The Star Inn in Malvern Hills

I found a stone in my food! An actual small stone. When I called to tell The Star, they weren’t interested, terrible response. Wouldn’t even entertain a refund as they’re too busy!!

Lovely little place! Food was absolutely amazing and service couldn't be more perfect! It's worth a visit

Excellent, as always. The best chinese in Malvern

The food is excellent. I can highly recommend it. Lovely king prawn curry and fried rice.

Best Chinese in Malvern. Order took no time at all and was delicious.

Undoubtedly the best Chinese food in Malvern. I have been eating at The Star for over 15 years and it has always been excellent. Brenda, Ken and James are always so friendly, courteous and attentive. The food is truly superb and the beer is perfect. We will always choose the star!

Lovely experience with freshly cooked food and nice wine and beer selection. Staff was quick and helpful. The two best dishes were crispy beef and the tofu and vegetables. They give you a nice hot plate to keep things warm when you share. Nice meal!

Always had good experiences with ordering from the Star, food is always fresh & tasty so would highly recommend. Just really confusing as they’re currently a 1/5 on the food hygiene rating website

Today was my 2nd takeaway from The Star after reading previous reviews. The warm welcome I receive makes me feel valued as a customer, and the food is very tasty, worth the 8 mile detour on my way home from work. Looking forward to trying different dishes. Lovely food; excellent customer service.

Best chinese in Malvern. Hands down.. It is leaps and bounds above the rest.

Best takeaway in Malvern. Hands down. ❤️

New to Malvern, we were on the hunt for a local Chinese takeaway and so we took some advice from Facebook, deciding on The Star. We arrived and had a little nosey through the menu - loads of loads of options, meat fish and veggie. We ordered with the friendly lady behind the till and waited in the entrance area (nice seats and tables, so we were cosy while we waited!). Food was ready quickly within about 10/15 minutes. We noticed there was also a dining in area that we are tempted to try next time. Food was delicious and plentiful. Price really good for the quantity and quality you're getting too. Our new local Chinese! :)

We had takeaway from here for my birthday. Drove from Ledbury. It was still piping hot when we got back and the food was delicious. Easy ordering system too, very impressed and happy to have a new place for our Chinese food. Will eat in soon ❤️

We've just moved to the area, so we were really happy to find The Star just up the road from us. Ordered a takeaway for collection and it was ready in less than 15 minutes. Everything freshly cooked, brilliant service and the place seemed nice inside, with quite a few people dining in. Will definitely be back.

We haven't been here for some time, and it is still as amazing as what we have had in the past. No other Chinese takeaway compares to the star. Stunning food. Thank you.

Tried The Star for the first time recently and it was definitely worth the travel to get there! We will be back soon, my mouth is watering as I type!

Had a lovely meal here. The food was great. Service was quick and the staff were all very helpful. Not a flashy restaurant by any means, just good quality and sensible prices. Definitely recommended.

Lovely food great company in the pub there Customer service is always the best x welcome our little dog also. Love going to the Star Malvern

Very highly recommended!! Superb food, with a great vegetarian selection. Excellent ales from the bar as well as Chinese beer. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Background music brilliant too! Prices much cheaper than expected, given the excellent quality

Very nice place to eat food was bloody lovely fair play

6 of us called into The Star for a beer after a day's walking. Didn't realise that it served Chinese food, so grabbed a dine in meal too. Good beer, good food with a friendly and prompt service. Good background music as well. Recommended.

We placed quite a large order this evening to takeaway as we had a family get together. The food was amazing, nothing was missing from our order and everyone said how much they enjoyed their food and how fresh it was. We’ve had experiences in the past elsewhere where the food has been very salty and greasy, but our meals this evening were far from this and we will definitely order from here again. The staff were very friendly also. Thank you

Best food I have had. Full of flavour and best value for money for three of us

Great food, by far the best Chinese in Malvern. Regular visitors, always keen to try different things from the menu and always pleased.

