   The food was good, the venue and staff were excellent; my concern was really around value for money! Specifically, the ‘sharer’ platter was just about enough for one and definitely not enough for two!

   Nice atmosphere my only comment in addition to the positives sent before is I would appreciate more vegetables with some of the dishes. When full the restaurant can get v noisy and difficult to hold a conversation

   A very poor meal, terribly cooked and presented with very slow service not worth the fairly expensive prices Would not recommend.

   The Star was rammed the day we had lunch there. Great to see the pub so busy! As a result service was a bit slow but the staff were cheerful and helpful the whole time. The Sunday roasts were excellent apart from the vegetarian Wellington that lacked any thing interesting in it. The beef was perfect though. Thanks for a nice meal.

   My husband and I visited for Sunday lunch as the pub is under new ownership. Initially offered a tiny table but then moved to a better one. Implication was that all the tables were booked but no-one ever sat at them. The dining area is very pleasant. We waited over half an hour for our food which was lukewarm on arrival. My salmon was reasonable but the cabbage and broccoli uninspiring. My husband had roast beef. The plate was piled high but quality over quantity and hot food would have been preferable. Very limited menu for puddings. We each had one but mediocre to say the least. I don't imagine we will return.

   Why on earth are diners expected to adhere to a ‘ Business Casual’ dress code in a local village pub. The booking App is ridiculous; cancellations at less than 48 hours notice attracts a £10 fine per head. This sort of inflexibility will jeopardise the restaurant.
   

   The Star Inn - WaldronResponded on April 26, 2025

   Hi Michael, thanks so much for visiting and the feedback. We don't have a dress code and have amended the settings in OpenTable as best we can. We welcome everybody, however they are dressed. The cancelation policy is also a standard feature of OpenTable and the £10 charge is only applied on large bookings of more than 6. Our telephone number is visible on our website if you would like to book via that method. I look forward to welcoming you back soon.

   We had a lovely lunch in the Garden Outdoor seating. Delicious meal and excellent menu - a great combination of both pub classics and fresh/seasonal dishes. The grilled Asparagus was very tasty as were the Greek Salad and Mussels in white wine sauce. Service was spot on, very friendly and welcoming. We thoroughly recommend and will definitely return.
