    The new decor made everything look so much nicer.The staff were very friendly and helpful.The food was good but a little slow coming but nicely presented and very fresh. The addition of a table magician was fun and he was very good. Overall a very pleasant experience and one that we will repeat sometime soon I hope. Well done all of you and may I wish you every success.

    Roast was nice but more warm than hot, chicken was quite fatty and not many vegetables. The sourdough seemed alittle stale that we had with the table and butter was so hard you couldn’t spread it

    Great food, lovely restaurant, live music was a bonus. On the minus side a think the music could be turned down one notch and although we found the service on the whole very good. Would and will go again

    Our second time at the Starr since it re-opened. Again, an excellent overall experience albeit not just as good as the first time. Service is very good but not quite at the level it needs to be to have premium status. Ordered ribeye steak which was excellent but the mammoth portion chips detracted from the enjoyment. Notwithstanding, without a doubt, by far the best place to eat in Dunmow.
