The Star Tavern in City of London, Westminster

Beautiful pub, very good food And a cherry cider bot

I love this pub so much the food is so good and the actual building is beautiful inside and out. Only thing I would say is it a a bit pricey. But it’s expected for the model of Belgravia. Expect to spend around £20 per person on one meal and a drink 🥲

Nice little traditional English pub .

Old, traditional pub. Standard selection of beer, but includes an interesting Plum Porter on cask. Friendly service. Strong smell of bleach gives it 4 rather than 5 stars when we visited.

Got the best review on 'Honest Places' :-)

An impossible crowd on the table next to us, women barking and men mewing. Did not diminish pub though. Guinness went down nicely. Good brass lights, nice pictures on the wall and pleasant sense of camaraderie. A negative is that you cannot bring your pint outside to smoke.

Great traditional London pub, great service.

The Star Tavern 📍6 Belgrave Mews West, London SW1X 8HT 🚇 Knightsbridge 🍺 £6.75 Asahi ❤️ An exquisite pub with London folklore attached. . The Star Tavern is located on an idyllic mews in swish Belgravia. The nearest Tube is Knightsbridge which is a gentle five minute walk away. . This striking Victorian building was built in 1848 and has been a bolt hole for some famous and infamous punters over the years. The Star is infamous for being the place where the Great Train Robbery was planned, it was masterminded by Bruce Reynolds and carried out in 1963. This pub’s heyday was in the 50’s & 60’s, celebrities who frequented The Star include Bing Crosby, Princess Margaret, Peter O’Toole and Diana Dors. . The decor here is traditional, there are wooden floors, shabby furnishings and memorabilia-covered walls which give this boozer a proper London pub feel. On the right as you walk in is the small but perfectly formed servery and on the left is a good sized bar which has a ample seating and a unique feel to it. Upstairs is an additional bar which is where it is said the planning for the great train robbery took place. . This @fullers pub has an excellent beer choice, it’s in fact so good that this pub has featured in the good beer guide for fifty years. Being the uncultured swine that I am, I decided on a pint of Asahi. My pint was top drawer if a little pricey. Fullers do pub grub very well, the food menu here has lots of traditional fayre, fish and chips will set you back £17.95. . I arrived just after the pub opened with my Brother and Nephew, we ordered our beers and took a seat at the far end of the bar. We were all in agreement how impressed by the look and feel of this boozer. Just after we had our first sups a large group of senior gentleman arrived and the atmosphere was elevated and upbeat. The service was good, we were served by a nice chap behind the bar who was very welcoming . . @thestartavern is yet another outstanding pub that calls Belgravia its home. The mews setting, the fabulous decor and architecture, and who doesn’t love a story about a bit of London skullduggery, its all here. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 04.11.22 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

Good westvend pub. Can't go wrong with Fullers pub.

Hidden gem with lots of history.

Its ok. But keep in ming there is no service on the second floor in the eve, you have to grab and bring yr drinks from the first floor.

Typically British tavern, in its own right but in good taste, isolated in the street which gives the impression of a confidential address. Not at all touristy on the contrary, we don't have the impression of being in London but in the countryside. Calm and good. The marinated beef steak is very good and the dish is hearty. You feel good in this tavern, like at home. The service can be improved in terms of responsiveness, we went to find the waitress.

Delightful Sunday Roast in a historic pub with good vibe. Would recommend a visit to get away from the crowds in the area and refresh!

Food was freshly cooked. Surprised two of the deserts were not available and only black coffee as they had run out of milk. As our table was booked for 1.30 I wouldn’t have expected the kitchen to have run out of either desserts or milk at this time.

Lovely staff and taste full beers with local history

Best british food I had in London, great atmosphere with fire place, not crowded on a sunday lunch time, friendly and relaxed service ;) 🔝🔝🔝

What a little gem. Great atmosphere, brilliant location.

Tipico pub inglese in zona Belgravia. E' in una viuzza interna. Arredamento carino, magari un po' di pulizia manca. Servizio così così, anche se cortese. Cibo buono, tipico da pub. Per una torta salata o un hamburger o una birra va più che bene.

Old style Fuller's (best beers!) pub tucked away in a quiet mews. Can be hard to find. Sunday roast is always great here. Go for the lamb roast. And use Google Maps!

