Star Inn in The Vale of Glamorgan

Went in on the for a drink after shopping and decided to have food on the off chance and as usual it was amazing. Sara and the team are always helpful and polite thank you for the experience

Great staff great service great food great value

Have just had a Sunday lunch at the Star Inn and it was fabulous. Unfortunately we had not booked a table, but without any bother they managed to fit myself and grandson in with no problem. The managers and staff were brilliant and the food excellent would recommend the Star Inn to everyone for their amazing hospitality and food. Excellent all round

Lovely, attentive staff. Great food.

Food was good, waitress was lovely but the Duty Manager is in the wrong job. We wanted to pay at time of order but the blue light app was taking a while to load, the person taking the order said its ok they will open a tab and we can pay at the end. When we paid at the end the duty manager said no as he walked past to the blue light we asked a simple question about Blue light as it is in the app to be used 7 days a week but he refused it with no explanation and said 'no it's my decision and that's final' no reason why, and he said it with attitude. I came home after thinking we would have nice evening out as a family feeling very annoyed due to the duty managers attitude. I think the hospitality industry is the wrong one for him.

First time here and as soon as I walked in I loved the atmosphere. The place feels so homely with great decor. The bar looks amazing with lots of information about their events like a regular quiz night. I had a cheese burger meal which was superb. All the staff were friendly, asked me how my day was going and I had a nice chat with Sara the landlady. I love that there is a beer garden too. I will definitely return here as my whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you 😊

Popped on for lunch, food was delicious . Staff were very attentive . Highly recommend this place . Very friendly and welcoming

Great welcoming pub Fab selection of drinks Friendly staff and management

Thankyou to the team at The Star for welcoming myself and family last week. Great service and high standards.. Food was lovely and cracking pint of cider...many thanks...

The staff at the star are absolutely amazing. They honestly can't do enough every time we visit and are the friendliest and most welcoming staff. We love coming here for a date night and the food is always really good too!

Great staff very helpful especially Lowri Pete and Oisin and Mike the TL.

Frequent diners always pleased with food and service

Average chain pub food. Service was awful so glad tipping is not expected in the UK! The Star has really not improved much since my last visit in 2022. The food is really terrible and I only go there for a pint every now and then. If the food could be improved this could be a nice place to eat but currently it is well below par. I am really surprised that there are positive reviews for the food served here.

Always a lovely friendly atmosphere. Love the roast dinners good price and yummy too can’t wait to Come back 😊

I would like to express and highlight my distaste to the female member of staff, that was extremely rude towards my family and myself when attending your pub yesterday evening at 1800hrs for my birthday meal. I was confused and still am as to why someone would state when I ordered myself a starter ‘you know this is going to hold up everyone else’s food don’t you’ ? The teenage female who had dark hair and was wearing a black t shirt was extremely helpful and also the manager in the floral shirt. This turned out to be an extremely poor experience for myself & my family and for this reason I will not be returning to this pub. Certain staff need a refresher on how to treat customers, times are tough enough as it is and it’s not everyday you get family together for a sit down meal.

Staff are friendly, atmosphere is nice and welcoming and the food is always excellent

The gentleman at the bar mike was an absolute delight. He was able to help our party with fussy allergens and vegetarian options, whilst also entertaining us with his sincere serenading renditions of the frozen soundtrack (let it go was a sheer delight). The landlady Sara made us feel at ease without being to imposing and the rest the staff were incredibly accomadating. Food was top notch and my halloumi baguette was incredible. Will definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, fab child friendly pub food at a good price ! Will be back soon !

I Paid £26 Wife paid £29 4 drinks £19 Wish I had a takeaway

amazing service from eva and georgia - guy at bar was lush too. tables bit sticky tho

lovely food, pleasant environment and friendly staff

Absolutely amazing Christmas Day lunch - just so lovely. We’ve never had Christmas lunch out before and this didn’t disappoint! Staff were amazing, so friendly and worked so hard and the food was outstanding! Massive congratulations to everyone and a huge thank you to those working on Christmas Day to deliver such a lovely meal - thank you!

