The Star in Horsham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pub something for everyone, good beer price, selection of sports on all TV's. One thing I don't like is vaping is allowed inside.

Not been here for years, so decided to give it a try for Sunday Lunch. WOW, fantastic from start to finish. Service was superb! Food was perfect! We each had a Sunday roast, lamb, chicken and nut roast, all delicious. Staff were so attentive which makes a real difference nowadays. Didn't realise it had changed hands recently. Do not change anything! Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back!!

My partner and I had roast lamb for Sunday lunch and it was delicious. It was a generous helping and served with six different vegetables. In addition the service was was excellent. Highly recommended. We will be returning shortly.

Simply had to write a little something . Had an impromptu lunch with my husband. We haven't been here Since Kosta has left and we do love the pub. Everything was brilliant. Beer excellent .we had the Doombar. Lunch was perfect and the staff were wonderful. So thank you to the wonderful people at the Star .

Great food, Greek lamb specialty and quality Sunday roasts, plentiful portions. Great service and ambiance. Book well in advance, lovely old-English pub setting with large car park. Good range of menu foods for all tastes.

Consistently excellent. The roast dinners are exceptional value. I just had half a chicken, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, green and red cabbage, and cauliflower cheese as standard for £16.50. Attentive, friendly staff. Great beers on tap. Good wine selection. Lovely homely interior. Can’t speak highly enough of this wonderful pub

Ended up here due to booking error by the Plough. Absolutely delighted. Sunday roast is beyond amazing. Food is to die for. Tasty, great sized portions and piping hot. Perfect. Will be back.

Nice country pub in the village where I lived for many years. Nice service and good beers. Opted for a sandwich with salad and chips, which was good. Somehow though, I thought it would be toasted - not to worry. Took me down memory lane......

Came in as quiet group for a lunchtime drink. When we came in there was no staff at the bar so we walked into the restaurant where a white haired old lady asked if we were eating. When we replied no she told us off for being in the restaurant and ordered use back to the bar. When there I ordered a coke and asked for a food menu where she rudely asked "what for?". Old question when you thought about getting food The coke treated older and flat which just rounded the unpleasant experience. Umm colleagues felt there same and we had none nothing for her ride treatment. Maybe this use a locals only pub and no one else is welcome

Just wanted to thank the team today. After our booked table at another pub couldn’t serve us, due to a power cut, we were accommodated at short notice, made to feel welcome & served absolutely delicious food! We know where to book next time 👍👍

Really friendly welcoming pub with nice cosy atmosphere. Beer in good condition too. I was here for a Sunday roast which was very good. Generous portion of lamb with plenty of veg. My only comment would be as it was served in a bowl, rather than a plate, everything was rather drowned in too much gravy. I would suggest ease off with that and it would be perfect.

Everything about the evening was excellent. The service was friendly and efficient and the food quality was first class. It was a quiet Thursday evening, but this pub deserves to be full every night. Lastly, the price was medium, but very good value.

Excellent food, diverse menu, friendly staff, stunning location, lovely atmosphere, ample parking and substantial portions. Why would you need to go anywhere else?

Used to come here a lot then covid. Children etc. The plough and attic took a booking from us and when we arrived they don't serve dinner Sunday evenings. So went to the star where we had a fantastic evening. Good was generous portion and very yummy. Will definitely be back.

although we don't go out very often Kostas always remembers you and his food is always memorable .A great relaxed evening with friends and fabulous food . If you want real food cooked with passion its the place to go . Excellent.many thanks Kostas to you and your staff

The menu was good and the food excellent. Located in a very pleasant Sussex village. Good parking and reasonable prising

My wife and one of her girlfriends visited yesterday for lunch, as this pub is ideally located between where both live and they thoroughly enjoyed the warm welcome and excellent food.

Lunch with old friends almost didn't happen, after floods made access difficult. However, after a six mile detour we made it ( only five minutes late!) The welcome was as friendly as ever, and the food was just spot on. My wife had the small portion of lasagna - which wasn't small at all, and I had one of the nicest steak and stilton pies I've had the pleasure of sampling. The service was efficient, there was a contented buzz of conversation among the customers, and the pub was lovely and warm on a cold January day.

