Great pub serving reasonably priced good quality food and well kept real ales. I always head there for lunch when I am in Somerset. Old pub with a lovely atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Best to book in advance to avoid disappointment especially for Sunday roast as it is very popular. Would like to give ten stars if I could!
Nice little pub. Very friendly staff. Had mixed grill which was very niceFood: 4/5
Worst dinning experience to date. I booked this restaurant in advance for 7 family members to enjoy a meal for my brothers 18th birthday whilst away. We arrived at 18:20pm and were directed to our table. I asked if there was another table available as the area selected wasn't suitable for a disabled member of out party to which we were simply told no. The gentleman at the bar handed my aunt a pad and pen to write down our orders as he 'didn't want us to be left behind' as they were anticipating a busy evening. We promptly provided our order of starters and mains. Our starters arrived within approximately 30 minutes however after waiting 2 hours and being told twice our mains would be with us shortly, I then took to the bar to ask if our meals would be arriving soon as we had been waiting over 2 hours and my 3 year old was normally in bed. I explained that the 2 parties in our same area whom arrived an hour after us one a larger party too had already been served. The gentleman became very abrupt and told us it was our fault as we had ordered starters. At 20:45pm we were finally served our food by which point we were feeling extremely uncomfortable due to the behaviour of the staff and couldn't face the food we had been served and decided to settle the bill and leave. There was also an issue as we had been asked if we wanted a portion of onions rings with the meal to which we replied yes and were subsequently sent 6 large portions which we were expected to pay for but explained we would only pay for 1 as that is all we had asked for. It appears the locals were catered to as a priority, and we were discarded as soon as we walked through the door. This made for an extremely disappointing end to a lovely family holiday in Doniford.
Visited for lunch on Sunday 05th Feb 2023. The pub resturant appeared to be, being run by 3 young people who were all brilliant especially the hostess behind the bar who was freindly and patient with every request. A credit to herself. The food wasn't bad either.
Great pub, friendly staff, real ales and lovely food!! Thoroughly recommend but it's best to book in advance to avoid disappointment!
The lady behind the bar made us very welcome and the food was very good the steak pie was lush but I couldn't fit it all in. Nice pub and a reliable selection of beers.
Brilliant pub in Watchet, look out for the cool bottle collection and big beer garden out the back
One always hesitates to leave a favourable review in case it encourages hordes of people to visit and thus spoil the quiet ambience of a place. Our experience of the Star Inn was, to be honest, excellent. From viewing the menu online and anticipating the seafood sharing board I was looking forward to our visit. We were not disappointed. Entering this small but pleasantly located old inn we immediately received a warm and friendly welcome. This, unfortunately is so rare today, when the simple concept of people in the hospitality sector being hospitable seems deeply unfashionable. No so the Star Inn. There were a few diners and what seemed like some locals at the bar. Not too busy but just right for the atmosphere in an English pub. The service was quick but not obtrusive, the choice of drinks wide - white wine for the Mem and a pint of Inches cider for me. We, of course ordered the seafood sharing board as a starter, she had a steak, and I chose sea bass fishcakes from the specials list. How did this match up to our expectations? In a word, smashing! Well cooked, flavoursome and just the right amount. I am undecided between recommending everyone visit this little gem of a pub which deserves to be full every day, to prosper and thus remain in business or hoard our experience, like a miser keeping a secret, hoping that only a few people visit in order to preserve the lovely, quiet atmosphere. Hmmmm. Decisions. Oh well, five stars it is then...
Nice Inn with warm welcome. The food however was not so warm. I had calamari to start. It had not been cooked in the correct high temperature oil which meant the batter was soggy and the calamari tasted more rubbery than is usual. I chose the fish and chips for my main. Sadly the same scenario; which meant some of the batter was uncooked. The chips were ok!
Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Would recommend booking a table or it might be a 30 - 45 minute wait. The food was delicious and all cooked fresh. Can recommend.