The service was fantastic. As someone with allergies I felt thoroughly looked after by the manager and in safe hands with the staff. I highly recommend for anyone who has dietary requirements as they went above and beyond to ensure I had a lovely meal. I felt very looked after and that nothing was too much hassle. The manager is a credit to this establishment a shame I did not catch his name. Thank you very much as I have had many awful experiences with allergies and this was a masterclass in how to deal with them ! 5🌟

Very friendly staff, great food and lovely outside area

Service was excellent. Food was very nice, lovely atmosphere. The only negative was no Mixed Grill on the menu that evening.

We had a lovely Christmas catch up here. Staff were friendly and polite. Food was piping hot but also served really quickly (bonus when you're starving). We all really enjoyed the food and our evening. Reasonably priced as well.

Great service from the bar staff, fantastic beer (the Rev, my all time fav) and a lovely ambience in the seated area on the leather sofas. Highly recommended!

Good food and atmosphere. Went out of the way to get group of 11 a good table. Offered opportunity to preorder....all food came out hot at the same time...saved us going to the bar to order....will be back.

Lovely food and environment. Staff are always friendly. Will be coming again soon. Good value for money and a proper village pub.

I came here for lunch and was very impressed by the service and quality of food that was served here, highly recommend

Always such have such a lovely time when we go, great value food and great atmosphere. Staff are always amazing and make an effort

Fantastic set christmas meal for large group. Great food and service ….. meal was excellent value and really enjoyed the evening.

Always a nice lunch great staff lovely place

Staff are very friendly, Food was very nice. Wasn't waiting very long for food to arrive. Very well priced. Dog friendly pub as well, plenty of seating area (inside and out)

This is one of the friendliest places we have been which is why we keep going back to it. Everyone is met with a smile and made to feel welcome. My husband has Alzheimias and is quite deaf but he gets uneasy in noisy environments. At the Star no matter how busy it is, because of the layout the noise level is never overbearing. He is always at ease here. The food is great, the staff are wonderful and the atmosphere is lovely. I recommend the Star to anyone, you will not be disappointed. Well done everyone always feels welcome, service is brilliant, food is excellent as is the atmosphere

Friendly helpful staff, lovely relaxed atmosphere, great food, comfortable and clean 😊 Very careful to accommodate any dietary requirements.

Everything was great. Best fish and chips we have had.

Our birthday celebration proved to.be an excellent experience as on numerous previous visits The staff are delightful and nothing is too much trouble The food is hot first class cooking and very prompt service The only disappointment at this visit was the fact that we were unable to finish our meal with a.lovely coffee as their coffee machine was broken which was a great shame as we do.love to complete our dining experience with their first class coffee

Always a great meal friendly staff goddess choice of drinks 🍸 👌

Went today for a family birthday meal. As usual, the food is amazing and the staff are warm and welcoming. A perfect family village pub.

Good night out with good food and drinks

Great pub. Friendly staff and lovely food!

Sara and her team were fantastic when our mum’s wake was held there last Tuesday. The buffet food was really lovely and plenty of it. The staff were as friendly and welcoming as always.

The wife meets up with her sisters every week here. They have a great to.e and say the food and service are good. I have had a few meals here and yes they are not bad. Good value and the service is good.

It's always great to come here. The barstaff are A1 and can't do enough for you

Always, excellent service and value at the Star. Friendly staff who go the extra mile.

We had a family meal here, the staff were great. They accommodated some picky eaters and dietary requirements without a fuss. Jamie was particularly helpful. Would recommend and return.

Really good service from the two lads, didn’t wait for anything,excellent Sunday lunch 5* food

Another fantastic evening at the Star. Usual amazing staff ready to give a warm welcome along with some new friendly faces. Food was excellent! We got to try the specials menu which was delicious, the chicken and chorizo kebab was delicious. 10/10 as always!

the food just tasted cheap tasted like microwaved £5 for a pint cider Wetherspoons cheaper for drinks £2.50p

Polite and friendly service, would highly recommend, Sunday lunch was delicious, served quickly and was nice and hot. Will call again on our next trip to Wales!

