INTRODUCING THE STAR INN AT WALDRON
The Star Inn has been a public house for over 450 years and is located in the centre of the picturesque village of Waldron in East Sussex. Originally built as an Inn in 1550, it is steeped in history and has seen many changes during that time. The record of Owners & Licensees displayed in the bar, dates back to 1750 when Mrs Brown was then Landlady. The current Landlord is Paul Lefort, whose family took over the pub in 1982.
Waldron village boasts one of the oldest Cricket Clubs in known history, the 12th century All Saints Church, a 'jewel' amongst Sussex's churches, a Croquet Club, a well-supported Women’s Institute, the Waldron Community Players and the Lucas Memorial Hall where many village events are held. As an integral part of village life for many centuries, The Star Inn continues to be the heart of the community and is popular with locals and visitors alike, who come to enjoy the warm welcome and traditional country pub atmosphere.
The Star Inn has a wonderful traditional bar with original oak beams and Inglenook fireplace with a comforting open fire during the winter months. Inside there is seating for 50 diners. Our recently refurbished restaurant can cater for parties of up to 40 guests, whereas the bar and separate dining area can accommodate smaller groups without reservations. You can also make use of our garden on fine days.
Great food is another major attraction at the Star Inn, with a wide range of excellent freshly cooked meals as well as catering for events and functions. Our menu includes a range of light snacks to more substantial lunches and dinners, with a selection of delicious homemade desserts.
Having recently been listed in the Good Beer Guide, the Star Inn offers an excellent range of real ales, beers, ciders and great wines which can be enjoyed in the bar or outside in the garden.
The Star Inn is also a popular venue for Wedding Receptions and can offer the facility of a traditional marquee to host the proceedings. With our experience we are able to ensure that your reception runs without a hitch and your dream is fulfilled.
