  “Fabulous spot for a Roast! We booked the upstairs private room at the Star & Garter for a family (and dog) friendly Sunday Lunch. Our group was very well looked after by the team and all the food was delicious. Generous portions, plus extra roasties and Yorkshires - highly recommend for a Sunday Roast!”

  “I came here yesterday with my parents. The manager and our waitress were both lovely and the food was good. Unfortunately, our entire experience was ruined by the food runner who served us. She was incredibly rude, surly and openly condescending from the moment we sat down. Our table and the floor around it were dirty with food from the previous guests. When I politely asked if we could move tables, she abruptly said “no” in a very rude tone. I then tried to ask if the floor could at least be cleaned, but she cut across me mid-sentence to talk to another guest, which was extremely dismissive and unprofessional. When our food arrived, she practically slammed the plates down with a clear attitude. The way she interacted with us made it feel like we were an inconvenience rather than paying customers. Her behaviour was hostile and completely inappropriate for someone working in hospitality. It’s a shame because every other member of staff we encountered was pleasant and welcoming, and I’m sure if we had asked anyone else about moving tables they would have helped. Service was also quite slow for the price, and I noticed other tables being offered extra items with their roast while we were largely ignored. The food itself was good, but the behaviour of this one staff member made the experience unpleasant and really let the restaurant down.”

  “A great spot for a Sunday roast, the beef was Delishious. If you can secure a spot on the balcony in the late afternoon sun it’s lovely.”

  “Lovely and welcoming staff. Good choice of foods including vegetarian. Food wasn’t so great but customer service was excellent. Atmosphere was good but bit crowded. Family enjoyed the Sunday dinner but not so great. Lovely interior and there was some discounts for some.”

  “The Sunday Roast was delicious and very generous portions. When the staff check back on you, they offer you more yorkies and roast potatoes! The service was great! We were greeted immune by Eve, and she served us, got us drinks asap. Also, they're dog friendly. Highly recommend it for an amazing and chill Sunday.”

  “Just popped in as an afternoon meal and we could not of come back any more satisfied than we are!! Service was next to none a super friendly Gent dressed in a bright blue shirt could not of done more for us and what an upseller he is lol my partner originally ordered the rump cap at 22 pound but the chef had Wagu in and was going on the evening specials, he was offered to up grade and the wagu came in at 35 pound but OMG worth every penny melted in the mouth and cooked to perfection. I had the Chicken schnitzel with garlic butter and it was so tasty. 10/10 all round. Thank you for a great experience.”

  “We had carrot and orange soup and Aubrey Allen lamb scotch egg with crispy kale for starters, plus Guinea Fowl for the main course. Although fairly pricey, the quality was so good that it was worth it. The service we received was absolutely outstanding too. Very highly recommended. Enjoyed it so much that we returned in January - the new menu included Chicken Schnitzel, Beef & Ale Pie, Pork Belly and Venison (from the Specials menu). All of the food was delicious and the service was - as last time - absolutely stellar :).”

  “We are big fans of the Peach Pubs group having previously eaten a few times at both The Town House and The One Elm, often on special occasions, as was this one. We did feel that The Star and Garter did not quite match up to their sister pubs in terms of the personal service. Although we had said it was a big birthday celebration, with our children gathering from across the country, there was no acknowledgement of that at all, even when cards and gifts were exchanged. Perhaps this was just because it was a busy Saturday, which also meant that food came a little slowly (even allowing for the fresh cooking). Having said that, the menu was interesting and varied, including options for the vegan guest, and the food chosen was very tasty and much enjoyed by all 6 of us. There was a real buzz about the place creating a good atmosphere and the staff were knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.”
