The Star Inn in South Northamptonshire

We stayed overnight. Dinner was excellent, actually it was way too much. Service was excellent & very friendly. Breakfast was a little disappointing but it was off season so we can let that go. Still very happy to return

A very dull place. Unwelcoming atmosphere. Very poorly managed pub. Will never go there again. Food was also uncooked, avoid it

Our stay was really disappointing. Although the Landlord was very friendly and the evening meal was okay, the room was really tatty and in dire need of some attention. The lighting in the en suite was poor, there is no mirror in the bedroom so impossible to dry your hair and see what you're actually doing. There was only one chair in the 'double' room and I put double in inverted commas because the bed was up again the wall so if you were sleeping next to the wall you had to climb over the other person to get into bed (and I don't mean in a fun way!) The only hanging space for clothes was 4 hooks on the back of the door, everything else had to be left in the suitcase and there wasn't much floor space. Breakfast was only continental and was clearly set out the night before, so croissants and pain au chocolate in plastic wrappers, the coffee was awful and the hot water not particularly hot. Not a teapot in sight and no where to leave teabags except in your saucer. But the curtains summed up everything; tired and well past their best - see photo

Bit disappointing. Room was very cold, especially the bathroom. Plug didn't fit sink allowing water to drain. Bedding felt cold and unaired. Friendly hosts, clean everywhere, just not warm. Needed coat on to eat evening meal. With these issues attended to, could be nice but currently wouldn't recommend. Food was good. Not so much the breakfast.

Very old and traditional Inn. Very welcoming with generous portions. I would just say it was quite chilly in the room and especially the bathroom. But will definitely visit in summer. Thanks to the Hosts

An attractive pub in an attractive village that reinforces the golden rule that Sunday roast lunches should be restricted to home cooking. A huge quantity of overcooked bland vegetables accompanied topside of beef that was also lacking seasoning and was not even close to being rare - as reported it would be.

Ideal spot for quiet bed and breakfast, good very clean room. Good continental style breakfast with plenty of choices. Charming and helpful host.

Bed and breakfast after a local wedding. Warm welcome, even though we were late. Very comfortable room. Good continental breakfast, helpful host.

They happily served us when we arrived at just before 2 for lunch. When asked about gluten free, dairy free they quickly offered to make me fish and chips. These were the best I have eaten since becoming gf 15 years ago. Thank you

The wife and I (and our dog) briefly stopped at this beautiful place on Sunday to get a coffee and a HUGE plate of cheesy chips. For our first visit, I cannot be more complimentary about the welcome we received ....... good coffee and food ..... and great reception. Smiling, friendly, welcoming customer service is not very often encountered nowadays. Definitely will return. Well done and Thank you!

Booked for a family christening and the landlords Steve, Nicky and the team couldn’t be more accommodating and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The food was lovely and the service was fantastic. Thorough and personal service. We will most certainly be returning. Thank you very much for making our day extra special. Leann and Family X

A lovely village pub, With good food, a nice atmosphere, friendly, chatty staff and dog friendly! A great lunch out!

Food was okay, chips are always tasty! Although the burger looked good it wasn’t the nicest. Staff were great but the landlord hasn’t got very good customer skills and comes off as unfriendly unless he likes/knows you. Have been on a couple of separate occasions to just have a drink and when it gets to 9:30pm he makes you feel as though you’re not wanted, huffing and puffing around the place. Also makes you feel rushed and as though he’s got better things to be doing. Seen both the landlord and landlady hanging out the back door vaping which to me is very unprofessional!

The only pub in the village and unfortunately it fell short of our expectations. Friendly staff, but I think the menu choices need more variation. A few finishing touches too, like lemon served with whitebait etc would be good, a choice of skinny or chunky chips and the condiments served in small dishes not sachets would be so much nicer. I appreciate this may be down to the current pandemic so am hoping should we return it may have improved. Sometimes the little things make a difference.

Well, disappointed. Looked on the website to see if open and it said OPEN, so we travelled to have a drink and meal .. BUT GOT THETE and they were closed, Please update your website so others are not disappointed!!! Won’t be going again after reading reviews.

