Dining at The Star Inn
Dining reservations can be made in our Restaurant with a choice between our Tasting Menu (with optional Matched Wines Package), À la Carte Menu or our Sunday Menu, which incorporates a couple of ‘Roasts’. Samples of all our seasonal Menus can be viewed using the links below.
In good weather our Garden areas are very popular. However, we do not take bookings for al fresco dining, due to the vagaries of the Yorkshire weather. Garden tables are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, but it may be possible for those with Restaurant reservations to relocate to the Garden on arrival.
View Our Sample Menus
Our Tasting Menus are an ideal way of sampling a range of our seasonal dishes from across our menu, whilst our À la Carte Menu offers a more traditional approach with choices of starter, main course, puddings and cheese. In addition to our Evening/Full Tasting Menu, we also offer a Lunchtime Tasting Menu alternative. Please note we offer Tasting Menus to accommodate the main allergen types only and regret that we are unable to offer further ingredient restrictions.

Wine & Drinks Menus
The Star Inn offers a good range of Bar Drinks and Cocktails to complement an extensive list of Wines by the Bottle and by the Glass. The ever-evolving Wine List changes regularly to mirror the produce-led seasonal Yorkshire Menus. The ultimate example is the matched wines package accompanying the spring, summer, autumn and winter Tasting Menus, compiled with assistance from our Wine Consultant and Chefs. Suggested pairings for each dish on the À la Carte Menu and Daily Specials also allow individual diners to optimise their experience for each course of their meal. Knowledgeable front of house staff can make further recommendations to suit the diners’ personal tastes.
For those preferring to choose wine by the bottle, there is a good choice of traditional and more unusual varietals and blends, with options of half bottles or magnums for certain wines each with tasting notes.
Hand-pulled ales, including guest ales, come from the Pub Bar; cocktails from the Cocktail Bar.
Reservations
We recommend making advance bookings at all times. Whilst at quieter times, we may be able to accept walk-in bookings in The Star Inn Pub or our Gardens, our booked diners will always have priority.
When booking our full Tasting Menu please ensure that you allow three to three and a half hours for your visit.
Cheese Trolley
Purpose-built by Robert Thompson’s Craftsmen, AKA the Mouseman of Kilburn, The Star’s 'legendary' Cheese Trolley offers a selection of over a dozen different cheeses; soft, hard, cow, sheep and goat along with some seasonal favourites, from near and far.
Why not stay the night and savour the experience for longer?
We have packages, including dinner in our Restaurant and a stay in a room at Cross House Lodge, for a special break.
