I would not go here for the food - sandwiches were dry and uninspiring. Chicken wings were ok. The place had a lunch deal (11 pounds for food and drinks) - but due to a computer issue they could not offer this when we were there. The drinks and atmosphere were nice however. Come for a pint but go somewhere else for food!

Horrible Sunday roast, completely raw vegetables, overcooked meat, very dry potatoes, I managed to eat everything only thanks to the mayonnaise, an experience never to be repeated again

The food is excellent, the dishes a little particular but delicious, not the usual fish and chips, etc. the price is good considering the quality and the location, then there are offers with more dishes at a lower price, good beer and various choices.

The restaurant experience was frustrating. They don't take orders at the tables, forcing you to leave your seat and climb the stairs just to place an order. It felt both inconvenient and ridiculous, taking away from the enjoyment of the meal. This setup is unnecessarily difficult and detracts from what could otherwise be a pleasant dining experience.

We walked a long distance to get in here because of the positive reviews. Sunday afternoon around 17. The schedule says it’s open until 19h. We arrived and a rude guy in the entry doesn’t let us in, and he says: we are closing. Not even a kind “hi, how are you?” What a disrespectful and poor customer service. 1 star is too much for you.

From a non-english perspective, this seems like a true english pub. Don't be put off by the staff's character, they are not here to wipe your shoes, just living their life and very efficient as well as smiling. People are criticizing their unfriendliness but I don't think staff should have to bend over and call you majesty when they are serving you. Efficiency and smiles are all that you need to have a good time. The food and drinks are great and the pub itself is pretty. Customer service is as it should be and the lady serving us was nice. The young gentleman at the bar, probably in his early twenties, named Aldo is a nice man and probably a good drinking buddy. Good experience overall. Vegetarian and vegan options.

Staff were quiet but pleasant. Helped us bring drinks to the table. Every where was sticky however. Surfaces and floor. Signs every where saying toilets for paying customers only. As a paying customer (£6 a pint) the toilets were awful. Downstairs ladies one out of order the other had no seat. Asked and was told to go upstairs behind some rope and up some stairs. One toilet covered in water spraying from the bowl, the other seat hanging off.

As a child, I had been here before, and in my memories, this was a fantastic (and delicious) place to have lunch. After several years, I finally got to visit the place again, and it fully lived up to my memories! Quick, friendly staff, located at a beautiful central spot near Buckingham Palace and the adjacent park! Highly recommended, by far one of the best fish and chips places in London.

My friend and I have only been in London for a brief trip. But we had heard great things about the pubs in London. We found ourself a traditional pub across the road from the tube station St James Park. We were greeted warmly and the staff spoke through how we order as we have never been to a traditional English pub. I ordered the steak and ale pie and the cod goujon sandwich , this was amazing. Anyone visiting London I would reccomend this Pub by far !!

We order our drinks and our food, our drinks are served but we are told that we can only order the food at 8pm (it is 7:40pm). We drink our drinks, we head to the bar to order the food at 8 p.m., we are told it is not 8 p.m. 5 minutes later, a waiter removes the cards from the tables. We finish our drinks and go eat elsewhere.... Terrible contact with staff. Note that a dish was served at 7:45 p.m. at the table next door. Damage

7/21/24. I had an extremely disappointing experience at The Old Star. As a Black customer, I felt unwelcome and disrespected from the moment I walked in. Despite the restaurant being half-empty, I was ignored for several minutes while other patrons were promptly attended to. When I finally spoke with an employee, I was given conflicting information and treated rudely by the staff, including the shift lead who showed blatant bias and unprofessionalism. I strongly encourage fellow Black patrons to consider other dining options where they will be treated with the respect they deserve. This establishment's behavior was unacceptable, and it is clear that there is a significant issue with how they treat customers of color.

I drink here quite regularly and it’s fine for a post-work beer. But when I brought friends for lunch today it was embarrassing. We collectively paid £50 for 4 meals and portions were small and cold. One meal came with a portion of coleslaw that had clearly been left out for a while (see pic), as it was dry and brown.

So you ask the barmaid what the darkest ale is and was told Greene King IPA......but said barmaid recently served a guest ale to a punter and which was much darker, so top tip don't ask the staff about beer, they have no idea. Large wine, pint and coke over £20....ouch. Ale was slightly on the turn....sediment at bottom. So I head to Wetherspoons afterwards for a better pint and service. London pubs like these trade on heritage only.....not on a beer or service. Shame. Also note have to ask for top up of ale as a large head is not acceptable but barmaid clearly happy to serve under a pint which is against trades description.

The worst pub/restaurant in London. The waitresses were antipathetic, if you don't go to grab napkins and sauces, you just can wait until you leave, the same to clean up the table. The food (burgers for the 3 of us), were dry, with no sauces, few cheese, small piece of bacon, 2 small onion rings, ...), the fries were also dry, really it wasn't worth the price at all. Just a smile to the customers will be better for everyone. Avoid this pub, which is crowded because it is at the exit of the park. The waitresses are terrible with everyone, the tables are not cleared, therefore not cleaned, they serve you and put everything down without giving any cutlery, napkins, or seasonings, the food (there were 3 of us and we took 3 cheese burgers -bacon) was dry, without sauces (barely), we looked for the cheese, the fries were dry, 2 small onion rings in short, the worst food we have eaten in 3 days in London.

Inicialmente nos sorprendió / preocupamos inicialmente por lo tranquilo que era el lugar para un sábado por la noche. Como resultado, le faltaba un poco de atmósfera, pero esto no le resta valor a una comida muy agradable con un excelente servicio. La comida fue cocinada y presentada perfectamente y representaba una buena relación calidad-precio, especialmente dada la ubicación del restaurante.

This branch isn't as busy as other branches nearby but still a long queue because there's only one staff serving. The food and drinks is pretty average. And you need to ask for a pass code for using their toilet downstairs.

Beautifully located cafe on a canal boat in one of London’s loveliest areas. Short menu - paninis, baked potatoes, bacon and egg rolls etc, with some lovely cakes and decent tea. Seats on canal path give you a great location for watching the world go by.
