I booked a vineyard tour followed by afternoon tea and it was a great experience. My friends visiting from Switzerland were interested to see the vineyard and the tour guide was really friendly and informative. It was a beautiful day and the afternoon tea was one of the best ever. Very fresh and tasty with really good scones. Would highly recommend the vineyard and will be returning to have an evening meal soon.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch here today. The staff were lovely and attentive too. We all shared a generous serve of pate to start our lunch and then we all had the roast beef. The beef was so tasty and render.The Yorkshire pudding was lovely and light with a wonderful flavour. The accompanying roast potatoes,mash,mixed veges were good too. The extra for the cauliflower cheese was so worthwhile. Such a wonderful meal.

First visit under the new management. I ordered chicken breast with mozzarella and jalapeños which was served with chips and salad garnish. When the meal arrived it was actually a chicken burger with âplasticâ type chicken in a very dry bread roll. So disappointing as nowhere on the menu does it say it is a burger. Had I known this I would not have ordered it. The chips and salad garnish were ok, the cheesecake dessert was delicious. I would go again but please Carne Arms get the menu right. Also online menu states 2 for £12 but again did not see this on the menu in the pub. Hopefully these are teething problems.

My wife and I ate here last Tuesday my wife had scampi which was ok and I had gammon, which was the toughest driest gammon I have ever had. Kate about 60% of it but didn't enjoy it at all I complained to the bar manager who offered us a 20% discount on the cost of our meal, which we accepted. The discount amounted to approx £4, which isn't a lot really against the cost of a poor meal....however when the bill arrived we we overcharged by £3.40 for a pint of beer we never had. They removed that from the bill and gave us a new accurate bill. Not a happy experience at all. This is the third time this year we have eaten here, and previous meals were good and I gave good reviews.. The staff are friendly and welcoming and I like the pub. But We had a bitter experience this timeHi John,My sincere apologies your visit with us wasn't up to our usual standard, we had a rather oddly busy day for a Tuesday but it shouldn't have impacted on your evening. We hope you will give us the opportunity to show this as a one off and return with us again in the future. If you would like to discuss anything further with me however please do not hesitate to contact meMany thanksJen

Went for Sunday lunch and even though we had booked a table near the ladies toilets as my mother has problems walking, when we got there the waitress said our table was the opposite end of the pub. She then said there was a table near the ladies which was much better for us. They took our drinks order and we waited ages for them to arrive, in fact I went to the bar to ask where they were then I saw the waitress carrying them. Food arrived and 3 of us had beef and 1 chicken, plenty of meat but the yorkshire pud was hard and hollow, roast potatoes not crispy, veg (cauli, carrots, broccoli, cabbage) totally tasteless and tasted as if it had all been cooked without salted water, gravy was thin and tasted like Bisto and none of the meals were hot, they weren't cold by any means but they could of been hotter. And at £10.95 for just the main course, not good value at all. In fact on their website the price for chicken, pork and beef is £9.95 and £10.95 for lamb but when you are there the price for chicken, pork and beef is £10.95 and lamb £12.95 - so rather misleading!Desserts were £4.95 and 2 of my party had one, could be served with cream, ice cream or custard, they opted for the cream which was the yucky squirty one.The waitresses were friendly but the food was a big disappoitment and we would not go back again.

Used to visit The Ivor arms when under previous management and always had a very nice meal. Went there today for the fisrt time since bing taken over and was very disapointed. After waiting a long time for our meal it finally arrived, and did not look very appetising.My burger was burnt, our chips were not cooked properly and were barely warm, as were the fried eggs. My husband had asked for poached eggs but was thn told that the chef was cleaning the oven he poaches the ggs in so could he have fried!.. I always thought eggs were poached in water on the hob, and why would you be cleaning the oven in the middle of lunchtime serviceWill not be going back!Hi Jones19872Firstly can I thank you for visiting our pub!We have recently been taken back over by Brains which has resulted in a brand new menu, and new management, since taken over we have completely overhaled the kitchen and pub we have introduced specs and all new equipment and still having worked carried out as we speak as issues are arising with equipment which is out of our control, we have now got a very goof EHO rating of 4* which is a massive improvement of the previous 2* the old management had we are working extremely hard to get a 5* and also get a 5* in our cellar audit which will show how passionate and proud we are of our pub.I am sorry that we didn't meet you standards on your visit, our oven was being cleaned due to work being carried out on the kitchen earlier that morning which resulted in partials from the wall landing on the hob which would of been a fire hazard if not cleaned we was only able to fry eggs from a pan on the grill as the grill isn't consistent enough to boil water and is a massive H+S hazard, unfortunately this resulted in us not being able todo poached eggs but also not wanting to disappoint the customer we tried to find other solution's at the time which would work best, I am sorry for this and the last thing we want is to take anything off the menu. Again I am extremely sorry we didn't meet your expectations and can only hope you visit us again and get to experience what all the guests that leave us amazing reviews experience. Kind regards Liam Wall

After a very warm welcome from Georgie, we were shown to our table. Everything lovely and clean. Food was lovely with no complaints from any of our party of Seven. Enjoyed drinks in the garden afterwards. Lovely pub and friendly staff. Home made gravy and light crispy Yorkshire puddings would have been a five stars. We will visit again even if it is a forty minute drive. Thanks again.

We have been to the Star Inn on many occasions and have never been disappointed. We were here on Saturday evening at 6pm to celebrate my birthday. The car park is small and tend to be busy so we decided to eat earlier. We had the fisherman's net to start (highly recommend!), and for mains we had the beef burger, chicken ballotine and fish and chips. The chips were very well cooked, so were all the main courses. Chicken was well-seasoned and moist (not over-cooked), beef burger was again moist and juicy and fish was delicious. The seasonal veg was also well-prepared and cooked (still al dente and not lifeless/soggy like how many other places serve them). Portion sizes were generous. Food was good value and unpretentious. Service was fast and attentive. This shows this is a place with a good team in place. The chefs clearly take pride in what they make, care about their food and place importance on attention to detail. The waiting staff were confident, friendly and efficient. If I were to suggest any improvements, I would say write down the specials on a few small blackboards to pass around instead of reading out to customers. Some of us are more visual!
