The Star, Haywards Heath

The Star is an L-shaped pub with a bar that faces the entrance. To the right of the entrance is some seating and a dartboard that had some tables on the oche during my Monday evening visit. To the left is more seating and I spotted a plasma screen that was showing a reality police program on Channel 5. There was also some background music playing and I noted that food is available all day. Alongside the standard draught selection at the bar were four hand pumps that were drawing Greene king IPA, Abbot, Dark Star’s Hophead and St Austell’s Proper Job. I found the locals to be harmless enough, but if I wanted to watch police, camera, action or some other indistinguishable specimen of utter drivel I would have gone for a cup of tea around my Nan’s house. I would return if passing, if only to see what the atmosphere is like at a busier time.
