The Star Inn 1744 Restaurant in Charnwood

Beautiful to stay in for the night before the wedding. Very accommodating and polite. Just kept getting lost! Room was lovely.

I can't recommend The Star Inn as a location and it's brilliant staff enough! We chose to stay here for our recent wedding. We booked the day before for myself and my bridal party and then the night of the wedding. We also booked a breakfast for the wedding party on the morning after the wedding. We met The Star Inn at the wedding fayre for Brooksby Hall and they offered the best price around but never pressured us to buy a certain amount of rooms like other hotels. From the minute we booked which was a year before the wedding they treat us like royalty. When we arrived to pay a couple month before the wedding the staff were so kind and helpful it really felt like we were staying with friends. When everything is so stressful organising a wedding you simply must pick to stay here because they will look after you so well. The bridal suite (Seagrave Suite) was perfect for getting ready in the morning. Ample space for my makeup artist and hairdresser as well as my three bridesmaids. There was room for the dresses to hang too. While we got ready the adorable housekeeper came with fresh towels water and biscuits but her energy was perfect too as she was as excited as me for the wedding! The bed was so comfortable, clean and beautifully presented with fancy throw pillows. The bathroom has a mirror that lights up (perfect for getting ready!) as well as a rain shower, normal shower, and bath tub which made the perfect night before pamper session. There was parking outside enough for everybody although some on the street slightly away from the hotel and pub. It was also great to have photos in the morning on the green outside. The food is delicious here with brilliant kitchen staff. The bartenders are also friendly helpful and chatty. If it isn't obvious already this is the best hotel and pub in the local area and the perfect wedding stay. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you so much everybody who looked after me and more importantly my wonderful family.

Friendly family run pub with rooms. Fantastic continental breakfast included in room rate. Good outdoor space.

From the real ale selection (especially on a Monday) to the food, staff and furnishings, this inn was a revelation. I will be including it in my itinerary of dining pubs. Sheer class.

Ramblers Anonymous. We are a group of approx seven walkers who meet up about once a month to do a ramble around Leicestershire.we always start and finish at a pub ,this Sunday was a stroll around Thrussington and lunch at the Star.The meal was disappointing with reheated vegetables and inedible roast potatoes.very disappointing.

Highly recommend, stayed here 3 nights. Staff were friendly, food was good, breakfast times flexible to suit our needs. Locals were all friendly and great atmosphere.

Unfortunately its gone down hill. The service was slow and disappointing and worse than that, that half the menu was unavailable (table booked for Friday 8pm) when the food eventually arrived it was cold and underwhelming. A lovely pub I really enjoyed, what went wrong?

A disappointing evening, lovely staff and good service. But for a Saturday night there were so many dishes not available on the main course menu. Only 3 desserts on the menu and no crumble of the day so only a choice of 2 desserts. We won't be going back, definitely gone down hill from our last visit.

Decent feel to the place. A keenness to serve and very comfortable. Worth a visit.

Very good food and friendly service. Very tastefully decorated too. Recommend.

Excellent menu for the GF community and beyond – we all really enjoyed the fish and chips. Will be back!

Brilliant food, I had the ribeye steak, which was very tasty and my husband had the full rack of baby ribs, everything that came to the table was hot. Will certainly return. I was particularly impressed with the knowledge of the staff about the menu. A young lad served us, sorry don’t know his name, he was cheerful and helpful. We will return.

I felt sorry for the 2 members of staff the restaurant and bar was busy but no sign of management to help. We were there for 3 hours for 2 course dinner we ordered dessert but after 30 min wait decided not to bother the service was just so slow

We booked this pub for lunch at the last minute as we wanted a country pub between Leicester and Nottingham rather than a branded chain in town. Outstanding pub lunch, generous portions and really friendly (and funny) bar staff. We will be back!

