The Star Inn, a country pub in Newbury

We’ve got everything you need from a country pub near you. 

The pub was established between 1844 and 1847 in a building originally used as a farm. When it became a pub, the original landlord was a Mr Charles Elliot. Around Kingsclere there is terrific walking and miles of cycle tracks. You can also follow the Kingsclere Millennium Trail, which reveals the village's history and secrets on a scenic walk around the area.

Our menus are full of hearty favourites and country pub classics, as well as our seasonal dishes, and we’ll be ready with a well-stocked bar, including cask ales, fine wines and British gin to suit very taste - which will taste all the better when enjoyed either in our beautiful gardens or by our crackling log fires.

Our regal looking inn with its own little green is a popular refreshment stop for walkers exploring the beautiful countryside and close to the famous Watership Down. Much of the village is a designated conservation area.
