Seven Stars, Marsh Baldonback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Bought by the local community a few years back after another closure and subsequently extended to the rear to create a dining area thereby freeing space up for drinkers in the bar area. A choice of upto four ales available consisting of London Pride and three changing locales although only two on my visit being Shotover Prospect and Amwell Springs (a new brewery) Easy Geez. I was with two friends and we each bought a round, the first two being served by a young barman, and every one was a short measure and only topped up by request. The third round was served by the landlord and again every one was short. He was not amused when I asked for top-ups but reluctantly conceded when I told him about the previous short measures and as I was walking away from the bar area he handed me a half-pint to share out to compensate. I hadn't told him that the previous drinks had been topped up but then he hadn't asked either.
The pub itself is in a lovely rural situation, I'm told the food is good and the quality of the beer was fine. Some staff training wouldn't go amiss.

Great pub now that Sean has taken over. The food is now really good and very reasonable. Great village pub atmosphere, open fire, easy parking. There are guest beers and Sean looks after the beer well.
Great experience.

Went here for sunday lunch in Jan07, and were impressed.
We've been several times before, usually at the weekend, and it was ok though not brilliant. However the place seems to have been done up (but still has settles, leather sofas etc round the fire) while food was very good & staff friendly.

Thought we would go back after a couple of years af leaving the area, some of the websites say it has a childrens play area so though it would be ok for our 10 year old, however bitterly dissapointed by the lack of atmosphere and no childrens area, very quiet, not many people in. Not sure of the opening hours, one of the locals said they varied. Very helpful! Will not be going back.
