The Star Inn 1744 - Menu

Lovely village pub, friendly staff and nice atmosphere........great gin selection. Will return again for longer when next in the area

I felt sorry for the 2 members of staff the restaurant and bar was busy but no sign of management to help. We were there for 3 hours for 2 course dinner we ordered dessert but after 30 min wait decided not to bother the service was just so slow

We booked this pub for lunch at the last minute as we wanted a country pub between Leicester and Nottingham rather than a branded chain in town. Outstanding pub lunch, generous portions and really friendly (and funny) bar staff. We will be back!

The food was excellent at this restaurant. I had the ribeye steak, which was delicious, and my husband enjoyed the full rack of baby ribs. Everything we ordered was served hot. We were impressed by the staff's knowledge of the menu. A young server, who was cheerful and helpful, took care of us. We will definitely be returning.

We’ve been to the star inn twice now on our second visit decided to have lunch. The first visit was one of our many visits to new pubs , since our move upto Leicestershire we just had a drink. The lunch we had was excellent reasonably priced. There was an excellent choice on the menu a fantastic outdoor seating area. The choice of drinks is wide and varied but for me the bass was definitely a winner. Add to that warm friendly staff we’ve found another excellent pub

I stayed one night at this restaurant, including breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately, the breakfast was disappointing as you had to pay extra for a cooked breakfast. The village and room were great, but the service at the restaurant was the worst I've ever experienced. I ordered the chef's special sausage and mash, which was bland and the gravy tasted like dishwater. Overall, the food seemed cheaply made, which was a letdown considering the nice location and rooms. I would recommend avoiding eating at this restaurant, as my experience was not good.

Sorry to say this fell well below expectations based on previous visits. To be fair the staff were very good. The menu has changed and almost everything apart from the desserts was bland, limp and tasteless. This we were surprised at and it all appeared prepackaged. We were sold the prawn appetizer was hot and spicy, well someone got that wrong. The pate was hard to find under a thick layer of fat and was well below pate previously served here. Main dishes looked unappetizing, meats were dry and over cooked, weirdest Yorkshire puddings ever served and vegetables just horrible. Desserts were very good and made a Sterling effort to recover the meals. May be some time before we return which is...

Many things were very good; the decor, the amiable staff, the tasty starters but a couple of things let it down. Although it was Mothering Sunday we managed to get a last minute booking. Initially we had a very good experience with attentive, friendly staff. However, after very good starters our table wasn’t cleared until they brought our mains, which is never good. Also most of the accompanying veg were practically raw (broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots) and all of us left half a plate of veg. When staff cleared the plates they asked if everything had been ok and we told them yes, apart from the veg which needed much more cooking. Strangely the sprouts and cauliflower cheese we ordered as...

We really fancied a nice Sunday lunch and after having had a good meal here previously, decided to go back. We walked in via the pub where there were a handful of customers and 2 bar staff chatting to them. No one acknowledged us so we went up to the restaurant. There were no staff evident in the restaurant either so we hovered for a bit before I went in to a back room and found someone. She said that someone in the bar should've greeted us and we explained that they were chatting to customers so we went up to find our table. Once sat down, the service was good although we waited more than 20 minutes for our food to be served. Only 2 other tables were being used in the restaurant. When the f...
