    First time our meals were very ordinary. If you are going to serve us a man obviously heated up Sunday lunch, then you should tell us. It was awful. Pork was dry and chewy, crackling inedible, roast potatoes were rock hard and cauliflower cheese dried up. So disappointing. We ahould have said something, but didn’t like to. We won’t be coming in again for a late lunch.

    Very very quiet! We were the only people eating. Service was pleasant and unobtrusive. Food was mixed - excellent steak, reasonable risotto but very stodgy sandwich and poor salad with lettuce leaves not properly cleaned. Puddings were nothing to write home about. Felt the menu could be revamped to include some more summery items and salads. Young waiter was delightful - very polite. Pity the bill took so long to come considering we were the only ones eating.

    Had the Bottomless Roast. Superb. Veggies catered for. My teenager wanted a burger (not on the menu) and they happily made this for him. Service great. Some music would have been a nice touch. Will be back for this for sure. ☺️

    Really tasty roast but the lamb was tough, quite expensive for what it was. Parking also very limited and we had an early booking

    Good food as usual and great service from Lily. Unfortunately they’d run out of some dishes which was disappointing as this limited the menu choices.

    This was our fourth visit to The Star and the 20 mile journey is worth the ride to once again be able to soak up the ambiance, the cheerful attitude of all the staff and of course the great menus and superb food. We hope to be back soon and to bring some of our family along to. Thank you too all the 'Stars' !

    The Sunday roast was delicious. Only niggle was not enough Pork was on the plate and it was a little overcooked. Sliced too thinly also.

    Lovely meal and great value with the Friday Fish Specials with a free glass of bubbly. The two for one cocktails also went down well. This is a lovely friendly place to visit and we will definitely be back.
