You'll find The Star tucked away on Watling Street, the kind of proper neighbourhood pub where regulars actually know the bar staff's names. It's all red leather booths, wooden beams, and that unmistakable smell of fried food and real ale — no craft nonsense, just honest pub atmosphere. The menu's exactly what you'd expect from a Hungry Horse site: steak nights, loaded burgers, fish and chips that don't pretend to be anything fancy, all priced to make you come back without feeling like you've been done over. With nearly 4,000 reviews sitting at 4.4 stars, people clearly rate it — families pile in with kids, after-work drinkers settle in for a few rounds, and locals treat it like their living room.
