“My parents were over from Ireland and we wanted to give them their first Afternoon tea experience. We all really enjoyed the food! The venue is lovely and cosy with a nice chilled atmosphere. You can also eat outside on a sunny day if you want. My 4 year old son was with us and they made him his own sandwich and gave him a scone free of charge. We had a lovely chat with the manager/owner at the end. Overall we had a lovely experience!!!”

“As a registered disabled person who often needs access to a toilet quickly, I found myself in need of such facilities. I entered the pleasant pub and spoke with the bartender. She kindly showed me to the disabled toilet which was much appreciated. I did not have time to stay for food or a drink, so thanked her before leaving. Such a kind welcoming person is lovely to find these days especially and for this I would highly recommend The Stag Inn, Rotherham.”

“Having a relative in the hospital up the road, finding this pub was a godsend. Excellent menu choice and unbelievable value for money. I can highly recommend the fish and chips, Gammon and the Surf and turf. Portions are spot on and the price is great. What makes the pub though are the staff. They make you feel like a regular as you order your first drink. Even though I live over 20 miles away I will make a point of continuing to visit this pub and work my way through the menu!”

“This place is a hidden gem that no one seems to know about so I'm sharing this secret with you all as I was so impressed with the food and service. I been here with my partner for a meal over Easter. it was lovley Two for a Tenner u can't go wrong here! You might think because of the cheap price tag you may get poor quality food however this is not the case here! The food is top quality at a very good price! We had hunters chicken and pie of the day (steak and mushroom.) The pie was packed with meat and flavour the chips were lovley it all came out very quickly and was hot and tasted great my partner loved the hunters chicken too. The drink selection was reasonable but its the food I will be coming back for. Overall a great visit that I will be repeating sometime soon.”

“Seriously impressed. We went to the masons on Thursday for something to eat. We’ve been before and remember the pub is well decorated and has a slightly up-market feel. The pub was very quiet when we visited with two young lads serving at the bar. The menus we were given were on printer paper and the table numbers have been hand written on masking tape affixed to the tables. The menu appeared quite basic and seriously under-priced. We were therefore quite skeptical about the food and expected it be low quality and not in keeping with the up market look and feel of the masons… How wrong we were! The food had quite clearly all been freshly prepared and made from scratch in the kitchen. The portion sizes were very generous. While this is by no means haute cuisine, it was by far and away one of the best homemade pub meals I’ve had in a long time. From our experience it appears to us that the masons has recently changed management. Which hopefully explains the lack of proper menus and table numbers. While they are finding their feet I’d recommend anyone wanting a great quality and generously portioned meal pay a visit immediately! We had 2 started and 2 mains and had change from £30 - not often you can say that in 2025. A must visit.”

“My daughter in law had he 18th birthday party here on the 27/01/2024 which was wa great night first time of me going in to this pub but I would highly recommend it to anyone all the customers are friendly and the staff are great make you feel well come and safe ... Just want to say a very big thank you to the staff that was on this night and the two nurses that was there that helped my son that was passing out and fitting I went blank and could not do it you are all a credit to the pub and the estate keep up all your hard work and once a gain a very big thank you to you all xxxx”

“We took our 5 children for an hour and ended up ordering some food for them. We don’t usually take them out to eat very often as the you boys are Autistic and the younger two also have ADHD, we often feel we are judged. This couldn’t have been further from our experience here! Dave and Vicky were amazing with the kids, they made it a fantastic experience to the point of the children wanting to cuddle them upon leaving! They went above and beyond to make them smile, what fantastic people. The food was brilliant too! Thanks so much, we will definitely visit again with the children.”

“Best restaurant in the Rotherham area. That's why me and my wife visit every week”

“Whilst this might not be popular with the young generation it’s a great pub with a good atmosphere. Worth booking a table on a weekend if you’re meeting friends as it can get really busy especially around the Christmas holiday period. Good range of drinks at reasonable prices for Wickersley. There’s a good sized beer garden with plenty of tables. There’s are some parking spaces at the side of the pub and the surrounding roads but it’s always very busy at the weekend.”

“Nice local pub showing sports. Pool table and darts. Very clean and tidy”
