Star - Liverton in Teignbridge

I took my mum and auntie to lunch today for the Christmas festive menu. Firstly, the service was incredible, kind, warm & welcoming, felt like we were the only people in a busy pub! Then what we all wanna hear, the food!! Wow, we all had the 3 courses and they were incredible. Starters were delicious and huge! The roast turkey dinner was lovely, lots of meat and the veggies were fresh! Then the dessert was just the perfect end! I don’t normally write reviews but this is a well deserved one! I will be back all year round but definitely back next Christmas! Thank you! ☺️

Excellent visit today, pub landlord very friendly and welcoming,Food was excellent and very friendly pub we would definitely recommend a visit to this very friendly and great value for money pub

Sunday roast, full plate, please bring cutlery and sauces out before meal arrives as it goes cold, tasty however to charge extra for cauli cheese and pigs in blankets is a tad cheeky, just put a little bit on! Crackling on the pork wouldn't go a miss!

Was taken to The Star by family who live local. Whilst the coke/pepsi arrived flat, it was rectified by the manager and replaced. The Vegetarian burger there is to die for. The chef has done an EXCELLENT job of putting together a burger than can genuinely rival a meat one. Rather than putting out the lazy and bland bean burger, they offer a meat replacement chicken burger. (Think beyond burger or VFC) The sides and trappings finish off what is a packed chicken replacement burger, with clean ingredients, not a grease fest. Crispy lettuce and great sauces to compliment. When we visit family again, this is where we will be asking to eat out. Well done chef, its rare for a vegetarian meal to be a genuine offering, where it feels truly a considered meal. Especially if the chef may or may not be vegetarian, or there aren't that many vegetarian customers in the area. (Think small town or farming towns) So thank you. A++

We stopped here for the night in our motorhome, the owners and staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious, they kindly left the outside toilet open for our use at night and had access to the water tap. This is a busy little pub with a long history and well worth a visit

We visit the Star on a monthly basis with our classic car club friends. James & Heidi are fabulous landlords and are always so welcoming. Food is good and varied.

We went to the star for a family Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve, it was the worst dinner we’ve had for a long time . It was cold, the parsnip were that hard you couldn’t cut through them, roast potatoes weren’t roast they been boiled then fried nothing on the plate had seen any seasoning. The service wasn’t much good they were serving pudding before clearing away the main course plates. I wouldn’t recommend the star for a roast dinner ..

Family Birthday festive meal Food was amazing as well as service. Steak cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

Booked in last minute for 8, the owner was great fitting us in at short notice. The food was exceptional and really affordable! The burgers were great, really generous portions and the chips were great. Kids meals were the same, really good quality, great portions and really affordable. Really lovely place with a lot of history and character and the staff couldn't have been any more welcoming aren't friendly. We were brought crayons and colouring in for the kids which was a lovely touch.

Went for a meal here last night whilst on holiday. They had some good ale on and a nice cider for the wife. Decent food with quick service and fairly reasonable prices. Nice surroundings too and easy to get to and park at.

Context: we've been coming to the Star occasionally for about 8 years. In the last 18 months its been going from strength to strength and is now a fantastic local pub and a great place to stop if in the area! The bar staff are friendly and really helpful (especially when we come in with our baby!) The range of beers and spirits has improved immeasurably and is now excellent and the beers are kept really well. The food is now great too. The kitchen keeps developing and the most recent menus with "mega burgers" and fresh pizzas are FAB. Went in tonight - Wednesday night - to be met with a live jazz duo playing awesome tunes, garden and bar had a really happy friendly atmosphere and all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Had the "Don" burger to share with my wife, and some mozarella sticks. Was enormous and fun and really really tasty. 2 weeks ago had a couple of pizzas - fresh, hot, tasty and cheesy. Banging. Obviously i'm a little biased as its my local pub, but - i had almost stopped visiting until 18 months back and now i go most months (which is a lot for me). WELL DONE James, Heidi and team, and congrats to Punch pubs too for supporting James to innovate and make this a properly excellent local pub. A great model for what a "local" should be and somewhere i'm very happy to rave about and take friends and family. Jim

