About This Pub
Ah, The Star & Garter – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a proper local gem in Wigston, you know? From what folks are saying, it's got this fantastic family-friendly atmosphere where the staff bend over backwards to make you feel at home, and they've nailed the whole events thing with skittles nights, meat raffles, and even Christmas do's that sound like a right laugh. I love how it's set up for groups, with plenty of space inside and out, plus some decent grub like those fresh salad platters that hit the spot on a warm evening. It's earned that 4.2 rating for good reason, with most people raving about the welcoming feel and how it's become a go-to for community vibes. But, to be fair, it's not all perfect – there have been a few mentions of some regulars getting a bit carried away and making things uncomfortable, which is a shame because it could sour an otherwise great visit. Still, if you're after a relaxed spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a bit of sport on the telly, I'd say it's worth a punt, just maybe pop in on a quieter night to get the best of it.

Recent Reviews
I was really impressed how it was presented and how how food was provided when we had a beer and skittles evening will definitely recommend
One of the regulars decided to be very uncouth and spout his opinion when not asked and made the visit very uncomfortable......very nice environment in the pub and very good staff just a shame about some of the regulars that can't hold their beer.
By far the best pub in Wigston. Sundays throughout December have been absolutely fantastic, meat raffles, the yearly christmas raffle, fantastic family atmostphere and the kids absolutely loved it. Massive thankyou to Debbie and Darren and all the staff!
First time in this pub, what great place, friendliness was amazing, they made us feel very special, great family pub, definitely go back. Also great for sport with TVs. The people who run it could not make you more welcome, thank you Star and Grater, see you again soon
We had a family skittles evening of 20 cousins.
This skittle alley was great with table and chairs for us all. On top of that we had our own lounge area AND our own outside area with lots of table and chairs. It was a beautiful sunny evening.
We had a cold salad platter and fruit salad, deeeelish. Plentiful too. There was hot menus too.
Excellent! We will be back next year for another cousins reunion.
