The Bright Star in North Hertfordshire

We stopped off here en route to Luton Airport Lovely garden setting with excellent ales. Even though there was partial renovations going on ,the friendly landlord made his signature pizzas for us which were excellent.

A lucky find near Luton Airport. Great place to linger awaiting a flight arrival Pleasant garden with birdsong a-plenty. Food fabulous- classic burger extremely tasty and large! Halloumi burger also delicious.

Good pub food, quick service and friendly staff. Nice outside seating. Traditional pub décor. The food was good pub food.

We popped in for lunch, after a country walk, with the kids. Delicious burgers and baguettes - friendly staff - will definitely be back

We parked in the village to do a nearby walk ( Chiltern Way) and were hungry on getting back to the car. Having seen this beautiful- looking pub earlier, we made a bee- line for it. A cheery bar person took our order for the Sunday roast which we opted for pork and beef. We then took our drinks into the pretty garden which overlooked the village green. Within 15 mins, we were shown to our table where two huge dinners took pride of place. We are not big eaters but there was more than enough food and plenty of meat both types which were tender, juicy and very tasty. Why this pub wasn't busier I don't know but it is worth the 10 min driver from Harpenden or 20 from Luton hands-down. Only slight critical comment is that the loud music from the. speaker at the open window is not necessary, the food, service and pleasant surroundings are sufficient.

This was a fabulous find. A rare ‘proper’ traditional village pub. Great pub food … we had the scampi, couldn’t fault it. Lovely seating area outside. It was so nice to spend time in a traditional pub garden … not in yet another ex-village pub that has been turned into a so-called bistro. The best thing about our visit was the service. Great customer service is so hard to find these days …. The Bright Star landlord dished it out by the bucketload. So refreshing! We spent a very enjoyable couple of hours here …. and I look forward to returning! Please support this little village pub … they’re a dying breed!

I took a group of 30 plus for our long awaited Christmas get together and Guy and the team could not have been more enthusiastic and ready to help me make this a great night! The dartboard was a focal point, the food was fantastic and the karaoke was an added bonus! We will definitely be back for a summer party too! Would recommend to everyone, for dinner or a couple of drinks or looking to do an event of sorts like we did.

Lovely Country pub on the village green. Plenty of parking and beautiful garden for the summer. We parked up and spoke to the landlord to establish lunch timings and to say we would be back after our walk. An hour later we returned, to roaring log fire and two super roasts one beef, one pork. Certainly a large plateful, but also week cooked and presented. A pint of well kept McMullen mild and cider rounded off a great visit. Would highly recommend.

Went for dinner. Food was average, but the welcome was non existent. A dog, which I think belonged to the landlords was jumping on the furniture and then it was licking one of the empty plates which had not been cleared at another table. Although we live locally we will definitely not be visiting this pub again and will certainly not be recommending it.

If you're looking for a nice country pub with a warm mood and decent food and drinks, look no further. This rather pretty place offers just what you need. Not a big selection of tap beers and food, but having said that, I wasn't unhappy with what I ordered. Will definitely go back.

A Sunday afternoon pint and burger with friends at this lovely friendly country pub. In the garden, very covid safe, in the sunshine, just gorgeous... almost felt back to normal. The burger was excellent... a real beef burger (not some multipack ‘meat’ pattie). The staff were lovely and friendly. Families, cyclists, walkers....

Enjoyed a fabulous burger and pint of AK. Great setting and even better service, thoroughly recommend.

I went to the bright star on Saturday 24th April for a few drinks and to enjoy their BBQ with some friends. It’s a really beautiful pub garden, but possibly the worst service I’ve ever received. To start, the drinks order was wrong (1 of us was given a half pint when we asked for a pint). We flagged down the waitress and informed her and her response was ‘sorry, I didn’t take the order’......well that’s not the point is it? Extremely rude. We then asked for a full pint, which took about 20 minutes to arrive (we had to ask twice). Then on to the food....we ordered 6 cheeseburgers, 3 of them with bacon as well. When the food arrived, the lady bought over 2 cheeseburgers and said sorry we have no bacon....(should have told us this when we ordered then?). To make things worse, she said all she had on the order was 2 cheeseburgers......when we ordered 6! So there were 4 of us having to then wait for burgers to be cooked. The chips were also massively undercooked. Then the final straw was we went inside to pay the bill, and were left waiting for 10 minutes as the man behind the bar was too busy trying to pull pints for other orders. Totally disorganised and the worst service I’ve ever experienced, I wouldn’t bother visiting again until they perhaps give their staff some training on basic customer service.

