The Star Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Went to star with friends for there anniversary found the menu was very limited to one which was on Tripadvisor nothing much for vegetarian very disappointed with meals also

Found this friendly pub after getting lost on a diversion . What a lovely landlady and friendly staff and locals. Great Cornish pub. Good quiz on a Thursday. I would highly recommend.

Not been in the evening but have been during the day. A lovely, friendly pup. A good variety of different drinks to choose from. The food is delicious especially their fish & chips also their Sunday Roast is very tasty! The staff are friendly & always make time to talk to the customers . Definitely reccomend a visit after a long walk along the river which is very peaceful. Heather

I have frequented this pub on many occasions and always been delighted. This visit was not great at all. Didn’t seem into it’s usual standard. Smaller portions and food just warm. Not hot at all. And my favourite Meringue fruit and ice cream. Not on offer. Truly disappointed. The ambiance was a bit tense and the general feel of the place not its usual happy friendly environment. And a lot of new staff faces. I had spoken so highly to the guests I took there!!!! Regarding the food and service. But sadly not the case on this occasion.

Visited the end of October as a family of 10. Food was really delicious with a great range on offer. I had the lasagne which I thoroughly enjoyed. We also had the steak pie, loaded chips, half roast chicken, Pizza and a couple of kids meals and everything was cooked well. Service was excellent and staff were really friendly. Was great on cost too with all our meals coming in to just over £150 for the family.

Party of 10 Had an amazing Sunday roast all fresh and home made. The service was excellent. The waitress was very helpful and caring. The pub is very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely visit again while we are in the area for two weeks.

We cycled here for dinner and received a very friendly welcome and a very attentive young man serving who was brilliant. He food servings are large and reasonably priced. Great cycle friendly pub with rack and secure lock facilities around the back. We were also invited to their Sunday pub quiz. Will def pop in again if on the area.

The Star is a lovely pub friendly staff, we had a family meal there and the food was gr8 so I would give 10 out of 10 for the pub. However we also booked a 3 night stay there and this is why I gave a 3 out of 5. The room of very poor standard wobbly table and chairs, low uncomfortable beds,someone mentioned a green light on all the time in an earlier review, not sure why it needs to be on?. As you enter the room there is a door blocked of with a piece of wood held on by 4 brackets, at night the light from the room behind it shines through the gaps and the noise could be loud and went on to the early hours?the drainage in the toilet is ridiculously slow at flushing,sometimes took 5or 5 flashes and to top it off the front door didn't look when you were in the flat, there was NO LOCK on the inside. So gr8 pub full of atmosphere and lovely food, I suggest you put some of the love and attention in the rooms that you obviously put in the pub

As one of our family group was staying at the Star Inn, St Erth we had during the week that we were there a couple of evening meals in the restaurant there. At the first dinner we were just three adults and a few days later we were a group of five adults and two children aged 15 and 12. On both occasions we were found a very nice table in the restaurant which takes up quite a substantial part of the bar area of this lovely old 17th century inn. On both occasions we were treated very well by the friendly local staff and enjoyed meals that were both nicely cooked and very tasty. We were all happy, we loved the old world surroundings and thought the dinner to be of good value and very satisfactory indeed and will be happy to return the next time that we are in that part of Cornwall.

We had two visits whilst on holiday locally…delicious food including GF pizza and Burger on menu and helpful staff advising on allergies.… good value for money and a friendly welcome from the locals … 2nd visit sadly our orders were muddled with another table ..young waitress who basically didn’t read the table numbers ! … she was not very professional and felt management should of intervened …however the food eventually !! Was delicious and great value and the house wine 🍷 very good so when we return in October to Cornwall we shall be visiting again 😁

We booked a table in advance because of Covid but would probably have been ok if we hadn’t. It’s hours of opening where shorter because they were short staffed. We were greeted by a lovely cheery lady who told us to sit where we liked. The menu was limited again I’m assuming this is because Covid. Don’t be put off by think it’s a locals pub, yes it is but they were really nice people wether guest or staff. The food we had was lovely in fact we couldn’t eat it all as the portions were very generous. The pizza is one of the best we’ve had and the smoked baby ribs the meat just fell of the bone. Wonderful visit. We’d definitely go again if in the area.

Unbelievable, never forget this place. Won’t even bother going into detail because I would be here all night. One positive is the lad serving the drinks behind the bar.

