Always very friendly and helpful. Beautiful old village pub with an atmosphere to match. A great local.

Had a fabulous lunch here beautiful garden and amazing service from Djamal who did not stop working and with a constant smile and great attitude a credit to The Star Inn!

We recently hosted a private event for 60 people to celebrate a Christening, and it was absolutely perfect! The mix of adults and children were well accommodated with a wonderful selection of sandwiches, hot platters, and cakes. The food was delicious, fresh, and well-presented, catering to everyone's tastes. The service was outstanding — attentive, friendly, and efficient, making the event run smoothly. The venue itself is in a perfect spot, offering a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The little terrace outside was a great touch, providing a lovely space for guests to enjoy drinks and chat in the fresh air. Overall, this venue exceeded our expectations and made our celebration memorable. Highly recommend for any private events!

Second visit here and again the food was superb and staff friendly. A great find with plenty of tables and good service. Look forward to our next visit.

What's not to love? Very good and tasty coffee, chilled atmosphere, and friendly staff always full of smiles. Love it x

My daughter and I stopped off for lunch on Saturday. It was a beautiful day and we sat outside. We hadn’t booked this time but had arrived early so it was fine. It did get very busy soon after. We both had a quinoa, sweet potato and pomegranate salad with a delicious Dijon dressing and a side of skin on fries. The gentleman who looked after us was very attentive. We requested a Sauvignon Blanc to have with our meal. It was excellent and found out later it was Chilean. I like Chilean red but had never tried the white. For dessert we both had the vegan rum baba and it didn’t disappoint. I’m not a vegetarian but the meal was perfect for a sunny day. Will definitely go again and make a point of booking.

Great little venue. Very pleasant, lovely staff, attention to detail very high. A nice menu to choose from, and a good amount of sweet treats to choose from. Would highly recommend a visit. Well worth it

Very enjoyable lunch, with a birthday voucher. As ever Alex and team very helpful. Food was excellent and portions just right. Definitely go again
