What Philplloyd likes about The Star:
This was our first visit here, we’d heard good reviews and the experience didn’t disappoint. Nice atmosphere and all the staff were welcoming, helpful and pleasant. The food we ordered was lovely, well presented, hot and plentiful overall a really nice meal out, thank you. View all feedback. What Bettycat7 doesn't like about The Star:
I reluctantly have to leave a negative review, as my recent visit to the restaurant was disappointing compared to past experiences. The overall atmosphere felt outdated and lacking in creativity, with shabby decor and a uninspiring menu. While the older staff members were friendly and attentive, the younger waitstaff seemed disinterested in their roles. There is potential for the restaurant to improve and modernize,...

Food is always great at The Star, I have eaten here a number of times over the last few weeks whilst visiting my granddad.

Great little village pub. Good is more restaurant food than pub grub. But absolutely gorgeous. U do have to book at weekends as they are very busy.

The Star offers a spacious and welcoming atmosphere, complemented by a well-equipped bar and a diverse menu. While some patrons praise its exceptional service and consistently delicious dishes, others report disappointing food quality and long wait times. Despite friendly staff interactions, inconsistencies in meal preparation and ambiance have been noted, with outdated decor detracting from the overall experience. Suggestions for improvement include a menu revamp and better management of dining logistics. Nevertheless, many agree that The Star holds potential, making it a place worth revisiting – or discovering for the first time.