Fish and chips and pie and chips please. Certainly, but you can't eat it in our superb beer garden!! The menu for the beer garden, which is a great space and the reason we chose it, included pizzas, burgers and loaded chips but no fish and chips! The kitchen couldn't cope was the reason we were given. Strange, it's been able to cope for the many years we've used the pub. At the time we were there, no one else was eating though some takeaway pizzas appeared. We certainly won't return until common sense and a decent menu do.

We’ve been a couple of times since the new owners took over and it’s just gone from bad to worse. This evening our whole family came for an evening meal in the garden area. Food is not homemade by any stretch, our whole party was in the toilet or being sick by the time we got home, I suspect food poisoning. Our children wanted a pizza, they received 3 massive slices of reheated (hot in places and cold in others) stale pizza. Honestly the food is a quality match to weatherspoons… which is definitely not worth it for the price! Lovely beer garden and the owners are nice, but wouldn’t return again unless there was a better chef and food. It was disgusting, every thing was reheated and out of a packet.

We stayed overnight in our motorhome what a great pub! We were made to feel so welcome, by staff, locals and especially the James the landlord. The beer was excellent and so was the food. We would definitely recommend this pub and will visit again when we are in the neighbourhood.

Superb place for food and drink, will be back. Had the steak pie and got to say it was just fully loaded with quality meat.

The staff where terrible I left but my freinds stayed and sent me photos now I think burt sausage is not the way forward I would pay to not go here ever again

We had never visited the Star until last night after it was recommended to us by neighbours. What a lovely pub. We were sat in one of the outdoor booths which even though it was outside, it felt private. The food was fantastic, the service was too. We had a really fab evening and will certainly be visiting again. Thanks so much to the whole team but especially the kitchen.

My partner and I are visiting my sister tonight and walked the 150yards to the pub from her house. Glad we did as The Star under new management certainly didn’t disappoint! Nice country atmosphere with tasty food and a lovely welcome. My partner had the roast chicken dish and thoroughly enjoyed it. My sister and i had the burger and it was lovely with my brother in law eating the chicken pie. It was all lovely and we managed desserts even though the portions are good and generous!! So in summary a lovely cosy pub which, if you pull off the Devon Expressway doesn’t disappoint!!

Just visited the refurbished Star in Liverton. It has recently been redecorated and it feels so much better than before. The bar area has been slightly altered but it still feels warm and welcoming. The restaurant area has also been updated and again it is...

It does seem a bit mean to review a place on the first full day that they have reopened after a refit and now with new licencees, but having eaten there today I want to give a thumbs up to my experience there. Yes there...

We heard the Star Inn was under new ownership. We were not disappointed. Meal was lovely and best dessert I've had in a long time. All the staff were welcoming and friendly. It's been refurbished very tasteful still keeping the character of a country pub....

Sign on the road advertises Sunday lunch served until 4pm... it's 3pm and they've apparently just thrown all the food... I understand that it costs to keep the kitchen open, but at least remove the sign before you close service!

Stopped for a Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed - Beef roast, a large Yorkshire Pudding with a good few slices of beef, roast spuds and a good choice of veg and a rich gravy. Served hot and very tasty. We arrive late so...

Have stayed over night, we were halting the two back to their parent's. A call in to the great House of Marbells in Bovey Tracey and lunch break was called for. The Star Inn just up the road was the place to go. Great Sunday...

Visited here for a lunch with family for a quick catchup. The previous visit was a bad one with the senior citizens portions being the size good enough for a new born. However against our better judgements, were reassured that there was a new chef....

Disappointed. Staff very polite and pleasant, food mediocre at best. Wouldn't recommend or return - the bar was busy so I imagine that the beer is good !!

