We've been serving the people of Braintree and beyond since 2015 and in that time have humbly become ‘one of Essex’s best restaurants.’ We have received recognition from the AA, having been awarded an AA Rosette for ‘culinary excellence’ for five consecutive years, and then in 2023 we received our second rosette, putting the restaurant amongst the top 10 restaurants in Essex. Our food is of course one of our main focuses, but we don’t just stop there. Attentive, relaxed and friendly service is as important as the food and our objective is to make your visit an enjoyably memorable one. Our exceptional wine supplier, Peter Watts Wines (based up the road in Coggeshall) allows us to offer you delicious wines of an exceptional quality. Then add some cocktails, jazz, personality, creativity, a few hidden quirks and we like to think this all culminates to create a truly wonderful experience. Life is about memories; we want to be part of your best ones.

Great food. Good amount of food per course. We had the crispy pork as starter and it was really great. Main was trio of meat roast. All the meat was great but the lamb was the star. The roast potato’s and pigs in blankets was really great. Desert was chocolate sausage roll portion is large and really great also. In all the food was really great.

We visited the Starr with some hyper-fussy friends and they could find nothing to complain about. I can't give a better review than that!
