Winter Bar & Restaurant Opening Hours

Winter Bar & Restaurant Opening Hours

It’s that time of year when Dunster goes into hibernation, the tourists vanish, and even the village pigeons seem to be on annual leave. So, while things are a bit quieter, we’re temporarily adjusting our bar and food opening times.
But fear not — we haven’t shut ourselves in the cellar with a barrel of cider.
We’re still very much here, still cooking, still pouring, and still ready to welcome you on the days we’re open.
Think of it as The Stag’s Head having a gentle winter stretch… not a full nap.
Once the quiet spell passes and the village wakes up again, we’ll be back to longer hours and more days, bright‑eyed and bushy‑tailed.
Thank you for sticking with us — your support keeps this lovely old pub alive (and stops us talking to the furniture).
