| Brilliant pub. 2nd trip to St Just, the other being 4 years ago. Headed straight to The Star and was pleased to find that it hadn't changed and is still excellent. St Austell's beers all in great condition. Very friendly bar staff and customers. We only stayed Monday to Friday, but knew most of the locals to talk to by the end of the week. Everyone had treats for our dog, especially the grey haired chap from Rotherham with the puffed jerky ... dog loved it. Traditional Cornish folk music on the Monday night was superb. Open mic night on Thursday was good, but not as good as Monday. If you like pubs, you'll love this place. Wish I was back there now, instead of stuck in work. Pat_Bateman - 17 Oct 2011 11:32 |
| The Star just doesn't change. Been going there for nearly 20 years now, and it is still superb. Note you can still take your own food in here (ask, of course, it's only polite). The best pub I know in Cornwall, and one of the best anywhere. davercox - 28 Jul 2011 09:09 |
| Situated just off the main town square, The Star Inn is an 18th century granite built small locals pub. The main bar on the left is dark with low beams and is well decorated with lifeboat and tin mining memorabilia. The latter reminds us that we are in former tin mining heartland - Geevor Tin Mine ( the last working mine which closed in 1990 and is now a museum ) is but a few miles away. Flags on the ceiling, including one with The Isle of Man "three legs" emblem, add further character to the interior. A fruit machine and a jukebox are concessions to modern trends, but there's also a piano. A basic room on the right is rather bare, somewhat brighter and contains a dartboard. Notably, a splendid inglenook in this bar has had some built in seats added underneath - looks unusual, but very cosy. There's an outside smoking area in the back yard. Entertainment is offered in the form of weekly music and open mic nights. It's a St Austell's Brewery pub and, on my recent visit, was offering Proper Job, Tribute, HSD and Dartmoor Best ( the latter is not to be confused with the products of a separate Dartmoor Brewery ) together with a guest beer from Skinners. The Proper Job - £ 2.70p - was pretty good. This pub is not tourist orientated at all - there's no food - and it makes a pleasant change from most other pubs in the vicinity, where food and catering for visitors seems to dominate. This pub is well worth a visit if passing through JohnBonser - 24 Sep 2010 13:23 |