Very pretty pub set in the village green. Stopped by for some lunch and the much raves about pizza and it was so delicious ...couldn’t fault in any way! Nicely presented and will be back!

We enjoyed a refreshing Guinness in the outdoor section of this friendly pub - first such experience since 14 March. On 28 June we had met the landlord when he was in the process of preparing for a soft reopening - he allowed us to eat our sandwiches in the outdoor area and even came over with an umbrella when rain came. Such good customer awareness deserves reward and we shall have some food next time we visit. A pleasant view is provided across the village of Peters Green - worth a visit for walkers and locals alike.

Visited during the shutdown so brought our own picnic to the beer garden and it was a great one 😂. Definitely will be back when we're allowed inside for a drink and a meal!

I visited the pub a few weeks ago and wow what a difference, the previous landlords weren't great but the new team are amazing, The food is delicious, the staff are warm and attentive and it has the perfect country pub atmosphere!!! The new landlord Guy is such a nice fella and it was such a great afternoon. Massive thanks, will be back asap. Would recommend it anyone...

I can not thank the staff that kindly helped me with my poped tyre this morning ! After feeling distressed and had no clue what to do, a man who works/Owns the premises had kindly come out and helped me change my tyre. It was raining and cold and he still offerd to help. So thankful and feel very privileged there are still nice people willing to help. :)

Just had the best Beef Sirloin toast o have ever had! Thoroughly recommend this down to earth family pub.

The Bright Star has yet another new Manager/cook but this time hopefully Guy and his daughter Charlie will stay on long term. Guy cooked a wonderful meal for my family and friends last Sunday for my 70th. The roasts were amazing and everyone who had chosen the vegetarian option was very pleased. 24 was a large number to sit down for a meal in a small village pub, especially when the rugby was on, which made things difficult for everyone. Charlie worked hard to serve us all about the same time while being run off her feet keeping an eye on the new barmaid and also serving drinks. The home made starters and deserts were simple honest pub food to compliment the roasts. I would be happy to recommend the Bright Star for a meal with friends or family, but perhaps not when the rugby is on next time.

Just had the best Sunday Roast. Tasty lamb with amazing roast potatoes, fresh veg cooked to perfection. And because the plates were hot, the meal stayed hot all the way through. Fab choice of desserts too. Great service and a real fire making the pub warm and cosy. We will be back.

We visited the Bright Star several years ago when it was nothing special. How different it is now. A proper pub with a welcoming atmosphere and great food. The new landlord, Guy, is passionate about what he does and he and his team provide great service. We called in on a Sunday when delicious roast dinners are served. Not wanting a big meal we had an excellent beef baguette served with salad and crisps - just what we wanted.We will definitely return !

Called in here for a light lunch after a country walk.As it was a Sunday they were "only" doing roast beef or roast chicken but after we had explained that we were having a roast at home that evening the new landlord, Guy, rustled up a most delicious roast beef baguette and salad - absolutely delicious.Since the new landlord's arrival at the end of last year the whole atmosphere in the pub has changed and I saw more life in there last Sunday than over the whole of the last five years.Well done landlord - keep it up!

Visited this pub with my parents and we stayed to have dinner. The atmosphere was great. The new owner is fab and the food even better. We’d recommend the lamb, delicious!

New landlord Guy is a breath of fresh air - at last a proper pub - you must visit and you won’t be disappointed - we loved ot

We attended a tribute evening event with lovely food and goo friendly local atmosphere# Would Recommend for a fun night out.

