Current beers on tap - Exmoor Ales 'Stag' & Quantock Brewery 'Simply the Best'.

Current ales on tap, 13th November 2025
We always feel very lucky to have local breweries that consistently produce top quality ales. Two of those we have beers on tap from currently, with another waiting in the wings....
Exmoor Ales with a beer that's a tad special.... now being brewed back in Wiveliscombe 'Stag' in all it's glory!
Quantock Brewery 's 'Simply the Best'. A beer that's becoming a bit of a favourite amongst their range.
And currently tapped and venting in the cellar, 'Pale' from On The Level Brew Co

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).
