My party of 30 visited The Stage Door before going to the theatre. A buffet had been organised for us by Paul and at a very reasonable price. To say it was fabulous was an understatement. Lots of food, lots of choice, really tasty and...laid out well. We even arrived early and had a lovely welcome . A proper pub not an over priced 'gastro pub ' or bistro.More

I’ve often walked past here because I.m always unsure of new pubs. Howerver, I was pleasantly surprised. It had a quiet atmosphere mid-afternoon. The barman was pleasant enough and I had a pint of Oranjeboom. I really liked the fact that the pub had little...nooks and it was exceptionally clean. If I had had longer I would have gone and sat in the beer garden because that looked really good. I will be back.More

Great old fashion family pub, just what we needed, been here twice now and loved it, great service and very good price

The pub is old fashioned very dated. The selections of ales is limited only strong bow cider on draught extremely disappointing. Land lady was so rude spent a lot on rounds for friends only to be spoken to like a child. Brought a round at10.50,...she was happy to take our money but was being rude to us all as she walked round the pub making it apparent she was chucking us out. Shepards name is a great brand but customer service cost nothing, I will not be spending a penny there again. She made me feel small so rude. Anyone would think she doesn't need customers.More

Nipped in the Last Post before a booking in a nearby restaurant. This is a traditional pub (rare these days), with a comfortable atmosphere and nice bar staff. The pub has a great selection of beers and ales and I would go back.

Popped in a few times in a week while I was working at the theatre 'next door'. Beer is kept very well indeed, and the bar snacks are cheap. This is exactly the sort of pub musicians need near their workplace!

Popped in here before a visit to the theatre. Lovely old style pub in Datford. Decorated old time style. This pub is a gem. Best of all the lady behind the bar and her friend at the bar were so welcoming. Lovely pub. Nice people....Will go back.More
