The Stag Restaurant is a bright and spacious dining area located within the Devonshire Arms. We recently refurbished to a very high standard and The Stag Restaurant boasts a stylish setting with modern décor and an open kitchen which has created a relaxing dining room for up to 60 people.

The large windows allow natural daylight to fill the room and provides picture-perfect views over the hills rolling down to Nether Handley and beyond to New Whittington & New Brimington, just one of the many attributes that make us one of the most popular destination pubs in the U.K

Executive Head Chef Marco Caires and his team love what they do. The food in the restaurant is constantly changing and with a great team in the kitchen, you can be guaranteed a fantastic meal, that's what we're famous for. They take great pride in sourcing fresh seasonal and where possible local produce. You can find daily specials, build your own children’s menu, and a range of events offering bespoke menus.