Stayed one night with breakfast and had dinner. Breakfast was awful if you wanted cooked breakfast it was extra. Village and room cant fault but the service in restaurant was the wirst ive ever had i ordered chefs speciality sausage and mash and it was tasteless gravy was like dish water and im not a fussy eater everything was done on the cheap which really lets the place down as area is nice and rooms but would avoid eating their it really was bad

Lovely village pub, friendly staff and nice atmosphere........great gin selection. Will return again for longer when next in the area

We really fancied a nice Sunday lunch and after having had a good meal here previously, decided to go back. We walked in via the pub where there were a handful of customers and 2 bar staff chatting to them. No-one acknowledged us so we went up to the restaurant. There were no staff evident in the restaurant either so we hovered for a bit before I went in to a back room and found someone. She said that someone in the bar should've greeted us and we explained that they were chatting to customers so we went up to find our table. Once sat down, the service was good although we waited more than 20 minutes for our food to be served. Only 2 other tables were being used in the restaurant. When the food arrived, it was poor. Overcooked Yorkshire puddings that broke off like a crisp when you tried to cut them. a quarter of my plate filled with baby carrots which were so hard and undercooked that we couldn't stick our forks in to them. Tasteless roast potatoes, average roast beef and chicken. Oh dear. So disappointing. As a consequence, we abandoned any plans to have a dessert and will probably not be going back. Not sure why it was so bad - really felt as though the Chef wasn't around or couldn't be bothered - we felt like a nuisance.

We’ve been to the star inn twice now & on our second visit decided to have lunch. The first visit was one of our many visits to new pubs , since our move upto Leicestershire & we just had a drink. The lunch we had was excellent & reasonably priced. There was an excellent choice on the menu & a fantastic outdoor seating area. The choice of drinks is wide and varied but for me the bass was definitely a winner. Add to that warm friendly staff & we’ve found another excellent pub

Sorry to say this fell well below expectations based on previous visits. To be fair the staff were very good. The menu has changed and almost everything apart from the desserts was bland, limp and tasteless. This we were surprised at and it all appeared prepackaged. We were sold the prawn appetizer was hot and spicy, well someone got that wrong. The pate was hard to find under a thick layer of fat and was well below pate previously served here. Main dishes looked unappetizing, meats were dry and over cooked, weirdest Yorkshire puddings ever served and vegetables just horrible. Desserts were very good and made a Sterling effort to recover the meals. May be some time before we return which is a sad thing to say.

Many things were very good; the decor, the amiable staff, the tasty starters but a couple of things let it down. Although it was Mothering Sunday we managed to get a last minute booking. Initially we had a very good experience with attentive, friendly staff. However, after very good starters our table wasn’t cleared until they brought our mains, which is never good. Also most of the accompanying veg were practically raw (broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots) and all of us left half a plate of veg. When staff cleared the plates they asked if everything had been ok and we told them yes, apart from the veg which needed much more cooking. Strangely the sprouts and cauliflower cheese we ordered as extras were verging on being over cooked but at least they were edible. Small tweaks and we’d definitely go back but left a little disappointed.

Had an amazing Sunday roast today at The Star. Food was amazing, so tasty and cooked to perfection. Followed by a cheese board, again really lovely and extremely good value for money. Would highly recommend eating her. Good food & good service. Looking forward to next time we eat there.

We decided to try somewhere different as a spur of the moment, ( good thing they serve food until 6pm on a sunday) we were very impressed with the food served it had plenty of flavour and cooked to your own preferences would definitely recommend and visit again

Lovely afternoon spent being lazy. Amazing food. All tasty and very fresh. Great tea and coffee too. Excellent staff and service and no rush. Thanks

My wife and myself chose the Star Inn 1774 because my daughter had recommended it. She and her husband have recently moved to the village. We arrived about 4 pm on Friday 21st Oct. We was given a friendly warm welcomed, and shown to our room. Our room was lovely, it overlooked the green. The room was cosy and was very clean. We had tea making facilities in the room with a excellent choice of hot drinks and biscuits, which was excellent. We booked a table in the restaurant for 4 adults 2 children plus one highchair. We went down to the bar for a drink before dinner. The bar was busy and friendly and a added bonus was it was happy hour at the bar. The restaurant was lovely, and the table was in a lovely spot. I will not go into detail about our food because i will run out of space, but believe me the food was outstanding big portions including the apple and raspberry crumble which i had to force down because the main meal filled me up. I must not forget the full English breakfast i had the next day...delicious. All the staff were fantastic,the service great. we highly recommend The Star Inn 1774.