Went with a friend for a retirement meal the food was swimming in grease and my friend sent hers back as it was noodles which were full of grease and looked like they had been microwaved they bought out a fresh dish which was any better I had fish & chips the fish was so greasy the fish was yellow not white the peas were watery and the chips like bullets. The room was cold and the overall bill was expensive

We are just back home from a wonderful delicious Christmas lunch. The meals here will take some beating with quality fresh food and price, I am yet to experience any better.The welcome, service and food are way better than I have encountered at any other establishment. Well done to all the staff. Thank you Nikki and Steve. We will support you in every way to keep The Star Inn open in these depressing times. To everyone out there read my reviews....come and support your local village inn.Use it or lose it.

The Star has everything to recommend it:, welcoming and friendly staff, cosy bar and seating area, small dining space, larger dining room. My group of thirty was booked for lunch after a very wet walk. The tables in the larger dining room were laid out very attractively and joy, beautiful, white cloth napkins. It is no mean feat to serve a large party, so well done Star Inn team. The food was good quality, good portions, very well presented and served on hot plates. Super attention to detail. Many thanks.

Lovely pub. Open fire. Food was fantastic. Cant wait to go back.my kids loved it. There are swings in the garden that my boys enjoyed for hours

Heard there was a new chef so was excited to try out. Was welcomed by a very friendly lady, offered drinks and was shown to our table in a very nice area of the pub. Had been to the pub before under the old landlords so it was a nice surprise to see all of the changes! Was well looked after by a lovely young lady. Was made awear when order was taken that there would be a wait due to a large party that was about to served, but didn’t realise this would be 40 minutes for starters. When the pate arrived it was runny and more of a cream consistency, was very disappointed. Apologies were made and was told the chef was awear, confused as to why it was served? Mains were the same waiting time, if not longer. Mains were okay but could’ve done better myself. Was offered desserts but after looking at the menu didn’t think the price was justified for the waiting time. In my opinion, the size of them compared to the price was very unreasonable - we happened to see a few that came out and weren’t impressed. It was highly advertised about the new chef, but it was obvious that he couldn’t cope with the amount of people and the standard of food. It was quite clear to see that the three members of staff were under a lot of stress but they still remained professional and we’re all very attentive to everyone. May return in a couple of months when the chef is in the swing of things.

Amazing food great atmosphere and fantastic staff couldn’t do enough for us the menu was out of this world highly recommend it

Went for lunch. nice setting, lovely staff and on a cold wintery day LOVED the warmth from an open fire. very family friendly. cheers chef great food. Will visit again and Highly recommend

Nice food, nice staff and great atmosphere. The garden area is cool as well and good for a little walk about to settle the stomach!

Could not recommend more! The food was out of this world and the service was outstanding. The landlord was welcoming and greedted us warmly as we arrived. Will definitely be visiting again and bringing everyone I know!

Had an amazing meal with my family. Sat in the main bar area food was lovely service was attentive. Looking to return for a family christmas party.

Great pug building wise - used to live in the Village - now go with Friends fo a weekly pint .Landlord has a lack of charisma , failing to do basic ‘Landlord Etiquette’ - greeting people who are spending money in his business.I know the pub business is hard but some landlords really need to be customer friendly.This Landlord is not.

New chef Karl t starting at "Star inn sulgrave" with an exciting new menu, with a focus on socially sustainable and locally sourced products. Starting on 7th November 2019. This will be one to watch. I got amazing feedback while covering the current chef's holiday. Im very excited to except this amazing opportunity. The current owners nikki and Steve have been keen to get me on board and are behind my vision for fresh locally and sustainability. It is an amazing country location and Im very excited to take this restaurant to the next level.

We visited for lunch today and were quickly seated and served drinks.

We live in Northants so regularly eat in pubs all over the county (its one of the joys of living here!). We have been to the Star under previous landlords, but not the current ones. Based on recent TA reviews we thought it was worth giving it another go.

Had heard good things about this pub so thought we’d try it, welcome was friendly, service was good however the food was only average, would have expected a better standard for the price, desert of apple & rhubarb crumble was nice, however couldn’t taste any rhubarb plus it came with the smallest pot of custard I’ve ever seen, at over £6 I expected more.

