The Star Inn in The Vale of Glamorgan

Best meal out I've had in ages! Attention to detail and service is amazing!

Food and service excellent! Spotlessly clean and comfortable surroundings. We would definitely recommend and return.

Fantastic meal. Real log fires with a friendly atmosphere in a real locals pub

Only stopped for a drink, though a seemingly popular place for Sunday lunch. Small outside beer garden and a very small car park. Nice looking place

My wife and I had a fantastic Sunday roast today, The star never fails to deliver top quality food served by top quality staff and is the best value for money in the vale..

Very friendly, freshly cooked food to an excellent standard 👌 Will be visiting again soon 😀

Went for Sunday lunch, everything was wonderful, best Sunday lunch I ve ever had

Medium-sized Welsh Village pub. Internally it has the feel of a place that was modernised quite a long time ago, so has a bit of a 60s/70s vibe about the place - and I do mean that in a positive way. The staff here were particularly welcoming and friendly. The menu is fairly straightforward, but the food was all very well prepared. We opted for what turned out to be a very nice Chicken Curry. On the bar were two ales, both from Wye Valley - slightly disappointing there was nothing from Wales although, it has to be said, Wye Valley HPA is a very nice beer, and it's from only just on the other side of the border! Overall a very positive experience, dining here.

Absolutely outstanding food Emily is lovely and always good Sunday dinner kristain is such a good chef

Fabulous food and always happy good service. Makes a day special.

Very good food can't fault the place

Local pub with a great atmosphere in the bar, quieter bar in the restaurant area. Good range of beers and a pub menu that offers sone different food choices. Will visit again.

******TOP MARKS****** the presentation and quality of our Sunday Lunch today was fantastic! A very warm welcome and high standard of cleanliness that surpasses many other restaurants in the Vale. It’s so good to sit at a clean table with clean cutlery - basics that so many restaurants can’t get right. Well done you really are a Star Team!! ******* HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ******

Great place, lovely atmosphere, food amazing.

Amazing food, especially the pies and steaks. Staff attentive. Good wine selection. It’s nice to see The Star back on the map.

Absolutely beautiful pub! Cannot fault the staff of service here and the food is absolutely incredible. We have visited this pub multiple times now and each and everytime the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. Emily is an absolute gem and Christian is a brilliant chef, the food we have had there has been amazing everytime. Most recently we have been for their Sunday dinner and burger night on Wednesdays along with many other occasions and honestly cannot praise or fault the food enough. Highly recommend x

Visited last minute for Sunday lunch, not our first time to visit the place. The service was good, friendly and welcoming, good selection on the menu, we had 3 beef diners which were great. Decent size portions, with cauliflower cheese and extra beef dripping roast potatoes as extras. The food was well presented and very tasty. Will definitely return soon.

We are so lucky to have this lovely pub close to home, I booked a table for 8 of us, (1 couldn't make it) sadly, to celebrate a late 30th b'day. Great atmosphere, very attentive and they took the time to explain the various choices available for gluten free dishes. I had a started and main, we were spoilt for choices for the main courses, the king prawns/ calamari were delicious and spicy and my main was the French chicken dish, from the plate been hot, hot to the presentation and the taste was divine. Even my Irish coffee was great, good selection of wines, I enjoy my Pinot Blush lovely and cold as it should be. The place was busy so we waited a little bit but was worth it as we had such an amazing time and enjoyed the food. Well done to all the members of the team at the Star Inn, we got special attention from the chef himself, I will be definitely be visiting more often to try some of the other dishes. Highly recommended!!!!

Went to the Star for lunch, suggested by a friend of my wife. Great recommendation! We had starters and mains. Both starters were very good but spoilt for choice on the main course. We both had one of rather interesting specials which was chicken breast burger marinated in spicy sauce then covered in popadom crumbs with chips and onion bargee. It was delicious….. absolute ‘Daza’. Service was excellent. We had Indy our black lab with us a he had 2 beef & pork sausages…… Indy’s review…. Excellent bring ‘em on. We will be back soon!

Had another fantastic Sunday lunch yesterday at 'the Star' in Wick. Always a great welcome, food was delicious. Dog is welcome in the bar and even given a treat. Can't wait to go again. So glad I booked as was very busy.

First class service, first class food in a welcoming atmosphere. What more could we ask for? We booked a table for 4 adults and 2 children at very short notice, The Sunday roast was the best we have had anywhere as was the service with a smile. We will be calling in more often as it’s definitely the best value for money around…Thanks to all the staff including the chef (who we didn’t get to see) .

