The Star

You're walking into exactly what a neighbourhood pub should be—the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff's names and the coffee's decent if you're popping in before work. The Star sits on Crawley Road in Roffey, doing the fundamentals brilliantly without any faffing about. It's got that comfortable, lived-in feeling where you can nurse a quiet drink alone or show up with mates and know you'll have a laugh. The team clearly gives a toss about what they're pouring and serving, which shows in everything from the beer selection to the food that actually tastes like food rather than something reheated.
