He said some of his staff had been upset by the homophobic vandalism scrawled in black marker on a door frame above the loo.

In a Facebook post, he said: “This graffiti in the gents on Friday night is completely unacceptable and is homophobic.

“Whoever did this is not welcome in the pub. Grow up!”

Sharing a picture of the vandalism, he added: “I want to reassure everyone that The Stag is a safe place for all.

“Some of our LGBTQ+ staff were very upset at seeing this. I will not tolerate this sort of behaviour in my pub.”
