The Stag at Mentmore is a traditional beamed pub set among fields with what reviewers unanimously describe as one of the best views in Buckinghamshire — a sweeping outlook across the Vale that makes it worth visiting on a clear day regardless of anything else. Chef Charlotte’s Stag Burgers have developed their own following, the menu of classic British dishes is executed with care, and the beer garden makes full use of the extraordinary position. Dogs are welcome, walkers are encouraged, and the whole operation has the unpretentious warmth of a pub that knows its community.
The building itself is everything a proper English country pub should look like: beams, warmth, real character that hasn’t been designed in. For a Sunday lunch or a summer evening with the Bucks countryside stretching out before you, The Stag at Mentmore is a genuinely special place.
