I came here for my birthday meal and we had fantastic service!! The waiter realised I didn't have a birthday cake and he brought me out a slice of cheesecake with a candle on (free) and started to sing happy birthday! Was a lovely experience and a great atmosphere all around :-)

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.

Went there unannounced as a party of 22 and found enough space. Managed a scramble a few chairs and tables together. Was warned before we ordered that food would be 40 minutes. Ok with that as just wanted a drink to begin with and watch a bit of footie. The manager also put together a few tables so our party could sit together. Food was really nice and the booze cheap. Compared to Buckinghamshire anyway. The manager came over at 9pm to warn us u18s werenât allowed after 9.30pm. I was fine with that. I donât want kids running around if Iâm on a night out. A singer came on at about 9.30ish and was pretty good. Bit loud but then Iâm getting on. They let u18 have a beer as long as they are with an adult and eating. Well they did on this occasion unlike the Harvester in Sarn up the road. That was the reason we didnât eat there. But thatâs a different story. Overall if youâre after good food, atmosphere and cheap beer youâll be alright here. Seems to have a lot of locals too. They even likevthe English. hi Thank you for kind review and as a rule we don't allow under 18s alcohol at all not even with meals. You must have slip threw our net this time. We are very happy you enjoyed your evening tho and will relay this back to out team. See you in the near future.

We booked the late sitting expecting the restaurant to be reasonably quiet- we were very wrong They must have overbooked We waited 20 minutes for a table and from then on the service was appalling - slow and disorganised Food itself was good but prices of starters and desserts seem to be increasing while portion size decreases

Make the most of eating out and visit this little restaurant. Food is great and the service is attentive. Perfect for that quiet lunch or evening meal. It is worth the effort! The menus are balanced and well presented,giving one the feeling of satisfaction and money well spent. Lunch for two was £53 including drinks and coffee.

Have eaten here on several occasions and enjoyed every meal. Great choices and always very tasty. Very good value on Tuesday for their tapas... 3 dishes and a glass of wine for £10.50 (when I went last). Hi Jan, Thanks so much for your kind review. We really appreciate the positive feedback! Tapas Tuesday is a winner in lots of our eyes. Hope to see you again soon.Kind RegardsNatalie SupervisorCorvo Lounge

Stayed at the hotel and ate one evening in the restaurant. It was quiet and the atmosphere was a little lacking, but the food was good and the service attentive. The 2-course dinner was good value. Breakfast was good but the service was very slow (even though only a few tables were occupied) and not over-friendly.

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!

Visited here for lunch today, after reading the many excellent reviews. The food was really, really good, amazingly tasty risotto, great selection of tapas on the menu which we will be returning to try. Really liked the layout and decoration of the bar and restaurant, a lot of thought has gone into creating a welcoming atmosphere, very friendly and relaxed. We chose to eat in the bar/ lounge area which had a variety of seating options, allowing us to relax on a chesterfield couch for drinks and eat at a table. We were provided with service to the table for food and drinks, and given a full explanation of the menu.There is weekly live entertainment on Saturdays and Sundays which sounds good.