Do yourself and your life a favour and do not frequent this restaurant, It was an absolute ripoff tbh, £72 for the worse three mains, bowl of chips, two fried rices and one starter… Just a disappointment 😔😢

The best Chinese in Worcestershire, let alone Malvern. Proper meat, amazing flavours, loads of veggie options, gluten free options and so fresh. If you eat in you have to try the sizzling beef! Good beers, welcoming regulars and very friendly staff. In particular, James, wonderful man! Can’t recommend this place enough. Best HPA in Malvern! You need to try The Star if you haven’t already! AND DOG FRIENDLY!

Good was to fresh and flavoursome. Sizzling platters so good. GF & Vegan choices too Be returning very soon. Fast friendly service and even dog friendly. And all in a Pub !

Great food,I personally love their veggie chicken in black bean source, but my friends are all horrible carnivorous animals and they all raved about their meals, 🤔so I suppose that's good! . Anyway, the beer is wonderful and is clearly looked after by people who know how to serve the best pint for miles by miles 👍. The staff are very friendly to the point of being loveable 🤗, so all in all I'd say it's the best eat out you could possibly have in Malvern or even the whole county. ❤️ 🤗Rick 🥁

Easily the best Chinese in Malvern. The ales are on point every time as well!!

Only discovered this little gem a couple of days ago, , my food was lovely the proprietors so friendly....Great to have a drink while u wait for ur takeout if u dont want to eat in, which was not a long wait and dogs are welcome...doesn't get much better . I hav just found my new fave chinese food place 😋

Chinese was banging! Lovely service also.

Absolutely without doubt the worst meal I have ever been served ordered special fried rice which was a reheated in the microwave oily mush of rice and some sort of dried out meat that resembled dog chews I find it hard to believe that this place can survive serving this sort of food.

Called in for an evening meal with my wife which was a big mistake I ordered a special fried rice which appeared within 5 minutes and had obviously been reheated in a microwave the meat was so dry and tough it was more suitable to be sold as dog chews and the rice was oily and tasteless my wife faired slightly better with the duck curry but even that was a very uninspiring relatively tasteless microwaved bowl of disappointment

Very warm & friendly greeting, first time here as new to area, recommended by our neighbours. Food was excellent and definitely will return again soon!! Pub was relatively quiet hence 4* rating but good selection of draught beers / ales, again, will be back to try more.

Great tasting chineese take out. Very clean pub setting with a nice atmosphere

Thought we would give the star a try as nearby. Noodles very obviously not fresh and heated up ! Just like rubber. Back to work n roll in Barnard's green.

Once again the star delivers top quality food. Not your average Chinese restaurant, the food here is top notch. I recommend the honey cream prawns & Singapore chow mein. These two along with an egg fried rice go down well. The spicy crispy shredded beef is also very good dish to add. Great staff, great food & nice beer.

Probably the worst chinese meal i have ever had & expensive for what we got

Such good food, best Chinese food in Malvern in my opinion! Service was amazing and such a friendly atmosphere, would highly recommend

We have had takeaway food from The Star several times over a number of years and it has always been good. Tonight we had food that was barely edible. Vegatable spring rolls that were undercooked, beef in black bean sauce which neither of us could eat. The sauce was very thick and sticky, the beef was not good quality and everything was over seasoned. We won't be going back.

The outside doesn't do this place justice but once you get inside, it's a quirky mix of pub/chinese with a well stocked bar and extensive menu. Estrella was beautiful. The quality of the food was especially good with plenty of choice for all palates, including vegetarians - a huge menu! I would have like (1) information on Gluten Free meals and (2) Tofu options. The chap serving us was polite enough but not really friendly... 5 STARS based on everyone in our party of 8 being very happy with their meal.

Absolutely fantastic, perfect food, lovely service. 8 of us very very happy!!!!!!!

Loved it food was excellent the staff are nice and pleasant and it's easy to park

Booked a table last week for 10 of us for a friends birthday. Excellent service, super helpful, friendly and speedy. Food was fantastic, everyone enjoyed everything! It was ordered promptly and came out super fast! Everything was correct (which can be a challenge with a table so big without a pre order) we brought a cake with us which they happily brought out at the end of our meal, even played a birthday song in the speaker for us which was a bonus. 10/10 experience. Would100% recommend, great menu and reasonable prices. Thank you guys, we had a brill time!!

