Discover the Timeless Charm of The Star Inn, Sulgrave.

For over three centuries, our inn has stood as a welcoming beacon in this picturesque village, perfectly positioned on the borders of South Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire. Beyond its tranquil setting, The Star boasts a rich history, famously visited by the legendary John Wayne during his tour of Sulgrave Manor, the ancestral home of George Washington.

In 1889, Chief Justice William Taft captured the essence of The Star, describing it as a “relic of bygone days when comforts were plain and ale was plenty,” a sentiment that still rings true today. We invite you to experience our warm hospitality, whether you’re staying in our comfortable en-suite bedrooms, savouring a meal in our oak-beamed restaurant, or simply enjoying a drink in our historic surroundings.

I popped in on Sunday lunchtime, and whilst enjoying a lovely pint and chatting with Mark (the extremely personable new landlord), I happened to notice that "boeuf bourguignon with Lyonnaise potatoes" was on the menu.
This is one of my favourite dishes, and so of course I ordered it, and I am so glad that I did because it was absolutely delicious; in fact it was by far the best one I have ever tasted!!

A beef bourguignon to warm the soul

We stumbled across this lovely traditional pub on a recent trip to the area. The staff were friendly and the beer tasted great. A special mention must go to the fantastic food.

A decent concise menu but every dish a winner. Our kids loved the pasta but our favourite was the beef bourguignon. The perfect warming antidote to these winter days. We spent a lovely couple of hours there on a Sunday and will hopefully be back soon.

Would definitely recommend for a night away or food after a country walk. We loved the fact the food was home cooked. Great pasta!

Very friendly, nothing too much trouble. Food was excellent and accommodated my dietary intolerances (df and gf) easily. Lovely cosy pub with a wood burning stove.
