Out and About in Northamptonshire

Our Garden

Our Garden Terrace provides the perfect setting for enjoying a light lunch or evening meal.

With spacious grass areas and patio, The Stag provides extensive outdoor facilities to cater for all needs.

The area is famous for its cycle tracks and walks and therefore we often entertain groups of ramblers and cyclists who are always welcome to come and relax in comfort and of course try our range of quality ales and pub food.
