About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
A much loved local pub in the bustling village of Witley.

Whilst food is undoubtedly the main feature, The Star has a relaxed drinking bar with roaring fires in the winter, rotating cask ales, perfectly curated wine lists and a warm welcome assured.

Outside a beautiful landscaped garden and dining terrace ensure The Star is the perfect spot to enjoy socialising with friends, family and dogs all year round.

The menu offers daily seasonal specials, with plenty of game, meat and fish and a focus on British seasonal fare,

    Restaurant quality food in cosy and friendly pub setting. Fantastic staff. Just could have created more ambience with flowers (dried?) and candles/tealights on the table.. lovely menu and wine list. Excellent food.

    Really, really enjoyed our meal here. Food and the the surroundings were both excellent. Two for one cocktails were a great bonus! All the staff were charming and great at their jobs. We’re new to the area and will certainly be back as soon as possible!

    First time visit for Sunday roasts lunch. Ample sitting but small car park. Will try the garden (dining pods included) next visit to sample the rest of the menu for a proper food review.

    We took our Canadian visitors to The Star and we were all were very impressed. The food and service was excellent. The staff were friendly and explained the more unusual dishes to our visitors. They were happy to answer all our questions and put up with our indecision as we struggled to choose. Overall an extremely enjoyable meal.

    Well staffed great food- could have had bigger portions of vegetables (cabbage and carrots). Lived the fact that all veggies are served separately rather than stuffed onto the plate
