“ I discovered this hidden gem about 10 years ago, and it’s had its fair share of memorable moments. Overall, I absolutely love the Star Pub, both before and after the refurbishment. I’m especially thrilled that Richard is now in charge—he’s by far the best manager they’ve ever had. Richard is attentive, kind, compassionate, and has outstanding interpersonal skills. A friend of mine was having a rough day, and even though I couldn’t make it to the pub, Richard went out of his way to make sure she got her drink from me. It was a thoughtful and selfless gesture that truly went above and beyond. The food is fantastic—well above typical pub standards—and the drinks are very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and provide excellent customer service. Who would have thought Harrow had so much to offer? With epic live acts, club nights, comedy, open mic, flowing cocktails, and top-notch pub grub, there’s never a dull moment. I’ll definitely keep coming back! ”
“ A lovely bar, spacious, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. ”
“ A super modern pub next to South Harrow underground station. Quiet on my visit, perhaps because Mr Google thinks it doesn't open till 10pm at the weekends. Plenty of keg beers and two cask ales for the real ale drinkers. There is a pool table here and many flat screens for showing sport. A great place for a pint. ”
“ The place has been totally renovated and I must say it’s amazing! It’s super clean and the ambience here is perfect! Every one of the staff here are super polite and helpful. It’s one of those rare instances where I feel really looked after. The burgers here are so good I consider it the best in London along with the loaded fries! One plate is enough for two people! I almost couldn’t finish my burger due to the fact I had a whole plate of loaded fries to myself. Totally recommend to this anyone looking for a nice meal and drinks! It’s just perfect! If other restaurants in South Harrow got this sort of investment and management, no doubt South Harrow will be a leader as one of the best Food Towns in the World with potential to attract Michelin Star Ratings. ”
“ A must go to place. 3 weary travelers wondered in here one night by accident not only was the food delicious, the service amazing we were greeted with the most friendly and helpful bunch of people. The 1st visit was by accident but the second visit was just as wonderful and so was the food. ”
“ Excellent and friendly staff, professional service. The ingredients are of good quality, and the food is deliciously tasty and served hot ! The decor is exquisite, with a wise choice of lighting and colours in the spacious hall styled in the manner of Peaky Blinders. As soon as you enter, you're enveloped by the good old sounds of blues and Rock 'n' Roll, and you feel invited to enjoy a traditional cup of English tea and fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the space. I recommend this pub to all who appreciate good food and a cosy atmosphere !!! ”
