Star Inn

To one side is a restaurant with a flashy, modern dining room and a Michelin star, but what you're looking for is next door, nearly hidden beneath the thatch: a tiny pub room that feels carved out of the trunk of a very old tree. Here is everything you’d want in a picture-book country pub: low beamed ceilings; indulgent, smiling barmaids; a fire; sketches of cricket players and judges on the wall; and, served all day, Yorkshire pudding with roast beef cut thick as a Penguin paperback.
