Just had another amazing dining experience in this little known (but I predict not for long!) pub/restaurant, tucked away in horse country not far from Wantage. Group of 8, all delighted with their choices and we all agreed there was nothing on the menu that we wouldn't have ordered. Menu was fresh and inventive and its great to find somewhere... More

Stayed for two nights over the bank holiday weekend and was really pleased we chose to stay at the Star Inn. We definitely make life easy for the team, phoning up the morning we were due to arrive asking for a table for 10 for dinner! They were very accommodating and all was in place, only for us to then...

The Star Inn has two halves. One half is a very competent restaurant serving simple dishes made from decent quality ingredients. Good wine list. The service is pretty dopey in parts but means well. It's airy and spacious. The other half is a deeply disappointing dormitory wing with featureless bland rooms that let the side down. The bathroom looks like... More

Came for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent - my duck leg confit starter was scrumptious and my partner's monkfish main was sooo good! I had the bread and butter pudding with prune and armagnac - it was fabulous. They were very busy on the night we were there, both in the restaurant and the bar. I think the... More

What a treat to go to a really lovely elegant chic pub with fabulous food in a beautiful village and welcoming staff. Whats not to like!! Having lived in the area all my life this is a real gem and hope it does really well.

This is a gastronomic haven in a cliche of an Oxfordshire village: boorish attention-seeking hunting types striding in for a pint (of San Miguel - how very unBritish!) and gentle diners - families and couples - tucking into yummy food. OK, so the five pound garlic and potato soup came tepid, but got a very warm reception when resent from... More

I have now been to the Star in Sparsholt quite a few times since it has opened. It is far from what it was like before! Once you find somewhere good - I suppose you tend to keep going back. The cleanliness of the pub is inviting, a soft country / cleansed feel to the place. The staffs are very... More

Arrived on a Friday and stayed till Monday and found both Caron & Ian very warming & friendly with a great atmosphere inside the Pub and also found the staff very professional in their work and the food was out of this world. Currently updating The accommodation in The Barn but found it adequate for our use. Looking forward to... More

I have been numerous times now and will continue to do so. Very glad this pub has opened locally as good food is hard to find in the area. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was excellent with great choices on the menu and all immaculately presented accompanied by a wonderful wine list. Their Irish Coffees are pretty delicious... More
