Star Cafe in Bexley

The menu choice is always good and the standard excellent and our visit this time met all our expectations!

Our go to place for family meals and roast Not to be missed

Great food and service in a lovely venue. Thoroughly recommend .

Great sunday lunch and good value for money. Will definitely be going back.

We moved to Goudhurst recently and ate at the Star and Eagle for our first night. What a wonderful find. Great ambience, delicious food and lovely staff. We will be back soon and this will now be our regular.

We visited for a birthday and the service we received was outstanding. Birthday bunting put up - which made the birthday boy feel special , and then a birthday desert with candle etc - we couldn’t have asked for more. The food, as always , was delicious x

Great Quality food, good portions, good service, what's not to like! Enjoyed a Full English in the renovated dining area, perfect for if staying at the Travelodge nearby...

Lovely meal, very attentive staff. I would recommend.

We have been coming to the Star and Eagle for many years, there is always a wonderful welcome. Friendly, very pleasant surroundings. Lovely garden also the food is excellent, service is always spot. This is one of our favourite places to eat. Thank you. Sara

It’s a beautiful old pub with a very good restaurant and great food. The staff are friendly and attentive. I had skate wing and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend

Had lunch with our friends and had a mixed experience. The good bits were the friendly welcome and nice atmosphere. All the staff were lovely Rosie in particular who was lovely with my friends little girl with lots of banter. The downside was some of the food. Why have spicy chicken in a child’s wrap selection? Her Dad had to wash it in water before she could eat it and why put imitation cream in the filling of a Black Forest gateau? The other meals were fine although it was mentioned that the chicken & leek pie was a very small portion also although very nice. It was not all bad though as the skate, lasagne pork belly were fantastic. All in all we had a nice time but could have been better.

Outstanding. Great ambience. Great food and unusually both the meat fishes and veg were superb.

Welcoming staff . Good service and food . Excellent menu nice wide choice including vegetarian and gluten free options. Will go again

Lovely table by fire. Very attentive and friendly staff. Normal wait times for food. Good sized portions from a varied menu.

Absolute pleasure dining here again . Food was amazing . Staff so friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back again.

Lovely meal and food. Wonderful service, no pressure to move on and able to spread courses and hot drink out. Quiet so you were able to hear and enjoy your own conversation. Definitely recommend

Food could be better quality but lovely people, place and nice and warm.

Lovely food very attentive and helpful staff. Our favourite place to eat.

Great staff always helpful and friendly. Good food and lovely ambiance with fire going. We go here for our fix of liver and bacon.

I have wanted to visit the Star and Eagle for years and decided to go with a good friend for lunch. We ordered a prawn and Marie rose sauce sandwich, which we asked if we could have it on granary. The lady serving at the bar said yes that's fine. We were served crayfish tails on supermarket brown bread which was pretty tasteless and had minimal sauce. The lady serving at the bar was pretty miserable looking and not interacting much, as if she didn't really want to be there. A second server was very polite and helpful and friendly but by this point the experience was disappointing. The building is beautiful but sadly I doubt we will make a return visit.

Cosy pub full of old world charm, pretty Christmas decorations. Really good regular staff always friendly and helpful. One of the few places to enjoy good liver and bacon. 👍

My first visit to the Star and Eagle for sometime and I enjoyed my return there for lunch. Good pub restaurant with plenty of food specials and we had a good table alongside the very welcome log fire. The haunch of venison was great and overall a good experience with good service and a warm welcome when we arrived. Parking is limited but there is car park in the village in walking distance.

As good as always. Lovely festive decorations and atmosphere.

The Star and Eagle is one of the nicest pub-restaurants in our area and our “go to” place if we want a treat. Fantastic varied menu and very friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, all in a great ambience .

Lovely food, huge portions and slightly more expensive than other local pubs. Quite quiet even though the restaurant was full.

Very friendly, professional and personal service. Food was excellent. Would definitely recommend it.

Very nice pub for lunch, good parking and lovely menu, just right for lunch.

The Star & Eagle is our go to Pub for food, especially a Sunday Lunch. Food is always of a good standard, imo. The staff are 👌.

Delightful beamed inn and restaurant. Open fires made it feel cozy. Good food and wine. Excellent selection of beers. Friendly and welcoming staff.

A lovely welcome, offered a table to suit. Excellent service and food. Top marks.

A regular haunt, welcoming staff, good service and the chef knows his stuff.

