The Star Hotel - Ember Inns in Lichfield

The pub inside the Star Hotel in Burntwood is a delightful spot for a meal or a drink. The staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. With a large selection on the menu, there's something for everyone, and the service is impressively efficient. Most importantly, the food is absolutely delicious, ensuring a satisfying dining experience. Whether you're stopping by for a casual bite or a special occasion, this pub is definitely worth a visit!

I cannot thank the Star team enough. They put their Christmas Day on hold to make ours fantastic. We had a slight technical issue with booking and it had seemed the booking had not gone through properly.. However when I showed the booking reference a week before this was not a problem and Rachel was very accomadating and apologetic. The food and service were top class including a great pint of Timmothy Taylor. The pub had been festively decorated and a personalised Xmas card on the table which made the family experience one to cherish and remember. BIG THANK YOU , It was amazing.. The Wright Family

Andy and the other staff were amazing today, very well organised. We were a group of 15 and pre-ordered our meals last week . The food was good, all our needs were catered for, everyone enjoyed the party . Thanks very much. Happy Christmas everyone

Visited today with a friend and we had booked which was good as it was very busy. Initially our table was near the entrance which was cold with people going in and out. We asked to move which was no problem and moved further inside. We expected to be able to choose from the usual menu only, but there was a Christmas meal available, so a bonus. We all had this and thoroughly enjoyed it, well presented and cooked,no processed turkey! Very tender with all the trimmings etc. staff were friendly and efficient considering how busy, nothing was too much trouble. There is always a warm and comfy atmosphere here.

Fantastic christmas dinner. Fab atmosphere and the staff were amazing. Will be visiting again.

Enjoyed the festive menu as part of a group outing. We were made really welcome and the food and service were excellent.

Looking very tired.. wallpaper coming off where table rubbed against wall. Picture been down at least a year ago, still showing as filler around it. Always cold. Staff pleasant enough.

Visited on Saturday for the breakfast with Santa event. All the family had a wonderful time. The food was lovely. A big thanks to all the staff who were great with the kids and so friendly/ helpful. The atmosphere got us in the Christmas mood. Thanks very much :)

Freezing cold in there. The wind was gusting through the windows!! Food was not worth money at all !!!! Liquor coffees were served without liquor when they eventually got to us !!!!! Absolutely awful

Lovely place so warm and welcoming, no faults with this pub

Excellent service from NICO and BARRY. Thankyou. Had wonderful evening with the girls who worked together for 30 years

Another lovely meal with friends. New menu and festive options on menu available.

Beautiful meal today,great service.

This is the second time I've visited for a sunday lunch the first time food was cold .so coming again to give benefit of doubt when ordering we told the staff about our last visit and he apologised the manager i think and said he would make a note our meals came out waitress was using her long sleeved top to hold the plate witch were hot very unprofessional and tea towel would have looked better when had the meals food was Luke warm gravy was cold the waitress tuck it away came back no warmer but didn't won't to say again she was the only 1 working on the floor two other staff one that looked like a manager didn't leave the bar there were dirty plate and glasses on a number of tables .no one seen to be making sure the pub was looked after I'm not one to write a review as I work in hospitality but I feel that I had to make people aware of no customer service at all

Always amazing - my children love the food and we are always made to feel very welcome. Lovely staff

Great food, great atmosphere. Had a lovely night 😊

Great food and customer service. We will definitely be back soon!

Excellent customer service throughout

Great party. Fantastic helpful staff. And great food selection.

Everything was very good, when in Burntwood and you are hungry this place is a must

Staff are very friendly and the pub has a great atmosphere. The beer is great and the food is good value for money.

First time here and even though it was fireworks night and the place was very busy, we didn't wait long for our food, which was very nice and good value for money, we were served quickly at the bar and the staff were very attentive. Highly recommended.

Meal was not appealing at all ordered a surf and turf however when I got it the tomato had seen better days the onion ring was a piece of onion no resemblance at all, then to top it all there was no prawns, after asking the staff were very dismissive wouldn't go again

What a find! Was passing by and noticed this charming little pub on the way back from a meeting in Lichfield- great food and amazing service, will definitely make an effort to return

Just moved into the area, this is a gem good food, beer and service is amazing. And a Camra pub more of these please. Something on the menu for everyone.

Loved the star hotel and enjoyed a lovely meal . Only thing I will say about it is it needs a bit of TLC as needs decorating , and the toilets need looking at and cleaning up . All the same I enjoyed our time in there .

Set menu sunday lunch good variety for price good range of drinks to will go back 100%

The regular pub I frequent. Great staff (Luke and the whole team do a great job) welcoming atmosphere, many great memories in this place! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly, high quality pub.

