Cosy, compact and friendly pub in the heart of residential Belgravia. They have some perfectly cellared Fullers on tap – you just can’t go wrong with a pint of Pride in this pub.
The downstairs lounge bar has a large open fire and tends to be the most popular spot. I have found that the seats around the bar tend to get blagged by the locals, some of whom are a bit visitor-intolerant.
The lunch time menu is simple and the food well prepared. Nothing great, but sensibly priced and (so far) never had reason for complaint.
Once you know how to find the Star you’re fine, but going there for the first time without a map or instructions can be geographically embarrassing….
If I had any misgivings it might possibly be some of the pretentious punters that swan in and out. There is a distinct Sloany feel to some of the louder customers, but that’s understandable, given it’s in the heart of their territory!
