The Stags Head

The Stag’s Head is a real hidden gem, tucked away on the corner of Orsman Road and Halcomb Street in Shoreditch/Hoxton. This historical pub not only has a great selection of craft beers and delicious food, it also hosts live music nights most days of the week and has a huge heated beer garden. We came for Phil’s Open Mic, as it turns out Phil, the host has won not one but two Grammy Awards and he used to work with none lesser than Bob Marley, Phil Collins, Cher and many other famous musicians. The music and the atmosphere was phenomenal! We also tried the food, most of the menu consists of traditional pub food, but there are a few dishes which you wouldn’t expect in a pub. We had a Hungarian Goulash and a Beef Curry and both dishes were delicious. The food is very reasonably priced, especially for the area, all the main courses are between £9-£13, there’s literally nowhere in the area where you would get such a delicious meal for so cheap!!! Maria, the manager also told us that the pub, being a listed building is often chosen for shooting location of famous movies. Among them Legend with Tom Hardy and My Policeman with Harry Styles was shot in The Stag’s Head. We had a fabulous time, and would love to thank the lovely staff and the manager Maria, for looking after us, and for the excellent recommendations! I’m definitely coming back soon!

I find Stags Head as a traditional British pub located on Orsman Road in Shoreditch, London. It is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, and is known for its delicious food, friendly service, and lively atmosphere. I recently had the opportunity to visit The Stags Head for a meal, and I was very impressed. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend the Beef Curry. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the meat was so tender it melted in my mouth. The service was also excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I was particularly impressed by the fact that The Stags Head is a great place to meet locals. I sat at the bar and had a conversation with a 102-year-old man who had been coming to the pub for over 50 years. It was fascinating to hear his stories about the pub and the surrounding area over the years. The Stags Head also has a great atmosphere. There was live music playing when I was there, which really added to the magic of the place. I would definitely recommend The Stags Head to anyone looking for a delicious meal, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere.