Joint Birthday treat for Mum in law and I. A warm welcome from friendly staff. Kosta, Sue and their staff went above and beyond to make evening special. The food was amazing even the small portions are huge. My husband loved the burger. The pita is proper Greek flatbread, so delicious. Highly recommended

Once again The Star deserves praise. Praise for the lovely trout I had today; perfectly cooked and my wife's moussaka got the thumbs up too. Our two guests were equally impressed, not least by the fact that this pub isn't part of some anonymous chain so deserves our support through these challenging times. They gave us a copy of the Christmas menu which has plenty of choices at affordable prices.

Our party of 2 visited for a light lunch midweek in late SEP. It was our first visit. We were both looking for a sandwich and beer. London Pride on draught was very good. We opted for 1 x chicken lettuce and mayo and 1...

Very tasty Sunday roasts, massive portions great value, service good, landlord very attentive, will be back, thank you!

We have passed this pub several times and this time decided to give it a try. We are so glad that we did! Nice welcome, good beer and superb food. There was absolutely nothing to criticise, and we will definitely come again.

We were noticed as soon as we walked in, ordered drinks and then ten minutes later our food order was taken. We then waited 10-15 minutes for the food arrive. Ideal as obviously they were cooking our food! It arrived and was seriously delicious, cooked...

Excellent pub food with a Greek twist. What a find! Really beautiful, freshly cooked food from a varied & interesting menu. Warm & friendly welcome & service. Highly recommend giving it a try 😊

Six of us met up to celebrate a milestone birthday. Most popular was the moussaka both vegetarian and normal. All home cooked and it tasted it. It's just a 20 minute drive from North Holmwood but well worth it. Great service, sensible prices and a...

An unexpected pleasure to have lunch at this quaint pub. Had the Fish and Chips and they were cooked to perception. It was a pleasure to meet the Landlady Sue. I will return to try out their highly rated Sunday Lunch.

Last visited in the late 1960s when my Saturday occupation was driving the local bus service, the pub has not changed too much over the years. Lots of wood, low beams and rambling small areas this remains very much a village pub, certainly not converted...

Main lamb with mash was lovely, my wife had lasagna which she thoroughly enjoyed, to full for sweet so we’ve booked Saturday

Outstanding, an excellent evening food and service were great. I had the ham, egg and chips, my friend had the pie. Happily recommend and bring family and friends here.

Me and my friend were kicked out tonight for going through the garden gate to get tobacco from coop and was asked and refused service what's wrong for buying fags and still paying for service I want my money back I'd advice everyone to avoid...

I have been to Pubs and Restaurants all over the country and nothing compares to the consistency of excellent food at The Star. The chicken Sunday Roast is flawless. I can compare this to others from the New Forest to North Yorkshire and nothing can...

Went here on the back of some recommendations and it was well worth it. The starters of fried brie and the whitebait - generous portions and we shared these between four of us. The mains - we had a sirloin (cooked very well) but I...

The pub itself is a beautiful building with an interesting history, but the highlight for us is the food which is of the highest quality, plentiful and extremely reasonably priced. The moussaka is the best I have eaten, anywhere, and I will definitely return.

We had an excellent meal at the star today. I had fish of the day and it was brilliant. Good service too. Very pleasant serving staff. All very clean. Very politely requested to wear masks which we we happy about. All in all a great...

I went here with a friend for a long overdue catch up. Sat outside. There were a few others there which added to the jovial atmosphere. Food was delicious, generous portions and well presented. I had chicken burger and chips. Chicken tasty and fresh, chips...

The first thing to say is that they only paid lip service to Covid protocols.We arrived first and had to provide our details, but our friends, who arrived later, did not. And on two occasions while we were there, they served drinks at the bar...

Went today for Sunday lunch. Roast beef was lovely very much enjoyed it. Great service too, when food came the server said if you need anything extra to add let me know which I thought was nice. Would definatly recommend a visit. Thank you.

What a fabulous find. Travelling to Sheffield Park we came across The Star and stopped to admire the horses outside. We asked and got a table to have lunch. The Lamb roast dinner was very very nice. Very nice. The lamb was very tasty, the...

