    Service was good, Beef a bit thin and tasteless and I was not able to swap cabbage for cauliflower cheese even tho this was on the menu? Some veggies were almost raw.

    The food was excellent however the service was quite poor. We asked for water for the table 4 times to two different staff, finally it arrived. The starters and main were very good but waiting for the dessert took around 20 minutes just to order. The pub by this time was pretty empty. It also appeared as though there was a change of staff around 8pm which seemed to affect the service.

    Seeing how busy they were I was surprised by how promptly the food service was. Also there was a very good attention to detail. Overall a very good experience especially as it seemed to be the busiest time of the day.

    We really enjoyed our meal at the Star on Thursday lunchtime. Whilst I was there, I gave my business card to the waitress to pass onto the owner. I represent Creation Office - based in Uttoxeter and we would be really interested in helping with any refurbishments at either of your venues. We have our own in-house team of fitters and specialise in commercial fitouts and refurbishments, including Cat A & B projects, washroom upgrades, partitioning and ceilings. We’re competitive on price and provide detailed design visuals of any space, along with a full breakdown of costs, so you know exactly what to expect. We have worked alongside companies like Autoglass, NEC Group, and Siemens for years who continually provide us with more work. If any of the above interests you please give me a call and we can discuss futher. Thank you, Georgi Crutchley