It was such a shame! The Star has always been a place that people rave about, and what amazing good quality food it is. We had booked for a meal with friends that we don't get to see often without our children around, and we were really looking forward to it! It started off well, we arrived early, so decided to have a drink in the bar, great service, couldn't fault it. Informed the team at the bar of the name and time of booking reservation. We were approached after a prompt to the bar staff with menus and an option to sit in the restaurant or bar, we opted to stay by the bar as we were happy and cosy where we were. This is where things started to go downhill. We had ordered some bread and olives to have before our starters arrived, however, our starters arrived, and once we were midway through the starters, the olives and bread arrived. Our main courses arrived shortly after- however our starter and olive/breadboard had not been cleared. The waiter told us "Sorry, people sitting in the bar are forgotten about", which didn't got down to well. So our mains were took back to the kitchen and the plates cleared and mains brought back out. We then had to wait a further 10 minutes for cutlery to go with our mains, within our order 2 steaks had been ordered, and there wasn't even an offering of a steak knife! Another main arrived and one of our party was without a main, we all waited to start as the waitress told us the other main was on the way. It got to 15 minutes and it there was no sign of the other main meal. We asked someone, and they went to check with the chef. It was in fact that the waitress who originally took our order, she did not write down x2 on one of the mains that was the same, resulting in only 3 mains being written down. Another 25 minutes went passed before the final main was served to the table, where at that point two of the parties plates has been cleared and the other party still waiting to ensure they ate with the one whos dinner was missing. In the time waiting, we asked to order some more drinks, three of which arrived, but the water that was asked for- did not, we had to ask 5 times before the water came. Once the main courses had finally finished, the rest for the plates were cleared and there was no offering of a dessert/coffee/tea etc. We were only given two apologies, with only the excuse of the waitress was in training and did not know she had made the mistake. When we asked for the bill, this also took around half an hour to come, and only the one meal taken off as a gesture of good will... oh and they charged us for extra drinks we did not have. We paid the bill and made a quick exit, and we wont be returning. It is such a shame. What we were hoping for and what was received, was over priced pub food, in a nicely decorated average pub.

We were really excited to try The Star after not been for many years. It went from bad to worse. Let me list where it went wrong. - Starters arrived okay, although one of the orders wasn’t available - Order bread and olive, these didn’t...

Staying at the Star, we had dinner in the reataurant and breakfast the following morning. Both fantastic. Great service, complimentary bread & olives to start - very nice

We were staying in the hotel. The food was excellent. Great choice and friendly staff. Good wine list.

First time visitors. Arrived early Saturday evening, without a reservation, hoping we could be fitted in (hungry on our way home after a long day out). Busy pub with seemingly lots of locals/families (good sign). Warm welcome and immediately accommodated. Service informal but excellent throughout. Menu choice was good (we had no special requirements). Portions were generous but not overwhelming. Above all, everything was superbly prepared/cooked (prawn, scampi, chicken, pork fillet dishes). Maybe a little pricey but well worth it. A real treat.

I visited the venue a couple of weeks ago for Sunday lunch, after hearing positive reviews from a friend. The exterior and interior decor is very well presented, which gave me hope of a pleasant experience.The pub was not busy but not empty, with roughly 10-12 people in and around the bar area, with plenty of free tables in the restaurant, so I joined the queue for the bar so I could request a table, as I hadn't pre-booked, and order a couple of drinks.After waiting maybe 3-4 minutes for the person in front of me to be served I expected to be served next, this was not the case, we were not served for a further 10 minutes with other people being served before us, some who had entered the venue after us, someone even coming down from the restaurant got served before us.Having worked in the bar industry for a number of years I understand that it can get hectic but I expected at least to be acknowledged by the 4 people who were behind the bar at the time but I wasn't, every single one of them looked me in the eye and ignored me.Once we were finally greeted we were then made to wait a further few minutes while they used the phone to ask if there was a table in the restaurant, which when we were seated had lots of empty tables.On the table was the Sunday menu, which we were told was the only menu on offer yet halfway through our meal the table next to me was served something that wasn't on the Sunday menu. The food itself was very nice I must admit but one of the worst customer service experience I've had for a long time, something I didn't expect from a local established 4 star Inn.

