This pub could win an award for worst pub in wallington, but i feel like its competing for worst pub in south london. I guess it’s called the star because thats how much it deserves out of 5. Servers seem like theyre serving a prison sentence rather than people at a bar im. Clientele are aggressive and coked up, the star out of five.

As someone who lives local to this pub I do often go here as a last resort as it stays late with a random crowd all the time and karaoke

We went here for a family birthday as we knew it would be budget friendly. We had booked a table but hadn’t confirmed properly but Steve the manager kindly sorted a table out for our group of 8. The pub is like the good bits about a spoons but without the smelly carpet and more welcoming . The football was on and the place has a lively atmosphere but not too rowdy. Rabina behind the bar is lovely and goes the extra mile for you.

Had a darts match there last night The Guinness was a bit ropey so changed to Bitter they pulled the pint and the first mouthful was awful and it stank it was full of the pipe cleaner. I was sick in the toilet which got rid of it. The staff didn’t apologise just replaced with a ropey Guinness. They kept the pump open said they were changing the barrel. Still ill this morning. With this in mind wouldnt try the food can’t imagine the health complications from that.

Racist... Two Asia guys wanted to watch last games of the season of premier league... Walked over to the bar, pub wasn't busy. A bar tender was serving a couple, finished serving knowingly we were waiting ignored us and served another person. Now been at the bar for few minutes, another bar tender comes along see us and says who's next someone orders a drink when I stated am I waiting here for fun... A third bar tender turns up and acknowledged a local and serves them directly eve after seeing us awaiting there before the guys walks over to the bar. Now the first bar tender finished serving, knowing we were still waiting after 10 minutes to get a drink, again ignored us and servers another person. So annoyed, we walked away after realizing this is a racists pub and did not want to serve asians. This people need to be educated and treat people equally and look past peoples colour. Shame on all of you who allow this to happen this day an age.

Was coming for a quick lunch on the 24/9 and arrived to two unenthusiastic servers. Ordered 2 pints of coke, received 2 small glasses instead. 2 meals were ordered which was delivered personally by the chef in his uniform, which isnt particularly hygienic. The meals were also half made. BBQ chicken melt had no BBQ on it, and the nachos had sprinkled cheese that wasn't melted and no guacamole, with sour cream that tasted more like yogurt than anything else. We did let the server know at the time and they offered to have the meal remade, but we asked for a refund instead to eat elsewhere.

Popped in this morning for the first time after getting lost on the train. Charged my phone and ordered a pint of Guinness from the bar that tasted fresh as a daisy and got change from a fiver. The Welsh guy working behind the bar (think he was the boss) was very helpful and directed me to London Bridge on the trains. I ended up staying for a burger which was well priced and decent and was on a great offer with a beer. If I lived locally I would be a fixture here.

We were actually on our way to a Chinese restaurant, but found that it was closed when we arrived. The Star happened to be nearby. We glanced through the window at a menu we could see on an empty table. Luckily, it had some vegetarian options, so my wife agreed to try it.England is currently experiencing a heat wave, so we really can’t hold The Star responsible for the hot barroom. After walking through the entire bar (including the “garden” outside) we sat at a table in the front for a few minutes, but no staff came to our table. Maybe it’s a British thing that you have to go to the bar for service, so I approached. The bartender saw me and approached. We decided on a nightly special that included the menu selections of British fare and a pint of beer for £5.99. I was pleased that a vegetarian entree was included on the list for the specials. My wife had vegan sausage links with mashed potatoes, peas, and gravy. I had beef pie, mashed potatoes and gravy. We had moved to another table near the front door where it was a little cooler. As soon as our beers were poured, the bartender motioned to me to come and get them. When I approached, she asked me to pay for the meal. I was a little surprised that they wanted money before the food arrived, but I paid. When the food arrived, it was hot, plentiful and tasty. My wife couldn’t eat all of hers and I don’t think she’s ever finished a pint of beer in her life, so I helped. I probably would have ordered another beer, but since I paid in advance, I didn’t want to put another charge on my card. When we got back to our room I was shocked after reading the other reviews. I’m guessing that there is new staff in place since the last reviews that reflected such poor ratings. I believe in giving credit where credit is due. Was it the best service I’ve ever received? Not even close. However, the value of our meal was worthy of 4 stars. According to my bank, the total charge was $15.83 and we were well fed and quenched. No complaints.