We booked a table for the evening and were bitterly disappointed with the food. The building itself is beautiful and full of character, beer garden holds the same standard as the inn. The food was dreadful, what tasted like a Tesco value frozen pizza with...

Ate here last Thursday night.. there is a wide range of food on the menu the specials board is full of variety.. There was also a sprcial on for two fish and chips for £12 which is great value..the pub had a great atmosphere with...

On a miserable wet evening went to the star at Liverton lovely old pub good food and pleasant company friendly and efficient had pizza and lasagne chips and coleslaw very tasty and a nice real ale we shall visit again

Having eaten here many times and always enjoyed the pensioners special dish of the day, it was a disappointment today that there was none and also no roast dinners. The dessert menu had far less choice than before. As I prefer a smaller portion I...

New chief and the food is great! We ordered a roast beef and a pork and we were very impressed. Plenty of meat and well cooked, loads of veg and gravy. We will be back!

This pub has great atmosphere like pubs were once in England. Real ale is good . My food was average but other peoples looked good >Monday night they have live bands so it is very crowded. Staff were really friendly . Use satnav to find...

Deliberately picked this out-of-the-way country pub as it boasts claims of child-friendly facilities. I don't think the shabby wendy house in the beer garden and one playground rocker as quite matching expectations. Boiling hot sunny day and the pub had no ice...drink sizes are very...

We visited this old world pub with some friends from Spain. Excellent food, with good choice, friendly staff. We were able to sit out in the garden which was very pleasant and enjoy the sunshine with our dog.

Popped in for lunch as Welcome Stranger is shut on a Monday. Good food and lots of it. Also a good pint of Doombar. On the special board I saw they do really good meal deals for pensioners. 2 courses for £5.99 or fish and...

Excellent food friendly staff and a good atmosphere very impressed, we are staying locally and will definitely visit again in our week away

Just visited this old pub for my mother's pre birthday lunch. Seven of us had the pork or beef roast, with myself and my brother having "specials" from the blackboard. Overall a very cosy pub with good food, the only slight letdown was the meats...

We visited the star inn on a last minute decion as it's local we all had steaks and was pleasantly surprised as to how well cooked they were (perfect) thanks visited a few times over the last year or so never been disappointed nice place

This is a Pub. We called in whilst camping in the area for Widecombe Fair. It has a very large Beer Garden, huge car park and we expected a busy restaurant. There was only one other couple in the place whilst we were there. The...

We arranged to meet friends here. Reviews were quite good so had high expectations. Unfortunately we were disappointed. The Pub was pretty empty. The menu was all on a blackboard so we all had to stand and choose our meal. The bar Lady was pleasant...

We went to the Star for an evening meal when staying nearby at a B&B. On arriving at the inn it did not look the most welcoming place we had ever visited. Once inside it was much better . The lady tending bar was very...

As a pub it would probably be acceptable. Good choice of beers etc. Food was a bit of a problem to order as there were no menus available, only a board with the items listed. I like to sit with a drink and mull over...

Went here for dinner while we were staying nearby. Good choice of food - the steaks were excellent. Friendly staff but service was a bit slow

Pub grub but nothing which would set you aflame. Food was cooked, well presented and perfectly edible. Service was fine, a pretty face and a smile works every time.

We decided we were going to sit outside as it was a hot, sunny day. We went into the bar and asked for some menus but were told they didn't have any so we had to stand and read the menu from the black board....

A group of friends and I meet there regularly for the senior citizens lunch, which is nicely cooked and very good value. It's an old pub with a good atmosphere & seating outside for the good weather. If you have a dog there are good...

My wife and I booked for an evening meal here on a Friday, thinking it would be busy so best book. Wrong! It was not busy but no worries as we where there to eat and totally happy with our own company if needed. There...

Good value food and well cooked. Wide menu choices available. Disappointing bits: lack of atmosphere and we did not get service at our table and had to order at the bar whereas all the other tables had their orders taken.

