Young lady waiting on our table was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble, lovely food and brilliant atmosphere.

Very friendly.

The food is delicious. we went for the slow cooked belly of pork with homemade pork scratchings. The chap next to us had a homemade pie and he didn’t stop raving about it. he just kept saying “mmmm” with a contented smile on his face.obviously they have a very good chef. the waiting staff (in a pub!) were so attentive and friendly. And to top it all off it’s such good value too. restaurant quality at pub grub prices. Just brilliant ! thank you Star

Always a friendly welcome and lovely punters. Function room available to hire. Big out the back and plenty of parking.

A lovely little pub but will never eat there again.Frozen stodgy mash, oil laden burger and the homemade slaw was tasteless. The pie was decent but in my opinion over priced (£16) seeing as its served with nasty frozen mash. A highly disappointing meal that lacked quality, very little eaten from either plate.But for a drink it's a lovely place to visit with good atmosphere.

We choose the Star Inn due to its handy location 'halfway' between ourselves and our friends. Immediately felt welcome with the friendly bar staff and our table was made available before our 'sit down' time. The staff were exemplary throughout our visit and the food was plentiful and tasty. We'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work.

We came up this way to walk the dogs at the nature reserve. We booked this for after the walk. We were thrilled with the outstanding service as it was very busy, also dogs allowed. Staff friendly and we ordered 3 roast beef and one pork belly. Excellent; We couldn't fault it, so tasty and good value too. Shame that it's an hour away but definitely recommend this place 5 *****

The Star is my idea of a perfect British pub, warm, inviting and very friendly staff. Called there for Sunday lunch on the way back to Whitstable. I had chicken and my wife pork and we both agreed that it was first class and for me the best Sunday pub lunch I have experienced. Beautifully cooked with generous portions. Dog friendly.

Great, helpful & friendly service and its dog friendly! If you like a “proper” cosy English pub with an open log fire and excellent food then give The Star a visit. Ps the pies are delicious and really filling - no nouvelle cuisine mullarky here!

NYE curry was delicious! Great service and the singer was amazing! Have had a couple of meals in here recently and they have been delicious! They do the best chips!
Excellent Sunday Lunch at the Star Matfield, what a treat! The food is a treat on the eyes and well executed! A great amount of food, and well worth the price, you will not be disappointed from walking into the pub and greeted by the bar staff with a smile And made most welcome, service is Second to none, top class, which is a breath of fresh air, this is a hidden gem and well with the visit, you will not be disappointed!

Never been here before but loved it. Went with friends and had the Sunday roast - delicious! Vegetables were not overcooked, meat was beautifully tender (I had the pork belly) and the portion sizes were just right. Lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff - will definitely go there again.

Lovely Roast! The portions were a great size and the meat was delicious. I had chocolate fudge cake for dessert which killed me off but was amazing! Will definitely be back ?

Visited The Star last Saturday whilst staying locally. Big Pub, lots of wood on show for that traditional feel, with areas for TV-watching, Family Dining, & smaller, quieter spots for couples. Sport was on the TV but all very civilised. Nice friendly welcome, & prompt & efficient service. Good choice of standard pub fayre which was extremely well priced. Local Beer (Tonbridge) & Aspalls Cider on tap. There's a small garden & play area that the kids were enjoying. & Plenty of parking. Recommended :)