Went there with my girlfriends family (European) , 2 of which forgot their ID, I went back to get it as they went inside, during the time it took me to go there and back (about 10 minutes in total) they were threatened to be kicked out twice and another customer tried to pick a fight with them (which the staff did nothing about). When I arrived back with the ID the staff did what looked like photographing it on one of their phones without permission as another inspected it (probably to find another reason to kick us out) after which she began needlessly commenting on how one of the passports were expiring soon so they won’t accept it next time (as if we’d be coming back). When we ordered drinks we again got no greeting were rushed, spoken to rudely and without any form of respect. Our drinks were handed to us as quickly as possible so that she could go back to talking to her friends. The name of the staff member who’d been causing all these problems for us was Sophie (I’d suggest getting served by someone else or better yet not coming here in the first place). When we went to go play pool (the only reason we came here) we could hardly play since people decide to sit right next to the pool table so you can’t move your cue back (despite there being plenty of seats elsewhere in the pub and us clearly struggling to play around them because they don’t want to move). Would definitely not recommend this place to anyone and will personally avoid coming here in the future.

A very good local that caters for all ages and needs, has the ability to keep the old school of being a locals pub alive, good beer and food at very competitive prices.Darts,pool and quizzes. Came into town for shopping and got a bit peckish, so popped in ( being a Tuesday) it was " big burger and drink day", what can I say £5.79 for a fully loaded burger and a pint, better quality than Witherspoons .

Most people will write about the trouble in this pub and whilst true and they have tried to clean it up with more security, my issue is the service. The staff rarely come to the far end of the bar by the main road entrance. You will quite often see them chatting at the other end of the bar where it is often too crowded to gain access. The lady who seems to be in charge, Eastern European lady with dark hair, is particularly unaware there are customers waiting. If no staff are visible, it is work checking in the area with the dishwashers where the staff will be chatting or catching up with text messages. It could be much better but there really needs to be team that are watching for all customer needs rather than standing in one particular spot behind in the bar waiting to serve the customer directly in front of them The young chap behind the bar is really good btw

We arrived before 12 so had to wait for the kitchen to open. After enquiring if we could order food early we were told by one member of staff that there was a problem in the kitchen and nothing would turn on. We waited for 5 minutes then asked another member of staff if the problem had been sorted to be met with a confused look and to be told there wasn't a problem, so guessing we were just told a lie instead of just saying that we had to wait an extra 15 minutes until 12. When the food came everything was so overdone we were served black cheesy garlic bread,Crispy chicken wings that were all stuck together, A burger that almost broke my teeth when I bit into it as the patty was so hard,A shrivelled, mostly black bit of corn on the cob from the children's menu,A bbq chicken melt that at first sight looked like it had a leg bone in it as the bacon was so black and hard, as was the cheese on top of it. The staff are rude and unhelpful and didn't even know if there was baby changing . I had to discover for myself there was not, so had to leave to change my son. Also lots of broken glass in the garden that I had to keep picking up as my son was walking around, definitely not a family pub

Travelled for work, stayed for 2 nights, and I loved it here, the bed was very big and comfy and I was given the extra pillows that I asked for. Also, the food was amazing in the pub downstairs, the trout was top class, and the pecan pie was out of this world! And the full Duke's breakfast was spot on the following morning. Also, the staff are really friendly, super super friendly. Really recommended!

I remember using this cafe in the 1990's when i used to work in Sutton...its changed a bit since then, but all for the better...A good choice and at fair prices. What really struck me was how clean the place was, it would appear that many regulars use it as well which is always a good sign.
