    Used to go here years ago, things have definitely improved. Had a chicken dinner there Sunday and it was amazing. All homemade, great pub garden with 2 large TVs for when it's nice out. Well be back

    I visited the Star at the end of June for lunch. Food fine etc. I have now just received a £100 parking fine for entering and exiting their car park. I drove past permit only spaces on the way to a legitimate space. The car's shadow has triggered a photo and I'm not even in the space. My 90 year old Aunt was also fined on the same day for pulling into one of these spaces for less than a minute whilst working out where to park. Loads of hassle now to appeal. Shame on you Star. Will never visit this pub again.

    The landlord were swearing at us not being professional and drinking on the job didn’t think that would be allowed! We only put a complaint to them we haven’t shouted or swear at them, had a bad experience day there, there’s no communication between the staff isn’t good at all, telling us different times for food, telling us can’t do ice cream but other staff said we do. Turn forest match over to the Liverpool game even though forest only had 5 mins left, they said we got it on other tv so watch it on my of them, we sat there all day watching the game, would of been nice to tell us that they will be putting Liverpool game on but except they said we check Facebook and social media, which why would anyone check that before coming to a pub. After we all explained what happened they said we are barred, I don’t think they can bar us over a complaint! Well I will be taking this further and would not return to this rude pub again.

    Amazing!! Especially the new sizzler menu, perfect with a pint in the beer garden! Jo and Kev really have created a great environment for family days or a night out!!!

    Service was fairly quick, pizza good, I had hunters chicken which was ok but the chicken looked as though it had come straight out of a packet. I had cod and chips earlier in the week and that was good. Ok for a quick bite to eat.

    Food wasn't great, we got there they said they were only doing a Sunday lunch menu, then after we ordered they started bringing out foods off the normal menu, the children were really hungry and had a Sunday lunch under duress, and they weren't happy seeing chips for other children coming out the kitchen, Sunday lunch itself wasn't great,stodgy micro waved mash potato and sub standard veg 2 stars is being generous.

    First time in 61 years that I've been in, but we'll be back on Sunday! Nice pub with friendly staff and customers!

    Lovely place for family and dogs. Did feel sorry for the young gentleman who was left on his own but he did a brill job. Will definitely be back x

    A popular place, agreed, however their last event was terrible. The DJ either had the repeate button on or Couldn't decide what to do. The music was so loud, I'm surprised people could even hold a casual conversation, let alone the local residents. Very inconsiderate. A gew pf the regualr customers im amazed wete allowed to socialise there. No real thought by the staff im afraid. I image there may be an ongoing issue in regard to noise complaints and anti social behaviour.

    This is a lovely little pub for a relaxed drink and some food. The entrance doesn't look very inviting but inside, it's warm and cosy with a nice atmosphere. I'd be wary of ordering the seabass though. We went a few days into their new menu launch and it was awful, flavourless and without half of the ingredients advertised in the menu.

    Decent pub and outdoor area! Not had food so can't comment but menu looked decent! Remember to register your car at the bar for the carpark otherwise expect a fine!

    Dropped in for a meal and a couple of beers. Food was fine and selection of real ales very good. I opted for Black Sheep which was in very good form. My 4* probably equates to most people's 5* which would apply to the staff, very friendly and obliging. Well done the Star.

    Just had a beef dinner, £10.29 I think I've had my pants pulled down. Shop bought stuffing, Yorkers and two slices of meat, Oh and chef," try using salt in your veg " No return visit I'm afraid. Sorry better places around at a cheaper price.

    Outside area needs a bloody good clean up. Could be a great area, didn't see any staff out there for the entire time we were in. Barman was very nice and went to get me a drink from the cellar. Service good. Just got the feeling that team work is lacking.