First class food, everything perfectly cooked, recommend the balti strips to start and also rarebit, 6 sunday lunches all superb, lots of meat, fresh yorkshires, nice roasties, warm plates, great service, will be back as soon as possible… Tried some of mums baileys bread and butter pudding and wished id ordered some for myself!

We decided to book The Star for A Sunday Lunch we had heard so many good reports that we thought we would try it out Oh my God we were not disappointed at all the starters were wonderful and the main course ( which I had was beef ) was wonderful The staff were very attentive and this only made our lunch so relaxing Thank you very much

1st time here. All I can say is wow! Absolutely lovely food great fast service. Friendly atmosphere. Definitely recommended.

Visited for ‘Sunday at the Star’ and to sum it up briefly, we were impressed. We visited late (4:30pm) and the quality was as good as we would expect at 12pm Starters were pate, big portion, beautiful homemade pate and a plentiful chutney with toast. My partner had the scotch egg which was delightful. Onto the mains, I had beef, my partner had pork. Very big portions. Tasty, gravy superb and the roasties delicious! Cauliflower cheese very tasty. Highly recommend as one of the best places for Sunday lunch in the Vale. Well done

It's been over 10 years since I was landlady of this lovely pub in what has to be the friendliest village in Wales. I haven't been back to Wick in some time and it's lovely to see my old pub is in such capable hands. Popped in for Sunday lunch with my husband and honestly one of the nicest Sunday roasts I've had anywhere, ever. Delicious home made gravy, thick slices of roast beef, and amazing roasties (roasties are always my favourite part of a Sunday lunch and are usually the bit that determines if we go back!) We also had a side of cauliflower cheese and this was proper cauliflower cheese. Many places offer little more than a white sauce with no flavour, make no mistake you could really taste the cheese, this is the real deal. Apart from all tasting great, the food was beautifully presented, the service was good and we will definitely be returning.

We are very lucky to live locally to pop into The Star , Always a warm welcome ,great beers ,welcoming wood burner fires & Excellent food & menu ,We went tonight for pie night ,great selection, Absolutely lovely warm local pub ,thank you .

I go here for a beer or two every week, yesterday we went for lunch with the family and dog. Ate in the bar, dog was happy as the log burner was in full flow! Excellent food (we had whitebait, Rib Eye steak and a pulled rib of beef BBQ burger. Superb! ). Dog had dog treats, he seemed happy. Superb beer as always and I just had to have the Baileys bread and butter pudding for dessert. Naturally, custard was the chosen option. That was lovely as well. Can't fault the pub, beer, food or staff. Lovely place that I'm proud to call my "local".

Welcoming Staff Excellent Food. First meal I had here was Fish and Chips--they were excellent. Next meal was a steak (can't) remember which steak but it was cooked to perfection.

Absolutely stunning food, the steak was by far the best I have ever tasted. The staff were also fantastic too, so friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning, and i think I've found my new local, (even if it is 15mins away) Highly recommend....

Food was very good, the staff helpful and friendly.

Always have a lovely meal here. Emily is an awesome landlady and her team are really lovely too. The food this time was fab as usual.... veggie lasagne is to die for and the flatbread....omg!yummy! Hubby really enjoyed his burger....said it was the nicest one...

Visited here today. In the times of covid 19 times are different and difficult however no staters on the menu. No steaks. Very limited menu. Staff were excellent and attentive. Such a shame as reviews look amazing and I never give a poor pllreview as...

Traditional locals pub however I'm no local and was welcomed in no probs. Friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Only popped in for a drink but heard about their Sunday lunches (apparently very nice indeed!) This pub is the escape from life many of us need on a monthly basis, pop in chat to the locals and hear tales have a few drinks, eat some food and escape from reality? Big mention to the girls behind the bar really friendly and chilled out. What more could you ask for?

Lovely landlady, great food and more importantly keeps good pint.

Lovely cosy country pub/restaurant. My friend and I had a delicious lunch, served by friendly, helpful staff. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we stepped in the door. Thoroughly enjoyed. Excellent.

There are two very good pubs in Wick, Vale of Glamorgan, and this is one of them. The food served here has always been of a very good standard, and there is a nice, homely community feel too, with a smaller, snug room for the...

