The King Stag

General information

The King Stag is a newly refurbished family run gastro pub in Bushey Village which prides itself on its atmosphere and attention to detail. You’ll find a range of eight individually sourced draught ales behind the bar and fresh food cooked on site from local produce coming out of the kitchen.

In January 2013 brothers-in-law Robert Beckley and David Warren decided to make their dream a reality and open a gastro pub in their hometown. They wanted to create a community pub where local people could come at any time of day for a coffee or a pint or a meal — or all three.

The refurbishment was completed in October 2013, in a Victorian industrial style. This creates a warm, welcoming environment for having a drink at the bar, playing a board game on the comfy sofa in front of a roaring fire, or eating with friends and family in the dining area. Whatever you choose, the atmosphere, the food and the attentive, friendly service will invite you to stay for longer than you expected.

Serving fantastic food is a priority at the King Stag. Robert is an experienced chef who has worked with top names such as Mike North of the Nut Tree, Chris Barber (ex head chef of the Prince of Wales), Heston Blumenthal and Michel Roux Jr.
