The Star at Cotton in Staffordshire Moorlands

Thoroughly deserving of 5 stars! Everything was perfect, from the brilliant staff to the delicious food. Staff were so friendly, warm and welcoming and particularly lovely to my 18 month old. Menu had something for everyone, including a lovely children's menu. We had pork belly to start which was the best pork belly I've ever tasted, the mains were also delicious. Thank you very much we will definitely be coming again!

Forgot to take a picture of the main meal but the food was top quality, with fresh and local ingredients. Good beer and friendly staff. Can't wait to return on our next trip to Alton Towers. Would highly recommend!

Outstanding food, excellent service, absolutely wonderful - I would drive the hour and half from home just to eat here. Thanks you so much, 100% will come again ❤️

We have just spent a lovely afternoon in the Star, thank you so much to Ophelia for looking after us so well you made our birthday celebrations even more special! If you are ever in the area we would highly recommend a visit. 🥂

My favourite place for dining and socialising. Warm and inviting with the friendliest staff.The food is first class, nothing is too much trouble. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Sunday lunch spectacular.Warm and welcoming, me and 3 others came here for our Sunday lunch, we opted for the sharing platter £20PP, pricey for a Sunday lunch but worth every penny.It was essentially a Christmas dinner, extremely tasty with all trimmings, the cauli cheese, roast carrots and enormous yorkies were the stand outs but it was all delicious, the mince pies with cream were also some of the nicest I have had, this from a mince pie connoisseur.The staff are warm and welcoming, the decor is beautiful with the flowers hanging from the ceiling - excellent touch.

Excellent, The Star has some star chefs who can certainly cook, and some attentive staff to serve, busy place with great atmosphere, parking a bit tight 😬 but worth finding one. Thanks guys.

Really lovely staff and fantastic food. So much so we've been here three times in as many days.If you love burgers then the brisket burger is a must. It's off the chart. I couldn't get it out of my mind the next day and had it again that night. Incredible.The Star breakfast is also up there. Really tasty.Our daft dog was also welcome.Oh, and the background music was inspired. A great Motown playlist created a beautiful vibe.Brilliant. Well worth popping in if you're passing or camping nearby.

Beautiful food. Beautiful surroundings. Staff are cheerful and friendly. Catered brilliantly for my wife's dietary requirements. Would highly recommend.

*vegan options*Amazing! Honestly just go already 😊.Stayed just down the road from this pub while visiting alton towers. Very warm and welcoming and have a couple of vegan options that me and partner had. I had the vegan fish and chips and my girlfriend had vegan meat ball tagliatelle. Both were insanely good! Everything about this place just felt right. It's such a gem and you won't be disappointed.
