It’s hard to believe it’s already been two whole years since we embarked on this exciting adventure as owners of THE STAR in West Leake. The journey has been nothing short of exhilarating, and as we reflect on our Wedding Day photo taken right outside our beloved STAR-tablishment, we are filled with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead.

From the outset, our mission has been clear: to transform THE STAR into a beacon of excellence, embodying our core values of great beer, great food, and great rooms. As we look back on these past two years, we are proud of the changes we’ve implemented while staying true to these values that define us.

Behind the scenes, there’s a whirlwind of activity aimed at bringing you, our cherished patrons, the absolute best experience possible. Our kitchen has evolved, introducing new dishes that celebrate local ingredients and culinary creativity. Our bar boasts an expanded selection of craft beers and fine wines, curated to delight even the most discerning palate. And our accommodations and garden have undergone upgrades, ensuring that your stay at THE STAR is nothing short of exceptional.

But none of this would have been possible without the incredible support of our dedicated staff and suppliers. They have stood by us, embracing our vision and contributing their talents to make THE STAR a place we can all be proud of. Together, we’ve fostered a culture of warmth and hospitality, where every guest feels like part of our extended family.

As we raise a glass to mark this milestone, we extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey. To our patrons, old and new, your enthusiasm fuels our passion. To our staff and suppliers, you are the backbone of this establishment. And to each other, for sharing this adventure hand in hand.

Looking forward, the road ahead is brimming with possibilities. We have exciting plans in store – from special events, workshops and themed nights to collaborations with local artisans, suppliers and producers. Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, and we can’t wait to unveil what’s next at THE STAR.

So here’s to two years of memories, achievements, and growth. But more importantly, here’s to the future – to the many more years of joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments that lie ahead at THE STAR, West Leake.

We invite you to join us in celebrating this milestone. Raise a glass with us, reminisce about fond memories, and toast to the exciting chapters yet to be written.

Thank you for being part of our story.

Cheers,

Leah & Dave
