Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Stag
Fuller's pub in the angle of a Y-shaped junction north of the town centre, caught at a probably unrepresentative time as it was full and loud on a Tuesday evening in the lead-up to an England World Cup match. However, not so crowded that you couldn't make out the substantial three-part interior with an elongated bar counter in the centre, all refurbished in a semi-traditional style. Pride, Oliver's Island, HSB (£5.90) and ESB available from the two banks of three handpumps.

Single room and wedge-shaped Fuller's pub at a traffic junction just to the north of the town centre. There is a mixture of carpet and bare boards with a tiled floor at the bar. The bar itself is quite long with some nice wood carvings above it.
Music was playing throughout our visit, with TVs at one end and on the bar showing an auld firm derby and a Premier League game respectively. There was also a games machine and a sweets machine. A dartboard can be found close to the main entrance. Dogs are welcome. There are treats at the end of the bar. Customers appeared fairly friendly.
On the bar, there are 2 banks of 3 handpulls. Pride & ESB were double clipped. Oliver's Island was on another handpull, with the 6th unclipped. The cider was Stowford Press. Food is normally served Monday to Saturday evenings. There should also be Sunday roasts. However, signs said that no food was available until further notice.
We found this to be a fairly unpretentious Fuller's pub. It is in the current Good Beer Guide. But I agree with the previous reviewer that it's not really worth the walk from the town centre.

The Stag is a nice old building which is quite a walk from the town centre. To be honest it probably isn't worth it.
Although from the outside the pub looks very pretty and welcoming, inside it's been Fullers'd with a modern makeover which includes two big screens at either end of the single room. These were showing footie on our visit which was being watched by a few punters at the bar and in seats whilst the odd group was eating. There's a fair bit of wood in evidence and plenty of deer pictures on the wall in an attempt to give a traditional feel.
Beer was Fullers Pride and Front Row along with Ossett Big Red as a guest. The Pride was in reasonable nick although not the best I've ever had.
A bit disappointing really.
