Looking for somewhere brimming with character and charm to host your event near Oxford? Well, let us introduce you to The Star Inn, nestled in the hearty of the beautiful village of Sparsholt. Built in 1720, the buildings historic features have been sympathetically protected and uplifted with chic but timeless decor. From the exposed wooden beams overhead to the large windows which flood the space with light, the building's Georgian bones are just one of the things that make it a beautiful place to be.
All types of events are welcome here, from birthday parties and corporate events to wedding breakfasts, and you're more than welcome to speak to the team about booking a large table in the main room. However, if you'd like an exclusive space to call your own for the night, check out the refurbished private dining room. This sophisticated space boasts neutral-toned walls, mid-century style seating and wooden wall panelling with atmospheric lighting to boot.
Here, you can host 30 guests seated or up to 45 standing and is available for lunches and dinners. Catering is provided in house and the team are passionate about crafting dishes which show off the best of British, always focusing on seasonality and locality first and foremost.
While your event's menu can be created bespoke just for you, why not check out the sample a la carte menus online to get an idea of what to expect? We like the sound of the slow cooked beef cheek with smoked cheese crumb, horseradish mash, red onion marmalade and broccoli, or the roasted pollock with winter vegetable fish chowder, wilted kale and lemon.
If you need accomodation for those guests travelling from around the country, The Star Inn also offers a selection of boutique bedrooms in a converted barn just next to the main restaurant. An easy walk back after a fantastic night!
