Best Lunch Restaurants in Shirley

We've been to the star on a few occasions and it's always been lovely. It's a gorgeous characterful building, usually with a cosy fire going. The staff are friendly and attentive. There's a wide choice of beers and spirits available and the cocktails are great. The food is delicious and for me one of the main things I love is how locally sourced the produce is.

Another fantastic experience at the Duncombe, well prepared food from the market menu and, as ever, bullet proof service. If they sold season tickets we've have one!

Having booked for a special occasion and requested a table for four with "panoramic view" of the river we were disappointed to get a table in the corner next to patio doors which, on a very cold day, was used by smokers to go out for a cigarette until we complained about it when a member of staff locked it. The table position meant that two of our party had views of the river while the other two had their backs to the window (patio doors). The table along from ours was a table for two and had the largest window in the place. It would have taken little initiative on the part of the manager to have organised the tables slightly differently to accommodate our request for panoramic views for the whole party. On the plus side, the food was excellent, as was the service of the serving staff.

the food was amazing and about the prices you'd expect for eating out, our server was Tom and he was amazing! very attentive and friendly 😊

Food and drink were great, it was just ashame the waiter was abrupt.