Wonderful welcome. The food was amazing. Well cooked and presented. Definitely going back. We never have a three course meal but you just had too. Lots of variety to suit every pallet.

Set in a delightful village,close to Sulgrave Manor, this small, quaint inn is worth a visit. Service was efficient and friendly and t he menu had a good choice , with some items using the local ale - Hooky ( Hook Norton) There were 4 empty plates at the end of lunch, as we all enjoyed our freshly cooked meals. There was a good atmosphere as it was popular , even on a Thursday lunchtime.

Just popped in for a pint and light lunch last Tuesday. Very busy with private function and menu was restricted. Nonetheless food was good and enjoyed the pint. Attentive service.

Really great find. Lovely traditional pub. Casual, comfy and very welcoming. Scampi and chips was generous in size and excellent quality. My partner’s sausage and mustard mash was equally as good. Lovely staff too. Thank you. 👍🏼

Took a couple of friends for lunch as a treat, food was lovely. One downside it was a bit chilly inside, my friend left his coat on for the duration we were there

We were staying at a B&B; just down the road so we could walk here. And we did, both evenings for dinner! Would have walked twice as far for their food!!!!!! It's one of the places I miss now that we are home. The staff (family and friends) go above and beyond to serve you and their chef is 5 star! Carry on!!!!

Enjoyed a fabulous lunch today. Fantastic menu from sandwich to steak. Service outstanding. Car park at the back of the pub. Sit in the bar area or in the restaurant areas. Excellent choice of drinks. Food excellent quality. So pleased we saw the sign & shopped.

Went for a second trip on Saturday 3rd November. Party of 6 adults. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was great. Prices very reasonable. What else can I say?

We have just come back from having a lovely meal. We all had Whitebait to start and it was lovely and plenty of it. The mains all looked beautiful when they came out and all tasted beautiful as well, again the portion size was just right. The staff member was very polite and very helpful.

Wife and I visited Sulgrave Manor so decided to have lunch at The Star Inn. It's in the centre of the village and we suspect plays a major part in village life. I wish my local was like this!

I enjoyed a freshly prepared lunch which was very tasty when visiting the pub with a friend today. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. We were asked if we needed anything and if everything was okay. I will definitely be returning.

We went to this pub as it has changed hands and we wanted to try it out. There was a temporary chef with a temporary menu as they are new. It was an interesting menu, with a couple of pub classics, although these were a bit "cheffy". For example sausage and mash with mustard mash and Cumberland sausage, and ham egg and chips with poached not fried eggs. This would be fine, but the eggs had set by the time the meal came out. It was the first I had heard of flat iron chicken (I know about flat iron steak though?)

It was a blazing hot day in the seventh month of the year of 2018. The sun beat down upon my brow, a terrible, persistent and rising thirst was beset upon me. My gaze fell upon The Star Inn. From previous experience, I was aware that such an establishment might - just might - be able to help with this affliction that had beset me. It then came to my attention that there was a football match on, a local derby match of England vs. Sweden. T

Had nice meal. Lovely friendly staff and nice clean pub. Nice garden. Friendly local villagers. 2nd time we went for meal the fish wasnt cooked properly so we left

We visited this pub about 3 weeks ago and found that it was changing hands again . We met t e new people who are taking over on 30th June . We dropped in yesterday anhd in discussion with some of the locals that the new ones hope to increase the B&B; side as well keep the food going. The last couple of meals we hyave had as a foursome have been good Lets hope the new ones continueon the good side of things

I had one of the best roast dinners I have ever had out here. Good generous servings and freshly cooked. Very tasty and good value.

We had a family gathering to celebrate my sons 21st birthday. Staff are helpful and friendly. Catering for 40 people was delicious, all of our guests commented how good the food was. Some of our guests stayed at the pub and had nothing but good things to say about the pub and their great team. Will definitely be going again!

This delightful old country pub is looking in need of some TLC. Paintwork is in poor condition,. Food is adequate but uninspiring and the portion of Battered Beer Cod was very small. Ham and Eggs was a good sized portion.