Great service bar staff extremely helpful! Lovely local pub feel with fire on

An unpretentious proper pub in belgravia. Tucked away in the back streets The Star is full of charm and character. Friendly staff. Decent drinks. And the food was delicious. We had the huge portions of battered haddock as all the pies on the menu had been sold. Very touristy but homely at the same time.

Max was incredible I looked forward to seeing him again!!

Traditional pub. Small, dark, old wood. Great for a pint, and the food is good and fresh. A bit dirtier and messier than it used to be.

Great atmosphere, great historic building, and lovely staff.

Typical English pub, it feels like taking a dive into the past. Delicious burgers and fish & chips. The beer is also excellent, fuller's means high quality. I had a Frontiers, I must say that I have never drank such a good beer. I recommend it for anyone who wants to relax after a day of work or a visit to London❤️

Great vibe in here. Lovely choice of small plates as well if you fancy a nibble.

Decepcionante. Éramos un grupo de seis amigos celebrando un cumpleaños número 70. El ambiente era encantador - muebles eclécticos y fotos en la pared. Parecía prometedor. Pero luego vino la divergencia entre el menú atractivo y la realidad de la comida. Pedí un cóctel de gambas con salsa Marie Rose. La realidad eran unas gambas minúsculas y duras sobre una masa de lechuga iceberg desmenuzada, con un poco de pimentón espolvoreado, pero sin salsa discernible. El peor cóctel de gambas que he comido en cualquier lugar. La caña de venado era de buen tamaño y bien cocinado y presentado, pero los tres de nosotros que experimentamos el venado coincidimos en que la carne era muy bueno, pero la salsa acuosa que acompañaba estaba desprovisto de cualquier sabor - más Bisto que bistró. En el lado positivo el NZ Sauvignon blanc y Malbec fueron buenos. En resumen, comida sobrevalorada de calidad decepcionante. Ninguno de nosotros regresará.

My partner and I went for a Sunday roast as we read good reviews online. Unfortunately, we had to sit in the bar as the place was full, which is understandable. Not sure if the staff made a lot of effort to accommodate us :( However, my frustration is because the food took way too long to arrive. We waited over an hour. The staff seemed lost :(

Good food, friendly service, plenty of choice of beers, lagers, wines.

Anoche nos reunimos unos amigos para tomar algo. Cuando llegó la hora del cierre al salir le pregunté al barman dónde estaba el inodoro y me dijo que no podía usarlo porque ahora estaban cerrados. Indignante.

Établissement en dehors des rues passantes avec un incroyable cachet. Nous avons été très chaleureusement accueilli et nous y avons très bien mangé en famille un délicieux Fish and Chips accompagné d’une bonne bière et de limonades pour les enfants.

We had an absolutely fantastic meal in this cozy, inviting pub. I had a mushroom pie and my husband had the steak and ale pie- both were delicious hot water crust style pies! When we finished our meal, I wanted to order dessert but didn’t realize that the kitchen had closed; even so, the chef made me an Eton Mess after seeing how much I had my heart set on it. I thought this was above and beyond (and it was on the house!). The pub is in a gorgeous, posh neighborhood but felt so welcoming and homey. I would highly recommend this pub.

One of the best meals of our 10 day vacation to 4 different cities. My wife had the chicken and I had the steak and ale pie. Very friendly greeting made us feel welcome as soon as we came through the door. Nice mix of locals made for a very comfortable vibe. Thanks for making the start of our trip a great beginning!

Only ever drank here but it's a pub with old skool character in heart of Belgravia. Part of my '4 Pub crawl'. Go on you know you want to do all 4!

Excelente ambiente, gran variedad de licores y Stef es increíblemente acogedor, sin duda volveremos muy pronto para disfrutar de otra bebida.

Fabulous pub tucked away in a charming Mews. Lovely establishment (apparently where the Great Train Robbery was planned). Friendly staff and an excellent choice of beers and food. Had a lovely homemade pie and my friend had an enormous plate of fish and chips. Well worth searching out!

Went for Sunday dinner here. From Canada and gave it a try and both of our meals were amazing. Just as we hoped a Sunday roast dinner would be in the UK.

Lovely hidden gem with tasty beers and great food! Manager and staff are tremendous and even though there is no.music it creates a delightful peaceful ambience! Will visit again!

