Situated right on the university campus, The Star is a favourite of students looking for a quick bite or a cheap-and-cheerful night out.
I used to come here with mates as a student and I remember a friendly, exciting atmosphere on nights out. I had especially good nights when fancy dress or discos were set up here.
As for the daytime it has a varied selection of food and drinks. The menu features wraps, burgers, jacket potatoes, other pub favourites like Sunday carvery not to mention the local favourite the mighty parmo. Recently I had the Mexican burger and chips but there is one thing I have to recommend you try.
The Star does good parmos, great chips and their garlic sauce is d i v i n e. Seriously not sure what they do to it but it’s probably my favourite food spot garlic of all time.
The Star is open Monday to Thursday 9am to 7:30pm whilst Fridays are 9-5. Saturday’s are 10-5pm and Sundays are 12:00-4:00pm.
Go give them a try! (seriously- order the garlic)
The place is a basic Brittish pub with beer and pub food. It's located in the university grounds so I expect it to be packed with students when the semester is on.
Servings are big and hearty. You order and pay at the bar so no unnecessary waiting for the bill. Very casual.
Had Sunday dinner here, food was good but very busy and struggled to get a table. Dinner was carvery style with a choice of four meats and a selection of vegetables and as many roasties as you want just a shame no parsnips!