Excellent choices on the menu most of which really suited my tastes. Friendly, effecient and helpful staff. I would recommend.

Lovely venue - warm and cosy. Great friendly staff. Good choice of ciabattas for lunch

Lovely evening, good food, open fire, welcoming staff.

Fantastic food at good prices. Restaurant was full, a good sign. Service was fantastic, with special dietary requirements catered for.

Good food, good wine, good service, good ambience.

Visited for Sunday dinner. Dogs were not allowed inside. Had to sit outside in the pouring rain . Sunday dinner arrived Luke warm , beef overcooked and carrots were over cooked .. I’d go as far to say they were not fresh carrots tasted like a frozen vegetable. Not a enjoyable visit

Lovely evening and friendly staff. Food was great and they made added attention to my son whose birthday it was

We had a lovely meal which was well presented. We felt that we were looked after and enjoyed the time we spent at the Star and Eagle.

Good food in a traditional pub and excellent restaurant.

Food is very good,service a bit slow,food not served the same time has partners,my toast came before my food.

Excellent service, food and ambiance - as usual! Always welcomed, attentive staff and homely feel.

A warm welcome with excellent food and drink in a lovely old building. Top marks.

Small portions ( 7 padron peppers on salad leaves) pil pil prawns not presented well. Slow service Good Romanian red wine

Smashing service. The Paella was lovely as was the Eton Mess. Thank you for a wonderful meal.

The tables were set up beautifully with white cotton cloths and napkins. We didn’t like having to read the menu on a board as we got in everyone’s way. No menus on the tables. The food was good but some items expensive. All deserts £9. The service was pleasant and friendly although a little bit unprofessional at times. Everyone enjoyed the evening but not sure we would go again.

Such a beautiful place and setting. I hadn’t been there since my daughters were younger . It’s such a lovely atmosphere and so relaxing which is perfect when you want to chill and enjoy the surroundings . Definitely will be going back . Highly recommend to friends and family

The food and service was good as usual. The only thing that puts me off from dining here is that they dont provide a paper menu. You have to take a photo of the black board. We dined with two older people that dont have smart phones. This meant we had to share our devices which werent clear for them to read so had to read the menu out to them. In the end two of us opted for fish and chips as it was just easy, instead of keep having to remember what had been read out. It sounds a simple thing to do but its actually annoying.

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Star and Eagle. Service was exceptional. Great historical building.

Excellent meal at the Star & Eagle. Wonderful food and great menu

Always a very warm welcome from Karen and Lizzie at the Star and Eagle. Coronation dinner was delicious, great wine list, and we had a fun evening with live music

Delicious food, especially the Spanish items. Friendly staff, nice busy ambience

Our service was extremely slow - many other diners who arrived after us got served before us - and we never received our coffee

I was ever so disappointed for our Easter meal here with my family, we had been recommended to this restaurant and it really didn’t meet our expectations, the food was okay no flavour and the food was Luke warm to cold and wasn’t enjoyable, my favourite part of the meal was the raspberry sorbet! I have a dietary requirements and I had ordered the nut roast and they didn’t tell me that there was cauliflower in cheese cream sauce. I always feel so difficult when going out due to my intolerances, so I didn’t mention that they added cauliflower cheese. Unfortunately I will not be visiting this restaurant again

Great pub. Friendly efficient service, delicious food. Relaxed and a beautiful building.

We had a lovely family dinner here. Food was a more restaurant style than gastro pub - both in terms of presentation and quality. The room was traditional but cosy with white table cloths etc... Food was very tasty, tastefully presented and with a nice variety. Service was exemplary, our waiter was charming and the rest of the team really helpful. Nice for a small group or tete a tete.

Really lovely meal and atmosphere. Very pleasant for a first visit.

Went for a 21st birthday and they let me decorate the table. Also they hung up a birthday banner and made a special dessert plate for the birthday boy. Excellent service and gorgeous food but run out of sorbet🙁. Otherwise 10/10. Been lots of times before and also had great service

Good food apart from my wife's pork was overcooked

A wonderful old world ambience. Very enjoyable tasty food.

Another great dinner, excellent food and service as usual. We are lucky to have such a good pub in the village.

Menu is not printed. It is on a board in the main bar so you have to take a picture of it to save hanging around an occupied table which is underneath.

As always made very welcome Delicious food and very helpful waiting staff

Amazing time as always. Food delicious, service excellent. Have booked to go back for lunch soon.

