Took our daughter for a birthday lunch after reading other reviews on line. Really nice looking pub with lots of parking. Food was superb and very friendly staff. Definitely will visit again when we are next in Northamptonshire.

The Pub itself is a piece of art,lovely staf, garden, street view, big car park, lovely design inside. I didn't try the food, but i heard it is delicious. Staff are very friendly and helpful . Great variety of lagers and beers, local beers, and other soft drinks . Inside on a very hot day is like an oasis in the desert, thanks to the air conditioning. Lovely pub, i will definitely go again, especially to try the food too. I will update this review with food information later on. I hope it was helpful for you. Let me know in a comment. Have a great day, and if you drive, remember the alcohol limit is there for a reason.

Easy to find on the main road through, and on the corner. The postcode via sat nav didn't take us straight there, but stay on the road.. Plenty of parking. Dogs welcome. A bar area , although it's mainly eating areas with tables. The food was nice and came out with rocket speed. Nice restaurant decor. My only criticism would be the attentiveness of the staff. Our drinks order was forgotten. Our sauces were forgotten. Then the wrong sauce arrived. We seemed to be served by 4 different people.... maybe have the same person serving the same table, then things wouldn't get forgotten!!!

Love this place. Very nice and cosy inside, great garden. Dog friendly. Good food, reasonable prices. Update 18.11.22: Yet another great evening at this place. Such lovely staff and great food. Doggy enjoyed his nicely selected treats. Thanks again guys 🐾

Excellent quality of food and service. Food was delicious, potion size was very good for the price charged. The staff were very attentive and on the ball when a slight mistake had been found on the menu (minor typo). But it was spotted very promptly by the chef and my daughter was informed straight away before any food had been served or even prepared, the chef offered my daughter the same dish with an alternative sauce/dressing on which she could have with no problems, sir thank you for your help and support in this matter. As I have already said the quality of the food cannot be faulted. The prices are very competitive for the quality and quantity of the food. For two 2 course meals and one dessert plus two gin and lemonade and two bottles of alcohol free beer all for less than £80. Excellent Congratulations to you all front and back of house you work together as one big happy family and team. We will be back to sample more of your wonderful food and atmosphere. Thanks for all your support today 😊

Beautiful pub with delicious food and friendly staff. We really appreciated the amount of veggie/vegan options and glad we found a lovely spot to sit in the garden and enjoy the sun with a cold drink.

Excellent from start to finish. We were seated in a comfortable area with our two very well behaved dogs. Service was first class. Food excellent. The Horse Shoe at Sywell can learn a lot from the management of the Stag

ALL ROUND AMAZING!!! Have driven past many a time and always said we'd visit but never have. Spontaneously decided to try out their Sunday roast a few days ago and the whole experience was just phenomenal! Staff were so lovely (especially the slim lady with dark blackish hair). The place looked fabulous inside and the food...the food was SO GOOD! Best Yorkshire puds we may have ever had. Meat was melt in your mouth. Root veggied were awesome. Will 100% be returning!

We found ourselves at The Stag's Head in Great Doddington last Sunday and what a delightful experience it was. My wife and I indulged in the Sunday roasts - I savored the roast pork with crispy crackling while she enjoyed a tender roast turkey. The roasts were accompanied by a selection of fresh vegetables, homemade stuffing, gigantic Yorkshire puddings, and a bowl of rich, flavorful gravy. The kids weren’t left behind; they happily tucked into their pizzas from a kid-friendly menu. The attentive and friendly service added to the warm ambiance of this old-style, character-filled building. It's the kind of place where every corner has a story to tell. We wholeheartedly recommend The Stag’s Head to anyone in the Wellingborough, Northamptonshire area. It's a place where good food and friendly faces await. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

