit to the stag head, we had 2 nights B&B and enjoyed our stay, the accommodation was clean and tidy, the breakfast and the meal we had in the restaurant in the evening was very good, importantly the beer was good and the staff was friendly and quick at serving food, I can highly recommend a stay at the stag.

Went for a meal with friends. Food was good, service was good. The card machine wasn't working, which made a challenging end to the meal. They were in the process of redecorating, and it's looking good.
