Real Ale Ray left this review about Old Star

The name of this micropub is a nod to the Old Star Inn on this site, which closed in 1940. There is a good sized picture of the Old Star on the far wall. The interior has cream coloured T & G painted walls and a timber floor. The bar area faces you as you enter the pub and the beer is on stillage along the back. A comprehensive beer and cider list is displayed on the right hand side of the bar, along with a display on the front window, which is novel. Four ales on our visit New Bristol Brewery The Joy of Sesh, Goldmark Smash Mosiac, Burning Sky Spring Pale and Hop Back Entire Stout. Four ciders, Thistly Cross Whiskey Cask Cider, Snails Bank Orchard Dry Cider, Sandford Orchards Devon Red Medium Cider and Snails Bank Rhubarb Cider. We really enjoyed our visit here, as the owners and locals were all friendly and welcoming.

The pub serves real ales by gravity directly from behind the bar, with two options available during our visit: Burning Sky NZPA and New Bristol The Joy of Sesh. Additionally, the bar offers a selection of boxed ciders, including Thistly Cross Whisky Cask, Iford Somerset Sahara, Sandford Orchards Devon Red, and Lilley's Cherries & Berries. Thornbridge Jaipur was available on tap, and a variety of bottled beers and ciders could be found in a nearby fridge beside the bar.

Tucked away in a side street, just off the main drag, this is a good micropub with a friendly owner. Seating is on stools around tall tables which are scattered around. Although most of us chose to stand at the bar, as there was only one other customer present.

Real ales are dispensed by gravity from behind the bar. Two were on during our visit. These were Burning Sky NZPA & New Bristol The Joy of Sesh. Boxed ciders can also be found on the bar - Thistly Cross Whisky Cask, Iford Somerset Sahara, Sandford Orchards Devon Red & Lilley's Cherries & Berries. Thornbridge Jaipur was available on keg, whilst there was also a good selection of bottled beers and ciders available in a fridge next to the bar.

This is another Shoreham pub that is missing from the latest Good Beer Guide. But in my view, it's worthy of an entry.