The food was excellent, the staff very friendly and attentive without being over the top. Decor is lovely, the fire was lit, something that a lot of pubs are neglecting at the moment. We will definitely be back!

The best Sunday roast I’ve had ever in 42 years of life 😊. Great food service and atmosphere. Thank you. X

I booked a table for 4 people for my wife’s birthday, and it was a wonderful evening, the food, was excellent and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend.

Lovely setting and food a good standard.

A brilliant meal with exceptional service. Thank you

Wonderful meal and friendly staff,, meal was great and the setting was lovely

Lovely food, lovely service - couldnt have been more helpful. We booked for 2.30 which was the final hour for ordering food. The staff were just lovely and didn't rush us or make us feel pressured. The food was really high quality and you could tell cooked properly from fresh. Would definitely go back again.

Have been to the Star and Eagle several times recently and have never been disappointed.

Quite simply the best roast and service I’ve had for a very long . It was superb.

Fabulous Sunday lunch served by friendly welcoming staff. Couldn’t ask for more.

Really lovely vegan and vegetarian Sunday roast. Service was amazing, staff are very friendly and helpful.

Amazing food and service as always! In my opinion the best roast dinner in Kent ❤️❤️ the staff are always so friendly and attentive! Would 💯 recommend to everyone!!

This was a superb evening dining experience. Service and food were smazing. Shame I hate jazz music which was all they had playing and they didn't know how to change it

This was a great meal out, best we have had! Food was delicious, service exceptional and great atmosphere in the restaurant with the open fire lit. Perfect.

Great food and lovely traditional pub atmosphere. Great attentive service as well.

Food excellent as always as was service. This is a real gem of a restaurant.

Perfect pub with excellent food and service.

Lovely Sunday lunch in beautiful surroundings. Hotel very charming and food and service excellent.

The food was amazing as always. We had pork belly and the crackling was out of this world. The only pub in the area that can cook roast potatoes.

Lovely pub/restaurant in beautiful old building. Friendly service, menu on blackboard, plenty of choice. Tables outside if weather nice. We enjoy coming here.

We dine there three or four times a year. Service friendly, always smiling, welcomed very warmly. We would always pick The Star and Eagle

Amazing old pub, fantastic food menu and delicious food, and superb staff - especially Sam! Thank you!

Great menu and choices so nice to feel so relaxed and nothing was too much trouble for staff

This is our numbers 1 place for eating and drinking. Always feel welcomed and special here. Atmosphere is ideal for cosy evenings, and the service is always attentive.

Superb service and food. The pub has a wonderful ambience too.

An excellent meal and evening, it was son's birthday which the staff acknowledged with window decoration and his desert decorated with .Happy Birthday'.. A nice touch. Thank you.

Great food, and service. Was a really chilled atmosphere and the belly pork and duck mains were fantastic and tasty.

Food was lovely and so was the service. However whilst sitting in the restaurant we had to go through to the bar area to look at menu on a wall. (Or you could look through a window between the bar and restaurant). This is not ideal because you are looking over peoples heads as they are eating. The same as when you go into the bar area as it is situated where people are sitting. We got waved at by other guests whilst we were reading the menu and I don’t think you should have to look over peoples heads as they are eating /drinking .

Chose this for an anniversary meal. We had the slow roast belly pork which was delicious. The service was excellent and they made a beautiful dessert for our celebration. Highly recommended.

Muscles were small with quite a watery sauce, not served with bread. Charged £9 for a slice of cheesecake. Great service however.

Lovely setting for a very nice lunch. Good food and service and an excellent beer selection.

A friend and I have used The Star & Eagle for meet up lunches for around fifteen years. It's always a superb place with outstanding food and service. What we appreciate most is the fact we can book a quiet table and are encouraged to enjoy it and stay as long as we wish. This time was no different, and we were warmly invited to take our time long after the meal was done. One of the finest, most characterful and welcoming Kent inns in existence; set in a glorious spot by the church on the hill in Goudhurst. Always highly recommended.

It took almost 90 minutes after ordering for our food to arrive. The chicken was extremely dry, to the point of being inedible, no dressing for the salad, no water on table. It then took 30 minutes and three attempts to finally get the bill.

First time here but DEFINITELY not the last! Food was absolutely beautiful and it felt as though we really were being treated! Honestly, what a gorgeous place - who could want anything else!

Seated outside in a well shaded pleasant courtyard. Helpful attentive service. Very good Sunday lunch. Thoroughly recommend

Great food service friendly and efficient . Lovely outside space for lunch
