user reviews of the Star, Tideswell

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Proper locals pubs - tucked away, so the tourist without google maps can't find it.

An odd triangular bar serving three rooms. Meant the barman was never looking for the right way for the thirsty and too polite stranger to be served :-)

Can't remember what ales were on but they were not enticing enough to make me not have a stella.

OK.

The pub has had a recent-ish facelift inside and out by the looks of it. Cream and pale green give it a fresh and contemporary feel. The bar is on three sides, each with it`s own area, one is the saloon bar, another for the lounge, and one for a couple of tables and a separate dining room, which had a party of ten. This coupled with a no-show from a staff member meant that the landlord and the chef were running about a bit. Luckily we ordered before the kitchen closed at 8. The meals were very good, hot,tasty, reasonably priced. l thought that they might abandon the advertised Thursday Night quiz , but no, by ten the pub had filled up and we were away. The three of us finished a creditable third, 1 point behind a table of five, and five behind the winners, who I suspect might have had "hand-held help". Nevertheless, it was a great atmosphere and you should definitely give it a visit, the regulars are friendly and the beer good (Hobgoblin, and Jenning`s Cumberland Ale which slipped down nicely .

Very basic, but OK. Staff & locals pleasant & welcoming to a small group of complete strangers!

An unpretentious village local offering reasonable food and 3 real ales. Friendly service.

A very obviously local pub, but welcoming nonetheless. Beer was good, food was reasonable.

Smashing pub and the finest in Tideswell. The beer is very well kept, Marstons Bitter and Old Hooky were both going down very nicely. The landlord and landlady run a pub to be proud of.

Decent but unexceptional local in fantastic village; Marstons OK but a bit warm. Opens at 3pm most days (not all day).

Visited it last month [July 2005].
Found it very civilised.
Good bitter for the missus, and cider for me.
Tideswell is such a gorgeous village, too.

Nice pub. Used to be a lot better, but it's okay. Possibly not the best pub in Tideswell any more.

Small local, family run pub serving food and good beer in a back street in one of the prettiest villages in the Peak District.