Wow, fab pub grub Pleasantly surprised Hunters chicken and fish and chips Nice atmosphere

Thought we would drop in for early meal. Very busy just managed to find a table for 5. Ordered meals , meals came quiet quickly. Only problem asked for medium rare steak more medium than rare. Came out more medium than rare. Asked servic this was wrong. Fair play taken straight back to get new one. Was very tasty 😋 thanks nice meals. ....

Another lovely visit to one of our family favourites. We really like the atmosphere there, staff are always welcoming and the food delicious, with good food options for the children as well.

Called in the other day for an afternoon meal. Opted for the fish and salad rather than chips as I never eat them. Lovely piece of fish and an exceptional salad for a local pub. It really was a very good meal. Nice atmosphere and very polite and helpful staff. It's not my first time and certainly won't be my last. Thanks you very much to all at The Star.

Visited The Star for a date night with my wife. My both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. All the staff were very pleasant and made you feel welcome. The food was very good and there was a cost atmosphere. I would highly recommend

First Class Service and good quality food at reasonable prices.

We come here regularly. The staff are welcoming, friendly and efficient. The food is great and it’s also good value. Well done Star staff.

Had another fantastic meal at the Star. Going again Sunday for a large family gathering for a birthday meal

I had a veggie chili with various sauces and it was delicious. Will definitely be back soon. Also the gentleman who looked after us was very pleasant. Full marks!

Called in with my kids for an evening meal.. Food was hot and arrived quickly. A proper village pub with a restaurant feel. Staff are always amazing.

Nice atmosphere and nice food. Staff were friendly and helpful. They had a good range if Gluten Free options available, which pleased my wife.

Excellent Sunday roast at reasonable prices.

What a lovely place. Myself and the family popped in while in the area and we were overwhelmed by the hospitality that we received especially from Sara. She was amazing with my 3 year old and made our visit most enjoyable. Will definitely return next time we are in the area

Had a great visit over the weekend, the staff were incredibly friendly and the food was really good value; I'd highly recommend a visit!

We love The Star Pub in Dinas Powys. It has a lovely country pub feel, with welcoming staff, excellent service, and great traditional pub food. We’ve been here for Sunday lunch a few times and have always been really happy. We’ve been searching for a great local pub for Sunday lunch for a while, and we’re so glad to have discovered The Star. *Update* we since have returned midweek to eat from the main menu, the food was also excellent! 😊

Although we have dined here quite a few times especially on special occasions I was actually appalled at the way my friend was treated when she called in to book a table for 14 for 30 september.we have booked for the same amount of people before without any problem provided the food order in advance as requested and have always enjoyed ourselves so I'm finding it hard to understand why this booking was refused for September 30 but we could go on Oct 1st.The reason for this booking was a birthday and definitely not for the offer of 30% off - I will add that the team member was going to take this booking but the chef refused so please be prepared to have your bookings for large parties refused although the website says groups welcome -other than this occasion the food the service and the atmosphere has always been very good and Sarah the manager amazing -such a shame because we doubt if we will celebrate there again.

A really warm welcome and great value food! Visited with my wife whilst we were passing through and I'd highly recommend a visit!

What great food served by amazing and friendly staff. This place was our first stop in our tour around Wales and set the tone. Highly recommend!

My husband and I ordered a drink. Sat down then ordered food. My curry was an Wednesday deal with a drink. Went to get my drink included with the meal but was told as we had paid outright and not on the tab cldnt have the drink. The bar lady hadn't offered me a drink when I placed my order. Not very Impressed

Fabulous staff and great food - thank you!

We regularly eat in the Star and in July booked a family birthday. I was very impressed that all the food came out together and for 14 people that is to be commended. We were all happy with our meals. We have been back several times since, just my husband and I and we cannot understand how the food standard has dropped. Last week I had a steak which I asked to be well done, but it had to go back as it was still mooing, and this week I was tempted by a marketing email for the “new”salt and chilli kebab. The reality was the chicken was the brown meat, and really very very fatty and slimy. I couldn’t taste the salt and chilli as it was overwhelmed by the piri piri sauce. Very disappointing so I think we will have a break for a while and hope the standard improves. In fairness, we do like the pub.