Excellent food and service. Really tasty and good portion sizes.

Had takeaway from star very tasty

We were asked to join friends to be treated to a meal out and being polite and grasping we agreed. First thing to note, which is a bit strange, is the Star is a pub and not an asian restaurant per se. We thought this was great to have two separate “atmospheres” going on at the same time. The reason for the average review, the service was pretty dire, perhaps because of serving take away customers before in house diners. When we were finally attended to the service was very friendly and helpful. The food was a different story, I ordered king prawns and scallops at a premium price and feeling guilty as I wasn’t paying. I felt even more guilty when there wasn’t a single scallop in the dish. My wife was very happy with her choices of starters and mains and perhaps I was expecting too much. The others in our party didn’t rave about their meals nor did they complain. Even though we weren’t paying I did notice the pricing of the meals was very reasonable, so as a place to eat a mid week meal we may revisit. As a special occasion definitely not.

Had a meal there yesterday, good food, nice staff, totally enjoyed it.

Really sad as it’s quite far for us to drive to get this so it’s a very rare treat, the spring rolls and chicken balls were missing which they gave me a refund for but then also the prawn crackers were stale and the chips were stale and cold :(. Really sad as had a lovely take away the last time we had one a few months ago

The best Chinese in Malvern by far, friendly staff and lovely ales also contribute to the experience. I've never had a bad meal there and I'm positive I never will.

Why fly to the moon when you can go to The Star? Great Chinese restaurant and a lovely atmosphere. Houston we have lift off.

The fifth or sixth time that I have had a takeaway from here. Staff are great, takes less than 20 minutes after phoning the order through. Prices are pro rata to all the other Chinese take aways in Malvern. Food is always good though Prawns are sometimes better than other times. All in all a good take away.

Excellent food and service and drinks. What is there not to like

We have been searching for over 10 years to find a reasonable Chinese restaurant in the area. Now we have at last found one. The menu is comprehensive, food freshly cooked and flavoursome. Ambience was welcoming and relaxed. Being a pub the choices were extensive. Favourite dish of the party was vegetable sung followed by spicy beef. Highly recommend!

Ordered via the website which was was really straightforward. Booked a time to collect and it was ready when we asked for it (I've been to many takeaways where this isn't the case) the food was really nice and I would definitely recommend the starter platter for 2 🤌🏼

Visiting the area for a few days and after reading good reviews for here decided to have a takeaway. Ordered online and collected within half an hour. Really good tasty food. We had the sharing starter box for two, salt and pepper chicken and chips, chicken with ginger and spring onion and egg fried rice. Would definitely visit again when in the area and recommend for anyone wanting a nice takeaway.

One of the best restaurants in Malvern.

Love the Star - always great food.

Nice service and friendly staff and locals

Excellent old school pub with a twist in that it is also a Chinese takeaway And restaurant. Great selection of good ales lager and cider. Very nice inside and friendly helpful staff.highly recommend a takeaway from here great food. A++++++

We have recently moved to the area and driven along this road but hadn't noticed that it was a pub! We were given a warm welcome by James and enjoyed early evening drinks. We met a couple of locals who were very pleasant and also made us welcome. The Chinese food menu was extensive and varied and seemed to cater for all tastes. The restaurant is clearly popular with locals. Thanks for a pleasant first visit!

Best Chinese meal I've had for a very long time, everything was fresh and well presented. The staff were pleasant and helpful. A must if your spending time in the Malverns

The best there is. The food is just amazing.

Very disappointed. Staff were lovely but obviously overworked. Starters not bad. Duck dry and overcooked. Beef tough, prawns and scallops tasteless. Lot of money wasted. We'll stick with takeaways from Kwai!

Best Chinese I've ever had in Worcestershire.