A great experience from booking to dessert. We visited for the food not knowing what to expect and ended up having the best pizza in Cornwall. Wonderfully kind staff and a great selection of beers to top things off. Highly recommended.

Really friendly and helpful staff made our stay. We were given advice on a lovely walk which we did after our meal. The pizza was especially good. There was a good range of real ale available.

visated this pub while we were in cornwall .nice food friendly staff and locals.the staff made you feel welcome

I was made welcome by the bar staff and the covid regs were all in place. Lots of different areas to sit and there was a sunny garden. Lovely home-made cornish pasty at a very reasonable price. The lasting memory of the pub was the 5 men sitting around the large TV (no sound) having a good old chat. When I'd given my contact details to the bar staff one called over "I can phone you!'. I gave as good as I got and they settled to their loud nattering. Very friendly. So, if you want to see a real village with local colour, this is the place.

Often as a group we frequent the Star for lunch on Saturdays throughout the winter, in the past the pub has offered quality pub food at a affordable price - however on our first visit this winter we were rather disappointed. Pie was nicely homemade but lacked seasoning, whilst the burger was more salad/bun than meat, whilst the cheese grated on top was of the cheaper, plasticy variety. Taste however of meats/fish from our meals was good! As several of us would often have a few games of pool of a lunchtime, we were disappointed to see that this is no longer in the bar area - on a plus the beer was of a good standard and always good to see a following of locals.

Best carvery I have ever had...and I’ve had a lot ! Food was beautiful and hot.......staff friendly and helpful. Couple of friends couldn’t manage to get their own carvery so staff got it for them. Will definitely come again for their Sunday Carvery.

Staff couldn't be friendlier. Great local. Always worth a visit. Lots going on. Thoroughly recommend

Iv been here on 3 occasions the first time it was being run by a couple whom I found quite unwelcoming they only served fish an chips witch was very underwhelming an over priced the second time we visited it had new a manager went went for a roast he was very friendly only a small serving station but it was a nice roast all in all he even served the children extra sausages wrapped in bacon as they didn't want meat decided to go bk a third time this time ordering off the menu I had lamb shank witch at 15 odd pounds I found very expensive when the food arrived it was very disappointing being a microwave in the bag lamb shank the same as you can buy in Iceland lol everything was microwaved I think mic the micro was there main cook it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasnt for the steep price i felt a little robbed but still a nice quite pub for a drink I wouldn't rush bk for a meal but all in all the roast was ok out of all three visits although they should have a smaller plate option for infants

A large group of us met up for breakfast and watch the rugby together at this lovely pub. The staff were so welcoming and the locals were friendly. Especially since we had children in our group who were not interested in watching the game.

Visited The Star Inn whilst staying in the area, very tasty food, friendly staff and good atmosphere, nice that they allow dogs in, beer garden looked great but unfortunately it was tipping it down. Everything very fairly priced, portion sizes quite large misses had trouble finishing off her chicken. Would come back if I am near St Erth again without hesitation.

Having been here several times over the years ... we come here a lot whilst in Cornwall which is 3 or 4 times a year.... but my son was gutted that the pool table has gone!Loved coming here for a meal, beer and pool...but with the pool table I may have to come a little less.... gutted ...... hope it comes back!

Been in this pub a couple of times over last week on holiday here in Cornwall. Landlord and landlady were super friendly and gave lots of local advice about places to visit and things to do. They have some rooms to let - looked at one with old beams - might book in future for another stay as it looked lovely. Ate food on two occasions - halloumi was great and onion rings spot on. Homemade meringues yum. Friday prosecco is a tenner a bottle and wide selection of gin. Happy days here.

Walked along the river from relubbas was hoping for a pint & a spot of lunch, despite it saying outside they were open 7 days a week they were closed, poor show! Ah well the star inn's loss is the crown goldsithney's gain!

I’m so glad I visited this pub. I read the review from “Sharron Camborne “ and must admit I nearly didn’t re try as we’d been before. But we called in.

Pub just been refurbished . Ok nothing to write to home about. Had food in there with previous landlords and was awful. New landlords doing fish and chips . We ordered this and portions in small medium and large. The fish was really nice and the batter was just right, but oh my god the chips were just awful. The amount was meagre and tasted horrible bland and limp, had the medium and so dissapointed , literally there were 12 chips , dread to think what the small portion would have contained . Had to ask for forks , salt and vinegar and sauce as none was offered . Price was reasonable,think they need to seriously look at their sizing.

