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!

This was a birthday treat for me from some friends and we had a very nice, unhurried lunch. Food was good although I am a non-fish eater and the menu did have rather a lot of fish dishes so my choice was limited. Nonetheless I enjoyed a good rump steak with excellent chips and veg. House wine was enjoyable. I... More

We met with friends for lunch. All of us were delighted with our choice of venue. We can only praise the restaurant service, menu selection and quality of food. We could find nothing to fault. Highly recommended.

Had lunch in here yesterday, after having a fantastic Sunday lunch previously at one of its sister pubs (The Queens Head - reviewed), and was disappointed with the quality of the food as a whole. The place is lovely, easy to find from the A3, set in a really pretty location and very tastefully done. The service was excellent and,... More

I had my wedding held at the Stag in December 2012. It was the most amazing day, all the staff ( especially Mark Robson ) went above and beyond to make it the perfect day. All our guests said how great the food, decor, quirky bedrooms and staff were and loved the location for a wedding venue. We went to... More

This is almost more a "restaurant with rooms", as the bar area of the pub is small, the restaurant large and the rooms are gorgeous little boltholes hidden away from the noise and atmosphere downstairs. Wonderful location only a minute or two from the A3 (but you'd never know it), over an ancient old bridge and located picturesquely beside the... More
