About The Star
The Star is a pub on Warsop Road in Mansfield, set in an old building that retains its original features and character. The outdoor space is securely gated and laid out with a children's play area and a beer garden, and dogs are welcome inside the pub. Alongside the drinks, the kitchen serves Sunday lunch and runs food and drink offers, and takeaway Sunday dinners are available for those collecting a meal to take home. Coffee and lattes are on the menu for anyone dropping in during the day. The pub operates as a walk-in, and the layout works well for groups gathering across the indoor rooms and the garden.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the warm welcome and friendly staff as the heart of The Star, with several describing the owner and the wider team as genuinely helpful and accommodating. The pub's character is a close second, from the original features inside the building to the beer garden out back, which most mention as a real highlight and one reviewer praises for being securely gated with seating and a children's play area. Sunday dinners draw specific praise, with one diner calling their takeaway Sunday roast the best they have ever had, and others point to good value and a solid drink selection as reasons to return. Not every visit lands the same way: a few reviewers found the staff less welcoming, noted the outdoor tables were not as clean as hoped, and one mentioned food was not being served during the week, so it may be worth checking ahead. Overall, the pub is repeatedly described as a cosy local with a lively atmosphere.

“Disappointing. Pretty untidy and outdoor tables not as clean as one would hope. Very child friendly so perhaps not so good for oldies like us.”

“I had such a lovely experience at this beautiful old pub. The building itself is full of character, with original features that really add to the charm and atmosphere. The owner was incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, and I treated myself to a latte which was perfect—smooth, creamy, and just what I needed. They also have some great food and drink offers, which makes it even better value. The outdoor area is a real highlight too—securely gated with a lovely seating space and a children’s play area, making it ideal for families. I’ll definitely be coming back again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy, welcoming pub with great food and a warm atmosphere”
