Reviews The Black Star

Update: My favourite pub in Stourport! Nice pub to stop off and have some food and drinks. Good selection of ales and ciders. Good cobs, sausage rolls and pork pies if you want a quick snack. Lovely welcoming staff also

Chance visit a week last Friday lunchtime, great ales very friendly and efficient staff. Went back at night to see the band, brilliant, loved it, food looked delicious and good value, as reported by the diners at night. Great pub, wish we lived near it. Thanks all.

WOW!!! Homemade Lasagne was delicious. Hubby had the ribs, he said they were very good! Good size portions and very cheap!! Lovely friendly staff. Would definitely recommend this place.

4th September 2021: What a fantastic pub restaurant just above the canal immediately after "Lower Mitton Bridge No.5" upon leaving Stourport on Severn basin onto the Staffs and Worcester canal. Popped over here with a boater friend from Diglis Basin in Worcester as I had seen this pub whilst walking along the canal towpath on one of my photographic exploratory walks. Lovely outdoors seating area with big tables and umbrellas and overlooking the canal below. The chips we ordered were so delicious and chunky and the real cask ales were superb with my Butty Bach on tap as it turned out...perfect. The house Chardonnay was exceptional too. A fantastic selection of proper pub snacks, scotch eggs, duck eggs, black pudding and freshly made sandwiches all there at the bar counter along with a fantastic selection of true cask ales on tap as well. Wow, we spent the glorious sunny afternoon here....how could we not?! Tom the lad serving at the bar was a charming character, ever so friendly, welcoming and cheerful and nothing deterred him from his smiling jovial demeanour with a full house of punters waiting to get their orders in at his bar counter... A BIG SHOUT OUT and HUGE THANK YOU to TOM and the REST OF the other STAFF serving outside too....WELL DONE YOU ALL!!! (Maybe I should have a word with the owners to give you all a bonus or raise, oops...) The food selection on the menu looked amazing and pity we weren't around to pop over for an evening meal as we had to chug on to the Staffs and Worcester canal early the next morning. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PUB RESTAURANT HIGHLY, fantastic food, drinks and true proper real cask ales.. Gorgeous location and buildings and apparently the Black Star has it's own chapel for venues and other functions..weddings, parties etc. but please do check with the staff and owners as i was told about it! Thanks Black Star for a most wonderful and amazing afternoon here!

I've just experienced the most amazing home made lasagne at this lovely little canal side pub. Just packed with flavour and presented with a fluffy jacket potato. Well recommended!!

While visiting Stourport-on-Severn with friends.. We ate lunch here together.. And absolutely no issues with the cuisine or staff.. Yes it's pubgrub, but it was very nice.. On arrival a member of staff duly welcomed us, and when we decided on what to eat, went to the bar to order and fair play, the staff member asked about allergies.. And in this day& age, you have to praise them for doing so.. Food was freshly cooked and we had no issues at all.. Dog friendly pub aswell so we'll done to you all.. There really isn't much more I can add.. Except on a sunny day you can sit outside in a large area by canal at rear of property.. We would definitely eat here again when we're back in the area..

Lived in Stourport a while and not got round to coming here, the beer was excellent, food really good, clientele friendly and the staff polite, interested in you as a person and very efficient, I'd recommend the local Stout and lasagne!

Popped in for a quick drink whilst we were in town, staff were friendly and welcoming as were the patrons, a throughly pleasant way to while away a few hours on a Sunday afternoon.

Friendliest Pub we have stopped at all week (from the canal) and there have been lots of good ones. Staff we great and really helpful. Locals also were welcoming. Fantastic atmosphere, was gutted to have the little one with us so we couldn't stay on for the band. Highly recommended
