Star Inn, Filey

An unusual-looking inter-war pub on a side street just off the centre which proved to be a lively locals' pub, nicely full and with a good buzz of conversation. The decoration of the large main room was a bit of a mish-mash but that was made up for by a good selection of Yorkshire ales, namely Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Hambleton Nightmare Porter, Wensleydale Semer Water and Yorkshire Heart Silverheart, with Theakstons Best bringing up the rear. There was also a plainer and unused dining room behind, with a beer garden at the rear and the food was pretty good. A proper pub with good beer.

Not too bad - quite a lot of character and good craic with the locals. Expensive, but not outrageously so given the fairly touristy location.
