The Star is a neighbourhood pub at 47 Chester Road, set among the residential streets south of Highgate Cemetery. Its long opening hours and all day food service make it a flexible local for lunch, dinner, drinks or a relaxed weekend gathering.
Fresh seasonal flavours sit at the centre of a broad British pub menu. Beer battered fish and chips, chilli, burgers and mixed grills are joined by chef specials, sandwiches and lighter starters, giving diners options beyond a single house speciality.
Small plates such as prawns, chicken tenders, mushrooms and onion bhajis work well for sharing with drinks. Sunday service brings hearty roasts and comforting desserts, while vegan choices and a separate children's menu make the pub practical for mixed groups and families.
Local ale, lager, cider, wine, spirits and cocktails cover the drinks side of the experience. Guests with allergies or intolerances should use the current allergen information and speak to staff before ordering because not every ingredient is included in the menu descriptions and cross-contact can occur.
Address: 47 Chester Road, London N19 5DF, England