Called in for Sunday lunch on the way to the Gower and the meal was faultless. Lovely roast pork, crackling, cauliflour cheese. Really good

Great Sunday lunch. Very friendly staff.

Went here last night, I had the Pie of the Day which was liver, bacon and black pudding served with chips, peas and a gallon of gravy. The pie was superb, both in flavour and filling. Chips were superb and the gravy served in a...

Good sized portion, lovely fresh fish and batter, with mushy peas and home made tartare sauce - what could be better on a Friday night. Chips were skin on too so felt a teeny bit healthier.....

Busy pub on a Sunday for Sunday lunch. We were with a large group, and our lunches were scheduled to begin when most people had left. Good lunch and a reasonable selection of beers.

We chose to go here for a birthday Sunday lunch and were a little disappointed. The main thing that let down the lunch was the vegetables. All we had was a very small portion of cabbage and ready bought chopped swede and carrot. Now this...

Called here on the way to the airport. Service was excellent. Really helpful and prompt. I had the curry, lamb, and it was delicious. Plenty of big chunks of lamb, really tasty and very tasty, without being too hot. My wife had the lasagne, which...

Called on the off-chance and had a great meal. Friendly staff, prompt service, ample portions, tasty food, good quality meal. Reasonably priced. So glad we stopped here. Will definitely call again when we're in the area.

Called in today on the way back from the airport just for a quick drink , fab welcome locals very friendly and good wine . Can’t fault it ! Will be calling again to try the food

Food is always top rate and Emily very attentive👍👍🐈

We’ve been several times now for Sunday lunch. Never been disappointed. Lovely food, and great staff 👍

We booked here for evening meal on Saturday night, not been this pub for quite a few years we like to try different pubs. Absolutely fantastic meal so many lovely things on menu didn't really know what choose, went for goats and caramelized onions gorgeous,...

Lovely cosy atmosphere, good food and service

What a great local village pub. Well worth a visit with excellent food all home cooked super value for money. The bar staff are very welcoming always extremely warm and friendly. Local real ales are always available. Log fires what more do you want

I would highly recommend going here for food, the lamb with dauphinois potatoes and mushroom sauce was excellent. Such a lovely pub and very reasonable prices.

This is a lovely little pub, really warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and efficient and all our meals were a good size and delicious.

Lovely staff, tasty food. Came here with our baby - staff were very thoughtful and accomodating. One of us had the beef lasagne and on the vege lasagne, both were delicious. We'll come here again.

Just back from a lovely Sunday lunch. Remembered a long while ago someone mentioning this pub as doing very nice Sunday lunches so chose today to give it a try. We arrived having not booked and was lucky to get a table. The staff were warm, friendly and very accommodating. We both ordered Roast pork with a side of cauliflower cheese and the meal did not disappoint. A beautifully proportioned dinner with gorgeous homemade tasting gravy. Treated ourselves to desserts too which finished the meal off nicely. Will definitely be revisiting. Reasonably priced and well worth the money.

Our exploring of Vale pub lunches continues! On a gloomy, almost wintery, Autumnal Saturday, me and him decided to get in the car and just head down the Vale. We remembered a place we’d visited a while ago and had a lovely Sunday lunch. We arrived to a quietist car park, for a weekend, and were ready for a comforting lunch to take away the greyish hues overhead. The log fire wasn’t on, but nevertheless the ambience was quiet and warm. Once seated with a pot of tea and a pint, we perused the menu - sandwiches and jackets don’t feature on their menu but what was is reasonably priced. I opted for Chorizo and kale soup, which was recommended and asked for a haddock goujons to accompany the soup to make it a main meal. Mr M opted for faggots and peas (of which he is becoming quite the connoisseur of around the Vale). We didn’t wait long before piping hot food filled our table for two. My soup, which was well seasoned, was delicious served with beautiful, warm ciabatta. The goujons were the highlight- moist, meaty and a lovely light batter sitting on a bed of the most delicious homemade tartare sauce! Absolutely gorgeous! His faggots get a from him. Homemade and ample sized with crushed mash, mushy peas and delicious onion gravy. It did the trick - we left full and smiling. Please give this Vale pub a try next time your out and about. When the fire is lit it’s definitely going to a revisit for Thursday’s Steak night. Thanks very much - we will be back!

Called in for an evening meal. We live in Cheshire and have visited the Star before. We're originally from Bridgend. The food was excellent, as was the atmosphere. Really friendly and helpful. We were conducting some informal family research. Will definitely visit again and recommend to others.

