Chef & Brewer (Greene King) pub/restaurant that is close to the M1. IPA & Abbot were the only real ales. On my Saturday visit, most people were in for the food. I was one of only two drinkers. Families are welcomed. But, drinks are very expensive. This was a poor start to a tour of Bedfordshire hostelries.

Great food here, and reasonable choice of beer. It's a cut above most Chef & Brewer pubs I've been to, but it still has more of a restaurant than a pub feel. As it's the only pub in the village, this may change during evening or the weekends.

This is BITE not TACITE !

Comment on Star at Chalton Bedfordshire
I go to the quiz at the Star with friends every month and we always enjoy our meals, the staff are very friendly and the atmosphere good. This week we found that Costa had taken over the as the provider of coffee and tea, so where as before the coffee came at about �2.00 with a biscuit, it now was �2.40 (no biscuit) and tea was �2.20! It was served in those large thick cups so the tea goes cold rapidly. Why has this happened?
We felt this was expensive so will wait until we get home for our tea and coffee next time.

Went for lunch yesterday - hadn't been there for years. Surroundings drab, no ambiance at all. Soup of the day was different to that prmoised, chosen main dish was 'off'. Substitute chicken dish was luke warm, dried out and tough. Very disappointing and will not be returning.

visited monday night, was very quiet. the cider was fine as was the staropraman, if a little expensive. menu was quite extensive (could do with stating all the items on the dishes!), although the steaks are a little on the small side in my opinion. had a superb 'haddock rarebit' started from the specials menu, and beef and ale pie from the main menu was good, though the chips left a little to be desired. all-in-all a good experience.

You got food poisoning there and you still go back?
Are you nuts or something?

Food can be very Formulaic. The manu is so long the freezers must be very big. Beer selection OK but service can be slow - if you're not eaten. Usually full of Lutonians out for a classy rural meal.

Have been using this pub for years and will really miss it when I move away soon. The Managers Noel & Suzanne are friendly as is their daughter who helps out as a waitress. The food we have had has always been great and the beers and wines on offer first class. We have always had great service with a smile. The Chef & Brewer menu is always good and we often use a pub in Harpenden which has the same good menu.

This is my favourite local pub, full of charm and character. However since getting food poisoning there I only go there to sup on a couple of drinks!

This pub is a Chef and Brewer pub currently owned by the Spirit Group, but previously owned by Scottish & Newcastle Breweries. There is a car park on site for approximately 40 vehicles. A fairly small beer garden to the rear of the pub is nice to sit out in the summer days. There are also some tables on a small patio at the front of the pub. Managers Noel and Suzanne Allen are very nice and, being a Chef & Brewer, the food is always of a very high standard. I woulkd reccomend a visit to The Star in the small village of Chalton to anybody.