Went for a meal Saturday evening. Booked for 7.30. Was not told on booking that the kitchen closed at 8.00, felt very rushed and about 10ish we were asked if we wanted our bill as they were closing soon.

Be limited menu, has the ham egg and chips, the ham was very fatty, the egg was cooked to long and the chips were cold and to salty. The staff were very abrupt and rude it was like they could not be bothered. The beer wasn’t up to standard it had a strange taste to it as if the pipes weren’t clean, I will definitely not be going back there again. Maybe that’s why it was empty especially for a Friday evening very poor.

Customer service is very poor, service was very slow, limited menus would definitely not go back not worth a visit to many customers with dogs which made me feel uncomfortable as they sit and watch you eat. Owners did not ask the dogs to move very rude.

I haven’t been in the Bright Star in a number of years but was on a bike ride today and stopped in for some lunch and a pint of Diet Coca-Cola.

The Bright Star has had its ups and downs, with the previous management clearly a down - constantly running out of beer, never having any food to hand, and service that'd make Basil Fawlty look like publican of the year, so when it closed for a bit and reopened under new management - the same folks that manage The Fox in Darley Hall, I thought it was time to give it another go and I am so glad I did.

Limited menu but cooked well not a huge choice,staff very friendly nice clean environment. Nice country village, worth a visit it would be a great afternoon tea venue but they don't do it. Nice open beer garden , gigs allowed.

Had a stroll last Saturday evening and come across the bright star, we ate the cod loin and the burger, have to say the chef absolutely nailed it. The batter was so tasty and fish melt in the mouth. Friendly staff and welcoming landlady. Set in beautiful surroundings this old world pub is idiotic in its surroundings & is a lovely village pub. Would recommend you pop in if passing.

Stopped by on the off chance whilst passing and came across this gem for of a pub. Great food, really friendly staff and lovely location. Perfect Sunday!

Popped in for dinner as never been before!

As part of a weekend away we wanted to finish with a nice roast dinner and were not disappointed!

Just enjoyed a wonderful meal with friends in a friendly informal atmosphere at The Bright Star, a real English country pub in the pretty village of Peters Green. Simon the new chef is working hard and build a reputation for good food. If he continues like this we will all be very happy. The menu was limited but the meal was just wonderful. The steak was cooked to perfection with a tasty shallot and stilton sauce; the burger and lamb went down well and the puds were to die for. We girls loved the home made Caramel and peanut butter cheesecake with it's butterscotch sugar work and caramel fudge. I recommend you put this pub at the top of your list when choosing where to eat out.

We visited this charming lovely pub last Sunday and was welcomed by a friendly atmosphere. The roast dinner was excellent and portions were large. The cheese and bacon leeks were delicious.

Since having kids we've slipped into a habit of not eating out as much, but since hearing there was a new chef at the Bright Star we booked in for Sunday lunch. - We were not disapointed, 6 adults, 3 children/babies and the dog. Very welcoming as usual and food was lovely, the chef made it his duty to come and talk to us personally and constanly made sure everything was OK. Ww will be going again during the week to try the rest of the menu.

A really friendly welcome and a beautiful meal. What more can you say. We booked last minute as our usual restaurant was full. Glad we did. Its hard to find a ral traditional pub with great food but this is certainly one.

Stopped off today on a cycle trip, 1st time - such a warm welcome, Lovely landlady, very accommodating to my 'off menu' order. Food was of the best quality and presentation.

My son and daughter in law took me here for Sunday lunch, I had no idea this existed but will not forget it, they had discovered it recently. We had a delicious home cooked roast and the welcome was so lovely and friendly. Will certainly look to return, its so much better than the pub chains that are everywhere.

I cannot reminder the last time I visited somewhere for the 1st time and received such a genuine friendly welcome.

I can last week with my stepdaughter and grandson and my Labrador and enjoyed the roast so much that I brought my husband back this week. Decor is in keeping with a country pub. Food on a Sunday is limited to a roast (3 meat choices) or baguettes but the roast is delicious and plentiful. Hosts are friendly and dogs are truly welcomed. Recommended.