Went there with my family for Sunday roast.#yummy 😋

Very disappointing. We went for a Sunday roast. The food took a while to come, the beef was very dry and overdone and my friend’s roasts were missing some of the sides like carrots and a Yorkshire pudding and several of the sides weren’t hot. I asked the staff (who were very apologetic and nice) and they said unfortunately management has decided to cut costs so they had far less staff than they needed.

Rehearsal Dinner in the private room: The Star Tavern team went above and beyond to make the evening extra special! We had guests coming from the North of England and Norway, so walking down that lovely street to find the most beautiful pub covered in flowers was truly magical. The food was perfect and the space was exactly what we were looking for. The pub had a homely feeling and the private room is gorgeous. We were left to have speeches, dance and enjoy ourselves and the staff went out of their way to make it extra fun. Thank you for providing such special memories.

Great staff and decent prices for where it is.

The Star Tavern received The Evening Standard's 'Pub of the Year' title in 1992. The Star Tavern is an award-winning, traditional London pub, just off Sloane Street with its trendy boutiques and a short walk from the luxury British department store Harvey Nichols. The Star Tavern is part of the Fuller's Pubs & Hotels Group, which has been in business since 1845. The Evening Standard's 'Pub of the Year' title was awarded to the Star Tavern in 1992. The pub has a wide menu with seasonal ingredients, in addition to the classics, it also offers pan-roasted salmon and crab & crayfish salad. I had lunch there recently and ordered pan-roasted salmon with buttered new potatoes, peas, mint & balsamic reduction for £24.00. I also treated myself to a British lemon curd pudding served with raspberry sorbet and meringue. My pan-roasted Scottish salmon was a delightful dish, full of flavour, moist and tender. Minted peas was a delightful side dish that pairs perfectly with fish. The subtle mint flavor doesn’t overpower the peas but adds a refreshing layer. New potatoes, had a creamy texture and a buttery taste that complemented the dish well. Overall, it was a satisfying meal with a balance of flavors that worked well together. To drink, I ordered Aperol Spritz, the perfect cocktail for the summer season, it is light, refreshing and sparkling. The cocktail has a slightly bitter taste, with an orange-herbal sweetness. The pub offers a cozy and laid-back atmosphere without loud music, perfect for good conversation. The Star Tavern offers function rooms, with nice decor including fireplaces, perfect for weddings, birthdays or business meetings. Overall, my dining experience was great and I would recommend it to anyone craving traditional British food! https://youtu.be/8sUwK7KcmSU?si=BV65qlygkVkbTeog

Brilliant pub and Jordan and Stef behind the bar made everyone’s night much nicer - very charismatic pairing and great attitudes

If you enjoy English pubs with a back story, you won't be disappointed with The Star Tavern! The walk through the Belgravia Mews to find it was also a highlight. We only stopped in for a quick drink but it exudes atmosphere. 🍷🍸🍺♥️

Thanks to staffs aka Mayram, Arantza and Stephanie love ❤️ you guys and and butch chef ......I think is David.......I could be wrong .....xoxo.love your Sunday lunch boo..

A very nice, quiet, family Pub. No tv’s or loud drinking. Good traditional Pub food and Ale and cider with nice servers It is on a side street and a perfectPub experience

Great lunch before Kylie concert in Hyde park

Very convivial private lunch party invited to join by the regular suspects. Haven't had a decent roast in ages....

Do not give your money to these arrogant and offensive people. I heard one of the female service staff members being negative about me to the kitchen staff after I had politely paid for an afternoon lunch. She did not realise that I had gone upstairs to sit and that I could hear what she was saying about me. Despicable arrogance and offensiveness. They give Fullers, Smith and Turner a bad name.

Cool superior place, typical English. It maintains its charm and there is a variety of beers and something to snack on. TV on the upper floor and music.

This is where the Great Train Robbery was planned and the charming atmosphere was fantastic. Good steak and ale pie, perfect with a pint.

Absolutely loved this pub. Beautiful atmosphere, delicious beer (I had ESB) and the service was a delight. This barman named Brad was very friendly and told us about the history of the pub and gave us good recommendations for beer as well as other places to visit nearby. Would love to come back.

Nice but small pub tucked away. Hidden gem.

The service was just great, as a food!

The fish and chips were delicious!