Me and rich come here regular as poss always beautiful food sadly took my Brie off the menu but there are always lovely things to eat here staff brill Sonja always lovely and gets us in as she knows us now can’t wait to eat here again soon as we get time xx

Without doubt, the best Sunday Dinner in the County. The beef was perfect as were the roast potatoes! Really friendly staff too. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and will be returning shortly.

We went for a romantic dinner on a saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Warm welcome and a live piano player creating a great atmosphere. Nice friendly service and delicious food! Great place well worth the drive out.

Been coming here for years. Menu changed and not for the better. Very disappointed, side salad on sandwiches disappeared completely, brie bacon and cranberry sandwich so slathered in sweet cranberry goo it dripped everywhere and tasted only of sweet sauce. Awful.

After hearing good reports we booked Sunday lunch. Sadly we wished we had not, the Trio of fish was cold and no more than 3 mouthfuls & for 15.95 this was to say the very least abysmal. The beef was cold & vegetable portions poor. Would we go back ? A definate NO.

I have reviewed a couple of times before, but after a really enjoyable works Christmas meal (about 13 people), that was well enjoyed by all, wanted to leave another positive review. The Star is a cosy place for drinks and we had a few before being shown to a private room where we could be a little more gregarious, and were then really well looked after by the staff. The food was excellent - all three courses, with my lamb main cooked to perfection.

Slightly disagree with some of the reveiws I've read on here. Found the staff to be polite, friendly and attentive and service was ok. I also agree with the reviews which say it's overpriced. To pay £90 for a couple of burgers, fish and chips a risotto, 4 pints and a couple of wines I think is slightly over priced. Yes we all enjoyed our food but for that much I would have expected to at least have a 2 course meal. Yes the Star Inn is nice the staff are nice the food was nice nothing special but would I go again, not at those prices I am afraid

Very nice pub/restaurant indeed. The decor was modern and comfortable and some interesting lunch choices.

Took Mother last Sunday, after fact we have been on previous visits and enjoyed! But it was very poor this week, service was disjointed and slow! Main meals came then a long wait for the vegetables! Yet lots of staff standing about in the back, why not send the whole meal out at same time by using more staff?? For the price charged £15 for main dish only; I’ve had much better quality for far less! Won’t bother again! Also I was brought a spoon, after ordering the Cheese Board Shame as use to enjoy it!!

This Pub has a good local reputation but unfortunately I was disappointed. Our party was 7 adults so this may explain some of the delay, but the main course took 1 hour from being shown our table, 45 minutes from ordering. The dessert 30 minutes after ordering.

we booked a table at the local pub with a view to having my daughters birthday lunch there, we arrived and were shown to our table, there was only three other tables in the restaurant, we ordered our sunday lunch, this then took 45 mins to come, my husband had the lamb this was like a rosti he said it was ok but nothing special, I had the roast beef and it was disgusting more fat than meat, certainly not what I expected when paying £15.00 per head, the meal was not quality checked by the waitress so when the plates were collected she didn't even question why I hadn't eaten it, I just said to her the meal was shocking, overall the experience was grim and needless to say not booking for my daughters birthday.

Part of quite a large group visiting on a weekday afternoon for lunch. There was a two courses for £10 menu but I ordered from the main lunch menu - the 1844 burger at £12.95. It tasted good, and the accompanying chips were also good. Sides of onion rings and garlic cheese bread recommended. I was happy that they had Thatcher's Haze (cloudy cider) on tap. Nice village pub and restaurant.

Village pub is the title think not staff rude owner rude food and drinks over priced.When I visited music too loud feel sorry for people living near sounded like a club in the town centre not a village pub. Relaxing not .

Lovely sunny beer garden tastefully furnished. We had a light lunch which was excellent. Small Seafood salad & Steak & Stilton sandwich. Cider & Beer. Food excellent & good to see locals using there village pub.

