JACK
Our range of Blackwater Brewing Company Craft ales are brewed by the Star's tenant, Jack Skerritt. He's a local from St Lawrence, who creates and produces his beers just half a mile away on Newlands Farm, overlooking the pub. With at least eight of the beers on tap at all times, you'll be completely spoilt for choice - so you'll just have to try them all!
DUNCAN
Our head chef, Duncan Pearcy, brings a wealth of culinary experience from his global travels. Known for his exceptional ability to craft innovative specials,
Duncan has developed a unique approach to blending flavours and techniques from different cultures to create menus with a broad range and lasting appeal.
ENJOY FINE CRAFT BEERS FROM OUR OWN BREWERY
The Star is the taproom of Blackwater Brewing Company. Our own range of craft ales are all freshly brewed just up the road in our hilltop brewery overlooking Steeple. A full selection of exciting and satisfying flavours and beer styles will always be tap, alongside guest ales and national brand favourites.
​
Tasters are always available. You'll never know just how good really fresh beer is until you taste it, so don't be shy - have a try!
IN THE BAR....
POOL
The pub hosts a regular League Pool night on Mondays, the rest of the time the 7' league standard Supreme Prince table is there for all comers to show their skills. Tucked away in its own game area where passing customers can't cramp your style, it's a great place to share a few frames and get a session on.
PUB GAMES
Darts, dominoes, and plenty of other traditional pub and table games are available - and encouraged!
We are delighted to welcome players, spectators and people who just like the feeling that comes with a few good games of whatever you fancy alongside a (very) decent pint or two.
