A few minutes later when we went to order food, we were told that they were not taking any more food orders for approx 15 mins due to... More

The service was fantastic, very friendly staff, nice table and setting. The food was all home made and delicious. The portion size... More

However, this weekend we had a four year old in tow and we ate at the North Star in the early evening (5pm) on Saturday. The food was excellent as usual (allbeit... More

We visited the North Star yesterday for lunch and I was really impressed with this lovely pub/restaurant. As we entered we were warmly welcomed and showed to a table. The pub decor is quirky yet stylish and the pub is set out well so it feels spacious. Our waiter was really friendly and helped us with our choices. All the... More

On Tuesday 30th , my birthday , I read the reviews , saw the images and menus and decided to give it a try. Despite it being a tuesday , there were enough people there to give the... More

...we made the mistake of going on the open mic night. Open mic nights are fine, but not when I'm eating please. The food was nice, my friends had the chilli and I had a burger with added gorgonzola (nice, makes a change from cheddar). The food was nice - well turned out pub grub and we all enjoyed it.... More
