Just been here today and what a great little place. Food was excellent, service was faultless and immaculately clean. I would highly recommend to anyone. Ordered the salt and pepper ribs to start and absolutely best ribs I’ve ever had!

We’ve been dining at The Star Inn for many years, and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, and the service is consistently outstanding. On our latest visit, my husband and son had the fillet steaks, which were cooked to perfection. My daughter enjoyed the classic fish and chips, while I opted for the chicken curry. We couldn’t resist the chocolate fudge cake for dessert. It’s clear why this place has become a firm favourite for us. The Star Inn always delivers. Safe to say, we’ll be returning again and again!

Visiting the area where I grew up on Rose drive. Decided to pop in and have Sunday lunch. Staff were most accommodating and very pleasant. Managed to accommodate us even as they were very busy and we hadn’t booked. The inn itself is very cosy with a friendly feeling, the staff are exceptional, very friendly and professional. The food was awesome and served with a smile. I would definitely recommend and return in a heartbeat.

Came to the restaurant with a large party of 10 adults and a bunch of kids. The staff were excellent and handled our table with ease. Always had a drink, we never had to wait for someone to see to us, just always on the ball. The food was outstanding. All of it was great quality, fresh ingredients, piping hot and absolutely delicious. All for a reasonable price to boot. I would definitely go here again. If you're looking for this type of food, then give it a go, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely atmosphere, all the staff were very nice and polite, service was excellent, the food was really good we had the panko brie and goats cheese for starters for main we had Tallahassee chicken and the Wexford steak which was cooked just right medium .lemon meringue and jam Roly poly and custard for dessert both were amazing and the price was very reasonable a pint of coke 0%beer and 0%gin and tonic . Would highly recommend this family run pub to anyone. It's an old pub but good food and service done the old fashioned way no iPads or iPhone taking your order just pen and paper the way it should be . I'm a chef myself and hated the new systems in restaurants doesn't give the chef and the kitchen team any time to think . Writing the order down helps give the team time to prep so we're not rushing around like headless chickens . Well done to you for keeping to the old ways as they are the best . Your food is amazing thank you for a lovely evening after a traumatic day at the hospital .

22 of us booked in for mother in laws 80th. Dropped off balloons and banners and was welcomed and staff/owners were extremely helpful and friendly. One family member got held up but they were happy to hang on before bringing starters. We'd pre-ordered and food came swiftly with a decent gap between courses. The food itself was delicious. First visit for me but I'd heard good things. So good I went for 3 courses. Highly recommend and will definitely pay another visit. The bar itself looked nice and country cozy👍

Traditional British pub/restaurant. My latest visit with my wife was a very pleasant experience as what we have come to expect. As always friendly atmosphere and very good food. Plenty of choice from the menu and they have a specials board, which changes every week. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Friendly, efficient staff, happy vibes , what more would you want?

Had a 3 course Christmas lunch and every course was exceptional. Such a lovely well run family pub never had a bad meal and was not disappointed either, the roast beef was melt in you mouth the gravy rich and the roast potatoes had a nice crisp edge with a fluffy centre, plenty of vegetables to top your dinner up with and the brie wedges with a rasperry sauce was a perfect combination. This was finished off with perfect tirramusi. The staff and service was faultless as it alway is, just wish i wouldn't leave it so long in between visits An excellent meal out worth every penny.