Brilliant & friendly service, fabulous food , a great atmosphere - a perfect place to meet friends

In my opinion the best Chinese food in the area. Plus the Tel ale is always well kept and poured.

Fantastic food and amazing service. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and we left full and extremely happy. Highly recommended!

Excellent Chinese restaurant as well as traditional old English pub. Very polite, friendly and courteous. They have a very good menu and outside seating is available. Will definitely be going again Well worth a drive out as this place has a character all of its own with a twist! 😊

Great food at Great prices! Not so easy to find unless you know its located in a pub

Lovely Chinese takeaway! We were in the area and they were recommended by the cottage owner were we were. They weren't wrong! It's also really awesome that it's part of a pub, so while we waited we got a pint and chilled. Lovely service too, very polite and welcoming

The Best Chinese In Worcestershire Highly recommended

We dined the star inn on Friday evening after having a few drinks we sat down to our table and ordered some sumptuous food there was some new dishes that they are putting out one being the Kung Po chicken This is a must fantastic sauce so flavoursome lovely soft tender chicken with fresh crisp vegetables truly beautiful fantastic – we also had the sizzling beef Peking sauce this again was out of this world beef so so tender and flavoursome sauce was really flavoursome with some fresh crisp vegetables mixed a very very nice dish we also had the honey King prawnsThis again so good and also we tried the Tom Yum rice which is Thai infused flavours mixed with meats i.e. chicken prawn beef et cetera this again was so so good we also had a portion of barbecue ribs which the meat just fell off the bone truly excellent food . The star in is by far the very very best Chinese around ask about the new dishes they are superb

Welcome back had a lovely few drinks and a take away which was as always lovely we have missed you welcome back james and staff x

Ordered via phone for collection. Time given to collect however on arrival time was incorrect and another 10-15minute wait from what was told. Was fine as was busy on arrival so understand following reopening due to covid. Sadly food was not the same quality as previous visits. Cung po beef just tasted of ketchup and limited flavour or spice, chow mein was cold as if they forgot it and fried last minute, however Chicken balls were tasty and crisp batter and tender chicken inside and fried rice pleasant. Hoping just a current blip due to current circumstances but was sadly this was not worth the money

Well The Star Inn Opens for Beers & T away after what feels like a life time.....Had a couple of beers & then ordered a T Away. Had the SINGAPORE CHOW MIEN SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN FRIED RICE & THE SATAY CHICKEN SKEWERS...So So SO GOOD every dish was perfect the meat tender the spices perfect, the food was amazing so dame good best Chinese for miles so so glad they have opened again & not gone into liquidation. IE Bankrupt. Great Food Great Beers Still top of there game around Malvern Ill be back in a very short time for more ,,Thats for sure.......PERFECTION,,,,,,,,

We ate from this restaurant in December and it really is very good indeed, the food was obviously fresh and prepared to order rather than straight from the freezer. Lovely flavours. Sensible prices and lovely people 👏

Amazing food, friendly owners and staff

Highly recommended to those who want to find Chinese food which is close to Hong Kong's standard.

Food is incredible, service is incredible and the owners and staff are lovely, oh and Estrella is good too 👍

Lovely few at drinks at the end of the week and a take away thankyou to all at the star James and his team.

The owners appear to have worked hard to overcome the difficulties presented by Covid, and I do feel for them.. however..We booked a table for 3 at 7.30, on arrival, on time, we had to wait... because a group of local drinkers were using our table to wait for their takeaway/enjoy a pint, ignoring the Reserved sign and the staff either did not want to ask them to move or felt they couldn't.When we finally got our table 15 minutes later, and ordered our starters we waited another half an hour for a sharing platter to be brought out, and had been there more than an hour before we began to recieve our mains...These arrived slowly, with my fathers main and my rice delivered first, then a 10 minute wait for my main and a further 5 minutes for my sisters.Whilst the service we had, when it happened, was polite, cheerful etc, it was ridiculously slow (but others were managing to receive full takeaway orders all at the same time rather than piece by piece!) - coupled with the draughty environment and horrible echoey acoustics (high ceilings, hard floors, no soft furnishings to soak up sound), this was not a particularly pleasant meal out.The food was, average.. highly priced for the lower end of average chinese takeaway grub. We did ask if they were short staffed or unusually busy but they said no, this was normal for them...We tipped, because we aren't utter gits, but we won't be returning any time soon.