Popped in on the off chance for an early dinner.lovely pub.friendly staff.had a superb roast lamb and beef dinner .totally recommend x

Fantastic food, service and welcome. The whitebait starter was the best ever and the steak main course was awesome. . . eat here and be wowed! Adam, the chef, really knows how to prepare and cook amazing food.

A very reliable local with genuine ancient features - duck or like me bang your head on the beams if your over six foot tall. There is a good selection of ales and wines (can't go wrong with the house). On the food front their...

First time for us (party of four). A wonderfully old pub where anyone over five feet five inches needs to duck to avoid the low beams and especially the doorways( this might be a slight exaggeration!). A pleasant atmosphere with an equally pleasant staff. Not...

Wonderful as always, always going back. Specials are always good and regularly changing so there is always something new to try.

We came in for a starter as we were eating later it was delicious and some were having Sunday lunch which looked amazing. We would definitely have a meal in here again.

Excellent quality and value for money, with friendly staff. Prompt and polite service. Would recommend to anyone.

This is a fantastic traditional English Village local serving excellent food and well kept beer cellar Well worth a visit off the beaten track

Had a really super Christmas lunch with our work colleagues - 14 of us. Paid a deposit and put out menu choices in ahead of the day. Food was hot, tasty and served in really good time. Thanks to a Sue who looked after us with other members of her team. It was really busy and the other customers were also enjoying themselves. Many thanks from all of us.

We tried the food here as we have booked a Xmas meal here,just thought we would try it out,was not disappointed,homemade food was excellent,staff were kind & attentive with us,looking forward to bringing my family here on the 14th for the great menu.😍

Popped in to the star on Sunday 10/11/19 at 14.25 and food finished at 14.30 and we couldn’t have been made more welcome. We all had a fantastic 3 course lunch , absolutely delicious

We visited the Star during our stay in Rusper, the beer was just ok and the pub lacked atmosphere although it wasn't unpleasant .

Medieval pub with reasonable choice of food between Greek and traditional English but unfortunately no local ales. Very busy so you have to book, we found it cramped and not very comfortable and certainly aimed at the restaurant business rather than a comfortable drinking establishment. We chose a couple of English dishes the seabass was very good but my wife’s sausage and mash was nothing special at £13.50 as one would have expected the sausages to be from a local butcher rather than a wholesaler. The staff are mostly friendly and helpful so the place is worth a visit.

This pub, with its low ceilings, is full of character and dates back to the Tudor era. It has a small selection of real ales and a menu which features a number of Greek meals. We were pleased with the food we chose and the service was good. We shall certainly return next time we're in the area.

Despite not pre booking we were squeezed in on a busy Saturday night.

This was a midday lunchtime booking, excellent service, the food was outstanding. The lamb (Kleftico) was exquisite, incredibly well cooked and a substantial portion size. I've told all my frends - an easy recommendation, and I'll be back agan there soon!!

We actually dined here twice in one week. Very warm and friendly welcome, for the four of us (two adults and two children). Great food, freshly cooked (you can tell), decent quality (and quantity!) and good value for money. Lovely surroundings too. Well worth a visit or two!

We were lucky to get a table as it was very busy on a Monday night. Food choice, quantity and quality excellent. Staff friendly and excellent. Real ale excellent. If in area would certainly go back. Recommend booking a table.

The Star Inn is easy to find in the centre of Rusper. It has its own large car park. The team were welcoming and quick to settle us at a table for lunch. The menu, also online, had plenty of choice and a smaller portion option. We had a sirloin steak and a haddock and leek bake served with salad and a baguette which had been freshly oven cooked. The plates were left empty. And we left full. We weren't rushed despite our 2pm arrival. Good value and excellent food.

We booked a table not to be disappointed. This was simple and easy, the lady who took our booking was very friendly. On arrival the staff were attentive and polite. The food arrived in good order. It was tasty hot and very enjoyable. If anything large portions so don't snack before you go. A very enjoyable evening.

Ever since the late 15th century, this building has stood on its corner, its windows surveying every person and vehicle who passes through the village. It's an amazing place, unspoilt, although it is clear from the notches in the ceiling beams that it was once divided up into much smaller rooms. At one side of the huge fireplace are the little doors to what was once a priest's hole, and the landlord said that there had once been a one-mile tunnel leading from it to the local nunnery, now sadly defunct.

