Bacon and sausage stick and definitely one of the best I've had it was done so well and the flavour was something special. Definitely going to be a regular and you have to try this place

Met Nik for the 1st time today and what a great guy, really cares about the food he's serving to his customers. Had a Burger and the meat was super tasty ?

The Star Inn accommodated 21 of us after a long days walk - we arrived earlier than anticipated but were served courteously and promptly for our drinks before the meal. We were even allowed to move our 6pm reservation earlier to save waiting - the manager and staff were extremely helpful. The food was excellent, well cooked, tender and colourful fresh vegetables. All my friends said the same thing. We are so grateful to the staff of The Star Inn for enhancing a very enjoyable night to being truly superb on every front. Thank you.

Usually The Star is really good for food but last night we went to celebrate a birthday. The veg was undercooked floppy carrots, overcooked Hunters Chicken, cold Creme Brulee and cold custard. Returned my partners meal but again the veg was undercooked. Have sent a complaint only to be told why didn't I complain about the rest. They couldn't get 1 meal right let alone more! I won't be returning anytime soon. Not much customer service skills.

What a horrendous experience. I really don?t know where to start, we work hard all year and finished work on Friday 22nd so booked to go to the star on Saturday to start our family Christmas celebrations. Were had a dreadful year and were looking forward to a nice meal out. Firstly when we arrived the waitress came within minutes to take our order. I asked if we could order drinks and just give us a few minutes to look at the food menu. My son ordered a regular Coke, I ordered the Christmas cosmo cocktail and my husband the zero alcohol peroni. My god this was hard work , firstly I was told they might not be able to do the cocktail, my son was brought a pint of Coke and my husband a pint of peroni? He queried if it was correct as shed checked at least 3 times before what he wanted and was assured it was. However a few minutes later the waitress rushed over to advise it was in fact alcohol!! She then didn?t come back to take our food order for over 30 mins (I?d point out at this point the restaurant was more than half empty) When taking the food order we ordered the cheesy garlic bread , chorizo bites and olives to share as a starter. We were advised they didn?t have any cheese , so the bread would just be garlic bread. We agreed that would be fine. My husband ordered the duo of lamb, sorry no lamb was the response ! Eventually after another long wait our starters came out and omg ! The garlic bread was burnt to a crisp ! Black ! My husband took this back to the waitress and told her to take it back and take off our bill. How on earth any self respecting chef let that leave the kitchen , or a waitress bring that to a customer?s table is insulting. When the mains came we were at the point of giving up. Both my husbands main and my main were cold !! Stone cold. We decided to just eat what we could and get out of there. So we asked for the bill. We waited and waited and waited. All the time all three members of staff were huddled around the til. Obviously having an issue. But instead of coming over and apologising for the wait we were left sitting there. Eventually after calling IT they resolved the issue. On the way out my husband did express how bad the experience was. The manager offered to deduct something off the bill. But that would make no difference to our ruined lunch out. The food is below par, the prices were an absolute rip off!! Nearly £30 for a burger with a pig in blanket screwed to the top. I will not be returning here. It was a shame because 13 months ago we?d had a lovely meal , but this experience was horrendous. Never again

Christmas dinner and dessert wasn?t nice at all starters was nice.. when told the manger he didn?t like the complaint and was rude and didn?t seem to care about our opinions! The roast potatoes wasn?t roast potatoes.. 2 other family?s that was there also complained but he told us we was the only ones. My two children didn?t touch there dinner as they didn?t like it over £300 spent and offered us £25 back told him to keep it and we would be taken it further as for the money it wasn?t worth the money nearly 90 a head and kids £40. Day light robbery.. for the food that was cooked. Absolutely shocking as a family it was disappointing and a waste of money

Booked here for Xmas day lunch as we live in Kingsclere, as nice and local. We had previously eaten here and the food and staff were generally very good, however on this occasion, although the staff were courteous and friendly, the food was very disappointing bearing in mind the cost and the occasion. It was definitely not a patch on their standard Sunday lunches in our opinion! We had a scallop starter which was so very bland that we both didn?t eat it, however when this was commented to our server there was no appreciation or offer of an alternative or recompense! Following on, the turkey itself was nice along with the parsnips and carrots, however the roasties were awful! Didn?t seem roasted at all, certainly not crispy as stated on the menu, very anaemic in fact and the Brussels were clearly frozen and sad looking. We just feel that because of the occasion and the cost involved and that they have trained chefs, the effort would have been there to create a memorable experience!? So to sum up, it was a very disappointing and underwhelming Christmas Day lunch for us and has seriously put doubt in our minds whether to visit again in the future! Dan & Nik

Like Craig Revel Horwood I am not easily pleased. Infact I probably spend far too much time looking for fault or expecting the worst. I visited the Star Inn a while back and had a horrific experience not expecting to return. However I forgot my last visit there and rebooked a family lunch . I am glad to report that this visit was the opposite experience. Amazing tentative and pleasant staff service, good seating and fast service. My starter scallops and prawns was so good I wanted to lick the bowl after, my main meal pork with bubble n squeak was to die for and the crème brûlée desert was just sublime. Leanne was cheeky and polite and made sure everything was just right. I have given many reviews and most not good but It gives me great pleasure to give my first ever in 58 years 10/10 !!!!!!!!!
