In 2010 the pub was sold by Punch Taverns to the next door funeral directors, A. Pargetter & Son, and it reopened as THE STAG, a free house under new licensees, Clive Hunt and Paul Barrow.The stag is a male red deer in its prime, i.e. in its fifth year. Most of the signs refer to hunts, stag hunting having been a favourite royal sport in the past. Occasionally it is a heraldic reference. | |||
