What a pity! We've had several lovely meals at The Star and the long wait time for food has not been an issue (we were prepared). The service staff were very good, if a little bit timid. Eight of the ten meals were spot on. Unfortunately, the steak was very well done versus requested medium-rare and my son's cheeseburger had no cheese. The solution to the cheeseburger was to give us a pot of grated cheese and the steak was re-done. We were told it would take 10 mins for the steak, but in reality it was closer to 20 mins (for a medium-rare steak)! This meant everyone had finished their meals before the steak arrived... others in the establishment getting their meals before the second steak arrived.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe Star's been around for years in various guises. With a bar, dining room and function room.
Visited recently for a funeral tea. The pub now has a conservatory set up for food, a bar area and seating for drinkers that doubles for eating.
Decor is light and airy and the seating is a mixture of fixed upholstered areas and both upholstered and solid chairs. All are quite comfortable.
A buffet was provided and was ample and very tasty. Cooked meats were excellent.
On this showing I'll probably go back for a more 'normal' visit. As it is I...
