As a mosaic sign on the sidewalk of Dame St with an arrow is the directions. Downstairs they can have numerous types of acts from comedians to musicians. The staff is... More

The Stag's Head is off the beaten path and serves a delicious lunch. We ordered Guinness, which was perfectly creamy, and soup and sandwich special, great value and very filling. Atmosphere is perfect with the stag head's stained glass windows and locals hanging about. More