Such a great pub with a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Menu is simple, hearty and tasty. Have enjoyed fish, burger and Sunday roast at this pub and would recommend to anyone whether local or looking to drive out to the country one day. Worth booking as does get busy, other times very quiet.

I was dropping my husband off at the airport and we wanted to grab some lunch nearby. This was a lovely little pub - we had roast chicken and sticky coffee pudding by the fire (both super yummy). The man and woman serving us (not sure if they were the owners) were really nice and friendly. We would definitely go back!

Have been visiting this pub for some time now and have to say that it is a great place for a quiet drink, a light lunch or an evening meal. A warm welcome is always waiting and the food just hits the spot whatever you choose. Keep up the good work Nick & Kate!!!

A lovely dog friendly pub with cosy decor and delicious food and generous portions. There was a warm welcome from all the team.

A cosy country pub - set in a lovely country setting, which is a lovely spot for a latte afternoon drink as the sun goes down. Friendly staff and a great landlord team. Would recommend to my family and friends and is a regular spot which we like to visit.

We came across this pub by chance as we were cycling from Hitchin to Harpenden. We didn't know it was here but would definitely call in again. Food was great although it took a little time to arrive it was worth wait.

In a village, Peters Green, near Luton is located The Bright Star Pub. It advertises on a Thursday it closes at lunchtime at 2:30 PM. We arrived at 2 PM on Thursday 24 August and spoken to in the car park by a member of staff who advised that the pub was now closed. No explanation was given for the early closure.

Went for Sunday lunch - Lovely place, great surroundings & very nice bar staff and locals ! Lunch was great, will be going back soon !

Gran servicio, excelente comida, bar boy sexy;) sin duda regresaría buen ambiente, verrrrrrrrrryy :)

Agradable pub país. Muy acogedor. Sencillo y sin pretensiones. Teníamos asado los domingos. Porciones enormes. Nada de lujos, pero muy aceptable. El ruibarbo budín era un poco demasiado dulce para mí, pero no me gusta el azúcar!

Vine aquí después de un largo paseo por una bebida y comida muy necesario. Nos pedido nuestras comidas y reservar una mesa. Llegamos en masa como un grupo de 13 con dos perros y nos dieron la bienvenida. Las comidas tardó un poco en llegar, pero cuando lo hicieron eran encantadores! Buen tamaño de las porciones y la comida era comido! Personal muy amable y un buen ambiente. No hay demasiada gente y a un precio razonable. Estacionamiento de buen tamaño también.

Excelente pequeño pub escondido en la pequeña aldea. Estupendo para hacer una parada en un caminar o montar en bicicleta. Esta vez sólo. Copa rápida ya que encontrarse con amigos de Kimpton. Nick y Kate son unos anfitriones excelentes y el ambiente es muy acogedor. Volveremos pronto!

We turned up, 5 of us, plus Dave the dog, with no booking, on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Straight away, a jug of water was brought out by the landlady for Dave.We all plumped for the traditional roast, and were not disappointed. The yorkies were a bit crisp, but the meat was plentiful and succulent. extra gravy and extra horseraddish fetched by the lovely landlady. Plus cauliflower cheese comes as standard, it's an extra side in most restaurants.Really pleasant afternoon here, hope to be back sometime soon.

Booked a table at The Bright Star for Sunday lunch. We had inadvertently chosen a day when there was a charity tractor run at the pub and, with 41 tractors arriving at the pub, it was soon heaving with people. Luckily it was a beautifully warm sunny day and most people, including us, were able to sit outside the pub and on the village green. There was a great atmosphere and the well kept beer slipped down a treat!We had lunch inside. Lovely traditional roast dinner followed by a generous pudding. All reasonably priced. My only criticism would be that our food order could've been taken at our table instead of having to queue at the busy bar but the people were very friendly and we will definitely be returning.

