The Star is a typically rustic country pub displaying plenty of interesting memorabilia to keep your eyes occupied ranging from cricket mementoes to defunct currencies. Long Description Matt and Karen Williams are certainly making their mark in this delightful old village pub three miles north of Alton. The building dates from 1834 and it looks good, with colourful floral displays outside during the summer and open fires blazing in the beamed bar when the weather is gloomy. Karen runs the kitchen, and her steak and kidney pie is a best seller. Elsewhere on her menu you can expect wholesome dishes like fishcakes with lemon mayo, lamb chops with minted gravy and seafood specials such as marinated tuna or fillet of sea bass with peppercorn sauce. Sandwiches, ploughman's, omelettes and so on are also served in the bar. 'Lunch for Six Quid' (Mon-Sat) is one of the best deals around, if you fancy tucking into faggots with mash and peas, liver and bacon or a plateful of bubble 'n' squeak with bacon, egg, sausage and baked beans. On Sunday, it's time for a good old-fashioned roast. The Star is noted for its well-kept real ales and it's a magnet for fans of live music: there are free gigs every Friday evening.
