"We have visited this pub on many occasions and never had any problems but this time it all seemed to go pear shaped. It took ages for the orders to be taken. There were 7 on our table and when the starters came we were 2 short. We had to chase them up. By the time they came the others had more or less finished theirs. The main course equally took a long time to come. Two medium steaks looked like they had been crusified! I don't know whether the staff were aware of this or whether they overheard our comments but they arrived with two more steaks that were medium. In fairness our waiter was very apologetic about the whole scenario and the management didn't charge us for the two late starters. We had 3 bottles of wine throughout the evening, mostly because of the long wait between courses and the management also did not charge us for one of them. All in all a disappointing evening at The Star but we would still go back as it is a half way point between us and our friends and we've never had a bad meal before. Let's hope it was just a blip."

Good food and service. The pub is quite large and was busy so can get a bit noisy but was a good evening out.

Roadside country pub popular with good ales, decent food and always something going on. It's owned by Mitchell

The food and service at this restaurant were great. The establishment is quite spacious and was bustling with customers, so it could get a bit noisy. Overall, it was a pleasant evening.

We experienced long waits in between courses and at the start for placing our orders. The food was mediocre overall, with my fish and chips being bland. Our shared Camembert appetizer lacked enough bread to accompany the cheese, leaving half of it uneaten. However, my friend enjoyed the lamb dish they ordered.

We waited a very long time to be served between courses, and to originally take our orders. The food itself was not anything special, I had fish and chips, which was flavorless. Me and my boyfriend shared baked Camembert as a starter but there was not enough bread to go with the cheese, meaning half of it was left. However, my friend had the lamb shank, which he found enjoyable.

We have frequented this pub several times without any issues, but our most recent visit was not as smooth. There was a delay in receiving our orders, and when our table of 7 received our starters, two were missing. We had to track down our server to rectify the error. Some of the main courses also took a while to arrive, and two of the steaks appeared overcooked. Our waiter was apologetic and the management comped the late starters. Despite the disappointing evening at The Star, we still plan to return as it is a convenient meeting spot for us and our friends, and we have never had a bad meal there before. Hopefully, this was just a one-off experience.

"Visited today for lunch and probably wouldn't rush back although I'm aware there's recently been a change in management so maybe a few teething troubles. Messaged via their Facebook page to book a table, no response. Never was a problem in the past. The pub was very cold with no heating at all so we had to keep our coats on. Several tables near us commented the same and all sat with coats on. The coffee machine was out of order so only instant available, which wasn't pleasant. We waited a long time for someone to come and take our food order, in the end I went and found someone. Two of us wanted the steak ale pie. Only then were we told it wasn't available. The chap said we should've been told when we were given the menus, well it was him that gave them to us! With that he said he'd give us a few minutes to choose something else and walked away. He didn't come back so I had to go and ask to place our order again. At no point did anyone ask if we had any food allergies, which I thought was a requirement these days? The food was really good, credit to the chef; it was well cooked, well presented, large portions and very tasty. We did notice that two other tables waited a very long time for their food and had to chase it up, so glad we ordered when we did. We would have stayed longer and had a dessert but it was so cold we couldn't relax and enjoy it. We were next to radiator and we did ask one of the waiters if it was possible to turn it on and he said he'd see what he could do, which was nothing as it remained stone cold! When our plates were taken we asked for the bill, but it didn't arrive. Eventually a young lady arrived with the card machine and asked us to pay, which we said we'd be delighted to do once we received our bill! When we left we walked past 3 different members of staff, all of whom had waited on our table at some point during our visit. Not one of them made an effort to say thank you or goodbye. There was no warm ambiance or friendly feeling in the pub, it felt cold (literally) and unwelcoming. I also felt that a couple of members of staff waiting on tables looked rather scruffy, none of them wore a logo'd t-shirt which I feel the staff should do as they're representing the pub or brewery. It was difficult to distinguish the staff from the customers!"