Our family meal experience: 1. Awful service 2. Poor quality of food 3. Overpriced Conclusion; do not go! Looks beautiful on the outside & inside and that is about it. We complained to two members of staff and they were not bothered in the slightest.

Great food, good service and a lovely way to end a beautifully sunny day! The asparagus and crispy poached egg starter was exquisite. The raspberry crêpe soufflé was very special too.

Came here for a late afternoon meal of which we both had the ribeye steak followed by the crumble. the steak was beautifully cooked and the crumble was gorgeous. The staff were friendly and efficient. Will defo be going back, managed to look at the bar and see their fantastic whiskey selection. The only negative i have about the food was that the 10oz ribeye was slightly overpriced but still delicious.

Booked a table online rang to confirm time of 7.45 were eventually seated at 8.30 had to continually ask to order was told by lovely young staff that manager wouldn’t let them take our order ( they actually seemed embarrassed by our treatment ) food eventually served at by 9.20 then had to wait for salt and pepper ! Food was ok over priced for what we got chips frozen style steaks over cooked but starving so ate them . The bar staff were lovely but management no where to be seen wouldn’t rush back

Had a fantastic evening at The Star Inn in Thrussington!!! Dinner for 4 for my mums birthday and we all thoroughly enjoyed it!! A great ambience with delicious food with a good selection of wines. I really enjoyed the Rump of Lamb which was cooked to perfection, accompanied by a fondant potato, asparagus, broad beans, tender stem broccoli and a red wine jus. Then my desert which was it of this world Frangipane Treacle Tart with Lemongrass ice cream was just amazing!!!!

I booked into staying in The Star Inn 1774 as hotels in Leicester were full. Pub part is really nice, friendly and food is spot on.

The atmosphere was a bit snooty and heads turned when we enter the bar, bit like (if you have seen it) American Werewolf in London:- out in the sticks; pub scene!!!

We detoured into Thrussington to avoid having lunch at the M1 services later. Our eyes landed on the Star Inn, our noses twitched and we were not disappointed.

I went for a birthday surprise the other day. The service was great and food delightful! So well presented and a full Gluten Free menu!! Nothing was too much effort which was great! Comfortable and accessible. Historial and relaxing ambience.

We haven’t eaten in The Star Inn for a couple of months and booked dinner at 5pm. On arrival we were greeted by George and Joe at the bar who both remembered our drink of choice. We don’t usually have a starter but mini fish and chips and black pudding with crispy bacon and poached egg sounded amazing and we weren’t disappointed.

The breakfast was very good and the service was good, I wanted to show my Mexican and French friends a genuine English breakfast and the breakfast was good and also the service

Great Olde English Inn with modern decor great ambience and friendly professional staff. Three of us chose the liver and bacon which was superb, as were our dessert selection, all exceptional. A visit is highly recommend.

I am one of a cycling group that tours throughout the east midlands enjoying the good food and drink that is generally available in many places. The Star had been contacted prior to our arrival to see if they could provide food for 5 of us, we were told it would not be a problem . We did not book as it was impossible to give an accurate ETA.....cycling is a bit like that! On arrival we asked about eating and were given a most negative off-hand response that it would be extremely difficult and would be a very long wait. As we were clearly not valued we went elsewhere and were treated very well indeed.

Had a great time for a family meal here, perfect service, and the food was delicious! Additionally, I’m also gluten free, and the options were endless for me, one of the best gluten free menus I’ve seen in Leicestershire! Will definitely come again and recommend to friends. 5 STARS!!!

Visited the restaurant as we were staying as B&B; guests. The restaurant was very busy but staff managed to find us a table. Our grouo order mains and they were Fantastic. Steak perfectly cooked and chicken to die for! All reasonably priced...

Was a lovely evening spent with friends. Was not busy so we weren't rushed but the waiter was attentive. Food great.

