The Star Inn - Basingstoke and Deane

We experienced long waits in between courses and at the start for placing our orders. The food was mediocre overall, with my fish and chips being bland. Our shared Camembert appetizer lacked enough bread to accompany the cheese, leaving half of it uneaten. However, my friend enjoyed the lamb dish they ordered.

We have frequented this pub several times without any issues, but our most recent visit was not as smooth. There was a delay in receiving our orders, and when our table of 7 received our starters, two were missing. We had to track down our server to rectify the error. Some of the main courses also took a while to arrive, and two of the steaks appeared overcooked. Our waiter was apologetic and the management comped the late starters. Despite the disappointing evening at The Star, we still plan to return as it is a convenient meeting spot for us and our friends, and we have never had a bad meal there before. Hopefully, this was just a one-off experience.

The food and service at this restaurant were great. The establishment is quite spacious and was bustling with customers, so it could get a bit noisy. Overall, it was a pleasant evening.

Very nice, very relaxed atmosphere, would visit again safely

We have been coming here for the past 4 years or so.