We love this pub, the service is friendly and the food is traditional pub grub that tastes delicious! We had a lovely evening and we will be back very soon.

Brother-in- law moved into village this week and i suggested we go down the "local" for a meal and drink as have been there a few times out from Brackley ourselves in the past.On inquiring to book a table,was told the restaurant was fully booked so decided to pop down and have a meal at Thorpe Mandeville and have "last orders"at the Star.Got back to the Star,bang on 10-30 to find the doors locked and outside lights turned off.Someone leaving let me in [with my wife and her Brother and partners outside in the dark] and i spoke to what appeared to be a family member of the management who said "we close at 10-30 in Winter months" ....eh? Subsequently been informed that the manager/family have given their notice !! So i suggest that until new owners come in, to give it a miss as from their attitude they dont want to be busy? Shame, as its a lovely old pub and we hadnt a clue it had changed hands as last time we visited ,we were very welcomed [by ZZ top lookalike gent] and it was good food.

We visited as a group of 12 persons. We were impressed with the service and the way the food was presented. The staff were efficient. We will most certainly visit again. Thanks.

Stopped in for a drink in bank holiday weekend. Wasn't made to feel overly welcome with the family. A decent enough place although the bar was a bit limited.

We popped in midweek for an early dinner, no reservation. Sat very comfortably in the bar area. Lovely ambience, very quirky layout, friendly staff, locals propping up the bar. Oh and great pint and excellent food. We'll seek you out again.

We had a family gathering at this nice venue. The food is very good, the service polite and friendly. The decor old world and quirky. My only adverse comment is that the menu is not xtensive and does not seem to change. Overall a good place to visit.

Siempre apoyo su pub local, muchos están teniendo un tiempo difícil

Called in here for lunch after visiting Sulgrave manor as its tea room only served light snacks tea cake scones etc Needed something more substantial So chose the Cheese toastie which was delicious and very satisfying Came with a lovely salad dressing and prompt service

Conocí a mi hermana para el almuerzo de hoy. Este no es elegante pero bueno honesto comida de pub en un ambiente encantador con un personal amable y servicial. Sentamos bajo la parra de uva y tenía una pinta de punta ganchuda, pescado y patatas fritas y desorden Eton. Mi hermana tenía un vegetariano frittata (y el Eton mess). Todo estaba sabroso, bien preparada y a un precio razonable. Un gran lugar para una comida informal.

Just happened to be passing by and saw a welcoming pub

We stayed at a cottage in Sulgrave village for a week and the only local pub was the Star which fortunately proved to be a great find. The Star has a friendly staff and serves good food at a reasonable price. Its the local's place so you can also meet those who live in the village.

Very nice lunch menu with lots of choice. Great venue for ladies that lunch to have a good catch up. Prices reasonable and portions generous especially the chips ! My only negative is the coffee it was quite strong and bitter. Well done Tom and Chris you are great hosts

Excellent menu with good car parking in a delightfully rural setting. Good bar with food to match. Very friendly, clean and nice and peaceful. Highly recommended.

A great traditional country pub. There was a great, genuine and friendly atmosphere where the locals are happy to chat along with visitors. The pub itself has lots of nooks and crannies so you can be as social or as private as you want to be ...there is also a well maintained garden that was great for a pint in the sunshine. We ate there a few times over the past few days and the food was excellent; great portion sizes too! We recommend the Sulgravey Suppers if you are in the village on a Wednesday evening ...it's a special put on for the locals of a choice of two dishes for $6 ...it's very popular so book early ...the thing we loved most about this evening was the fact that the pub was filled with locals but they made us feel very welcome.This place is the real deal, none of that "try hard" pretence that some country pubs exude these days.

The new owners have been in since December last year and have definitely stepped this pubs food up a few gears. The menu was small but catered for veggies. I'd rather have a small menu with excellent food than a large menu badly done! and our food was really excellent , well presented and nice finishing touches that you rarely get round here in pubs. Portions were spot on and service was excellent, well done guys.Oh and the Old Hooky was very well kept!