We were staying by Marcross at a great cottage, were invited to meet friends at The Star Inn in Wick for a drink on a very wet and windy evening. We ended up having a great meal and tons of fun. I had the best lamb steak of my life and some Welsh Pride Ale complimented it. My wife had a lamb stew that she said was to die for; she fell in love with the local Gwynn Drraig Scrumpy, which is a local Welsh Cider. You can’t go wrong in stopping and having a meal here; it was one of the best of our three week trip. The servers and Bar Staff were so friendly and accommodating. We ended up coming back for supper for the next two days and those were as good if not better than the first meal. Met lots of friendly locals and some other visitors and had a great time. Getting waited on at the table was something we hadn’t really experienced in most other establishments in England and North Wales and really enjoyed that. It’s service at the bar on the pub side, which is where I enjoyed watching rugby. You can’t go wrong taking a trip to The Star Inn. Please say hello to Emily and the rest of the staff from the Canadians.

Lovely pub and food was delicious

They say that you should never go back. This was my families favourite restaurant when I was a child; part of my birthday treat every year. Well, I went back.

Our daughter had just moved in to her new house and after a long day of unpacking we walked to The Star having booked a table for eight.

Went here on a warm Saturday lunch time before going to Wick village fate. The welcome from the lady behind the bar was excellent very friendly and welcoming. I asked if we could eat outside as we had a dog with us, She said yes that is fine but you can sit in the bar with the dog if you would prefer. We chose to sit in the bar which is very cosy. The selection of food was excellent it ranged form light lunch things for example jacket pots and sandwiches right the way through to steak. They also do a lunch menu 2 courses for 12.99. We had the haddock a rump steak and the chicken roulade all were excellent good quality meat and fish. Service was also very good. We recommend this place to others

Ate here over May Day bank holiday - met up with an old school friend and her husband and had a lovely roast dinner. Good food, service and company - what more could you want. Reasonable prices too.

Driving through the area on a beautiful day only to be turned from empty restaurants in the area that were all booked (really?) or closing at 3pm, no wonder this country is going to the dogs ....... then we saw a Star in the distance, well it was The Star Inn actually and we called.

We had pre-dinner drinks and then an evening meal here. The staff were very friendly and helpful, particularly about the gluten-free options. All the food was very good, and there was a good choice of dishes on the menu

Over the years we had driven past many times. On our friends’ suggestion we decided to try it after looking at the reviews and the menu.

Nice pub. Camra pub, so always a decent beer or two. Good steak, but the food on the children's menu was a bit mediocre.

Amazing food with brilliant and friendly service. Can not wait to go back!! Well done

Saw on Facebook the gorgeous display of Sunday lunches & thought we’d get ourselves booked in.

Great night, the meal and service were excellent. My wife had prawn cocktail to start and a rump steak for main course, I had garlic mushrooms to start and the rump steak, it was a really tender steak. There are plenty of beers to chose from. The pub is very homely and clean.

I am not normally a fan of Sunday lunch in general but just fancied it on a lovely but freezing cold day. We have recently moved to the village so by the time We walked to the pub with its lovely fire I was frozen!...

Second Sunday lunch at the Star Inn and again it was superb, the food is fantastic and the staff are lovely, will definitely be visiting again

Had a great meal with the family for my wife's birthday. Have been to this restaurant several times over the years and the food remains consistently good. Great selection of dishes. Definitely one to try - you will need to book if visiting on weekend as it's always popular

went to the star inn after going to the royal mint a member of the party of people didnt show up becuase of illness so I wanted to change the order because I did not want what the other person ordered the staff were really angry with me because i changed my order I wanted a starters and a main meal but just had a main meal very dissapointed with the service that i received NEVER GO THERE AGAIN

Have now visited this lovely Inn 3 times for Sunday lunch ! Staff welcoming, traditional roast meats yummy, ample portions that represent great value for money . The ice cream is delicious! Well done !

The welcome is always the way to judge a pub restaurant.The Star passes this test with flying colours. We have visited this restaurant on many occasions.The standard of food is always first class. I would recommend booking as it can get busy at times. The meals are good value and well presented.

Lovely little pub with friendly staff. We both had the beef pie and it is the best pie I have ever had. The beef was perfectly cooked and the shortcrust pastry delicious. My only complaint is I was so full that I couldn't sample the desert menu which looked lovely. The starters that other diners ordered all looked good too. I will definitely return .