Very friendly staff, Dog Friendly, treats and water provided. Meals served hot and nicely presented. Great Atmosphere, good location with outdoor areas.

No issues, All staff were polite friendly and helpful will visit again

Great pub, been our local for a while, all the staff are great! Thanks to Luke and all the team! Fabulous atmosphere!

Amazing pub, neen our local for a while now. Great atmosphere and the staff are brilliant! Always up for a chat, and very welcoming! Huge thanks to Luke & the team.

Incredible atmosphere with an open mic night full of variety. Friendly bar staff, Nico and Baz always make an effort to greet us. Food is delicious with prompt service. Thoroughly recommended

Nico & Baz are the tits! Fantastic atmosphere, service is 5* and food is top notch!! I don't often give a 5* review, but when I do, it's always true!

We had a lovely meal and the service was excellent

I visit The Star Hotel each week to perform at its very enjoyable Open-Mic Night. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The service is always great, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Staff are lovely and the food is delicious. One of our favourite local places to go to celebrate family events.

Same old same old weak gold beers

Lovely Food, Friendly staff ,lovely atmosphere

No steak or pies available, which didn't affect my party but still not great on a Monday night. Food we had was tasty and the staff attentive and friendly. Bit quiet but think that was the day of the week.

Tasty food, friendly welcoming staff.

Great evening out with friends ,very good quality food,very reasonably priced. We normally go into Lichfield to met our friends, but last twice,felt very much rushing you to finish and go as they want the table. It was such a pleasure to sit in nice surroundings and friendly staff and just enjoy the food. Thanks to all the staff

Massive thanks to Nico, Baz and Jasmine for making our table of 8 feel so stand out. A birthday celebration for a friend with food, drinks and service all aligning to create the 'event' we wanted. The Sea Bass was stunning and nothing but empty plates all round. The team effort in such a busy environment ensured we didn't feel remotely rushed or left wanting. Try the HPA by the pint and the Merlot by the bottle! Well worth the visit...thanks for a lovely evening!

Lovely meal with friends and the staff are lovely

Service from Colin was excellent. Love a Madri.

Had a great time at the Star tonight. The staff are so welcoming and friendly, the food is tasty and nicely cooked and the atmosphere was chilled. We’ll be back soon

Great food & service tonight thanks. Lovely staff. We always look forward to a chilled out Friday night at The Star

Open mic nights on Tuesdays are great. Lovely atmosphere, fab service and food always good!

Great open mic and great drinks and great service!

Best open mike in Staffordshire, fantastic music, lovely warm atmosphere

Always a friendly atmosphere, lovely staff, great service

family lunch for 4 good quality food at a decent price Veges werenty particularly good but there waere decent vegetaian choices

Nice friendly atmosphere n staff. Nice food n service.

The Star Hotel impresses with its superb food and outstanding staff. Enjoy delicious dishes and attentive service in a welcoming atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot for a memorable pub experience!

The Star could be a lovely pub. Its staff are wonderful, the locals are nice, the drinks are good. But the interior is absolutely awful, torn seats, horrid carpets, leaking ceilings, and toilets. Ember Inns should be ashamed, letting a pub get in this state. It's not fit for purpose. Yet, with some support, it could be brilliant. The staff aren't to blame. They do the best with what they have. Investment is desperately needed...are board members listening?

lovely good quality well cooked food

Beautiful home cooked food! 10/10 Lovely staff & efficient service Everything faultless Clean premises & clean toilets Makes a nice change to go somewhere that still takes pride in all areas Thank you 👍👍👍

The menu has thankfully improved from the terrible spring menu. Everyone found something the liked and the food was delicious. Most certainly recommend.

Came for dinner tonight and everything was delicious! Especially the tandoori skewer! Barry was great, so attentive and friendly. We will be returning!

Great food and even better beer! The selection of ales on offer is brilliant. Barry was brilliant and made our visit - what an asset to the team!

!st time visiting for food here. Good atmosphere friendly staff and wonderful tasty food. Thanks to Molly who was a great help ! Will definitely be back!

Good open mic every Tuesday evening

We didn't eat this time but we had a friendly welcome and a very layed back atmoshere, a nice couple of pints hassle free in the beer garden. I ate here a while back and the food was great.

I went for Sunday lunch with my distinguished gentlemen (the mandem). The food was simply wonderful. The gammon had a delightfully salty note that lingered on the tongue, which left me reeling for more. The stuffing wrapped in bacon was a novel ideal which I very much enjoyed. Abi and Luke were very hospitable, and had top banter. 10/10 would go back.