Charming traditional British pub. One feels so instantly welcome. It is actually quite large but cosily separated to provide a modicum of privacy without missing out on the atmosphere.The restaurant was already popular at 6pm and the aroma drew me in too. A very yummy Vegetable lasagne, thank you The service was efficient and friendly along with the chatty host.The bar full of diners and drinkers by 8pm. A good evening out.

Since having recently rediscovered the Star I have already been back 3 times (twice with a girlfriend and once with my husband who was equally impressed) in so many weeks. Tom is an amazing cook and nothing is too much trouble - good pub grub at a reasonable price is so hard to find nowadays.

This is a small country public house which we have visited several times but it has been a different landlord each time . Also the menu ic very different each time we have been presented with burgers .a small blackboard menu with fish the main items, a written menuon card and a printed menu . I suppose it all makes for interest to see what you might get They have varied in quality also

We went for Sunday lunch and found a simple but satisfying menu. The portions were good and the food well cooked. There was a good selection of wines and local ales on tap. The Star has a classic country pub feel and friendly atmosphere with a real log fire. Will definitely be back. There are also B&B rooms available if looking to visit the area.

We visited in late December and were recommended the visit by an associate at the Sulgrave Estate which we were visiting. The Inn is under new ownership and we could see their hard work right away upon entering. Very friendly staff, great ambiance, met one of the owners and the food was very good! There was a nice variety of selections including a number of tasty dishes that are not often on a pub menu. We selected a cozy table by the fire and just enjoyed our evening there. They also have a very large entertaining room in the back for groups in case that is a need you may have. Truly delightful, charming pub! Do stop by! We had a truly lovely time and would most certainly return!

I visited The Star Inn with my family for Saturday lunch. What a great country pub! The food was top quality, the atmosphere was very relaxing and friendly, and the drink was good too! Can't rate this pub highly enough! Will be going again soon.

This came recommended, so booked for lunch - not disappointed. A simple menu, good portions, great ales on draught - excellent pub experience with no pretentiousness.Worth finding, as it's in the middle of nowhere, but with the Manor nearby to explore its worth a day out.Will go again, give it a try

Nice location, food, garden and new owners offer a warm and inviting atmosphere. A good selection of Run and local Ales are a nice touch for us.

A very pleasant friendly pub serving good wholesome food in generous portions. The menu is largely English Traditional but with superb salads-do ask for a side salad.

Visited with our daughter and granddaughter . Since we had a baby with us the landlady asked us to sit out of the way. Since the place was pretty empty we declined to do so. Did stay for lunch which was OK. I understand the pub has since changed hands so perhaps children will get a warmer welcome in future

A warm atmosphere and welcoming. The food was very good and huge portions. Very convenient to visiting Sulgrave Manor.

We were going to the Red Lion at Culworth but found they were closed for holiday so ended up at The Star which we used to use quite regularly some years ago when under different management. There were a party of people on their way to a wedding and the young guy behind the bar seemed a little overwhelmed, we ordered drinks and when asked for ice he produced a small plastic measuring jug with a large lump of ice in which he proceeded to break up with some tongs. The menu was quite uninspiring mainly large meals and a menu of filled rolls, we opted for the Fritata with fries and salad. When it arrived it was not the nicest looking Frittata I had seen and you could see from looking at it that it was very oily and had a deep fried smell, the chips were OK but the salad leaves had died a while ago. Both our frittatas were completely burnt on half a side underneath and very oily so ended up leaving half. This is a shame because this pub used to serve great food and have a nice atmosphere something which is now missing. There are lots of other great pubs in the area especially the Red Lion at Culworth so I would give this one a miss.

Eight old mates out for a meal together in this typical hook Norton pub full of some fascinating bits and pieces.I chose fresh crab salad, lamb and port and Stilton all of which. We're home cooked and came in pretty impressive portions.Those that chose the fish pie were really impressed though the pork did not receive any rave reviews but overall very good and terrific value.

Small but friendly, good choice of drinks and ample car parking.Food looked fine and staff were helpful.

We really wanted to enjoy the food at the Star Inn which is a place full of character. Unfortunately, the food was average and, given this, over-priced. On the plus side, the service was really good and the beer was excellent.

