The Heathcote And Star

One of the most community oriented places to gather and connect with super genuine team, staff and owners who are heart-led and put ethics over profits. What more can you ask for of a public house? We have been offering community yoga and esoteric happenings, gong baths and meditations upstairs, and the team here has made so much giving possible, helping and supporting literally hundreds of people to connect with their health and wellness… they even gave us a giant tea urn so we can give away free chai to the yogis. When people share the love through their business it can only mean good things. Genuinely love what it’s about. Plus the food, garden and drinks are great.

Led by the absolutely magnificent Tara, her & her team are just outstanding! The customer service here is second to none, they are so en pointe, nothing is a big ask and they have it covered. Combine that w gorgeous, well prepared food and a charming atmosphere this really is a bloody good pub. They've got it spot on!

Went for a Sunday roast and was not disappointed. Normally such generous volume either costs the Earth or tastes bad. This was neither! Fab food and Yorkshire puddings the size of a cat's head. Cracking. Went with two veggies and they said theirs was lovely too. Kid friendly without being "kiddy". Great garden, lovely staff. We will be back!

I came as a guest of a private room party for a child's baptism celebration. First impressions of the place were powerful in a very good way. The whole place is enormous. Massive rooms, one with pool tables, nice paintings and decors, tables were not pushed too close together which is appreciated. The garden, again, a massive space with lots of seats available. Private room also served the party's purpose well. We had all we needed. Heated trays with delicious sriracha chicken and battered couliflower, rice, sauces and chips. All tasted great. Most staff members were nice, friendly and smiley. Then to lavatories... Such a huge venue should have at least double amount of cubicles available. The toilet bowls, washbasins and urinals were clean but the walls, floors, doors and ceiling were in terrible and disgusting condition. Stickers, graffiti, cobwebs, paint peeling off or worn out, posters torn, everything dirty and not taken care of. It totally ruined the overall image of the venue and was the reason to drop one star - sadly.
