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.

Walked in the pub where the owner/landlady was smoking outside. Not a great first impression. Went in to be told they were only doing roasts. At 1.15 they only had 2 chicken left. We ordered and sat out side with our drinks. The waitress called us in to a very empty restaurant area where are meals were on the table. Lots of roast potatoes and some meat. We asked when veg was coming out to be told the had run out of veg the night before!!!!! We couldn’t believe it! We told them we didn’t want it. The landlady/owner did offer us to take meals free of charge but that wasn’t the point. We have been before but the fantastic chef they had has left! We’ll never go back. Needs a complete revamp and new chef!

Can be good and always generous portions, but the problem is, the chips are variable. I've had well cooked, hot crispy chips as good as any chip shop some visits, but other times, including most recent visit, they are anaemic, cooked but only just, and not very warm. Updated.. family wanted chips so doubts aside I ordered online and collected, they had cold hard raw centres. I feel like I want to ask to see them before ordering!

Had our golf society Christmas event here , breakfast was good, lack of seating was an issue as we were quite a big group. With the weather we had experienced recently course was very wet as to be expected, greens were good though. However a couple of poor points about the day, only 2 showers available in changing room, we expected as there were 25 of us to have a separate eating area as we have had previously, we were spread out in the general bar area and due to a wedding taking place upstairs, just as our desserts came out the wedding party descended back in bar area. We were then asked to go over to the games room ( which we had enquired about ) but really this was to get us out of the way of wedding party. This meant when we wanted drinks we had to brave the wind and rain back to main clubhouse . Games room was really good though and we held our end of year presentation in this room too. The quality of the Christmas lunch was very good and overall staff were great.

An authentic, un-reconstructed village local. Much the same as it must have been in your grandads time. Small, intimate bar area with nice roaring fire when I was there. So very welcoming. Didn't look at the menu, but reasonable range of toppled. Butcombe only ale on tap, but in good condition. Need to drop in if your passing and get a flavour of old Olveston and residents.
