The Star Inn, Woodstock

Visit: 13th April 10

We needed a place for an early evening dinner for 2 children, a teenager & 3 adults - we found The Star in Woodstock somewhat by chance!

The layout of the Pub is fantastic for people who just want quick beer near the bar, or like us, who needed seating for 6. The tables were well spaced plus there was also a really secluded alcove, giving a private feel. There was a good range of beers on the evening we went with at least three cask ales plus lagers. We had both the Bombardier & Directors which were well kept and served in branded glasses. A personal preference is to not use the plastic �sparklers� on the end of swan necks that give the beer a creamy head. Great to see The Swan doesn�t use these so you have a beer as the brewer intended! House red was also a great quality.

There was a good range of food on the menu as well as a children�s choice and �specials� board. The quality and portion sizes of all the choices we made were not disappointing in any way.

One final real asset to the pub were the staff, who were attentive, friendly and extremely accommodating.

If you are in Woodstock this is definitely a pub to try.
