The Sparsholt

I stayed at the Star inn with my wife for 2 nights, as soon as we arrived the staff welcomed us as if we were family. The first evening we ate at the Star and had a lovely meal served by Hew, who was friendly and attentive. I ate the Duck terrine, followed by the slow cooked beef cheek with horseradish mash, it was lovely. My wife had Roasted beetroot with butternut squash and goats cheese mousse, followed by Sea bass, she said it was lovely. The sweets looked amazing but I honestly couldn’t fit one in, and I enjoy my food. Both mornings of our stay we had breakfast, Served by the lovely Ness, who nothing was too much trouble for, also the Chef Ewan came out and checked we enjoyed our breakfast. This couple of days was a lovely treat, would we return to The Star? absolutely!. Thank you to all the staff at The Star for making us feel so welcome.

Outstanding food and beautiful presentation with no faults at all on that side! Service by no means awful but let down in part by small gestures, no offering more drinks when clearing empty glasses… also lacking a friendly vibe. Quick meal turnaround which is great for some BUT most parties could do with 10 minutes between courses, otherwise it feels very rushed and like we were just there to eat as quickly as possible and leave.

We had a wonderful stay at the Star Inn! The room was very clean and cozy and a yummy breakfast. The service in the restaurant was brilliant, particularly Nes who was very attentive and great at providing recommendations. The food was excellent quality and decent portions! Would highly recommend and would love to come back.

Mind blowing. Attentive service. Incredible food. Party of 3 wanted to share one of the starters as it looked too good to pass up but we didn’t want to spoil our main. The kitchen thoughtfully distributed it across three separate plates to avoid dividing across a table and spoiling the fine dining atmosphere. Amazing flavours and well cooked, recommended.
