After swearing not to eat here again I ended up doing so the other day as my university friends insisted the food was nice. I should have trusted my gut after the last time I was there and received a bland dry veggie burger with no salad or sauce. They ordered a full English and the bacon was undercooked, they said their sausages were poor quality and the ‘toast’ was basically warm bread. One friend ordered a cappuccino which was lumpy and undrinkable. I ordered a tuna panini which was actually a disgusting tuna baguette which the baguette was soggy and warm not even crispy and it was covered in a thick layer of cheap minging cheese. The only good side was my pint was a good pour. Safe to say I’m 100% not wasting my money they on food again and I doubt my friends will either
30 foreigners without a drink between them and had to go elsewhere to watch the footy. 4 of us who like a beer cannot spend our own money here..
Went to the star on Sunday for the carvery and to be fair what excellent value for money it was!! 2 meats for £7 veg was lovely all fresh and home made meat was delicious couldn’t fault the place my only one tiny whinge was that it could do with being a few degrees hotter as it goes cold quickly but really enjoyed it and the price is great we had 3 dinners with 2 meats and a gin and 2 soft drinks for £25 which is absolutely excellent value for money would highly recommend
Went for Sunday lunch and was really disappointed. As this use to be a regular place I used to visit every Sunday and it was really nice then. Beef was really chewy none if use ate it apart from my cats! Peas where rock hard, really not nice again none of us ate them either, Mash was lumpy and tasteless. And when I ordered a coffee it was like dishwater. Cabbage was lovely. sorry for giving bad review but I needs to be stepped up for it to continue to maintain customers. No visible baby changing area either. Toilets are bit minging too. I will not be returning nor will my friends.
I was desperate for the loo and I went in and a rude member of staff stopped me and asked me to buy some thing but he was nasty and Judy towards me and made me feel like a criminal I wouldn't mind paying but their not even good toilets and I had to buy £1:20 Crisp witch is quite expensive for crisp especially when you aren't wanting them not only that the dryer in the toilets would take years to actually dry your hands I never wanted to complain but it's been a few times mostly later on that people treat and act different in their.