Great village pub with good food and good beer.

Friendly staff, chatty, engaging. Good selection of drinks. Food menu slightly limited, but very tasty

Very friendly and helpful staff, My husband asked for a jug handled glass as he struggles to hold the straight glasses as he has arthritis in his right hand , but none available, when he went back for his second pint the bar man had hunted for one and found one especially it was very much appreciated.

Fabulous attentive staff, nothing to much trouble, first time visit with my elderly mum, she loved the staff, food and can’t wait for us to bring her again… thank you for making an elderly lady very happy

This was a fantastic place, the staff were friendly, the surrounding comfortable and welcoming. The menu offered a great selection of mains and sides, my daughter especially liked the specials menu.

Sunday evening meal. The food was good and served quickly . We thought everything was good value for our money. We would visit again.

Great time at the Star Inn and look forward to going back!

Disappointing tonight. I appreciate it's the first week of reopening, but half an hour before our drinks arrive? Then we wait another half an hour after we finish our mains for one child's dessert. Food pretty good as always, basic pub fayre. Staff were clearly under pressure, but a couple of them were needlessly surly. Won't be coming back in a hurry.

Sunday lunch was excellent. The beef in particular was very tender and surpassed the other Marston Pubs we have tried in and around Cardiff

Very nice pub, lovely little beast garden with plenty of outdoor seats. Cozy and warm vibes inside. Dog friendly

Cannot fault the food and service

We were well satisfied with both the food and the beer. Crispy and tasty fish and chips and a salad full of varied, good quality ingredients in a thriving community pub with friendly staff.

Excellent Sunday roast, as always. Good selection of veg, decent portion of meat. Smiley staff

From the first friendly welcome from Pete to the enjoyable beer this was a welcome hostelry close to my overnight stay. Forty seven years after my first pint of Brains SA this was to be a welcome return. I had the gammon steak dinner which was very good indeed. On Sunday evening I returned again for a third time this a drink with family ahead of a tv evening watching football and the SA served by the barman, (sorry if the name is incorrect O’Shea) from County Cork. I believe not only did he serve the pint but looks after the barrels and pipes to bring it up fresh and tasty. It was the definitive pint, the best I’ve ever tasted. Hence my comment, and I will be back.

We have come a few times and the food has always been very good. Yesterday thought it would be nice to bring our dog…checked the website and it stayed “dogs welcome”. However, on arrival we were told we couldn’t bring him in the main restaurant part of the premises, only the bar. The bar is a tiny little corner and was already full - plus we were meeting my parents for a full meal. The outside area wasn’t mentioned even though it was a lovely day so asked and was told that was fine. Just a bit unclear and left us feeling like we’d been the ones to do something wrong even though we had checked. Suggest the website is changed to reflect what actually is acceptable- or change the rules.

We had a meal before the pub quiz , both were excellent

Absolutely love this place so lucky to have it on our doorstep with great food selection and staff are always welcoming and friendly! Recommend to anyone

A great local . Pub food excellent staff

Beautiful meal. Steak cooked to perfection will go again. Friendly atmosphere and great welcome from the staff will visit again.

Eating at The Star last night was an absolute pleasure. The staff at The Star Hotel deserve a very , very special mention for their exceptional service. Attentive and genuinely friendly, they go above and beyond the call of duty. An inviting pub, excellent food, and superb service,

A lovely, tasty Sunday roast served promptly. Staff always friendly and helpful

Every time we visit The Star we always get a warm and friendly welcome from Sara, Mike and the team. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they will always oblige with a request where possible. Today we were served by Sian, who is always a pleasant lady. We would always recommend The Star to anyone who is looking for somewhere nice to enjoy a lovely meal.

Great meal with family. Food really good and friendly service

Just had to hear the Irish barman deal with one of most awkward,condescending and rude customers I’ve ever heard and he showed brilliant patience and professionalism - thought it deserved to be mentioned

No wait at bar. Quick food. Food tasty. Table a little sticky but a good visit.

Had a great meal, food was fantastic. Table of 9 booked with no issues. Thank you
