  “We found this place by pure luck. We followed GPS as the M4 was congested and we ended up in this nice restaurant/bar. We had Sunday roast and it was delicious. The location is in the middle of nowhere but it was worth stopping there for our lunch. 100% recommend this place.”

  “Popped in to the fairly newly reopened Star after not being able to eat at our first choice of pub. Wasn't disappointed, food was lovely and a generous portions. Sat outside as it had been the hottest day of the year, with a lovely breeze and fabulous view. Would definitely recommend.”

  “Went on a Saturday night. Views from carpark when sun was setting were fabulous. 4 adults plus dog. Very friendly staff and great service. Food was very good too, very tasty.Good selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks available. Prices are extremely reasonable too. Would recommend booking though, as The Star is popular. Would recommend a visit and we'll definitely be going back.”

  “Lovely pub but the food was quite disappointing, the pepsi was flat and £4.50 for one glass (non refillable), my garlic bread was charred and black and the ‘homemade’ chips were definitely not homemade unfortunately. The pub itself was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were kind but I was slightly let down by the food.”

  “Visited the Star on the Hill today with my brother for lunch. I was really pleased to see that it had reopened when we were deciding where to go. We both had a pizza and really enjoyed them — nicely cooked, a good size, and very affordable.We only waited about 15 minutes as well, which was great. The service was very good too. The lady who served us (I believe her name was Dee was welcoming, smiley, and attentive. The only recommendation we'd make is that the pub still looks closed from the outside. One of the main signs has faded, and there's no clear signage such as "Entrance this way" or neither o sign with opening hours displayed somewhere clearly people can see. I think a few simple changes like this would make a big difference and help attract more passing trade, especially as it's a lovely, cosy pub inside.”

  “The Star on the Hill is a bit tucked away in the countryside. The Food was fantastic, the drinks are reasonably priced. The service delivered as expected and the owners are very friendly. The decor, whilst still undergoing some updating, is really nice. Would definitely come back if in the area.”

  “My Dad took me here back in November. We were warmly welcomed and the staff were great during the whole lunch period. Unfortunately the restaurant/pub feels cold, they really need to light all fires as it’s an old building and the floors and hard etc. The food, which was really why we were here was very good. My biggest niggle is that I wish restaurants (not just this one) would put your food on a bigger plate! (You could say ‘or give you less’ but I’d just prefer a slightly larger plate please!) My Steak was excellent, and cooked properly, the sides were also very good, although a whole small vine of tomatoes probably looks better than is actually needed. My fathers was just as good and we would certainly return here, but maybe in the summer months when it’s a bit warmer.”

  “My family went for lunch on a quiet Thursday in June. Their customer service was spectacular. They were attentive and made great recommendations for ale and desserts. I had a local ale called Butty Bach that was delicious and refreshing. They have children food options, which were good for my 2 picky eaters. We all had toffee pudding for the first time and can highly recommend trying it. Outside dining was nice due to the pleasant weather and views of the countryside. I had the daily special of sea bass that was delicious.”
