The Star Inn

You'll find The Star tucked right on Church Street, where Godalming's high street meets its quieter, older heart. This is a pub that doesn't fuss about itself—the kind of place where locals prop up the bar on a Tuesday afternoon and regulars have their usual orders memorised by staff. The ratings speak for themselves, with nearly 820 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, which honestly suggests they're doing something right with the cask ales, the food, and the general atmosphere. It's the sort of pub that thrives because it understands what people actually want when they walk through the door: good company, a decent pint, and no pretence whatsoever.
