The Star Inn in New Forest

England is dead, because of people like this. So rude, so laced with persecution and inhospitality by pseudo-elites. They want war at this place.

Often meet friends here, the good and staff are first class. Tough to say what is best to eat as all good!! Already booked to meet friends there for next week!!

This is an old pub serving Thai / Asian food. The bar rooms are a bit dingy and need brightening up. The food is very good.

The food was ok but the pub bar where we were sitting was a bit dark and could Do with a bit of a clean up. Otherwise it was ok for a lunch.

No había estado allí por algún tiempo. Sorprendido de ver que estaba muy tranquilo en el sábado de un fin de semana festivo. Menú había cambiado un poco desde nuestra última visita. La comida era estupenda, como de costumbre. Tuve fideos picantes de Malasia/crujiente nos hemos sumergido. Mi esposa tenía el compartir; s aperitivos fuente hor para dos. Me sentí un poco estafado cuando se paga como el menú era engañosa. Sentí que debería haber dicho por persona al lado el precio. (ver foto) así que pasamos 7 libras. 50 Más de lo que esperaba. Es una pena, ya que siempre hemos disfrutado de este lugar.

There is a good atmosphere.An excellent range of beers and wines. The food is good and the service obliging and cheerful. Well worth calling in.

tan prometedor como habíamos visitado aquí 2 días antes para bebidas y estaba ocupado y tienen un ambiente Parecía los especiales junta parecía bueno, platos inspirados tailandeses. Así que volvimos para el almuerzo, ¡Menuda decepción! Las ofertas no tan interesante, elegí el surf y plato de Turf desde el menú del almuerzo. Por desgracia una de las comidas más pobres que he comido, incapaz de distinguir entre la carne y carne de cerdo como era difícil y comestible, los langostinos estaban muy bien! Nos dieron un reembolso por una comida pero habría preferido mucho más tener un sabroso almuerzo tailandés.

Hicimos un paseo con amigos y fuimos aquí para el almuerzo. Había tradicionales pub grub (comida disponible, pero me sorprendió encontrar comida china. porciones generosas y sin duda las estrellas particulares eran el pato Pekín y el Penang curry.Esto era regados con Ringwood mejores para la sidra de hombres y Aspall para las mujeres.Lo que una excelente manera de terminar el paseo.

Lovely old pub, let down by the rude male bar staff and disgusting state of cleanliness. Such a shame. avoid.

Visité este pub con un grupo de amigos (éramos 6 total). Había estado allí antes, con otro amigo, pero que tenía bebidas ese día. Sin embargo, había estado muy impresionados y había sugerido la estrella a mis amigos para nuestro viaje. Esta vez tuve algo de comer y la comida era excelente. Los se especializa en comida asiática de estrellas - tailandés, Malasia, Singapur y zonas comunes - y es magnífico. Tuve fideos condimentados malasios, que tenía una buena patada a ellos, y con una buena variedad de cuchillo y tenedor y palillos para comer con ellos (he usado los palillos y acabó con el cuchillo y tenedor cuando los fideos dieron demasiado pequeña para recoger más). El servicio es excelente, el personal es amable y los precios son muy razonables. Para los 6 de nosotros cuesta £66 - que nos divide equitativamente entre nosotros. Sin duda lo recomendaría a mis amigos.

Fuimos para un almuerzo rápido con la familia. El ambiente cálido y acogedor y nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. Buena variedad y la calidad de los registros de la cerveza y bien cuidado.La comida fue una excelente relación calidad-precio y recién cocinado. Excelente comida tailandesa con un toque tailandés auténtico en vez de cualquier interpretación semi-inglés. ten cuidado ya que cuando dice que el menú la comida es picante, entonces es!

Friendly staff and excellent food! Nikki and Ian are excellent landlords making everyone (and their dogs) very welcome. The choice and quality of the wines are amazing and the food a delight. We will be back... Probably next weekend!

Tuvimos una comida tailandesa en el pequeño pub el viernes pasado

Had a break in the south of England, left late, due to car not starting. Phoned in advance before the kitchen closed and on arrival two oriental noodle dishes were presented to us freshly cooked. Both dishes were authentic and the ambience is convennial. For those who like real ale, there is always a choice to be had. Well worth the visit for those in the New Forrest or fro those travlling to Bournemouth or the South Coast. Very friendly staff

3 visits in the last 3 months to this warming, congenial and atmospheric pub says it all! Landlord Ian and wife Nikki run an excellent establishment with smiling staff. The menu has an oriental flavour - and no wonder with 2 Thai chefs that have been there some years. Last week I met 2 friends who hadn't eaten there before and they were favourably impressed. I can never get past the Singapore Noodles which are simply delicious. An excellent portion and beautifully spiced with all the proper ingredients. My colleague had the dish of the day - sweet and sour pork (how ordinary and boring) BUT he rated it as one of the best - tender pork pieces and a sauce (according to him) made really properly and not just a sticky mess! The sandwiches on the table next to us looked really appetizing and I will have to go back soon (before I go back to Cape Town) and try oneThe menu is a very good selection and pub food at it's best with different specials daily.

Oriental based menu. Speedy service and tasty food. Mixed Hors D'oeuvres to share and the stir fried beef were excellent. Busy though so need to book.

