Charming neighborhood pub with chef-driven British-Med-Med classics, strong roasts and steaks, friendly hosts, and occasional drink list gaps or supply hiccups.
The Star delivers strong food quality with chef-driven elevated pub fare—standout steaks, mussels, and roasts executed with care—and attentive, personable service that makes regulars feel remembered. However, inconsistent execution and occasional operational strains (understaffing delays, drink stock outages) prevent the reliability expected of higher grades. A warm neighborhood refuge worth visiting, especially for roasts and events, but not yet a destination establishment.
One caveat: Drinks selection can be limited at times (taps or spirits not fully stocked)
