The picture perfect village of Mentmore is home to Il Maschio @ The Stag Inn, a friendly country pub that serves a distinctive fusion of British and Mediterranean cuisine. Head chef and co-owner Mani Rebelo is committed to using only the freshest ingredients that are sourced from the local Chiltern farming community. Their menus are updated regularly while a daily specials board tells you what the best choice of the day would be.

Starters of mussels cooked in white wine, tomato and garlic could be followed by free range chicken breast cooked in a mushroom, brandy and cream sauce served with potatoes and seasonal vegetables. If you're a pasta enthusiast, then the range there will surely delight you, while those who love authentic, homemade rustic pizzas will find something to their liking too. A fine selection of international wines helps pick up the pace along with some real ales and interesting cocktails.
