Close to Plumstead Common, this friendly pub is an uphill climb from the town centre. It remains one of London's Real Heritage Pubs, however, the refurbishment of 2019 a rare screen, barely over head height, that split the two bars fronting Jago Close was sadly removed..The saloon bar on the left is contemporary with its inter-war rebuilding and remains largely as it was. In bygone days, when Woolwich Arsenal played its football matches on the common, the team used the Star as its changing room. Pizza based food menu has been introduced. There are a couple of cask ales available along with good range of keg beers from local breweries.
