The Star Inn is on the west side of the Main Road at Star Green. It is a late 17th century building that was first recorded as an inn in 1782. However, there is no reference to the Star in the 1891 licensing records. It was certainly trading in the early 1900’s when it sold Godsell’s beer.

The 1996 CAMRA ‘Real Ale in Gloucestershire’ (RAIG) described it as a ‘typical Whitbread two-bar village local’.

The interior of the Star Inn has been extensively modernised over the years, and it even boasts state-of-the-art toilets that were officially opened by Stroud’s MP! The landlord has devised circular walks that start and finish at the Star, taking in some glorious countryside so characteristic of the Stroud Valleys.