Not a gastro pub, nut a real gem of a village pub with decent food at sensible prices. Shame the steak and stilton pannini is no longer a choice, but the kedgeree was very tasty. Lisa makes everyone welcome, regulars and visitors alike. Well worth...

Went to The Star having been there for lunch on Friday. Asked if we should book for Sunday and was told "yes". So we duly did!! Arrived, was told we could sit wherever we liked and we ordered. Hubby wanted a roast but doesn't do...

Just had a most enjoyable lunch with 7 friends at The Star, good menu with plenty of choice and sensible prices. Service was efficient and polite but not "in your face" and we had between us a fairly wide choice from the menu yet all...

Having heard from some friends that The Star Inn was worth a visit because the food served was good, a small group of us booked a table for a Saturday evening in early September. We were seated in a small upstairs area much like a...

Stopped for a quick lunch.... Staff pleasant and polite, very helpful. Food was superb with plenty of it! Specials on the blackboards inside - i chose the homemade lamb curry and wasn't disappointed. Food prices more than reasonable. Sat outside in lovely sunshine, peace and...

"Welcome to the Star Inn" it says on the website, but you won't get much of a welcome if you ask for food at 8:55pm on a Wed night, not even the offer of a sandwich. Very poor, mean-spirited service we thought. They weren't shutting...

We are on a seasonal pitch for the summer and have been to this pub on 4 occasions and had a very friendly reception from the staff and locals. We called in for a Sunday lunch the 1st time and it was lovely, we were...

My friend and I enjoyed an OAP special meal (£4.95 for a 2 course meal) and the fish was delicious, cooked in a nice crisp batter. We had passionfruit ice cream which was also delicious. The portions of the main meal were on the small...

We were really surprised by the quality of food from the menu on the board and the the price was very reasonable ,atmosphere in the pub was enhanced by the meeting of the Triumph owners club. Highly recommend

Table booking lost so no room initially available at time previously agreed. Only made room after 2 gentlemen vacated their table to allow us in. Party of 7 were going to be turned away. One person with dietary problem had to return their meal 3...

A friendly welcome, good service, pleasant atmosphere and plentiful menu and beer choices. We are a walking group of retirement age plus and so were delighted to find the superb value for money "Senior Citizens Menu" offering two courses for an amazingly small sum of...

nice lunch, nice beer, nice pub, cannot say more than that service was quick and overall a good meal at a reasonable price

Very friendly staff and a warm welcome awaits you! Good choice of menu and great food.There is a bar area and also a restaurant area. It is a great pub for locals and visitors alike. Great beer garden to enjoy those sunny days and evenings....

I can agree with the previous reviewer about the pulled pork - it was delicious! The three bar/waiting staff were charming and welcoming. Food was reasonably priced, and there was a really good selection with usual pub favourites as well as more unusual dishes (cod...

popped in for a Sunday lunch snack and both myself and better half Lauraine had a pulled pork baguette with fries and a fab side salad .......pork was in a scrumptious barby sauce and was covered in a load of melted cheese ...looked like something...

We popped in just on the off chance they would still be doing a Sunday Roast it was 2:30 PM; They do food 12 - 6 PM on Sundays so we were in luck, the staff member (Bar person) gave us a very warm welcome...

A couple of friends MC the Monday night 'Open Mic' & Curry Night so off I've toddled for the last two weeks. Great rural pub, good cellar, warm and friendly atmosphere and gorgeous food from approachable barmaid, landlady and chef respectively. Without doubt both weeks...

A very cosy and friendly pub where we enjoyed good and very reasonably priced food from a varied menu.

My husband and I eat this pub regularly, and the food is great. It's always worth looking at the specials board as there is always something different and always so tasty!. I hear there is a new chef so we are looking forward to seeing...

The senior citizens special at this inn is fantastic value and as good quality as you can get. £4.95 for two courses. On Bank Holiday Monday I had their special which was moules freshly made in a garlic and cream sauce with chips and crusty...

Really nice, friendly staff, punters and live entertainment. Good traditional country pub decor and warm inviting atmosphere.