We visited the pub after having had a long walk. We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the experience immensely.

Having checked trip advisor I decided on visiting The Star for a evening meal. I was warmly greeted and offered a very nice table. This is a fusion of traditional fayre and Greek dishes. After an amazing starter of goats cheese in pancetta with fine beans, a main of salmon followed by an amazing lemon and ginger cheesecake the visit was complete - really well presented and very friendly staff I will be visiting again and strongly recommend you try.

We attended as a group of 6. Easy parking despite being a Saturday. Pub had a great atmosphere. Food was great, with a very large choice. Highly recommended

A good menue again those smaller lunches suit many of us ,one dies have to wait as everything is made fresh many like his greek choices also

Chose The Star because my husband wanted a Greek Moussaka. What a disappointment. Dried up and tasted awful. Although we didn't pay for it and the staff were apologetic, the Greek owner was too busy talking to the locals to come and apologise in person.

Went for a drink and sandwich. Nice pub but limited tables available as mostly reserved. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich on brown bread and a glass of Chardonnay. Sandwich was very nice with hot chicken and a small salad. Chardonnay was very ordinary and not worth the money. Good menu overall. Many Greek menu items and the barman sounded Greek. Good car park. BT internet.

It is ages since we visited the Star in Rusper but thought we would give it another shot. The pub is very old and rustic with a good overall atmosphere. Costas, the landlord offers both Greek and English pub cuisine. We opted for two dishes from the Greek menu and both were quite delicious. We also took our dog there which was not a problem and we noticed several dogs there inside the pub so the Star can definitely be described as 'dog friendly.' I was particularly impressed by the young lady who served us with both food and drinks, she was extremely helpful and polite, alert and efficient, which added to our enjoyment of the evening. Our last experience at the Star in Rusper a couple of years ago was not that good so we did not return until last week. I am happy that we did and we shall definitely return there again soon.

The Star at Rusper is our favourite venue for the annual Sussex Campervans staff Christmas dinner. They never let us down, and in December 2018 I think they cooked the best food we've had there. The owners and staff are unfailingly pleasant and helpful - and they coped with our large group without any mix-ups.

Four of us made a trip to The Star for Sunday lunch. We had not visited this Inn for some months but found both the food and service as good as before.

Fabulous food great staff you can even bring your dog if needed would recommend a visit Good special board with smaller portions avaialbe for a lighter lunch

Following the success of our last visit, our friends suggested meeting here for another meal, and again it was a huge success. The service was as warm and personal as before, our table was tucked away so we could chat away to our heart's content, and the food was again excellent. Between us we enjoyed the calves liver, stiffado (Greek beef stew), smoked haddock fishcakes and the chicken and ham pie, followed by a variety of puddings. We tried three different wines, all of which were perfectly drinkable, and the staff provided a big jug of iced water for the table without being asked. This may be the start of a tradition!

Good food, good service and great atmosphere. Four of us all had different staters and mains. all were good, piping hot and delicious.

Taken here for a birthday treat. Nice oldie world pub Resturant with great food. Great atmosphere and pleasantly arranged. Several specials and small menu of house Greek dishes always available. Good ale and drinks. Best book

Visited the Star with friends and family got off to a bad start at the bar when we were left standing for a long time due to a confusion over who was serving who. After that things only got better. The waitress was very helpful and attentive the menu was a treat to look at. This pub now as a strong Greek influence in its menu and the classical Greek dishes appear in abundance. We had a mixed order of English and Greek and all arrived at the same time and piping hot. The starters were great and well presented followed by superb main coarse's. The deserts were fantastic but i would have liked to see some Greek offering. However overall it was a great meal and the surroundings of this traditional style pub are good. Defiantly on the list for another visit. Well done everyone......

Staying overnight at Hills Barn before our holiday tomorrow, Kate recommended The Star for an evening meal. What a beautiful pub and restaurant, the food was excellent and the service exceptionally warm too.

...you can't miss. Our local friend recommended The Star, and both meals were right on. My wife had never experienced a pub pie, and she was delighted. Great food, carefully prepared...and they care about what you think. Reservations suggested for dinner. Stop

We went here for lunch with friends. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was excellent and very plentiful. Would certainly go there again and recommend it to anyone.

