| A short visit this past Sunday arriving at around 4pm found an impromptu open music session in the back room, with fiddles, guitars and a bodhran being played in an accomplished manner and warmly received by the small knot of drinkers crowded close to the roaring log fire. All the Abbeydale ales were on top form as usual and two or three lurchers draped themselves around the floor for people to pick their way over. Honestly, it really can't get much better than this.

| three stag head is to me the best pub of its type in these islands Its a pub that sticks to tradition with great company, food to die for, beer that is well kept and wonderful no crap larger or fizzy keg or musak instead people talk, bring instruments and play wonderful british folk music or sit quietly in front of the fire listening and watching the dogs play me I love the landlord and his wife they keep a pub that shines like beacon telling every one visit me then go home and your local landlord how to run his pub fotobrew1 - 3 May 2012 20:32 |
| Back again to one of England's finest pubs. This time as well as working our way through the Abbeydale range we enjoyed the excellent homemade food. As ever it's a special kind of welcome and the fellow drinkers always create a good chat. thewickingman - 15 Apr 2012 17:29 |

| I remember years ago before the present landlord took over this pub. Before then it was a run down extension of the farm behind it, used as an outlet for selling bacon. A kitsch mural at the back of the bar, the fireplace sealed up. Hardboard in abundance. It was so crude it transcended awfulness and was a delight to visit. Then a middle aged hippie couple bought it with ideas of restoring it. Up came the lino to reveal the flag floors, Opened up was the gigantic fireplace in a room no bigger than a domestic lounge. The barn to be converted into a trendy pottery. Oh Dear ! Would it now become a Disneyfied travesty of its former self. I feared the worst. I need not have worried. Once restored it entered a time warp whilst other pubs in the area succumbed to the disease of profiteering and pretentiousness canker. Any Disneyfication has disappeared with time and we have superlative ales at realistic prices, stone flag floors, people with boots on, dogs, a roaring fire, basic crude tables and even cruder stools, the proper amount of grubbiness, a grumpy ex hippy landlord - Absolute Heaven. Why am I writing this. It's vital that this place be kept secret. GeofB - 25 Mar 2012 09:48 |
