AMAZING!!! As far as I remember this place has won pub food…read moreof the year ever year since Ive lived in the area. Super tasty quality food, I noticed that on the menu it even tells you which farm the meat came from, or where the ice cream was made etc. The Greek Lamb and the Gammon are both brilliant. The portions are huge and I'm always left with enough food for another meal but save room for the Holly Bush sundae because you wont ever have a such a selection of tasty locally made ice cream :) The prices are great too, last time I went it was around 30quid for the 2 of us.

Visited from a canal boat in August…read more Great location with plenty to watch as boats pass through the lock. Garden was full of wasps (can't blame the pub) so ate inside where it was too warm. Food was adequate. Prices OK. Tables sticky. Leftovers from other diners' lunches on the floor - and it wasn't that busy. Loos were poor. Staff seemed a little distracted. Come on guys get your act together. You have a superb location and loads of potential. If you cleaned the place up a bit, tried just a little harder with the food and pretended you were pleased to see customers you'd have a goldmine. If you are after family friendly, good value food I'd recommend walking into town and eating in the Morrison's cafe - £20 for a 2 course meal with drinks for 5! And the food was every bit as good as the Star.

Is this Staffordshire's best kept secret? The owners of the Mill at Worston say it is on their…read moreadvertising. It may be opinion, but it's not too wrong. Don't expect a very quiet country pub as beer garden is next to the west coast main line. If you like trains thundering past you at over 100mph then that won't be a problem. That said the beer garden is rather attractive, not so large you can't keep an eye on the kids, but big enough that they can do their own thing. The mill building has laods of character, they explain the history of it on their website. Food and drink is solidly good, and can find no fault with it.

The toilets were very clean, and smelt lovely which is always a nice thing in a pub. The food was the highlight of the day for me though. Obviously homecooked, and to an excellent standard. Would definietly recommend this pub to anyone lloking for a nice quiet setting for a meal.

Not the nicest place we've been. If you dont mind walking through clouds of smoke when you enter…read morebecause they let people (and in fact encourage) to smoke just outside, then you may enjoy this place. While the food is fairly good we did not find it very comfortable and the service was far from exceptional. There are much better choices around to take the family out for a meal or for a quiet meal for two that I dont think we will bother with this one again. Also... its spelled with a "y".