We stopped here early one evening, what a great accidental find! Superb hearty food, huge menu of both heavily Greek influence and good English food and fantastic friendly helpful local staff. We planned on a quick bite mid journey, ended up having a 3 course meal that lasted all evening. The place was 90% reserved tables by locals (always a great sign) but they managed to squeeze us in. Within an hour the place was full.

Just a few miles off A264 on route to Crawley, is Rusper, a small village with a great pub with classic pub grub.

After debating which of two pubs in Rusper village we should go to, we picked the Star. If I'm honest, when we first went in my heart sank a little and I had a nasty feeling we had made the wrong choice. I can't really put my finger on why, just gut instinct. I'm very pleased to say I was WRONG. We both love Greek food and on the basis the landlord of the Star is Greek and must know what he's doing, we both chose moussaka, it was excellent and as good as any we've ever had on numerous holidays in Greece and Cyprus. For dessert hubby chose ice cream while I couldn't resist the apple and rhubarb crumble, which was huuuge, my husband had to help me out and we still left some. It was delicious. We will both definitely return if we're in the area.

We met up with friends for a meal, and ended up having a fabulous Friday. The greeting was warm, and we were offered a choice of table. A big jug of chilled water was promptly placed on the table, swiftly followed by alcoholic beverages. Both the waitress and the landlord were friendly, and checked regularly to see if we needed anything. They were happy to answer our queries regarding the food, and our meals were very obviously freshly cooked, and absolutely delicious. This pub is clearly the centre of the community, and the atmosphere throughout our stay was lively, even boisterous, but always friendly. We lingered three and a half hours over our meal, and went into the evening feeling very contented.

Popped in with a friend for a quick snack! Food was delivered promptly and waitress was very attentive and made sure we were happy! Very reasonably priced and we both enjoyed our time! We were seated in a quiet area as requested! Great service and yummy garlic bread

My partner and I visited here yesterday evening. The roasts were so good! Plenty of veg including cauliflower cheese, fave!! I hope to return soon!

We love going here for lunch after one of our local walks. The staff are so friendly, the pub is cosy and always full of happy customers. The food is great and very filling.

I have had a meal at this pub both in the evening at during the day and on each and every visit the food is superb. They have an extensive menu and a specials board and it matters not what you order, everything is always hot and wonderful. The prices are reasonable and the service is quick and efficient and I am not a bit surprised that you always have to book a table. It must be one of the very few independent pub in the old style that has survived and that is down to the landlord/landlady. Well done all at The Star.

We had to wait an hour for our meal to come. When it finally arrived, it was luke warm and bland to put it politely. Very disappointing. Will not be returning.

We visited this lovely country pub for lunch. Great menu with main courses & also 'smaller lunches'. We chose a moussaka, curry & liver & onions & all were excellent. Good service.

We took our son and girlfriend for Sunday the food was uninspiring a small selection of vegetables barely enough for 2 let alone 4, service was not great. will not be visiting again after our experience

My 14 year old daughter keeps consuming the lamb kleftico despite it's size. Kosta is the perfect host. Steak and kidney pudding very special too. Good value for money in a proper pub.

Been here many times... a true delight Food is delicious. Service is great and they have Fullers London Pride on tap

Eat here one evening with work colleagues. they had a special board which included sausage and mash with onion gravy....

Lovely menu, nice atmosphere, the best customer service. Can not fault this place at all, my husband's favourite is the...

Very quaint and quirky pub with a warm welcome. Recommend tbe tsasiki and stiffado. Cajun chicken burger also good.

Lunch with a friend. Pleasant old pub. A disappointing exterior but with a rather charming higgledy piggledy interior. Good range of bar food and the interesting addition of a Greek menu. My scampi and chips very good, chips excellent, and really nice sorbets. Friendly, efficient staff. Sizeable car park.

6 of us lunched here recently on a Sunday. The pub is nicely located in the village with plenty of parking. It's a characterful place with loads of beams and has not been spoiled by a modern refurb. A decent selection of real ales is available.

When staying in Rusper I always eat here..
