Five Pointed Star

My partner and I, along with another couple, decided to visit this pub for a drink after a nice meal on the high street while waiting for our taxi. Unfortunately, our experience was quickly soured by a rowdy group, one of whom was openly using cocaine. The door staff seemed more interested in standing outside than managing the situation inside, and the landlady appeared unaware of what was happening. I would not recommend this pub for late-night visits based on our experience. I cannot speak to what the atmosphere is like during normal hours, as this was our first and last time visiting. I am willing to provide more information, but not through a private email. The incident occurred on a Friday evening, and the way it was handled by the lady who insisted we leave created the impression that she was in charge, despite not being a staff member. The door staff were informed of the situation when we left, but their response was not satisfactory. We felt uncomfortable reporting the incident to a staff member inside, as we did not want to leave our partners in a hostile environment. Despite our efforts to peacefully leave the situation, no action was taken against the disruptive group, particularly the individual using cocaine. I understand that negative reviews may not be welcome, but this review is based on our honest experience. I hope that this incident will be properly investigated.

I am a regular at the Five Pointed Star because it is a fantastic pub with amazing staff, a great crowd, and a feeling of being part of an extended family. However, I am writing this review for a specific reason. Recently, I lost my wife who was also a regular at the pub, and the support I have received from the staff has been incredible. From the day of her passing to her wake on Friday 12th of April, every member of the team has been kind, compassionate, and went out of their way to take care of me. The owner, Tom, went above and beyond by providing space, arranging food for over 100 guests, and working with his team to ensure everything ran smoothly. This kind of care and support is truly remarkable. I am grateful for the kindness and service provided by everyone at the Five Pointed Star, and I highly recommend this establishment to others. Thank you to the entire team for everything.

I visited this cozy pub one afternoon and had a portion of chips and a coffee. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was pleasant. The pub is located on a historic high street, adding to its charm.

We came here for lunch. It's just steps away from the Sunday market. The staff greeted us and got us a seat right away. I had bangers and mesh, it's delicious. I noticed the people seated next to us had the Sunday roast with chicken, it looks good too. There's additional seating outside in a private courtyard.

Instantly greated with a warm welcome, friendliness and super service! The gentleman behind the bar (who I'd hope to say is the landlord? Was a pure gentleman, made us feel at ease and couldn't be more friendly! Me and a friend visited yesterday, not knowing where we could do with 2 small children and have room for pushchairs. We anticipated this pub thinking we would be looked down on walking in with prams but we had the most wonderful greating and throughout service, this particular was brilliant! Provided us with highchairs, came to us to serve and chatted with us. 1000% will return (without the babies so we can enjoy wine! Wonderful place, and vert impressed so thank you! :