Looked in to see what the food was like. Not to inpressed with the menu. Did not see many tables to site and eat. Had a quick pint and left.

Lovely village pub, we have been there a few times as the in laws live in Relubbus. It is a lovely pub and the food was nice.

We visited here on a Friday lunchtime in October - the menu was fairly extensive, reasonably priced and the food was delicious! Service was great with v friendly bar staff. We will be back!

The food was cold, the sauce for the steak came 20 minutes after the steak, was actually relieved to leave

Well I said in my last review we would return and we did..! We have just returned home after another lovely 3 night stay in Star Inn.

The accommodation is clean and comfortable. However there's no wi-fi in the rooms. Breakfast used very cheap ingredients and was burnt to a frazzle. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Encontramos este encantador pub cuando teníamos hambre y queríamos una comida. Teníamos el coche de domingo muy personal y estaba delicioso, muy amable y encantador ambiente. Teníamos nuestro perro con nosotros y nos dio un tazón de agua fresca y un poco de carne del coche muy sin nosotros ni siquiera pedirlo. Sin duda recomiendo el cordero asado!

I love going to this pub friendly staff that make you welcome great landlord Wayne...and the sun roast are just the best ever....

Qué encantador pub amable con gran gente que nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. Nos topamos con este pequeño oasis mientras explora alrededor de Marazion. Somos bebedores de Stella & sentimos que habíamos muerto y ido al cielo cuando nos espied nuestro favorito de la bomba!...

Had lunch here while staying at the River Valley Park. Lovely walk along the river, cross the bridge and up the lane into the village. Clean and tidy pub, really friendly staff. Had a very nice lunch, good value for money.

Lunch today was a real treat. We went to the Star inn in St Erth (not really Hayle as Trip Advisor call it). The food we had was served quickly, generous portions and well cooked. There was a good selection of beers and all served by a lovely barmaid called Stacey with a lovely smile nothing was too much trouble.We will be back!

We were exploring the Hayle area on our holidays and arrived in St.Erth around lunchtime so decided to try this pub, it was a lucky choice.Greeted by friendly landlord and shown a nicely varied menu, we chose to have the baguette options and were not disappointed. The baguettes were served with salad, crisps and coleslaw and a very tasty salad dressing.A good range of beers added to our enjoyment as did the hospitable locals in the bar.A good village pub well worth seeking out

friendly pub with a good selection of value for money ales, plenty of seats. It actually felt like how a pub should be.

The Star at St Erth was very homely and friendly. Food was well presented and excellent value for money.

We had booked for 7pm but our starters did not arrive for an hour and the main course was 20 minutes after that. The children were cranky with hunger. The food was fine if unimaginative. It has a typical pub atmosphere. There was a garden but we did not use that as it was raining again.

Stumbled across the Star Inn a few years ago whilst staying in Marazion. Love this pub, we went a few times recently and my little lad loved playing pool . The locals were very welcoming as well.If your in the area I would 100% recommend you stop by.

Me and my family went for a roast dinner while we were staying in Hayle for the week and on arrival the pub looked welcoming, warm and traditional. We all ordered beef roast dinner (as that's all they serve on Sunday for a main meal) and the vegetables we lovely , so were the roast potatoes but the meat was tough and like rubber so we couldn't eat it. We then ordered desert and that was nether the less that was lovley. The service was also good. The only thing putting me off going is the standard of meat that we were served.

Taken me a while to write. We visited around the end of July and loved the place and food. I had the pork Belly with loads of veg. And my other half had the sausage and mash. We couldn't finish it all as it was a huge amount of food. Food and atmosphere was very good. Will be visiting again on our return to Cornwall next month.

Trip advisor highly recommended. Two mains to choose from, delicious. Homemade Banana Split, fantastic, but come on let's have 'homemade' sponge desserts and Cornish clotted cream !