We dined as a party of four, 2 couples, on a Saturday evening. We enjoyed the experience from start to finish and would really recommend this restaurant to anyone thinking of dining in the Wick area. Our meals were amazing - the chicken wrapped in parma ham in a garlic sauce was really tasty. Our friends faggots and peas and steak and ale pie looked beautiful and we will definitely be trying these ourselves soon. I echo a previous review which says it's lovely to see a proper pie, not puff pastry. The chips were devine! The service was excellent. A really good evening and sincere compliments to the chef and staff.

Excellent food. Fantastic staff.

Starter was lovely but the main meal was a big dissapointment! Ordered rib eye and was given rump!! When we questioned it we were told it was definitely rib eye! I have been a chef for 32 years and have never seen a rib eye like it!

We had a very good evening at the Star Inn and the beer and food were excellent. We both chose the homemade beef pie which turned out to be one of the best we'd had in a long time. The entire pie casing was made from short-crust pastry and the meat inside was delicious. Too many pubs serve pies in a porcelain dish with a flaky pastry topping and it was a welcome change to see a real homemade pie. We will return again soon.

Popped in for an evening meal whilst on a short break with family last Wednesday. Lovely pub, lovely staff, excellent food and beer. We had a very enjoyable evening and we would all recommend The star Inn as the place to go. The starters are delicious, the mains were perfectly cooked and the sweets are yumm! Wish we lived nearby, this would be our local. Thank you very much for a great evening. Also just have to mention that they have the cleanest toilets ever seen in a pub!

Lovely meal wife had the brie for starters,then fish and chips I had the pate then the lamb with vegetables and real gravy,faultless next time we are in the area we will be there a big thank you from us both.

Visited on a Monday evening following a recommendation.It was quite busy for a Monday evening.The staff were , without exception, friendly, anad efficient.I had the beer battered fish and chips.Excellent !We will be returning.

Had a wonderful family meal here on Saturday 17th June, at 1pm.The staff were very accommodating, and the meals were all first class. The Chicken breast wrapped in parma ham, was so tasty, it came with a vine of cherry tomatoes, carrots, green beans, lollo rosso the best chips I have ever had and a garlic sauce, all for under £10. The haddock and chips were also cooked to perfection.You will not be disappointed if you try this wonderful old pub/restaurant.We previously had a really great Lamb roast on a Sunday...also cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are very big, so you really get value and quality for money.

Well you certainly won't go home hungry after this meal - not about quantity at all the quality was outstanding presentation modern, and lashing a thick oh so tasty gravy.We haven't been here in a while and you could certainly tell that a new chef was in place. Had the Prawn cocktail to start - plenty of prawns generous portion. Then came our main meal, my partner had beef and I had pork (minus as advertised the crackling ) with all the trimmings, yorkshire, parsnips roasties veg boat came out in individual dish - we opted for a portion of cauliflower cheese for one - plenty to feed 3.Will be going back as I think it was one of the best and most delicious Sunday lunches we've had in a long while. Whoever you are new chef keep it up SUPERB

Another fabulous lunch at the Star Inn today. Warm welcome from the owner for who nothing is too much trouble. New lunch time menu added to the already extensive menu, with jacket potatoes, filled ciabattas, home made quiche and salads on offer. Decided to stick with the normal menu, the fish pie was filled to the brim and tasted delicious, ample serving too.Thank you

Just a very quick note that I have very recently had both steaks and the fish pie and have loved it all. I tend to complain earlier than most because of my background but I have never had reason to in the Star, hence the title.Keyboard warriors are rather unfortunate people.The Star, keep doing what you do, it's fab!!

Nice pub, only had a drink there, friendly staff, clean, plenty of seating, good size car park, thought we would go back and try the food another day, they have a Steak night on a Thursday

Out for a drive thought would stop for nice bit of lunch,staff friendly. Ordered fish pie one of my favourites looked lovely when it came smelled delicious. I poured it onto my plate and to my surprise there was no fish it was a pot of cream and peas my husband poured his out it was exactly the same there were a few pink flakes i assume was salmon we paid £10.95 per portion I heard waitress recommend it to a customer they must be making a fortune on it. I did notice nobody asked if we enjoyed our meal...

very friendly staff offering a good menu, food was excellent and the service prompt, well worth a visit
