Diagonally opposite an unpromising strip of kebab joints and loitering hoodies, this relaxing pub attracts many an ale aficionado and dog-walker. Along one side of a homely pub space filled with cosy, upholstered settees and bare brick, a bar counter manned by an amiable Frenchman features taps of Timothy Taylor Landlord and Sambrook’s Wandle, as well as San Miguel and Peroni lagers.

Selections from the huge board of wines start at a little under £4 a glass. Below the wine board, a door leads to steep steps and a small square of gravel-surfaced back garden; the logs in the hallway come into use on wintry afternoons, when the fat candles flicker on the sturdy wooden tables.

The likes of rib-eye steak and whole baked bream might feature on the changing food menu; many, though, are happy to share a pork pie or some snacking salami with their four-legged companions at their feet, a pleasure strictly forbidden to the house dog. Occasional unplugged entertainment encourages lingering.

We just went to this place for lunch and it was disappointing. I had the mushroom penne which arrived really overcooked and smothered in cheese (which was not included in the description of the dish on the menu). The waitress had got my friend's dessert order wrong and the service was generally not very good, with them adding an extra dessert onto our bill by mistake. The only saving grace was the RubyViolet ice cream which was very nice.

Agree with the last review. The last management was really poor. The new team is terrific. Food is much improved, service is excellent and some excellent beets now. Deserves to succeed. We shall certainly go again

The Star was taken over by new management two months ago and it's really changed for the better. The decor has been rethought, the space kept large and spacious and there's even a secret garden, which was news to me. So happy to finally have a decent local!

This place is a rip off. When ever I walk past it's dead and the other night I found out why, the staff are rude and theyre cheeky enough to charge for tap water - because it's though the coke tap thing. Never going back.