Came here to meet friends for dinner. On our arrival friends were waiting outside and advised we cancelled plan for dinner. They had been having a drink in the bar( which allows dogs) when they noticed one of the dogs on the seating at our table and sniffing around the table top which had been laid for our dinner. This may not be a problem if you're a dog lover and it's your dog but it is a problem when you are out to dinner and someone else's dog is in contact with your cutlery etc. Needless to say we went elsewhere.

So peters green is about the size of a 20p coin and sports this little gem. Great little local, open fires and dogs. Who could ask for more? Beer and food? Of course, fantastic Sunday roasts and a regular pub type menu. Good service and friendly staff, well worth the visit.

A wonderful village pub, clean and tidy with a roaring open fire or fantastic outdoor seating for summer months. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere friendly. We ate the Sunday lunch and were very impressed with food, wine and dessert. Ale was well kept. Another time we ate their steak dinner - again we enjoyed. Would have no hesitations in returning or recommending to others

Love the pub after Nick and Kate started running it.Great atmosphere, log fire in the winter! Excellent food by Luca the Italian chef.Lots of choice on the wine menu too. Husband says " mean pint of Guiness" couldn't wish for a better and more welcoming local!

Tucked away in Peters Green, the Bright Star really is just that - particularly during the cold/wet winter! Step inside and you'll find a charming, traditional, proper pub with friendly staff, locals, and pooches too (often curled up near the fireplace). We tried the Sunday roast and everyone loved it - perfectly cooked, ample portions, and a relaxed environment made it a real treat (we've gone again since). We enjoyed it so much we gave their steak night a go too and agin, weren't let down with perfectly cooked steaks and again, more than ample portions.Even better is the atmosphere when we've been there as everyone's quite warm and friendly and it's nice to have a pint with the pooches too!Highly recommend but get there early for roast or it runs out!

Lovely little country pub, roaring log fires, nice decor and a friendly atmosphere. 5 of us stopped here last weekend for a Sunday roast, portions are large, all cooked perfectly! So nice we returned again this weekend! Will be are new "go to" pub when we don;t want to cook.

Cycled out to this pub as it's fairly local. The outside of the pub is a traditional country pub with nice brickwork and a sign out front. It had a decent sized car park out back and a bar to chain your bike up. The landlady was very friendly, and asked how my friend and I were, and proceeded to get our drinks.The pub held a good ale, as we enjoyed beers from the local McMullen brewery. There were several ales on tap, as well as lager and various other drinks. A fire was started in the fireplace which was lovely for such a brisk day. Very much enjoyed the experience and will visit again.

We first visited this pub a couple of years ago and was a bit disappointed. Decided to try it again and was pleasantly surprised. It was a beautiful sunny evening and we sat outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered food and it was very good. It was quite busy which was nice to see. We will be returning.

Lovely friendly atmosphere and very welcoming staff. Stopped and took time to chat.This isn't a gastro pub, but there enough of those not too far away!Straight forward, honest menu without being boring.Good beer too.We have been back!

We often pop up here either with family or friends. The pub has a great atmosphere, lovely food and exceptionally friendly staff. The menu is large and the food very tasty. I would recommend to others.

We cant praise this lovely pub enough. Discovered it today and so glad we stopped for lunch there. Excellent food, fairly priced and Kate the landlady was very welcoming.We are now going to fix up a date for our classic car club ( "fivestars") to have a meet there as Kate and Nick said they love classic cars. Our members will love the village setting and so will you. We thoroughly recommend you give this pub a try.You will love it.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Same old boring style food. A pub trying to be poshed up, but the food is like a cafe style. Well over priced for the quantity and quality. The decor has no charm and is very outdated. The pub could do with a make over. I like old charm not old tat. Service like the rest outdated. Good beer but that's credit to the brewery.Not going back.

We had a family meal here, very good food at very reasonable prices.A nice simple menu including a specials board.The staff are very friendly and we will definitely be returning soon.

Nick and Kate have quickly taken the pub back to its successful roots. Bringing in a new chef who can cook amazing steak, which matches perfectly with the well looked after real ales. I couldn't recommend this pub any more now, and so quickly after the last few owners (who looked after it poorly) it means the future is bright.