Stopped in Ringwood on a wet lunchtime and asked a local. Immediately welcomed and barman brought over a Timothy Taylor. They also had Summer Lightning and good wines. Enthusiastic and pleasing staff, good, clean and tasteful interior and very good Asian food. The aromas call you from a distance. They have 8 good rooms. This team is most competent and offered exactly what was needed on a miserable day.

Had a fantastic meal with my friend, great pan Asian food. Nice refurbishment comfortable sofas and good atmosphere.

Went for their wed buffet night and yet again top trumps, can't beat it beat in town , would and do recommend to any one Staff always cheery and chatty, beer and selection of wines good.

Found this place by chance. It's a small town centre pub. On the door is a polite notice asking guests to be in smart casual dress or better. It's cosy and if it was full could feel cramped. The bar lady was polite and efficient. The lunchtime menu is limited in number of dishes but has snacks, English meals and a range of oriental. I had a Malaysian beef noodle dish which was delicious. That, scampi and chips, a fruit juice and a pot of tea was £19.05.

Great chinese style pub grub served in this pub. Tasty and fresh. Go at lunchtimes it's half the price roughly. Ok at lunch time the menu is not as extensive ad the evening but great value. Enjoy with a pint

This is unusual by consisting of two rooms with a connecting corridor. Originally there was a coal fire, but recent conversions have turned this into an empty fireplace. The old bar has been removed and replaced with a more practical design. Having said that it still has atmosphere and a good pint. Unfortunately on our visit the place was full of customers with dogs who seemed to think they had the right of way. Spoiled our visit and it will probably be some time before I return

From appearances it's a typical English pub. The menu however is home cooked Asian food that really impressed me. I had the Kung-Po Chicken and my wife had Thai green curry. Both hearty sized portions, good value and tasty.Staff were efficient and the pub had a friendly local atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

We visit this pub usually once a week for lunch so I feel that we can provide a review based on the many number of times we have visited. We love this place to eat Asian food, it is excellent value for lunch and they also do buffet evenings. The food is cooked freshly and tastes very authentic. There is always a warm atmosphere and a great welcome. As well as Asian they do traditional pub fayre however the main attraction is the Asian Food and on occasion I have asked them to cook for me a particular dish and they have always accommodated me.I am an extremely fussy eater and have been known to send food back on more than one occasion but I can safely say I have always had a great meal here.

Visited here with some friends. The food looked nice but was disappointing. Definite lack of taste. Staff were friendly enough.

Was looking forward to eating here after booking in, overnight, for a one night stop. It is not often you get an Asian menu in a British pub (in my experience). The dish I had was plentiful and with nice flavour. Remember that this is a pub environment not a restaurant though, and you wont be disappointed. I'll visit again, next time I'm in Ringwood

really nice food, small but nice atmosphere, staff are friendly rooms are top notch - full english breakfast is really good.

Just returned from a dreadful meal with my partner at this pub.Tasteless mush in a tepid sauce"Its Thai Jim but not as you know it"The staff in the kitchen seem to be thai but its the worst i've ever had ,i would have paid money to give it a miss!

I enjoyed a lovely meal at the Star Inn, it was a nice change to go to a English pub and enjoy tasty Asian food. you can't beat a good pint of Ringwood Best Bitter to go with a Red Thai curry!!

We like to call in for the good mainly asian based food, but also for the good range of beer this well run friendly inn has to offer

Wonderful food in here, lunch is a bargain at £6 for a full meal, then the seafood specials in teh evening are amazing.Good real ales, nice selection of wines and perfect olde worldy pub atmosphere.

This a great friendly cosy pub. Service is good, landlord friendly & chatty. The food may not be traditional Thai, but I've never had a bad meal there. No long waits for food & it always seems to be fresh, which makes a pleasent change. The no kids thing is clearly on the door as you walk in & to be honest it's a relief to go somewhere where there are none. Not anti kids, but sometimes it's nice to be in an adults only setting.I've stayed in the rooms as well & these are pleasent & clean. Breakfast is good too!

Lunch times offers excellent value and the chinese food is as good as any restaurant

just a shame it is very clique and not overly friendly.

Maybe the last reviewer should take note and think that a pub is an adult environent and that adults don't want kids in pubs why not take them to mcdonalds or somewhere? The star is a great pub that does great food and is soo as it's not ruind by kids, it's a proper pub!

We were tempted to this pub by the reviews of the oriental food and the tantalising menu - however once at the bar with our 7 year old, a barmaid prompted told us that children are not allowed behind the bar, but could go in the garden. We were fine with this.We asked about food and were told that was okay, but they don't serve children. The barmaid swiftly left to get the bookings list and continued to take our reservation - whilst we stood there flabberghasted, she continued saying so this is a booking for two - er, no, quite clearly our child needed to eat too. Again we were told that they will not serve food to children, not even in the garden either.I've never had this kind of reception from a pub when we have attended with a child, and I would not be tempted to either visit this establishment again or recommend it to friends.:(

We found this Pub the best in Ringwood, we only stayed a week but visited on many occasions and consistently received a very friendly welcome. We sampled the Thai menu and found the food excellent, authentic and very good value for money.

the food isnt thai!!! had red curry with frozen sweetcorn, frozen peas and sliced carrots!!!! need i say more. will stick to drinks at the bar. as yet to sample english menu as never on.
