The Star Inn

You'll find The Star tucked away on Middle Street in Beeston, the kind of place where regulars actually know the bar staff's names and the telly's always on for the match. It's unpretentious in the best way—dark wood, worn leather, the smell of a good roast in the kitchen. The food's reliable rather than showy: proper pub classics that won't break the bank, and the ale selection suggests someone behind the bar actually cares. It's exactly what you want when you're after a pint and some uncomplicated company, whether you're a Beeston resident or just passing through.
