Booked for a large group on a Saturday afternoon. Everything was perfect, great beer, good food and wonderful staff. Thank you! 🙏🏼
Do not come here for the Sunday roast. Utterly overpriced (£21) for an overcooked piece of beef. Potatoes were large and undercooked and the carrots were simply sliced down the middle and roasted for a bit. Finished off with some chopped cabbage which must have been steamed for a few minutes as it too was undercooked. A dash of gravy, leaving the whole mess sadly dry, meant that this was one of the worst roasts I’ve ever had. Oh and it was served on a cold plate and was barely warm. Terrible.
The Star is one of my locals. It's a great little pub right next to the Hackney Downs Park. Always had good service here, bar staff are polite and a good chat. Manager/owner seems to have a good time, always happy to say hi to patrons. There is plenty of seating outside and I've often found myself there a bit before 3pm waiting for the pub to open because it's a good spot to sit and have a pint of an afternoon. Venue upstairs is a great spot, I attended for a stand-up comedy show. Very intimate little setting, well set-up. I had a great time there. Cheesy fries go pretty well. Burgers are good quality, nothing to complain about, but for an additional 4.5 quid for chips I would personally knock a quid off the burger. Overall, a good, friendly local, but without the grunginess you can get from other locals.
I've been to the Star a handful of times over the years, happy to say it's consistently been a good atmosphere. We went for a comedy night held on a Thursday, great small venue room upstairs which was good for an intimate gig. I didn't have food there, so can't comment on that
Outside looks much better than inside as the inside looks a little bit run down. Staff was nice although on their phones quite a lot, quick, efficient and polite when not on phone.
