Fabulous Roast Dinner The best local pub with the best food and staff.The food is always fantastic but the roast beef dinner and gammon roast dinner was amazing. Cooked to perfection served with all the trimmings, roast potatoes, mash, lovely veg and Yorkshire puddings. Mark is a great landlord and very welcoming. Kelsey, Lilly and the rest of the staff make sure everyone is looked after they are very professional. Gorgeous dessert too. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Disgusting food disgusting behaviour. My cottage pie had a piece of bone or gristle in it. Chef's response was defensive just saying it was mince so could not have had any bone. Manager's response was even worse. Very defensive and argumentative trying to say that I had eaten it all when I clearly had not. He refused to take the item off the bill and worse still, as he walked away, he swore at me in front of the kids. What an absolutely appalling experience.

I have been to the North star several times before and it's always been amazing, so I booked again for my daughters 30th Birthday, yesterday 3.12.2023, expecting the same great experience. To say I was disappointed was an understatement! The service was ok to be fair and the starters were good but the main was was not as expected! The batter on the fish for one guest was pale in colour and soft, not crispy as it should be. The steak and ale pie crust was flat and not at all crispy as you would expect puff pastry to be. the vegetables were over cooked. chips ok but not fresh. My daughters chicken meal was dry, veg over cooked, pig in blanket - over cooked. We felt like we were being rushed towards the end so didn't stay for anything desserts. Sadly it's unlikely that I would book to go there again

My family visited here after hearing good things, we arrived in plenty of time before the lunch deal finished for the day, which would have made this affordable. Young chap took our order, and 3 of us had the lunch menu in front of us and pointed to items off it, indicating we wanted the deal. They even said shall we order desert now or later, further indicating our intention to have the lunch deal. Food came, 2 of the 3 guests were happy with the food and then ordered the dessert which was part of the lunch menu. All came correctly, and then we asked for the bill. We had been charged individually for everything we ate and the lunch menu deal hadn't been applied, so we were charged £20 extra for this mistake on their side. The waiter was a young lad, so we accepted that this must just be a mistake and asked a lady who appeared to be more senior. We explained the situation, mentioning that even though we didn't explicitly say 'lunch deal', we made it pretty obvious to the waitor. This more senior lady went and had a chat with the waitor and came back to us to say he thought the lunch menu was only Sunday, so she apologised to us and was lovely and genuinely apologetic. However, she then explained that basically because we had eaten the food (which she explained was a tiny bit of a bigger portion to the lunch menu meal) that we had to pay, and came over with the card machine. Therefore, she acknowledged that it was the young waitors fault but still charged us £20 more than it was. We didn't want to cause a fuss because the young waitor could see everything and we didn't want to dishearten him, but I expected more from the senior woman. Very very dissapointed.

First visit with the new landlord and will definitely be going again. Eat from the 12 till 6 menu, 2 courses £13 or 3 courses £16. Although they are smaller sizes it was more than enough for all of us. Only slight disappointment was the Eton mess dessert which wasn?t great. Also now dog friendly which is a separate area and taking our dog in was not a problem. Definitely worth a visit.

After a recommendation to come her following the re-opening I decided to give it a try, however I left feeling disappointed and £50 out of pocket. We ordered starters I had g.bread with cheese which was okay, don't suppose you can get this wrong though. My husband ordered the pork belly, although the meat was tender, the sauce that it was in was way too salty. It was a soy based sauce but I suspect there had been a load of salt added. Not at all pleasant. We then waited around 25 mins for our starters to be cleared, after finishing and then piling the plates up to draw attention to the fact we'd finished. Our mains arrived an hour after finishing our starters. My husband ordered the 'smash' burger, this was a double patty. Unfortunately there was no smash in sight, just 2 shrivelled burnt burgers on a bun - this got swiftly sent back. I had a dry s&p chicken burger, with burnt stir fry veggies on. All in all I was gutted.

We were welcomed as soon as we went in and seated at a table. Lovely service throughout the evening, delicious food and a lovely atmosphere in the pub. Staff were very friendly and catered for gluten free needs. Will definitely be going back and recommending to friends and family.