Decided to visit on a Monday pie night with family. Although I love pie the duo of lamb sounded excellent to which I quickly ordered as the waitress informed our table that there was only one left. When our mains were delivered the waitress said quite nonchalantly “oh, I gave the lamb away to the last table, do you want this portion of pie instead?”. To which I replied “no I’ll have the liver and onion instead please” - no apology, nothing!! Liver, for three of us was not pink as requested and chewy. Pies for the other family members were very small in portions and the beef not tender. Deserts however were amazing and the creme brûlée was wonderful. We also ended up sitting in our coats as the restaurant was not warm. Not up to previous standards I would say, very disappointing.

Had an evening meal here after travelling up from Kent. Really attractive menu and food was excellently prepared and attractively served. Staff were helpful and friendly. Busy Friday night and so pretty noisy particularly with the not-so background music. However staff turned it down when asked which helped a bit.

Monday night pie night. Lovely fish pie. Evening great, food came out quickly. My only complaint was the Staff. Went to the bar to get a drink all staff were sat down eating. Also a memeber of staff was shouting and swearing at another family in the pub. We paid up and left.

Ate at the Star Inn, Sat 24 Sept, As our previous visit all was excellent, Venue, Decor, Service, Food, We had Soup, Breaded Brie, Goats Cheese, Squid starters. Beef Wellington, Liver, Fish, Pork, Main Courses and Olives / Bread side dish, Two White Wines and one Beer, Bill was for £118. All was perfect , Highly Recommended.

Very good food, excellent service and reasonably priced.

Ordered dinner time meal but two types of menu available very good standard and chief no problem in changingaspects of meal to suit clients.Good selection of beers etc as well will go again definitely

We booked a table 14th August to celebrate our daughter 25th birthday. We had a excellent meal, from the moment we arrived the staff were all very professional and friendly. Beautiful decorated restaurant. The menu offers a good selection and is reasonable priced. The food we had was first class. We will definitely be returning.

We were staying nearby and booked to eat dinner here, partly on location and partly the excellent reviews. We liked the welcome, the good choice of menus and the excellent food. The best recommendation I could think of is that when my steak arrived I was wondering how to cut into this large fist sized piece of meat. I hadn't been given a steak knife (it arrived a minute later) but I used a normal knife which sliced right through the steak easily to reveal a perfect medium-rare steak. Delicious.Altogether, an excellent meal in a very good establishment which was very good value.

Another of those places that I drive past on a regular basis so tonight we stopped off for an early dinner. Restaurant itself is nicely done out and immediately met with a warm welcome. Ordered breads and olives as a starter and all very fresh and tasty. We both went for the 10oz filler steak and have to say it was excellent. I ordered a red wine sauce and my wife asked if they could do a garlic sauce even though it wasn't on the menu. Off went the waitress and after a quick conversation with the chef they agreed to do. Steaks themselves were cooked to perfection and served with chips and a delicious side salad. Didn't have room for a dessert but from what we saw on other tables they looked very good. Not often I single out staff but our waitress( a young lady called Ilea) was superb. Friendly, efficient, great sense of humour, helpful and have to say she provided the best service I've seen for a long time. Thank you. Overall a fabulous experience and we will definitely be back soon.

Came here for a meal on Thursday, the food and service was excellent! A great variety of food. Topped off by the live performance! Excellent atmosphere within the pub and would 100% return, especially on a night where there is acoustic music again.

We went here with our sons and some friends on a Sunday lunchtime and were surprised that it was mostly empty. It's a lovely place after all.We all had Sunday lunch, including the kids who had smaller portions as there's no children's menu. The food was ok but not as good as we had hoped. The beef was rather chewy and the chicken breast was uninspiring. The pork was apparently nice. We enjoyed the cauliflower cheese and other veggies. It's not cheap so I would have expected better and probably would have mentioned it to a member of staff if anyone had come to ask how our meal was, but they didn't. All in all we probably won't rush back. What a shame.

Really stylish pub with restaurant and rooms overlooking the village green. Traditional but updated really nicely, menu is varied and interesting-be nice to go for a meal and stay over too. Will review again then!!

 A lovely pub/restaurant. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. The bar serves real ales. There is a lot of choice on the menu. I had belly of pork which was delicious. The service was excellent.