We enjoyed a very tasty lunch at The Star Inn. The menu was varied and there was a wide choice. Food portions were large, and we almost managed to finish it all. Service was quick and courteous, especially considering that there was also a large party in the inn. Would certainly recommend and might suggest booking, especially at the weekend, as I can see the inn being very popular.

This pub, 200 yards from my home, is ancient and charming, like most of the rest of the village. It is just a stone's throw from Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral home of George Washington (actually it was his 5th times great grandfather's home!), but is historic in its own right. Though it has changed landlords several times in the last couple of years, it serves consistently good beer and food - not particularly fancy, but well cooked and excellently presented. The decor is old and rustic without being particularly fussy or 'authentic', and guests feel welcome and comfortable here.

We are staying here tonight and are loving every moment. The room is very quaint and the bed is the most comfy one my wife and I have ever stayed in.The food at dinner was really great and some tasty drinks. It is just so welcoming and quintessentially British. The peas with mint sauce was a triumph.Would love to stay againT&L

We just had lunch here. Very welcoming. Delicious £5 lunch menu. Warm, cosy proper English pub. Uber dog friendly. In lovely south Northants countryside.

Just had the most amazing stay at the Star Inn. We were welcomed by Paul who opened up the bar and restaurant especially us and had the most amazing meal! 9 of us stayed and the rooms were extremely comfortable! We will be going back next year for sure!

Brilliant best weekend ever Food best ever have the ribye steak best I've ever had.Breakfast brilliant friendly staff Fantastic

We have eaten here lots of times and have never had a bad meal. We have visited as a couple, with the kids and taken friends there on various occasions.Paul and Sue are friendly and the staff can not do enough for their customers.The best vegi burger I have ever had in my life! Meat eaters also enjoyed their burgers.

4 of us arrived for our meal, ordered drinks and sat at our table, the landlord proceeded to take our order after sitting down at the table next to us (a bit odd but hey). One meal came out, then 10 minutes later the next 3 followed, 2 burgers were ordered, the meat of the burgers were OK although but the buns would have been easier to eat if they were made from plasterboard, chips were under cooked and some were cold. Grapes in a salad were a bit odd. Had £3 taken off our bill as a refund???? WOW!! Paid the bill and left, won't be returning.

We stayed in the village for four nights ,what a find Paul is a little different from your normal puppet behind the Bar,you find nowadays, but what a charmer.We had Fish & Chips take away and a sit in meal, both excellent,Good beer ,malts and much more , chat , a good laugh, only problem was we did not stay long enough in the village. Absolutely a gem. and busy.

Nice to find a village pub that hasn't been turned into a modern bistro but still does great food and beers.very freindly landlord and lady behind bar and dog freindly it will be nice to return in the winter after a long dog walk and call in for a warm welcome.we had a lovely meal and nice bottle of red all at a very reasonable price.see you again very soon.

What a little find this was. Excellent food, good service, fine local beers on tap and very friendly staff, although very quiet for a Saturday night. Well priced for what we wanted - would recommend for a quiet evening catching up with friends.

Called in with a fiend over from Canada ,too show him a country pub, and it was excellant ,full of carachter and great atmosphere ,the landlord and his wife were very freindly and we had some great beer and really good home cooked fish and chips had a great evening thanks

Why have I never been here before? Well haven't I missed out, I remember this pub being a favourite of my parents many, many years ago. Its a traditional pub which has been left alone and retains its lovely original features. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and fab food. So pleased to have a simple one page menu, I really do not like menus with too much choice and they always make me very wary, how can the food possibly be freshly cooked? Not a pie fan normally but the pastry was fabulous and proper dauphinoise potatoes, you don't find them on a pub menu very often. Sensible prices too. Will definitely be back and have recommended to everyone I know. Totally agree with all the previous positive reviews. Great stuff.

Lovely old pub in nice part of Northamptonshire. Food nicely presented, I had fish and chips, which came laid on greaseproof paper in a mini fryer, the mushy peas in a small casserole dish. Good size garden at rear, I should imagine a busy place for families on a sunny day!