My friend and I live locally and often ride our horses past the Bright Star which is a lovely little country pub. Today we decided to stop and have a drink and share a light lunch . We had the choice of tying Finn and Fallon up to a helpfully placed hitching rail or holding them whilst they grazed. I popped in, in full riding gear, and asked for two shandies, two carrots (joke) and sandwiches. To my very pleasant surprise a large plate of beautifully chopped carrots appeared with our shandies and very good ciabatta sandwich. The horses were of course delighted and I feel that this represents excellent service from Nick and Kate's establishment. I have actually also had a good pie meal there in the evening but felt I had to report this!

We have known this pub for years, and it is now the best it has ever been. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere and always a warm welcome from Nick, Kate and the staff. Lovely surroundings and walks nearby. Good beer and excellent food. Also appreciated is the lack of loud background music. You can actually relax and have a conversation - the atmosphere is always positive. We are regulars.

We found this pub as we wanted lunch before flying out of Luton Airport. Nice pub/bar. Friendly staff. Good menu. Ample parking around he village green. Bags of seating outside. 10 mins from Luton Airport. But he best bit is sitting outside watching a Red Kite flying around the pub.A very nice pub and well worth a visit.

The Star has changed hands again. Since October 2015 run by Kate and Nick (with the help of their sons).A really friendly and fun atmosphere has been created and it really is a pleasant experience to visit and the quality of the beer is excellent. It is the perfect local, with many regulars as well as visitors (who I expect will become regulars!Kate and Nick have been most accommodating and are trying really hard to make a go of the pub. Give it a try

We were cycling in the area and decided to stop by. Gorgeous looking pub in pretty surroundingsThe staff very welcoming and helpful. We absolutely adored the old decor! We will definitely come back again .

Very cosy inside, the homemade lasagne I had was delicious! The staff were very welcoming and the service was quite despite it being very busy inside!

Went here for Lunch after a cycle ride through the lanes. Fantastic place, proper Pub with pool and darts in the public bar and set up nicely for food in the lounge side. Good beer & good food with a selection of specials. Staff really friendly and attentive and asking for slight changes to the offered menu was no trouble at all. Open fires in both bars would be great in winter.

I took my elderly father who has dementia to the Bright Star on the back of recommendations from other reviewers and was really delighted with the meal and the welcome we enjoyed. There was only one other couple having lunch but that did not deter the cordial welcome and engagement from Sally and Jack and their son who was manning the bar. They couldn't have been more attentive and were never intrusive. The food was as you would expect from a rural pub, tasty and wholesome which was great for my dad who is a bit fussy about his food but loved the sausage and mash and even followed up with ice cream. The beer was good and my dad enjoyed his white wine. I would definitely come back again if I was in the area.

Sally and Jack are fabulous hosts. I was made to feel welcome from my very first visit. The food is plentiful and very good value. I've had two meals there so far, and both have been excellent.I look forward to more visits in the future!

Had a lunch stop here with a bike group.Very friendly welcome from Jack & Sally.Food was no frills pub fare - I had a cheese & mushroom omelette & chips - very nicely cooked and served.The ale was good I had a couple of pints and it was very well kept.Enjoyed the visit & will be going back with the family.

My wife and I had walked the dog, didn't fancy cooking so popped in the Bright Star with dog in tow. We were welcomed and made to feel at home. Food was excellent - sirloin was cooked just as we like it. Beer was well maintained. Very good value for money. Good food in a relaxed atmosphere.

We liked this place so much we visited it 3 times in January. It is the classic village pub, a warm welcome, good home cooked food and good ale., What more could you wish for!The welcome, children and will do smaller portions if requested

A rare thing in this day & age - a proper country pub with great pub food, huge portions and a warm welcome whatever the time of day or day of the week. You feel like a local from the first time you go in & it's everything a village pub should be & more. Sally, the landlady, has turned this place around & other McMullen pubs should take note. Treats for the dog and for you......especially if the chicken goujons are on the specials board! This is good walking and cycling country & you might even find a couple of horses tethered in the big garden. If it's too cold to sit outside, they also have 2 open fires so it's very easy to while away an afternoon here. More pubs should go back to this format as it's a win-win for everyone.

