The Star, Godalming

The Star is undobtably the shining light of Godalmings pubs,It's been an alehouse since the 1830s but the building pre-dates that by a good while. Although tied to Greene king it has a free hand in the beers it sells, no less than twelve beers were available, four on hand pump the rest on stillage, four of the beers were GK derived but none of the usual suspects, twelve beers may draw criticism from some beer commentators but the two I tried were in top condition, Wild Child Hedonistic Experience, from the barrel and Salopian Oracle on handpump. There is also now a micro brewery attached to the pub,Goldaming Beerworks, a couple of those were on but untried. The pub is also renowned for its Cider and has ten or so including Mead available, the walls festooned with branch CAMERA Cider Pub Of The Year awards.I find it difficult to criticise anything about this cosy very traditional pub.

Nice old pub close to the station. Small front area with longer lounge to side. Vary traditional and selling real ale

Lovely looking traditional pub that maybe overdoes it at Halloween. Eight real ales on. I won't tell them how to run their business but maybe less is more. The bloke before me had a Betty Stoggs which was gravity fed after a trip to the cellar. It looked great but completely headless. Man in front wasnt impressed. I went for a gulping gold - again from the cellar but with more life in it. Enjoyable pint and food was good value and really quickly served. Decent pub. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2zs7Vfz

The Star is a very nice looking pub that is on an equally nice looking street. Once inside there is an oblong shaped room to the right which runs to the rear,the bar is on the front left side,the floor is carpeted and the seating is pew seats and chairs and one tall table and stools,there is a smaller separate room to the front left,this room has a tiled floor and pew seats and small stools. There was a very good choice of real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Peerless Skylark which was poured from a barrel behind the bar,this was a decent drink,the other real ales noted were Wolf Silver Fox,Everards Old Original,Black Sheep Special,GK XX MIld and one more i failed to read my notes of. This is a very pleasant pub to have a drink in,just a shame that there was no TVs or background music,this made the pub seem far too quiet for my liking. Pub visited 13/5/2017
