The Star Inn — Restaurant in Wealden

Visited as a group of 8 a few days ago.

Pub and garden setting are beautiful but we all felt the food was average, especially for the price, which they are charging top prices. The food was not bad at all, but none of the 8 of us enjoyed our food. Greek salad wasn't a Greek salad, a mackerel salad only had 2 pieces of cucumber and the rest was essentially rocket. Burgers had no flavour at all, even with cheese and caramelized onion topping. We felt the charges don't reflect the quality of the food.

Also, a theatre production were doing a show in the beer garden, and someone from them came over and asked us to be quiet. We are on holiday, and it's the first time we've been together as a group since before covid struck. We weren't even being loud and we were quite insulted and it really put a downer on our evening. Not everyone in the beer garden wanted to watch the show so if they want a location where everyone in attendance is there to watch the show, a pub beer garden is...

What a hidden gem Went there on Saturday and they were not taking walk ins for food as they were so busy . Not surprised the atmosphere was fantastic and clearly a popular locations for locals and others . Simon, the landlord was exceptional , made a point on the Saturday of making sure we had everything we needed and talked us through the menu and bookings . We then booked for today. Today , An elderly customer become exceptionally unwell and the 999 responded on the phone was more then unhelpful but with the support of all the staff at The Star, who went above and beyond another customer who was a doctor stepped in and was amazing supportive . A massive heads up to Justine , who works in the restaurant , totally above and beyond to the unwell customer but making sure everyone else was ok . Our experience Exceptional service and the food was exceptional Dont let this little gem go off your radar , well worth the visit Can’t recommend them enough , we are will definitely...

A really disappointing experience. The 2 ladies serving were clearly under pressure. It seemed they were short staffed. The starters were shocking. The prawns I ordered turned up, 3 dried up prawns and 5 heads? a dried up piece of toasted bread and a couple of salad leaves. The mains then took over an hr to turn up with no explanation. When the food finally turned up it was truly underwhelming. Me and wife went for confit duck. To say it was a poor show is an understatement. I’m not sure who was cooking, but honestly I’ve had better ping meals. One measly slice of sweet potato to go with it and a sauce that resembled a badly made split greasy bisto gravy. The fish and chips my parents had , was dry and had no taste. It was supposed to be a special meal out as we had family over. Went home hungry and...
