The Stag Hotel, Restaurant and Bar
69 High Street, SO43 7BE
At a glance
Eleven-room hotel, restaurant and bar on Lyndhurst High Street with a big garden and a menu that takes dietary marking seriously: gluten free and gluten-free-option labels run right through it, from cauliflower bites to hot-rocks steaks and a katsu curry made gluten free.
Gluten-free options
The current menu marks plenty: buffalo cauliflower bites, home roasted ham, truffle chips and seasonal vegetables are labelled gluten free, steaks come with a gluten free option, the katsu curry is offered gluten free across chicken, prawn and jackfruit versions, most hot-rocks accompaniments are marked, sandwiches come on gluten free bread, and the soup has a gluten free option. The kitchen states its chefs are happy to adjust dishes for dietary requirements.
Before you order
The menu asks you to speak to the team about allergies but describes no separation or fryer arrangements, so items like chips — marked gluten free — depend on kitchen practice the hotel does not publish. A gluten free katsu also implies a substitute coating worth confirming. Ask how your dish is kept clear of gluten when you order.
Worth asking?
Are the chips cooked in a separate fryer from battered cod and scampi? What do you use for the gluten free katsu coating, and is it fried separately? How is gluten free bread kept apart from ordinary bread at the sandwich station?
