The Old Star

You'll find The Old Star tucked on Broadway, the kind of neighbourhood pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. It's Greene King's bread and butter—competent, consistent, the sort of place where locals actually prop up the bar rather than Instagram their pint. The ratings speak for themselves: nearly 2,000 reviews averaging 4.1 out of 5 suggests they're doing the basics right. Real ale, decent pub food, and a crowd that ranges from after-work drinkers to weekend regulars. Nothing fancy, nothing trying too hard. Just a pub that knows what it is.