What a great dog friendly pub. We were greeted warmly, served quickly but without being rushed. The roast dinner was yummy and plenty of it. Everyone was just so lovely. The locals were very friendly too. Our dog was spoilt rotten with lots of love and a treat or two. I would highly recommend a visit and there are a couple of circular walks too which bring you back to the pub so you can eat then return for a pint. Thanks for a super visit.

The family who run The Bright Star are courteous and very friendly. Good pub food and and a very pleasant environment inside and out make it our favourite. Over the past year we have become regular customers because of the way they welcome us and our dog who has been thoroughly spoilt by staff and customers alike.

This is my dogs nose after a visit to the local village pub on Friday evening, where a dog sitting at the bar (with its owner) carried out an unprovoked attack on our dog. We were then told, by the barman, that the dog is knowingly unsocial..! With blood dripping from his nose we sat outside for a quick drink. We didn't get shown any concern from the Landlady herself or an apology from her. Surely she should accept some responsibility for letting a knowingly unsocial dog sit in her pub?? I was prepared to let this slide until this evening when I walked my other dog past the pub and I got an unnecessary 'joke' about my dog being vicious, while the landlady just sat there and smirked..! Thankfully our doggys wound has been checked by the vet; it is a deep cut but healing nicely. Needless to say I will not be revisiting the pub anytime soon and I just hope that the owner of this dog thinks twice about taking his animal to a public place and it doesn't cause any future harm to another dog or (god forbid) a human being.

Visited here before going on a walk. Very friendly and drinks and food reasonably priced. Good pub grub. My only criticisms would be the hanging baskets looked in need of TLC and there were a lot of dog-ends around the outside seating area. All in all though it is a good pub and we will be returning.

A proper country pub, friendly and welcoming.Beer good, and nice food. Willing to do children size portions for me when I am cycling, the full-size ham egg and chips is too generous if you have to pedal home.Entertaining events too: top quality darts and occasional pub quizzes.If you can't pedal there you could drive and park (plenty of space) and then do a circular walk ... along Farrs Lane then right and right again back across the fields. It makes the home made soup or burger taste even better, and helps to work up a thirst. And you will probably see a Buzzard or Red Kite.They have a book library, and local fresh eggs for sale.Enjoy it, a little of the beaten track but well worth the detour.

The Bright Star is a lovely country pub with great McMullen's beer and good simple food at a low price. The special burger (home made meatballs) was really nice with hot chips and salad. The soup was homemade and delicious. Friendly staff. Will be back

The Star has, yet again, changed hands and is now run (from mid-October 2013) by Sally and Andrew, together with their son Jack.Since their take-over the quality of the beers has improved significantly and the menu has been "rebalanced" away from the gastro-pub towards proper country pub food (all of which is home cooked from fresh ingredients.The village (Peters Green) is quiet and although close to both Luton and Harpenden doesn't really have much passing traffic - it's almost on the road to nowhere, which is why its only pub is a favourite with the locals.You have to make the effort to get there, but the pub is open (as is the kitchen) from 12 am until late, daily.Go on, give it a try.

Between the village of Kimpton and the town of Luton lies a little hamlet known as Peters Green, some say St. Peters Green of Perry Green. Here you will find a McMullen pub, The Bright Star. McMullen is the local brewery based at the County seat Hertford, the pub is on the border between Herts. and Beds.their ale said by some to be an acquired taste. July the licensee keeps a good pint and you will never get a more freindly welcome anywhere. Her 'helper' Jenny can teach many a thing in geetings and hospitality. The food at first appears expensive but when you receive your order it is worth the cost. My wife had a milky coffee and a brie,bacon and cranberry biquite, too much for her so I had to help her out! This is the place to slow down, relax and take stock no rush here, you can also buy some really, really fresh eggs, I'm surprised the're not still warm. Have a little drive out some fine day and feel at ease in the country.