Nice historical pub in Belgravia. Upstairs a library room is very nice

Had some small plates and a couple of pints. Great, friendly service in a relaxed, real pub. Good choice of beers and ales on tap.

A great neighborhood pub out of the crowded noisy areas. Definitely not a tourist trap. Real neighborhood vibes. People brought their dogs into the pub. Great menu with large beer selection. Belgravia is a very pretty area and close to Buckingham Palce and Hyde park but not over run by crowds.

Great beer, friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Sunday roast very good with generous portion but quite long service. Very nice setting (room upstairs). We didn't expect a pub like this in the area! Very nice surprise 🙂

Sunday roast and a pint. What more do you need

lucky to have stumbled upon this place. small town pub feel with a decent looking menu. I wasn't overly hungry but had the kale salad which was tasty and felt like the healthiest meal I've had on the trip. also tried the burger which was tasty as well. a good spot for lunch if you're out around that area.

A bit out of the way, but worth the visit. Lots of history in a very classic English pub. Beer selection good both on cask and draft. Didn’t tey the food. But the menu had English pub classics.

Great place, highly recommend it 😃

The Star Tavern is a beautiful little pub located down a mews in Belgavia - not quite as hidden as the Grenadier, but on a similar little street. The interior is not quite as cozy as the exterior would make you think, but it's still quite nice. My family and I visited for dinner and we were very pleased with the menu and the food. Our server recommended the chicken roasted in garlic and butter, which was delicious. My kids had fish & chips, which was massive and perfectly cooked, as were the chips. The one dish we didn't care for was the Welsh rarebit - the bread was mushy and the sauce was very heavy on the mustard. So skip that and enjoy the rest of the menu! Great place to stop into for a pint, as well.

Great, pub with plenty of atmosphere. Friendly staff. Worth a visit!!

Cozy pub in an otherwise pretty posh area. Perfect.

The service there is so bad They just didn’t gave me a table because I am alone and recommend to me other restaurant!!!!!!!

Surely one of London’s nicest pubs, in a quiet corner of Begravia. A cosy, attractive antique pub that - extra gold stars - doesn’t bombard customers with canned music. Great food - we enjoyed the fish and chips and smoked salmon. Highly recommended.

The bartenders were so nice and welcoming. Beer and cider were delicious and the good was great!

Lots of promise. A fantastic history. A great location. Food was terrible. My recommendation is to have a quick drink to soak up the atmosphere, if there is any, then head elsewhere for food. Some interesting ideas on the menus but poorly executed. Sorry but it’s the truth.

On route to The Albert Hall. The history of the pub like so many in the area was interesting, unfortunately the food was most definitely not. The marmite roast potatoes were pretty vile, not a roast potato at all, more like a slippery, anemic boiled potato prepared last week and shown the microwave . The other food we had was mediocre at best. Stop for a drink by all means but eat elsewhere

Great food at reasonable prices.

We went on the offchance to get a Sunday lunch - and so glad we did! The service was excellent and very friendly. The roast pork was juicy (and the crackling just right!) with roast parsnips, carrots, cabbage (cooked just right - ie not overcooked!), cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes. Delicious home made gravy - we should have asked for more! My daughter who is not a vegetarian went for the butternut squash wellington - which she was really impressed with- and my brother had a lovely roast beef (pink) which being over from the USA he was really pleased with as he misses his roasts! Hubby and brother also treated themselves to the black pudding scotch egg :) So a very successful visit - many many thanks x

Excellent Pies, Fish and chips, and choice of beers! Deya by the tap 😄

Fantastic traditional pub, tucked away off Belgrave Square. Usually has an interesting guest beer or two on.

What an awesome hidden little spot in central London. Provided a piece of normal off the beaten tourist trail. Being a Fullers you get a certain standard and this didn't disappoint, food was great, staff were great (friendly and attentive) - we really enjoyed our visit.

Nice little pub off the beaten track,

Food and drinks at lunchtime. Well looked after and good beer.

The most overrated pub ever. Didn't even managed to get to the bar. Two members of staff sat down. A group of 10 of us arrived and we were greeted with rolling eyes and a loud sigh. I asked if they were still serving and all I got back was a sarcastic "Yes, I can close if you like" Couldn't believe how rude they were and decided to leave immediately Service: 1/5 Atmosphere: 1/5 So called the manager could do with a good scrub. Not presentable, unprofessional it's shame in such lovey aera. Avoid ,lots of much better pubs in Belgravia!