Found this on an internet search as Covid had closed many local eateries. A very down to earth local pub well equipped for Covid processes. staff very helpful friendly and attentive. Some of the best Chinese food we have eaten anywhere

Yes i have reviewed the Star Inn on several occasions. But i have eaten here on quite a few occasions & not bothered to write a review.I have ordered a take away & it was so so good every dish was perfect.. 1. Satay chicken skewers chicken tender individually made & cooked not bought in, made to order the chicken tender the chicken skewers were a different thickness one was approx 5 mm thick the other was thicker but all of them tender fresh & tasted as good as they looked.2. Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls. Again the chicken was grade A quality, not cheap chicken breast pumped with water to bulk it out it was super tender cooked perfectly and fresh white in colour batter was very good. The Boss sauce excellent spicy & sweet perfect accompaniment to the chicken .3. Beef Chow mien again perfection great amounts of tender beef not dry chewy gristle like other restaurants The noodles & spices were perfectly balanced , the taste was perfect.The Star is by far the best Chinese restaurant/TakeAway in & around worcestershire by a long way.The owner will not be drawn into cheap cuts of meat/ seafood etc . And it shows by the taste & quality of the food, which is always cosistantly very good. Yes they are not the cheapest in town.....But they are the best in every way.Great food ......please dont change nothing...

Excellent pub and Chinese restaurant. Good beers on offer and a cheerful and friendly staff. But, best of all is the superb food. There is a wide choice on the menu. It is cooked fresh and served promptly and hot but most of all it is very tasty. Nice atmosphere and always looks busy. Definitely one to recommend.

No corona here only shwepps Seriously food fantastic chicken tender succulent always ten out of ten great food great quality..

Excellent service and delicious food. I would definitely go again

Great decor, blending Chinese restaurant with a local pub, in a fresh way that was enjoyable. Good food and lovely service. Would highly recommend

Had a takeaway for 12 and it couldn't be faulted, everyone very impressed with the food quality. Very helpful staff

Fab place, super staff, dog friendly and great food... Will be back

I called in to the star for a takeaway on Saturday evening I had the honey King prawns which were superb cooked perfectly I had the Singapore chow mein which was absolutely lovely not greasy very tasty I also had sweet-and-sour chicken balls with the boss source this again was lovely the chicken was tender and extremely fresh egg fried rice in all it was a very very good takeaway

As a family of four vegetarians we are always pleased to see bean curd on a Chinese menu. However, we were delighted to see the Star Inn menu included various vegetarian soya alternatives to meat such as chicken and beef in a variety of different Chinese sauces, they even tailored the menu to suit my son’s preference of sweet and sour sauce, which he had with deep fried vegetarian chicken, Cantonese Style. Delicious. Service was great and good value for money. A real find for veggies.

Lovely food, excellent service.

Thankyou to james anxJohnny fomr a lovely few drinks and a takeay simply tbe best thankyou also to kitchen staff always lovely x

Fab food, every dish tasted delicious!!

An english pub with chinese food we have visited this pub/restaurant on several occasions with different friends and on every occasion had a friendly reception, good beer and excellent food .One of the few places I know in worcestershire were you can get St Austells Tribute.Well worth a visit

I have not been to the Star for some time for food . I called in one weekday evening for a pint. I asked if i could just have a bar snack something quick as i was only stopping a short while. The owner Ken said try some Authentic Chinese Ribs (Not the ones that are on the menu) i said yes please why not. When they arrived they looked very appetizing smelt fantastic, & tasted great not like ive had before not in a light batter coating as u would expect but just quickly fried in a superb mix of Chinese spice .The pork was tender if only the star would put it on there menu truly authentic truly lovely.

Yummy food. Try the banana fritters!

The best Chinese, if your eating in or taking away, ever!
