No village is complete without a fine hostelry and The Star Inn (01291 650256) has been a hub of community life for centuries. The Star has also attracted visitors from far and wide. One of the most famous visitors to the Star was John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. On a snowy evening in February 1748, Wesley rode from Chepstow and stayed the night in “a good but small inn”, the Star in Llanfihangel tor y Mynydd.
In the the more recent past, the Star was a thriving centre of the community and was well known for its landlord and landlady, Alan and Liz Evans, leading the customers in lively chorus of traditional songs and the resulting vibrant atmosphere. A group of locals, along with the original landlord (Alan Evans), have put together a list of songs that they sang, which can be read here. Historically the Star Inn also offered a base for groups such as the Loyal & Ancient Order of Shepherds, a nineteenth century friendly society.
Today The Star On The HIll is now run by landlord Adam Fowler along with his young vibrant team and forward looking ideas they are breathing new life into this fine hostelry. Today, it welcomes all, for fine food, real ales and to enjoy the gardens, outdoor bar and a great childrens play area.