A great roast dinner accompanied by friendly staff. Good portions for the price. Undoubtably one of the best in the area.

I worked here as a young man in 1980, and had a wonderful life educating experience.

Loved the location. In a not so busy residential street. Beautiful on the outside at nighttime. Cosy and welcoming on the inside. Excellent service, who didn’t rush on ordering and helped out with any questions or recommendations. Food was excellent! Had bangers and mash, on special. Friend had the fish and chips, and the chips were properly extra crispy! Definitely would like to visit again soon.

Sadly this visit was not great. Ok it was lunchtime and they should not be surprised to have business but delighted. Ok 17 folk walk in before us but the two bar staff worked hard to try to deal with lots of food and drink orders all at once. The kitchen seemed overwhelmed with waits of nearly an hour for something simple off the menu. Bar service could be improved with somebody bringing out and serving the meals and not the two over worked bar staff. Fullers London Pride at £5.30 a pint was ok but taste and cellar not as good as the beautiful cellared London Pride in The Three Kings at Hammersmith at £4.80. However once the food arrived the Beef & Ale Pie to share (£35.00) was described as Stunning, Wonderful and Outstanding. Just such a shame it took so long to arrive. Sadly the sandwiches were very disappointing to the point a complaint was sent to the kitchen. Oh well it's Pot Luck but should not be. Many did not order food due to delay and a number left for another pub. Disappointing as we know the pub and returned as we had a good experiences here over time. No reason not to go back. TIP: try to avoid peak lunchtime.

My wife and I dropped in for fish & Chips which were excellent the guy that served us was very friendly and the pint of ESB was superb,relaxed atmosphere.thoroughly enjoyable experience Thanks

Really nice pub. Warm cosy atmosphere. Can get very busy, quite a few tables reserved. Ok choice of drinks at usual London prices. Service was ok.

Only wish it is slightly quieter. Food is amazing. You wouldn't be disappointed at any of its dishes you choose. They are all amazing.

They let people to reserve tables where people are already sitting and bring a slip of paper to the table telling that your table is actually reserved to someone else and ask you to clear the table. Has happened to me twice in the last two weeks. Not coming again.

Beautiful facade, quaint & warm interior. The food was fantastic as was Lee’s service. We shared pigs in a blanket, London Porter smoked salmon & the Sunday roast. The perfect combination of fresh, rich, comfort food without the heaviness. Love the history of this place. Highly recommend.

Lieu typique..cuisine traditionnelle british et accueil et ambiance chaleureux.

Found this tavern on Atlast Obsura, whose sites are places that my wife and I prefer to visit as opposed to many tourist traps. Here for dinner before heading out to the theatre for our second performance in as many days. We started with drinks, and then attacked our starters and entrees. Marmite Potatoes, Cheddar Rarebit, a Cheese Burger, Black Scotch Eggs and Squash Wellington. Our server was attentive and ended up giving my wife and I a list of places we had to visit in Dingle, Ireland, her hometown, where we were headed in a few days. Very historic, comfortable and busy the entire time we were there.

Dined in the Library room..excellent food and drink and great staff..perfect place for large groups (there were 20 of us) great pub with interesting history

Cosy, quiet and authentic pub a little further from the busy Harrods. Fish and chips are delicious, especially with a beer!

Disappointing - they weren't serving 2/3 dishes on the menu, staff were friendly but inexperienced, they'd not bothered to light the fire and the main lights were on full brightness killing any atmosphere. Oh and £7.80 a pint. Won't be going back!

Went here for lunch and the positives were that the welcome was warm and the staff were friendly and the service was good, unfortunately the food was very disappointing and mediocre and not worth the money so would not wish to return when they are far better places to dine out.

A warm welcome and lovely food/drink. Would recommend for a great time a little off the beaten track.

Atrocious standard of food. £9.50 for a rarebit which was one slice of floppy bread with grilled cheese on top. Pigs in blankets looked anameic, probably microwaved sausages. And a small bowl of packet bought frozen chips. Just really poor all round

Magnifique pub où la décoration et l'ambiance se conjuguent avec l'amabilité du service et la qualité des bières (enfin un pub avec un vrai choix de bière anglaises !) De plus, les prix sont vraiment abordables. Un magnifique souvenir
