Visited the restaurant/pub with my family including our 3 year old daughter. The welcoming was friendly and speedy. The internal decor was done to a high standard but retaining some original features. Simon who served us and the waitress were both friendly. There was good choice of food on the menu and we also had the option of specials which I had the lobster for the first time. Food can promptly and was super super tasty. Simon was very friendly and even recommended some local attractions for our daughter. It felt like we were in Michelin star restaurant but prices of the food did not reflect the same! They were very reasonable in fact. I.e lobster was £35. We were told where the lobster was sourced and provided with information on the different parts of the lobster and why they taste different. Was a truly amazing experience and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again. Cheers Simon

Upon arrival my wife asked for Bacardi. Didnât have despite already pouring the coke! I wanted roasted peanuts. None of those! This is supposed to be a pub! Food severely cremated meat and severely undercooked veg. Lamb koftas burnt to within inch of life and for £6.95 only given one each! My steak and kidney pie had enough meat but pastry burnt and veg consisting of cauliflower, green beans and leeks tasted like straight from freezer! My wife ordered hand carved ham and chips. Ham was tasteless and worst she ever eaten and so thin there was no chance it was hand carved! My wife ordered spotted dick and told staff no custard as she dairy intolerant. My wife brings her own soya custard which told staff when ordering and then after opening for her, informed us that they actually stocked it! Can you make it up! staff miserable as well. WILL NEVER RETURN!

Sometimes there is nothing better than popping to the village pub to relax, unwind and be yourself ,which is exactly what you can do here. We are located in the pretty village of Ingatestone in the High Street next to the church and opposite Pellinis Bout

as usual we knew the restaurant would be good value and being a week day not too crowded, although within 30 minutes it was getting full, the service from the bar and waiting service was attentive but not intrusive, the calfs liver and bacon excellent as were all the meals cooked to perfection.Dear ReviewerMany thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for your kind comments which I will pass onto the team. I am pleased that you enjoyed your birthday treat and we hope to see you again very soon.Best wishesAndrea InceMember of The Star Inn Team

The Fox & Goose offers several dining areas; a mixture of old and new. There is also outside seating in pretty surroundings for warmer days. Original features have been restored alongside contemporary additions that form the Gastro Pub that stands today.

13 people and 1 child for 6pm dinner for my 60th birthday on Saturday 31st-Aug. Staff were really nice and helpful and did not rush anybody. Tab was set up immediately for drinks for the party, so I did not have to worry about that. Not many starters were ordered but the mains were all served within a few minutes of eachother. There were several Veggie and Vegans for dinner and this was one of the main reasons I chose this pub, I have been here before and I also checked out the menus online beforehand so I knew that there were several options for the Veggies.The quality of food was very good and I can reccommend the lamb rump. I would certainly visit again. Another bonus was the option to have some dishes as a small starter or a larger main course. The staff made it a very enjoyable evening. Many thanks to you all.

First visit today, drove from Brentwood because of the excellent reviews. Went for the Sunday roast which was very nice. Warm welcome, excellent service, all the staff are very friendly and look happy in their work - must have a nice boss! Neither me or my wife like parsnips or carrots which comes as standard so next time we will express a preference for vegetables. I had the pork but did order an extra slice which costs another £2.50, my wife had the sirloin which consisted of two quite thin slices, for £16 I think there should have been a little more meat on the plate, we know for next time. The pub itself has a lovely setting, spotlessly clean with a fantastic atmosphere, friendly people and a real genuinely nice county pub, very busy which says it all and also has nice outdoor seating areas, back soon