I went here for a 50 year young birthday treat. The reasons I was disappointed was the discrepancies on the menu. Firstly the Wagu burger is described on the menu as "Served in a brioche bun", however it was served in what appeared to be a "Pretzel bun". Secondly and more importantly, my father ordered the Black and Blue burger (Blackened onions and Blue cheese) thinking that blackened may be extra caramelised. After only tasting a loose onion on his plate he immediately started complaining about how spicy it was, even to the point of saying that it was vile. When the host returned to the table we asked the host if the onions had chilli in them. The host needed to read the menu to see if chilli was indeed mentioned (which it wasn't). The host then needed to go to the kitchen and ask the chef if chilli was used. The chef confirmed that the onions were in fact cooked in a Cajun spice blend including chilli. My father doesn't have an allergy to spice merely a lack of tolerance. The hosts were brilliant, and immediately offered an alternative meal for him and this obviously had to be cooked fresh however put a dampener on an otherwise nice occasion. In fairness and for clarity, the business owner had asked us beforehand if we had any allergies. What I find so frustrating and annoying is the lack of attention to detail and the pretentious and flowery use of wording often used in menus, for example "Blackened" used here in this establishment and the classic "Lasagna Alforno" NOT used HERE but in many other places, when "Alforno" means cooked in an oven, how else do you cook lasagna?. The point that I am making is this, it turns out that "Blackened" is a technique used in Cajun Cuisine THAT USES SPICES INCLUDING CHILLI. For anyone reading this far I am a classically trained chef who believes menus should be simple to read without the silly pretentious and flowery wording. Say what it is, because it is what it is. When an establishment can make two fundamental mistakes on one items menu description (Bun and Chilli), I will skip a second visit as a just in case measure. On another note the building is lovely but the toilets are in need of an update. The staff were very welcoming, however it appears that this pub and restaurant is a key place to have a funeral wake due to its proximity to the Crematorium and Cemetery, so be prepared for lots of black clothes (customers and staff) and a mildly subdued visit.

The ambiance, decor, and friendly staff create a pleasant setting with a charming beer garden and an extensive drink selection. However, my experience with the Fish & Chips left me somewhat disappointed. The dish arrived with an unusual presentation—a Jenga block of partially cooked chips—and the beer-battered cod lacked flavor. The dessert, particularly the "jug" of custard, was comical, presented in the worlds smallest jug, which was quite disappointing. In pubs, patrons typically expect hearty, rustic fare with generous portions, and I found this aspect lacking. The others seemed to enjoy their meals more than me - think I chose the short straw.

Wow! After 'borrowing' a family dog today to walk around Sywell Park (and a quick Google search) we found this gem of a place. On entering, we were greeted by the very friendly and welcoming bar man. We found a table and we're given menus. Dog friendly it said - well that's an understatement. Dogs have their own menu and in turn, each of our three servers who attended our table made a fuss of our dog. He was given a bowl of water and his meal ordered along with our own selection of 6 Tappetizers. Although the service felt a little slow our food was absolutely delicious and cannot be faulted in any way. It was served hot and in good quantities. So very glad we found this place with a large car park and contemporary decor. It is clean and modern. An absolute delight. Thank you to both management and staff - we will be back soon.

Lived in the area a few years now always wanted to try this pub for a meal with my wife and we finally got around to going lovely food staff very friendly will be going back very soon highly recommend.

What a wonderful Sunday lunch experience! The staff couldn't have been more welcoming. Every single member of staff was helpful, smiley and just absolutely lovely. They were also really attentive and fun with my 8 year old daughter despite being busy with some big parties. Due to one of our party having a dairy allergy, they double checked with the chef what she could safely eat. This was greatly appreciated. The food was reasonably priced and delicious. The brownie was incredible. Thank you! It's been a long time since we had such first class service.

Everyone loved their roasts and burger but my ravioli was very disappointing. The pasta and filling were ok, the sauce was just flavourless white sauce with so much almost raw red onion (huge pieces too!) it was a joke.

Great customer service, really polite and friendly. Food was very very good, coffee was awesome. Really recommend the smashed avocado and halloumi toast 👍🏻

Cosy, warm atmosphere, smiling, promt service. Food is tasty and portions are good.

Firstly it was a Sunday afternoon quite late, hence why atmosphere was 3. The food was absolutely banging, good price too. Quick service and food was hot as in just out of the oven hot. Great place for a family Sunday lunch, also place is very dog friendly. Sit in the garden to soak up some rays on the pallet made sofas is a good touch.

Lovely food, re easy going, very accommodating, great place for a meal or just drinks.

Food is excellently made. Lovely drinks, fast service and friendly staff. Very clean and tidy with a lovely beer garden. Quite expensive, but expected for an independent, high quality pub.

Fantastic place, a real pleasure, staff were friendly and helpful. Not tried the food yet, but looked lovely. Not the best choice of real ales. Presentation of Gin was 5 stars. The Garden is lovely. I will be going back soon. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, super nice staff. Super dog friendly. I cannot stress this enough, they do love dogs there (Stella may not agree with this). We had a lovely afternoon and stayed for dinner. Food was great. Will be back soon.

Took my mother in law here for lunch in celebration of her 60th wedding anniversary. Friendly staff and lovely food. Two people I work with are going to try it out this weekend after singing it's praise's.
