It’s not always easy finding a pub that feels comfortable straight away. Some feel overcrowded, others too quiet, and many just miss that balance.
Â
The Star brings it back. Whether you’re stopping in for one or staying longer, it’s a place where you can relax, feel at ease, and enjoy your time without thinking twice.
Enjoy a selection of freshly prepared ham and cheese & onion cobs, homemade scotch eggs (plain, balti, chilli, and black pudding), pork pies (plain and chilli), and sausage rolls (plain and chilli). While availability may vary from day to day, we offer a rotating range of these favourites alongside a selection of crisps, pork scratchings, and nuts.
Most of our savoury treats are made on-site, with our pork pies sourced from the renowned Russels Butchers. On Sundays, guests can also enjoy complimentary cheeseboards and crackers while they relax and unwind.
You don’t always need a full meal to enjoy a visit to the pub. Sometimes it’s about good company, a great drink, and something simple on the side. We keep things easy with classic pub snacks that pair perfectly with your drink, making every visit feel complete without overcomplicating it.
DirectionsA good pub isn’t just about what’s behind the bar, it’s about the atmosphere. Somewhere that feels alive, welcoming, and enjoyable to spend time in. With live music, a full bar, and a friendly environment, The Star creates the kind of setting where people naturally relax, connect, and enjoy themselves.
DirectionsOn a good day, being stuck inside isn’t ideal. You want the option to enjoy your drink outside without compromising on comfort. Our outdoor seating areas give you that flexibility. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a relaxed evening, you can take your drink outside and enjoy the atmosphere.
DirectionsSometimes a drink on its own isn’t quite enough, but you don’t want a full meal either. That middle ground is often missing.
That’s where we keep it right. Simple, traditional pub snacks that are easy to enjoy and made to complement your time here.
