"Edited previous 5 star review due to being under new management. Jan 24. I wasn’t going to leave a review however I responded to a friend with an honest account of my experience last night on one of the pubs Facebook posts and they deleted the comment. I feel it’s only right that negative comments are seen as well as the positive. The food was beautiful, I can’t fault it however… We had a table for 2 booked for 7pm, we arrived at the same time as another table for 2 who also booked for 7pm and we were met with “Sorry there aren’t any tables at the moment would you mind waiting” We ordered a drink and waited to then be told by another member of staff “There aren’t any tables” and “There’s not a lot I can do about it at the moment” In hindsight we should have left at this point but didn’t, we got seated at around 7.30 and only because I suggested they move a table as a table for 2 were sat at a table for 4 of 2 tables pushed together. We were meant to be table of 3 but my mum was unwell and it’s a good job because she wouldn’t have fit at the table lol. We were then left with no offer of a menu, and ended up getting our own cutlery. In the end we were given one menu to share between us.. and the other table that came in at the same time as us also had to share our menu. When someone finally came to take our order we had been there near on an hour. During the experience I received the wrong drink, the wrong curry and one poppadom between 2 of us.. we had to ask for the other one. I do want to stress that the food is absolutely wonderful however the whole ordeal left me stressed when it was meant to be a relaxing evening. We did voice our concerns and I didn’t accept the offer to change my curry as we had already waited far too long and it was getting late but I was incredibly disappointed. We also turned down a free drink because this wasn’t offered until the very end and after 15/20 minutes of waiting for the card machine to work and to be honest we were ready to leave a long time before that so didn’t want to stay. Also I’m not sure if they have a dessert menu as this was never offered… The 2 women next to us had an even worse experience. I had to ask for their poppadoms for them and when their food eventually came to the table they had their starters and mains arrive together with no plates or cutlery. Once the busy period died down another table of around 6 men joined and they got their food before them! The excuse given at the time was “it was extremely busy” and it turned out they had given the tables away to walk ins. This to me is an unacceptable excuse and the only reason we stayed was to give it a chance and it was too late notice to book somewhere else. The experience we had means we won’t be returning for food which is a great shame because it is delicious and it’s one’s of our locals. I am only sharing my experience because the pub is deleting comments on social media and I think it’s only fair people are able to see a true reflection of the pub and are not tricked in to thinking this is a 10/10 restaurant/pub because it’s far from it (I really didn’t want that to be my opinion but I have to be honest)"

"After hearing so many good reviews from friends and family about this place I was really excited to go with a good friend for a catch up. Regret to say I was so bitterly disappointed. We sat and the restaurant was full at 7pm when we arrived. Our server asked about our drinks quite quickly and we hadn't even had a chance to look at the menu. It then took a further 10 minutes before our order for drinks was taken. Our food order was taken quickly after that and came out about 10 minutes after ordering. I found it really odd that the pasta I ordered only had four bits of pasta in it, but it was a really nice dish. After that Is when it started to get a bit uncomfortable. It was very clear they were busy and so were really really pushy about getting us to finish. My friend hadn't even put his fork down before the server took his plate from him. We laughed it off and tried to ignore it but it happened again with the bread, taken half finished and we hadn't even had half of the olives we ordered before they were taken away without him asking if we had finished with them. I wouldn't have minded if we had been there for hours but it was 8pm by this point and we had our table at 7pm. It had barely been an hour before what we felt like we were pushed out the door. The bill was given without us asking for it before we had finished our wine (still having half a bottle and two full glasses) and then the card machine was brought over again without us giving any indication that we were ready. I would understand if they had another reservation after us but if that was the case it would have been good to know, or we wouldn't have booked there if this was how we were going to be treated. We then went out for drinks elsewhere and something to eat as the portions were laughably small for the price. Don't think I would return again. Such a shame for a place with a very good reputation."

"We booked for 7pm and the menu was given at 7.15. We were told six items on the menu were not available. We got our starters at 8.00, which were all so salty. We then waited ages and watched as two tables that arrived after us, were served their mains. We didn 't get served our mains until 9:00. After waiting two hours for food, the chips were cold, and a lot of them were hard in the middle. Three of us ordered fajitas, the fajita that came was build your own, there was no salad and almost no meat (just onion and peppers) and it was more of a casserole. None of us ate many of the chips and the fajitas weren 't really touched. When they came to ask how the food was, we told them this and were advised they 'd take the drinks off the bill. We had already paid over £50 in drinks at the bar, there were only 2 drinks on the bill. When she brought the bill over, the drinks were still on it. We complained again and said that we weren 't happy to pay for the fajitas, we waited 2 hours and it was awful. She refused to take any of the fajitas off because the last time she did that she got 'bollucked ', so not sure if this is a regular occurance. They took the two drinks and the onion rings off the bill, removing £14 total and that was it. We asked for a refund on the drinks we had already paid for and she said she doesnt know how to do a refund. They offered a voucher it was laughable. Disgusted, we almost walked out of the pub waiting for the food, and was definitely not worth the wait. We will never be returning and will be advising other people not to go either. It 's a shame because we used to go to this pub quite often and it used to be nice. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1"

"I can't recommend The Star Inn as a location and it's brilliant staff enough! We chose to stay here for our recent wedding. We booked the day before for myself and my bridal party and then the night of the wedding. We also booked a breakfast for the wedding party on the morning after the wedding. We met The Star Inn at the wedding fayre for Brooksby Hall and they offered the best price around but never pressured us to buy a certain amount of rooms like other hotels. From the minute we booked which was a year before the wedding they treat us like royalty. When we arrived to pay a couple month before the wedding the staff were so kind and helpful it really felt like we were staying with friends. When everything is so stressful organising a wedding you simply must pick to stay here because they will look after you so well. The bridal suite (Seagrave Suite was perfect for getting ready in the morning. Ample space for my makeup artist and hairdresser as well as my three bridesmaids. There was room for the dresses to hang too. While we got ready the adorable housekeeper came with fresh towels water and biscuits but her energy was perfect too as she was as excited as me for the wedding! The bed was so comfortable, clean and beautifully presented with fancy throw pillows. The bathroom has a mirror that lights up (perfect for getting ready! as well as a rain shower, normal shower, and bath tub which made the perfect night before pamper session. There was parking outside enough for everybody although some on the street slightly away from the hotel and pub. It was also great to have photos in the morning on the green outside. The food is delicious here with brilliant kitchen staff. The bartenders are also friendly helpful and chatty. If it isn't obvious already this is the best hotel and pub in the local area and the perfect wedding stay. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you so much everybody who looked after me and more importantly my wonderful family."
