Reopened on Sep 2nd after a refurbishment and the extension of the rear dining area. There is now an extensive food menu of traditional pub grub (curry, burger, steak, pizza, pasta, salads and chips), but the pub remains welcoming for those who just want a drink. The pub feels airier and lighter and has benefited from a spruce up rather than being ruined by modernisation. The conservatory is popular with diners in the summer, and the small bar on the left still boasts a dart board and a telly with free-to-air channels as well as BT Sport. Dogs welcome in bar, Here, in AD946, King Edmund I of England was killed by a local outlaw called Liulph. The Revel (dating from 1284) is a community event and holds a Beer and Cider Festival to raise money for local groups in the car park of the Star Inn every June.