Popped in today for a lunchtime drink after a couple of days away. The welcome from Luke and Rachael was professional, warm and genuine. All the team at the Star are welcoming and go above and beyond other pubs in the group. The Sunday dinners look good too😋

Good food and drink ,excellent and efficient Staff service,nice relaxed atmosphere. Would highly recommended this Inn

After my last experience I was a little reluctant to dine there again but we decided to give it another try and I am happy to say we all absolutely loved the meal and the atmosphere, the staff are really nice and welcoming I would definitely recommend the star and will go again very soon

Wonderful country pub, friendly staff, amazing food and a great place to visit, definitely visiting again, had 3 really nice courses and each was perfect

Couldn't say anything about the food or service as we only went in for a drink pleasant

Great food and service, clean and pleasant environment. Not a lot wrong at all. Will definatly come back again.

We like the new menu and the food we had was great, staff always very friendly. It would be nice to see the interior redecorated. Go on and invest it will pay off .

The star is a great pub. Warm and friendly. Great food for a M&B pub. New staff means better service. A lot more professional. Took my family for Sunday lunch and was not disappointed. Will definitely be back. Plus dogs are welcome in the bar.

Not very many in Camera discount available

We visited The Star last night for a nice drink in the beer garden whilst the sun was still shining. After having a few beers and seeing other people ordering food which looked pretty good we decided to have a meal . Me and my partner both decided on a mixed grill and we were not disappointed. The food arrived quickly and everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be going back for more.The service was brilliant and can't be faulted. Well done guys 👍🏻

I went here for my step dad's birthday the staff are very kind and polite the food is very good for the price nice size portions and great service. I have no complaints about the star its worth a visit qnd then your hooked.

Very nice meal, in pleasant surrounding.

Lovely food and lovely staff xx always enjoy my night out xx

Popped in for lunch today and it was a new menu since my last visit. There was lots of variety and it was hard to choose. I went for the open steak sandwich and Cajun fries and it was absolutely delicious.

Just had a meal off the new menue it was lovely, would highly recommend, staff where excellent ,especially Molly and Colin

Fantastic new menu, service from Mollly & Colin second to none, nothing was too much trouble

The new menu is amazing! I will be back to try other things! Recommend the tandoori skewer! Great service from Mollie and Colin as always!

Waited 45 mins and complained before food arrived. It was lukewarm. Drinks order was wrong came with ice in spite of twice being told we did not want.

The place needs painting, cleaning and repairing. Walls are scratched, in one place the ceiling is dirty, one of the bench seats has the leather cover torn apart, radiators are dirty. It was lovely when they had the renovation years back, but they need to take care of a lot of things now. Food is ok. Lovely staff though.

Had an amazing service from baz, livvy and wotto. We have had amazing food, so compliments to the chef, great atmosphere and great vibes in the bar! A massive Big up to the star staff!!!

so good love it here sm will be going again soon!!

Visited the Star hotel today and the food and service was excellent. Colin was welcoming and friendly n will visit again soon.

Lovely Beer, excellent food, Team and regular clientele all welcoming and friendly. Big outside area for drinks in the sun.

Place is really nice, enjoyed my time here. Liv was also amazing imo

Come here often and everytime is better than the last. Staff are great and drink too. Fair prices too with the rise of cost of living. Helps my friends with allergens. Before i came here, I read the reviews and seen some poor ones, but all I can say is don't knock it til you try it. 10/10 will go again!

Came in Friday afternoon for a meal served by Colin who was excellent polite and remembered to ask about allergies which many forget to do. Food was very nice service was top notch.

Great service . Great choice of Ales what more could you want. Foods Great too. I will certainly be visiting again.

Top service by Colin very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely visit again

Nice atmosphere, quick service and lovely hot food. Colin was fantastic serving us, ensuring we had everything we needed and nothing was too much trouble for him.

Well cooked steak, cooked to perfection. My friend really enjoyed the curry and sides too. As it was Curry night it was a really good deal too.

Although though pub was quite busy service was fast molly and jazz in particular were working hard but didn’t let them stop how welcoming they were and how polite they were.

Staff are spot on, especially jazz. The whole team are polite and welcoming and the service here is pretty quick. Overall lovely place to come have some food and drink !

Ordered a BLT Ciabatta and got sent a baguette. Raised and questioned the waitress about this as it wasn't what I had ordered and all I got back was that's what you get. Really disappointed with the answer and the way the staff member dealt with this. I'm guessing the staff member just thought I was being difficult but there's a big difference between these 2 types as I wouldn't have ordered this dish. Will not be going back

Was busy when we arrived , but still managed to find a table for four adults..food really nice and very polite service..added bonus of having Stowford Press cider on draught..😎

Brilliant as always! The food is always spot on and the team are so attentive and nothing is too much trouble!!!!!!!!!!!
