Who we are

Tucked into the heart of Ringwood’s Market Place, The Star Inn has been a cornerstone of this charming New Forest market town for generations.

We’re a proper, traditional British pub. Think warm lighting, cosy corners, real ales and the kind of welcome that makes you feel at home from the moment you walk through the door.

But we like to think we offer something a little unexpected too.
