Dating from the early 19th century the pub is a small, attractively slate-hung pub. On Wednesday night customers bring their vinyl records along, Thursday night is open mic night for budding entertainers and on Saturday there is either a live band or a DJ. In the corner to the left of the bar are board games and books. You may bring your own food, or have it delivered, but plates and cutlery are not supplied. The tables on the pavement outside catch the evening sun and give a good view of the passing traffic and there are umbrellas and heaters outside. The Star was a Friary Meux pub until its sale to Greene King in 1990 and the beers will be supplied by Greene King. Dogs are welcome, there are biscuits and a bowl, and free Wi-Fi is available.