Staying in the local area on holiday with the wife and kids. After eating takeaways and pizzas etc we all craved a decent meal. Using trip advisor we found this place virtually at the top of the list of places.After booking in advance we arrived to a popular venue. Busy car park and bar area but well laid and very welcoming. Sunday roast choice was beef or lamb or you could order a half and half of meats. They arrived promptly and piping hot. Generous portions, the meat very tasty and flavoursome. Lots of perfectly cooked vegetables and Yorkshire pudding to boot.Good selection of deserts available and staff very accommodating regarding checking the ingredients. The youngest daughter has a severe nut allergy and they have a pre-prepared file relating to every meal they serve and are able to verify easily and without fuss or delay. This sort if thing you expect from big chains not individual establishments and they should be given a pat on the back for this. The real ales were very good and well kept.There was what seemed to be a couple of "professional complainers" on the table near us who it would appear were hell bent on trying getting money off their meal but we found absolutely no fault with our meals and would recommend this place without hesitation or reserve.Glad we used trip advisor for this place because it's a little way off the beaten track but certainly worth making a special trip or divert to go and eat here.Staff very friendly and willing to help.

I stayed in the Gardinia room. It was well presented and very comfortable. There was no noise from the bar and the breakfast was freshly cooked.The bar itself is lovely and full of charm. The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to welcome you each time you visit.The food is good too, the steak in particular was excellent.St Erth is a great base to visit southern Cornwall. There isn't much in the village itself except for this pub and a local shop but the railway station is just 5 minute drive. I would recommend visiting the Minack Theatre, Mousehole Harbour, Mullion Cove and Kynance Cove.

Read reviews on tripadvisor and came for here for an evening meal and then Sunday Lunch!!! Both were excellent in comfortable and friendly surroundings! The Star has managed to keep that 'local pub' feel as well as having a nice restaurant with good food at very reasonable prices. Would definitely recommended!

Found this one on trip adviser, most people giving it five stars.Well worth the 5 star ratings.Great food, friendly environment.If you are down this way on holiday, like us, " THE STAR INN " is well worth a visit.

The Star in St Erth is a real gem, we've been here quite a few times whislt on holiday and never had a dull evening. On our latest visit we had fabulous, freshly cooked pub food, very well priced and fab bottle of house red The staff and indeed locals are very friendly. Great spot to sit and watch the sun go down, outside the front of the pub.

Wow found this pub on trip advisor and decided to try it and so glad we did.The food is so yummy and the girl behind the bar so friendly.Will go back next year for sure when on holiday.Give it a try you wont be disappointed.

We received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our room. Clean, tidy and comfortable, we ate in the restaurant that evening and the food was delicious ( you have to try the slow roasted pork, amazing) great breakfast to start the day. All the staff are friendly and helpful, they even gave us a lift to the station when we checked out. A perfect break Definitely a STAR inn

Had breakfast and dinner there and the food was of a good standard and size.the service was very good and friendly.

Been here for lunch, dinner and drinks. A fine pub, great pub food, superb real ales; but I hear that the excellent owners might be leaving soon because the brewery, Punch, yet again fail to recognise competent operators and refuse to allow them to make a decent living there. Go there before the corporate beancounters ruin yet another pub on their books.

A group of 19 of us went for lunch having a variety of meals from baguettes, lasagne, fish and chips and soup. The service was friendly and the food all came together - quite a bonus for us. The food was hot, cheap and tasty and the pub gave us our own room which enhanced our visit.

We booked to eat here after reading reviews and was not disappointed. Food is what you would expect from a pub and really good. We did have to wait a while but all cooked fresh and we all ordered different things. So glad we tried and will certainly return. It is not a restaurant but good old hearty pub food.

Well we have been on a fantastic family holiday for 7 days and why we didn't find this pub earlier.beautiful family country pub and the food and service is fab.very friendly and made very welcome.we shall visit again.

Fresh, home cooked hearty food. Often too full to order dessert aftrer main course. Brilliant atmosphere, and lovely landlords.

