Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Stag at Stow offers a "fantastic experience" with "amazing food" and "friendly staff" in a charming Cotswold setting. Guests rave about the "excellent" gluten-free options and cozy atmosphere. While service can be slow at times, the delicious dishes like the "shared pie" and sticky toffee pudding are well worth the visit.

    Service staff were good. Manager was excellent. Sadly they forgot the one starter we ordered and 2 of the deserts were cold. The starter was removed from the bill as were the deserts. Sadly this detracted from the overall experience. We would, however, return.

    We had lunch in the stag on a very busy day. All tables were full and we were allocated a table in the bar area. It was very comfortable and cosy apart from a draft from the windows (which you would expect in an old building, so it was no problem). The food was delicious and the service was good. I would definitely eat here again.

    Excellent food and friendly staff. Great ambiance. I thoroughly recommend the lambs’ kidneys starter. If you’re in Stow you really should have a meal here!

    We had a table for 8 adults on a Sunday. 7 main Sunday dinners came out first and then we waited around 8-10 minutes for the side vegetables and the 8th main meal. The food was then cold and not really enjoyable. The pork was really quite fatty and I have to say that there was one waitress who had quite a rude demeanour about her and looked like she was annoyed at serving us

    Lovely place, laid back ambiance, ordered the house ravioli and it was sublime. Husband ordered steak after being recommended the best cut by our helpful waiter. The blue cheese sauce was sublime
