The new owners (since March 2013) are trying hard at the Star which provides traditional British country pub ambiance - tables outside in the summer and log fires in the winter. The menu is relatively short but includes regular seafood "specials" and all ingredients seemed fresh and of good quality. We stayed for one night and enjoyed an excellent dinner,... More

Recently visited the star whilst visiting silverstone and was disappointed.Felt it was poor value for money and have had much better elsewhere locally.Service was slow and the food not very hot.Have stayed here in the past but don't think I'll be rushing back.

We live locally to The Star and have frankly avoided it due to bad local reports, however we had heard that it had recently been taken over by Sue Hilton who used to, with her family run the pub in our village and thought we had better give this a try. This is a typical country pub, warm and welcoming,... More

Really great lunch at The Star. Food was great and the welcome was warm. There was a roaring log fire and a very friendly dog (the staff did check that we did not mind the dog). The English cheeseboard was amazing. Well worth a visit!

I went to the Star for a family meal. The pub has been under new management for about a month and they are going a great job! We were greeted by the owner and shown into the bar area where we were served by very friendly staff. The restaraunt and 'snug' area were lovely and very cosy for both couples... More

We arrived late after a hard days shopping at Bicester Outlet. This wasn't the pub we thought we had booked into, our mistake, but it was fabulous. A very warm welcome from the hosts, a warm fire, comfy rooms and the food was fantastic. Melt in the mouth fish and chips and a hearty home made steak and ale pie.... More
