Chelveston

Welcome to The Heart of the Village – The Star and Garter in Chelveston, Northamptonshire

We’re proud to introduce the newly reimagined village pub — brought back to life by the people, for the people. Owned by five local villages, this dog friendly pub is more than just a place to grab a pint — it’s a community hub with everything that makes village life special.

Following a thoughtful refurbishment, we’ve created a warm, welcoming space where everyone feels at home. Whether you're here for a quiet drink, a catch-up with friends, or one of our upcoming events, we can’t wait to welcome you.

We’ve made sure The Star and Garter is as family-friendly as it is community-minded — baby changing stations are available in our bathrooms, and we love to see your four-legged companions join the fun.

A brand-new menu is on the way. Keep an eye on our social media for the latest updates — exciting things are brewing!
