Amazing food & the staff were really friendly & very accommodating as we were waiting for 2 more people to arrive and it was almost kitchen cut off! We'd been on a very long walk around woburn & the place was recommended to us. Will definitely be going back there next time we're in the area ?

Our first time at The Star today for 7 of us for Sunday lunch. We had to wait quite a while for our food but it was so amazing, well presented and very, very tasty!The staff deserve a mention too as they were brilliant and so nice and I can see why this place is so busy!Great home cooked food, great decor and fabulous people.

I went there with my daughter and two friends to watch the World Cup that was being televised in Australia...We stayed for Sunday lunch after the Football game and the food was well cooked and tasted really lovely. There was plenty of it, even on a small lunch. For the area, the prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere of the pub was friendly and pleasant.

*RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY AT BOTTOM OF REVIEW*We visited the star today for lunch for the first time since it’s reopening, we had such high hopes as the decor throughout was greatly improved and we had heard great things about the food in particular the roast dinners when they first opened.We arrived at 1.50pm and had ordered our food by 2:05pm, there were two other tables eating in the restaurant one a table of 4/5 having meals and another who had a cold meat meze, our food still hadn’t arrived at 2:55pm, when I asked if they knew how much longer the food would be I was told it would be soon.When the food eventually arrived at just gone 3pm we were more than disappointed, the burger which was homemade was unfortunately bland and dry and the chips were served freezing cold. The second meal which was jerk chicken and Caribbean rice was absolutely horrendous, the rice was served like a bit of slop of the plate tasting of nothing but cloves and the chicken was black. The chicken was edible but the rice was one of the worst things I have ever tasted in my life and nothing ‘Caribbean’ about it what so ever.After being seated for around an hour and a half I had to go up to the bar to ask for another drink as we were not offered another, I assumed if you are out for a meal in a restaurant the waitress would come to you and ask if you would like another drink but seemingly not.I do have to say the young lady who served us was very pleasant, believe she was the owners daughter but probably shouldn’t be left to run the whole pub by herself.I did make a complaint when paying, the lady offered to call her mum (the owner) to see what could be done but as I explained when I was there we wasn’t after money off the bill I just wanted to make them aware of what a disappointment it had been.When I mentioned the time it had taken for our meal to come out when I made my complaint I was told it was because another table had had a meal, surely it isn’t normal for only one table to be able to eat in a restaurant at a time. I would say maybe you need more than one chef especially on a Saturday but the place was empty other than people watching football and at the bar.Unfortunately due to this experience neither of us will not be visiting again which we were supposed to be with friends in a few weeks. And we will not be recommending to anybody.In response to your reply:You seem to find any negative review you’ve had as ‘disturbing’ - strange response in my opinion. Maybe you just cannot handle negative feedback. As an owner of an establishment you need to learn to be able to take criticism it’s literally part of your job.We didn’t manage to eat all of the food, there was still food left on both plates and my mother actually put some into a nappy sack and put it in her handbag to avoid embarrassment as she does not like to complain which is why I did this after she had left the premises and I went to the bar to pay.And even if we had managed to eat all of the awful food it would have been because it was now 3pm and we hadn’t eaten all day.I went up to the bar after nearly an hour and asked when our food would be coming and your daughter advised ‘soon’ so I am not sure where you are getting that information from.Maybe your daughter didn’t put the order in to the chef when it was made then if the timings do not add up. As I know when I arrived and when I ate as we arranged the meal around my babies feeding times.You may have apparently served 40 meals yesterday but that doesn’t mean I am wrong in what I am saying as I am entitled to an opinion the same as everybody else is. I don’t need to be a sheep and make the same comments as what apparently everybody else did.Like I said to your daughter when I was there ‘I wanted to love it’ but it as awful, this isn’t a vendetta against you I don’t even know you, I have no reason to lie, the food was horrendous and so is your response as a manager and owner - learn to take negative feedback. Maybe people don’t give you it because you respond like a moody child.
Great little country pub , nice garden , great food and friendly

A lovely looking recently refurbished pub. It looks like it would be gastro style but essentially, it harbours all the usual pub elements - typical pub grub menu and standard glassware. Good selection of spirits and cocktails on offer. Pub grub was good. TV’s around for sports watching and outside area available. It’s nice, clean and new, staff are friendly.

Staff were really helpful. The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere, really impressed!

Had a great Sunday Lunch Platter. Compliments from Chef to Chef. Served by Shelley who was attentive, pleasant and made our afternoon a lovely experience. Will be back with friends soon. Highly recommend. Many thanks Michael and Jackie from The Sun.

Great food, very large portions. ? Sensibly priced too.Service was a little hap hazard, but very nice staff that wanted you to enjoy your visit. Just needs a little reorganisation and refinement.Would definitely return and highly reccomend.