Pop in for food on a Sunday tea time but they only do roast dinner all day Sunday however the staff was very nice and they sell Stowford press cider

8oz Rib Eye with blue cheese sauce and a beef lasagne this time both perfect cant wait to go back in July

We called in for a lunch time meal. The Inn is well decorated and is homely and welcoming. The food was well presented of ample portion and tasted delicious. It's rare to have home made chips these days! The price was very reasonable. I would recommend that you visit this Inn if you are in the area.

we visited this pub recently on a short break to cornwall ,and called in for an early evening bar meal,the pub itself has a lovely welcoming feeling and the food is good honest pub grub,all home cooked and very generous portions,by a chef who obviously enjoys his work !it,s the first time we have eaten here,but it won,t be the last,and I think that next time when we visit our son (who lives locally)it will be firmly on the agenda.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch roast here during our stay in Cornwall for a few days. Food was served quickly and very plentiful with large portion of beef, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage and swede. The roast potatoes, homemade yorkshire pudding and gravy were also really nice too. Hubby and I would have liked to have returned the same evening to sample their pub menu, but unfortunately they only do roasts on Sunday's, which may be something to remember. This pub seems to be one of only a few pubs outside Penzance serving food on a Sunday evening. This pub is a little off the beaten track, but is a lovely place and well worth the drive to visit. Would return again if we were in the area.

Bit out of the way to find but was worth it. Had no complaints on the service food or drinks. Food was served very quick with friendly service

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here today with good friends,freshly cooked food at reasonable prices clean and friendly surroundings,would certainly recommend and I'm sure we'll be back! thankyou

Very comfortable room.included breakfast excellent. Good position 5mins by car from St Erth mainline station with large car park and link line to St Ives.Lovely village with walks friendly people. Michael and Lisa were very welcoming and made our stay very good.Good area for exploring this part of Cornwall.

Very decent Sunday lunch and good value. There was a choice of lamb or beef, excellent roast potatoes, good gravy and a decent amount of veg.

We ate here with two children and we were not dissapointed! Good choice on menu all reasonably priced, and great kids menu. Also a specials board. We all had burgers and chips which were delicious and we would definitely eat here again. Friendly staff and a lovely pub in general.

Been here several times over last few years, always friendly, always attentive. Food is good, wholesome, local and fresh, I have paid three times the price for worse food! If your near don't drive past, if your not near, think about getting closer!

Visited last week for lunch by our Friday walking group. Great value food, Betty Stoggs was excellent. Place was very clean and tidy, we will visit again.

Decided to try after reading trip advisor reviews , lovely friendly place , excellent food , kids enjoyed and ate heartily , can recommend the fish n chips

Booked a table, advisable as it's a really popular place to eat. Frequented by locals and tourists alike. Really friendly owners, nice choice of food with several veggie options. Piping hot food brought to table by the chef. Empty plates all round! Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Had lunch here and was very impressed. The place has kept an old pub feel but has also,got a very up to,date feel. Very good selection of classic pub food. Caters we'll for children or anyone after a lighter main course. Our 6year old had the cod and chips which was so good he demolished the lot. Wife had veggie lasagne and I had a plough mans, all went down well!Some good ales were also on offer. Very nice location and a nice out of the way place to enjoy a good old pub lunch.

I took my two daughters, my son in law and a 7 week old baby to the Star Inn for lunch on 26th April. We were made welcome and had a really great lunch. The choice was not huge, but it was varied and great value for money. Freshly cooked with attention to detail and good ingredients, I was very impressed and will definately return.

Lovely meal had here. Good quality food, staff were very nice and pub it's self clean and well presented. Caters well for children.

We have recently moved to the village, and decided to try the local village pub for a meal. We 'scoped' it out the week before and were impressed by the welcome and the warm, cosy feel. It was my wife's bday, and everything was A1. My 2 children and wife are vegetarians, and the owners bought in vege sausages for my children as they are fussy eaters. The kids loved them. I did 3 course and the rest did 2. The chef came out to check everything was good, and the quality and service were excellent. My wife had a great time and we left as very happy customers and chuffed we have such a lovely pub on our doorstep. A real gem!

Now living in the village of St Erth this is going to be slightly biased but the pub really is a gem with great food at a very reasonable price. There is a small safe enclosed garden at the rear with swings for the children and a well furnished restaurant.The pub is highly recommended for families and couples with a cosy atmosphere. I highly recommend this pub.

A great village pub that is well worth seeking out.Good pub food that was was reasonably priced and was served in good portions. A choice of 2 real ales was on offer, including one from the local penzance brewery at crowlas. Both were in excellent condition.Worth a visit.

Friendly and dogs allowed. Service so fast and food value for money amazing. Meat so tender you could never cook it like that yourself

I have just written a glowing review on a pub in St.Erth Nr Hayle, it came up as "Star Inn" then found this as another entitled "The Star Inn".Suggest you check out my review on the other page as the food in this little country pub is outstanding.
