This pub appears to be closed again. The pub sign has gone and the closure looks permanent this time.

Recently re-opened after a brief period of closure, The Star is an uninspiring Wadworth house on the main thoroughfare through the leafy village of Waltham St Lawrence. That said, my pint of Henry’s IPA was in fine fettle, the barmaid was particularly attentive, and like most of the village pubs in this area it was busy on the weeknight I visited which is always an encouragement in this era of continuous pub closure.

Visited yesterday lunchtime and enjoyed a nice pint and good sunday lunch.

Very pleasant, friendly pub in the Berkshire countryside. Fine pints of Henry's IPA and Bishop's Tipple alongside a fairly standard, yet tasty and well-priced Sunday lunch.
|
Swung by for a pint last Sunday lunchtime - bit on the pricy side but I guess that's due to the location. A few quirky characters in there but no knuckledraggers.
|
Waddies pub, Henry's IPA, Bishops Tipple, JCB and 6X, fairly busy on the Saturday afternoon I went. Couple of dogs in the bar, probably belong to the pub, a few local barflies to complete the picture. Nice English pub worth a visit.

This place has a job on its hands to compete/give a viable alternative to the superlative Bell up the road but to be fair the new guv'nor is doing a good job so far, following on from a good (if unspectacular) previous incumbent who won the much coveted 'Best Pub Pizza' from the local CAMRA branch a couple of years back.
It's a Wadworth tied house, usually there's 6X, Henry's IPA and Bishop's Tipple to be had. Pint Sized Mild has been recently introduced and has proved popular enough to see off the keg Bass mild despite being few pence more expensive.
Food is served and the place is clean and tidy with a decent garden area. The new landlord is a good host and takes care of his beer - these days that's a rare combination in a tied house. The only major downside is a long-standing gripe with the disabled loo - which is inaccessible for many of those who need it as it's either up two steps in the pub or through the kittylitter via the garden. What sort of wally sanctioned that?
If you're at the Bell it's well worth a short journey over here for pint, wheelchairs and bladders permitting.

Much Improved since the new tenants took over. Good atmosphere and regular live bands. Food is good for value. Well worth a try.

Friendly roadside pub on the edge of the village. They served an excellent pint of Henry's IPA for only �2 when I visited.
