Had lunch with wife and three friends yesterday. Lunch was very good: service efficient and friendly; food was tasty pub fare eg upmarket burger, fish and chips, and a good range of fresh salads. Also, some interesting items on the specials board which changes every day, and a really enticing list of desserts. But the one thing that distinguished this... More

We got married at nearby St Martha's church and had our reception at The Stag in April. The staff were absolutely superb - both on the day and during the preceding months when the owner, Mark, went above and beyond to help us organise the day. No request from us was too much and both the service and the food... More

The Stag is a lovely pub, great atmosphere and good food. It’s also set in a really great location by the river with a decked garden to enjoy the sun. We were luckily enough to hold our wedding reception there in May and chose the venue after seeing lots of others because of the relaxed warm welcome and great menu... More

My husband and I stayed here for one night for our 5th wedding anniversary, and we were - I am sad to say - a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, overall it's a beautiful place, lovely gardens, really well appointed room with a very comfy bed. We were invited to come down to dinner at anytime even though the... More

Great pub with rooms. The food is excellent and menu though limited is very good. Attentive and friendly staff. The rooms are well presented and very comfortable. All you want and need! Breakfast was excellent. So, worth a detour.

I went to The Stag with my family for a Sunday lunch and it was fantastic. The staff are very welcoming and the food quality is brilliant. The decor is lovely and it is not to big inside, thus making it more cozy. The hygiene in the bathrooms is impeccable. Will definitely go back.

We stayed at The Stag on the River for a weekend in March. My boyfriend and I really needed to escape the hectic London lifestyle and the stag was exactly what we had hoped for. We received a really warm welcome from Sam who is the lovely manager of The Stag. Both Sam and all the staff we're very friendly... More

I was recommended Godalming as a quaint retreat for our wedding anniversary which was not too far from home. So after deciding this was the location did some research on where to stay and it paid off!!! My husband and I (in our mid 30’s) arrived at the Stag on the 4/4/13 – our 5th Wedding Anniversary, first impressions were... More

Just returned from a three night stay here. Despite the bleak weather, a few hours spent by this country inn's fireside soon warmed the fingers and the tootsies ( although a nice merlot may also have helped us along ) From the moment you enter, the smell and sight of the log fire draws you into the place. A gorgeous... More

Very good food, tidy and homely accommodation, friendly staff, and beautiful surroundings. The staff all made us feel very welcome and were very attentive. The food was superb - both the evening meal and the cooked breakfast. We stayed here on an accommodation and food offer and left more than satisfied. Highly recommended. Thank you!
