   Very accommodating with the dog. Appreciated the fact that although I'd made a mistake and not declared the dog when booking, the manager sorted it out, no fuss and with a smile. Brilliant. Lovely food. Lovely atmosphere.

   We booked the star at cotton; we were really looking forward to returning. We’ve been quite a few times and really enjoyed ourselves. Last night however(24.01.25), we visited. We arrived on time and were promptly taken to our table . After taking our drinks and food order; we patiently waited. We started to notice that people all around us had all had their meals and ours had still not arrived. Please note that these people had arrived quite some time after us. My partner found it necessary to question where our food was. 90mins had now passed. The waiter told us they had a problem with their ovens- not sure how everyone else was receiving their meals though with this poor excuse. The meals finally arrived and it was to a very poor standard. Nothing like what we’d had on our previous visits. They knocked the price of 2 drinks off our bill. I can’t see us returning to this venue; which is unfortunate as we loved it before.

   Very poor service we have been lots of times recommend to friends but last night 7pm no fish and also the meals not came out together the gammon approx 20 mins later then the egg another 20 mins later the steak peppercorn sauce came when finished meal and had to ask for the gravy to come with the pie meals there were 8 in our party and the service very poor I do not agree that service charge is added prior to giving the bill either and it was not worth it very disappointed we use it a lot but put us off

   We've been to the star on a few occasions and it's always been lovely. It's a gorgeous characterful building, usually with a cosy fire going. The staff are friendly and attentive. There's a wide choice of beers and spirits available and the cocktails are great. The food is delicious and for me one of the main things I love is how locally sourced the produce is.

   The food was OK but the service was a little slow and never before have I, along with many other diners, had to wear a heavy outdoor coat the whole time because the room was so cold.