Good cheap no nonsense food. Good offers on a Wednesday evening. Eat for £5. Place was very popular, Good choice of home cooked food and good service

After our visit to Sulgrave Manor we decided to walk into the village which is a short distance. We ate at this pub and it was terrific. We had butterfly chicken and lovely crispy chips and salad. They sell Hook Norton ale which is a local brewery. The food was excellent and would definitely revisit. The village is peaceful and quiet and fabulous for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon out.

The Star have recently updated their menu so we thought we'd visit again. The seafood platter was advertised as a main but they kindly provided a sharing platter with great chilli sauce as a starter for us which worked really well. That meant we had room for the good quality mains (my husband had steak and I had the seemingly renowned aberbeen angus beef burger) topped off by a couple of really chocolatey desserts. All in all, great company and great food - would definitely recommend.

Im a local to the Star Inn, I have been a big fan since it switched hands in march 2013! The new tenants do their up most constantly to try and please all that come through their doors. Firstly i would like to mention how cheap the prices are for the quality of food. Their prices are almost matching and sometimes cheaper than the Weatherspoon chain style - yet the taste is 100% better! (along with every aspect - beer, atmosphere etc) Secondly - I actually asked to buy and take away a couple of burgers, sausages and chicken breasts with me once - Sue the head Chef agreed to do this as I'm such a big fan of her food - the chicken tastes better than any supermarket meat I've ever tried. And the Burgers are to die for!!! (Even when i cooked them, I could'nt compete with the Star's outcome - They win!) Thirdly - Salad with fruit is a signature style for this pub - Some people just don't understand this concept and don't "like" the taste of fruit in salad - Me personally, I LOVE fruit within salad - It makes it a bit more special, tasteful and exotic! Bee the head waitress has been a part of the main staff running this place for over 10 years - She is excellent and always offers ways to help out customers. Paul the jolly old man behind the bar is also brilliant - A typical image of a country landlord you expect to find in a local pub. (Charming) I know for a fact that the star will not offer a refund to "picky" eaters when they have consumed everything on their plate - Its like trying to return a dress once you've worn it and covered it in stains… I think these type are called "professional complainers" and they use "TripAdvisor" a lot. All in all - This is one of my favourite locals - It is not pretentious, The food is good value for money and the atmosphere is homely, friendly and all round brilliant. Please give it a go yourself and try the best burgers I've ever had! Along with one of the cleanest, tastiest Ales around! Me and my partner eat here at least once a week, He indulges in the Ale and i indulge in everything it offers! (The Coffee is superb as well! And our Dog loves the large garden you can get lost in!!) Try before you judge - I recommend The Star Inn very very highly!

We visited on a week day lunch time. Ordered burgers and have to admit that these were some of the worst that we had tasted for a long while. They were advertised as 100% Angus beef which they probably were but they tasted like the cheaper Angus burgers that you get from a super market where all you taste is fat and little else in the way of seasoning or herbs. Came with a small wire basket of chips and a small salad (very odd with peach and grapes!) At £9.95 we had expected something a little better than this. I could only manage under a quarter of my meal. When she asked I did inform the bar lady / waitress that the burger wasn't good but wasn't offered a refund at all so I also have to mark value for money as only 1 star. The bar lady / Waitress though was nice and service was good - the only thing that I can give anything above a 1 star for! There are plenty of pubs out there that charge this price or less for a good quality home made burger. Will not be returning - sorry!

Wonderful old pub with a choice of fine ales and superb food. The Ribeye steak was perfectly cooked very friendly welcoming atmosphere

This was an absolutely quality cut and just what was needed after a long drive to the Star Inn and a hard day of work.

my husband and i had one of the best meals we have ever had at the star inn last friday..we eat out a lot and this is a truly wonderful place. the service and atmosphere is excellent and the food wonderful and well presented. we had the tenderest ribeye steak with all the trimmings and a huge salad served with it. my husband had the mushroom starter which was served with a huge basket of warm baguette slices and butter. i must go back as i ididnt have room for the banana fritters and coconut icecream which sounds delicious. i highly reccommend the star and the prices are very reasonable too.
