The first community owned pub in the UK, this small back-street local is quite a surprise. Enter through a narrow porch into a small vault/bar area, then to the left is the main seating area with padded seats around two bay windows, a juke box and a TV. A further room has a pool table and dart board. Outside is a patio, partially covered, and an outbuilding that contains the accessible toilets.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A small, early Victorian pub with three rooms that was last refurbished in the 1960s. The tiny bar has an old bench with a heating pipe underneath but the bar fittings date from the 1960s when the counter was moved. The lounge retains original bench seating, which sweeps around the bay windows, and bell-pushes. Old etched glass remains in doors and in a baffle in the lounge. The fittings in the pool room at the rear also date from the 1960s when the room was brought into use. The lobby between the lounge the pool room has old black and white tiled floor and inter-war dado tiled walls. The Star was sold at auction by Robinsons in 2009 and is now a cooperatively-owned community pub.

The tiny bar has an old bench with a heating pipe underneath but the bar fittings date from the 1960s when the counter was moved from against the wall to the cellar. The lounge retains original bench seating which sweeps around the bay windows and bell pushes and the half-timbering effect was added in the 1960s. Old etched glass remains in doors and in a baffle in the lounge. The fittings in the pool room at the rear also date from the 1960s when the room was brought into use. The lobby between the lounge the pool room has old black and white tiled floor and inter-war dado tiled walls. Portly customers may need to ask staff to fully open the double-hinged inner door.
