“...absolutely delicious, beautifully cooked and terrific value...”
Jan Moir, The Daily Telegraph
Food and Drink
We pride ourselves on serving the best of local produce. Owner Steve Reynolds is head chef . The Stagg Inn has won numerous awards and acclamations for its food and drink and has been favourably reviewed by some of the country’s top food critics.
A la Carte Menu
The menu changes approximately every 2 months, depending on the time of year. The current menus can be found on the News and Menus page of this web site.
Wine List
Our wine list has been commended in many guides for the choice and fair pricing. We offer 8 wines by the glass. There is also Joseph Perrier Champagne by the glass, local wine from Broadfield Court www.broadfieldcourt.co.uk, and 4 pudding wines. We also have a range of digestives and malts. Nicola is in charge of the wine list and likes to adjust it frequently. In 2004 she was runner up in a national food and wine matching competition. This pleased her enormously as she is entirely self-taught and would never claim to be anything other than completely amateur. Wine service is informal in keeping with pub atmosphere.
Bar Snacks
We have a Bar Snack menu with prices from £9.90 for a main course. During the week you are welcome to eat bar snacks in the dining room, but bar snacks are not available during busy weekend sessions or on Sunday Lunch time. Open sandwiches are available from £5.90 and you will find a sample menu on the News and Menu page.
Sunday Lunch
On Sundays we do an extremely popular set Sunday Lunch with 3 courses for £19.80. This gets very busy and is a real family occasion, because Sunday Lunch is over-subscribed, we do not do bar snacks on Sundays. A sample Sunday lunch menu can be found under News and Menus.
Larger Parties
We can take parties of up to 30 people. We do have to agree a shorter menu for parties of over 12 people, over 20 people this will need to be pre-ordered. Generally 3-4 dishes are chosen from the current a la carte menu. We do not take bookings for over 12 people on Saturday evenings.
Special Dietary Requirements
Because all our food is cooked to order and prepared on the premises, it is generally not difficult to cater for people with special dietary requirements. We always have at least one dairy-free pudding on the menu and the chef can adapt sauces, etc. to suit. Just ask and we will assist.
Suppliers
We aim to sell the best that Herefordshire has to offer. Meat comes from local farms and is of top quality. We are growing some of our own fruit, veg and herbs, but there are plenty of local people to make up the shortfall. We are well supplied with game from local dealers and we also have pigeon, pheasant and partridge on a regular basis. Fish usually comes from Cornwall, unless it is organically farmed trout which comes from Presteigne. We used to keep our own Midddle-White and Tamworth pigs but still make our own sausages and faggots and our own very popular chorizo and salami from free-range pigs. We keep our own hens. Snails from the farm in Credenhill just outside Hereford often feature on the menu.
Our cheese trolley is laden with regional cheeses from Wales and The Three Counties. We generally have around 20 to choose from for a ploughman’s lunch or after dinner. In 2003 we won The Best British Cheese Board award, www.thecheeseweb.com.
Our bar offers 2 traditional ales and we sell local cider and perry, www.dunkertons.co.uk, www.westons-cider.co.uk good places to visit whilst in the area. Drivers are provided with a range of soft drinks including local apple juice. As the Good Pub guide rightly points out, the bar is small with a civilised atmosphere, the locals are friendly, but not a wild bunch.
