a few in our party had visited before and were really impressed, however sadly this trip really didn’t live up to our expectations. food is priced high, but the service we received certainly didn’t match - very inattentive, lots of missed opportunities (missing cutlery, unclean glasses). the food had lots of issues also sadly - cold pancakes with the duck, mains came out before duck and then had to be reheated leaving the rice clumpy, only one portion of noodles left on a Tuesday night, and very salty beef with mushrooms. overall was a really disappointing meal, and sadly unlike those local in our party will return.

This has got to be the worst meal we've had for a long time. 8 of us went out for my husbands birthday. We booked The Star as had been many times before and had lovely meals, great service and great atmosphere. However, last week we arrived and ordered several starters and mains. Starters, 2 out of 6 were edible. Calamari was too rubbery to even cut, let alone chew.Prawn toast was greasy and oozed with oil. Mains. Well 8 came out. Both Pad Thai's were inedible as they had a burnt taste, dry and not what we normally would expect (especially as this is usually a regular family favouite here). Crispy chilli beef was really difficult to eat as very hard. Sweet and sour chicken arrived in a bowl with huge lumps of onion and carrots with 3 small chunks of chicken in a watery sauce. Massanan curry was probably the most disappointing as this is a favourite. Again massive chunks of onion, whole potatoes, with some chicken in, again, a watery sauce. We had every intention to discuss our disappointment with staff but no one arrived at our table after a very unfriendly staff member placed the last dish down. When we decided enough was enough and wanted to leave we said that we were disappointed with the whole meal and would not be prepared to pay for the whole meal but would obviously pay for what we could eat. The land lady came out to question this, who was very curt and confrontational. She agreed to take of just 2 dishes and presented us with the revised bill which we disappointedly paid as it was a birthday meal and didn't want to cause a sceen. On our arrival home we found a meal that we hadn't even ordered had been added. Also be advised that The Star charge more for a pint of soda than a pint of beer. So our 2 childrens drinks cost more than our alcoholic drink. Staff were so miserable and not the usual bunch of friendly faces. Not entirely sure what's gone on here, but not what we've experienced in the past.

First time visitors, we were extended a very warm welcome on arrival , taking coffee before the rest of our party arrived, shown where our lunch time table was located and offered menus. Once seated , the table service from the " team " was both friendly AND knowledgeable especially questions relating to the " Specials " together with questions relating to allergies. Food lived up to expectations , served hot and tasty too. Nice location by the river , ideal for sitting outside on a warm summers day.

Visit to see friends booked in advance. I got a great deal on the upgrade room with the fridge. Close to town and some lovely shops. Bus service very good also and reasonable priced. Paking at venue as always no issues small charge though in years gone by its been free.
