Have had many of great night in this pub in the last two years of having moved into the area. Have grown good friends with the locals and become part of the pool team now. The staff are friendly and accommodating and go above and beyond to make sure we have the sports on the drinks poured and the pool table at the ready. Libby , young tom , Liz , Jason and landlord Tom are exceptional and the way Tom has turned the pub around and pulled in the staff needed who do an amazing job and how he operates as a whole makes the whole pub and clientele feel at ease and make it an enjoyable environment to be around sets it aside from others I’ve attended. It does not do food but to attend for the sports or to play pool and congregate with friends or family with the added bonus of a welcome from Rex the dog is class and my children enjoy seeing the pooch and trying to play pool very much! Well done Tom and staff you should be very proud and I’ll be eager to attend again!!

Just beware if you put back a poster and it falls out you might get barred and pushed out down the stairs. If that the pub you wanna be in go for it but don’t really think landlords should be doing that.

Tom and his team are doing a brilliant job in turning The Star around. Not too long ago I wouldn't even use the pub myself due to how bad it had become, but now I'm happy to take my 75 year old Dad in here for a pint. The pub is friendly, relaxed and clean. Keep up the good work.

The star is a classic local. If you like darts or pool, they have both. The staff are usually friendly and there's a community "everyone knows everyone" feel to the place. Since moving house I don't go here very often anymore but I used to spend quite alot of time hanging out in the beer garden and I've never left not having had a good chat with a stranger.

Went into the pub last night. Sue to staff illness there was only one member of staff working. He was amazing! I think every last glass must have been used as it is always busy on a Friday. However the lone barman kept the glasses cleared ( and washed them all up) no one waited for any length of time for a drink. He was upbeat and friendly even though his head must have been spinning! Pub really has great staff always a pleasure to visit.

Friendly staff and patrons, cosy place yet bright with a great atmosphere as a local though welcoming to a newcomer! Decent prices too with a tempting spirit range (especially gin but that might have been promotional -looked inviting regardless!) Definitely will return soon and probably often, hopefully to beat my pool-shark boyfriend on the table at the back!

Great pub with a good range of drinks, plenty of Tv's about so sport's are played on them. The pub has a Poole table and darts board (We advise you bring your own darts as only a few are available from behind the bar). The staff and landlady are very friendly and chatty to. There is an outside area to which does have overhead heating to. The overall decour and interior are some what a little run down and is in need of a refurbishment, however we have learnt that this may happen soon ie in 2019. This is a pub which is frequented by locals and has a great atmosphere.🍻👍🙂

The Star is arguably the best pub in Kingswood, with only The Essex arms as a challenger. Good prices, decent local atmosphere, only moan is there were no pump ales available, all 3 off. That should't be the case on a Friday night with the weekend to come. Would of been 4 stars, but drops to 3 because of this.

I order a curry from this place and the food that turnt up was wrong. I called the shop and asked them to bring a new one out and he replied ‘yes it’s on its way’. 40 minutes later I called to check up on where the food was and they decided to not send out a new one and not tell me. Terrible customer service. Won’t be ordering from here again.

I use a Powerchair and attended a function upstairs. The first thing I must say is just how lovely all the staff were, friendly, welcoming, extremely helpful and accommodating. There's no lift, but there is a stair lift. Fortunately my Powerchair is light enough and so was carried up the stairs. There's an accessible toilet with a sliding door, tho it's heavy so may need assistance. I'm also vegan, which I mentioned on arrival. The function had a lovely buffet, which everyone enjoyed, but wasn't suitable. However the chef had put together a lovely spread for me, a mix of sandwiches, salad, crisps, and made some delicious non-fish fingers and small potato wedges. Also the most delicious and enormous flapjack. Superb, especially at such short notice, I felt very 'seen'. We all had a lovely time. It was a memorial celebration for a dear friend (husband, father, grandfather) with family and friends, 2-7pm. The room was nicely presented, with round tables, white cloths, and navy blue fabric coverings on the chairs. We were able to bring equipment for a display, but note it must be PAT tested. We all had a great time, a really lovely celebration in a nice setting. Definitely recommend, tho I'm not aware of the pricing.
