The Star became a beerhouse soon after 1830, but parts of the building are older. It has a small, separate public bar at the front, with the main rooms of the pub to the side. Between the dark oak beams of the ceiling hang hundreds of pubs clips. Behind the narrow bar is a patio with smoking area and a separate lounge (The Garden Lounge). Dogs are welcome in here. Up to 14 cask ales (10 midweek and up to 14 weekends) and ten ciders and perries are available (three house ciders from the Garden Cider Co.), and regular beer festivals are held at Easter and Halloween. Sunday is quiz night and there is folk music on Mondays. It may stay open later on Friday and Saturday. The Star is especially renowned for its selection of ciders and perries, with around ten from an ever changing range, sourced by the landlord directly from the National Cider Farm in Sussex. Notably, the Star usually stocks a draft mead. The pub has won many CAMRA and other awards for cider and perry and is the local branch Pub of the Year 2024. It is also home of Godalming Beerworks.
