The Star is a buzzing, much loved local with a big personality. It is the kind of pub where great memories are made, whether you’re here for the big match, a lively weekend or a relaxed pint with friends.

Investment

Recently enhanced through Punch’s Spark investment programme, The Star has benefitted from refreshed spaces, upgraded tech, and improved entertainment capability, making it ready for a new operator to take it to the next level.

Pub

Stepping through the doors instantly gives that “home from home” feeling. You’ll enter a cosy bar from the car park, complete with seating, AWP machines and large‑screen TVs showing all major sporting events.

The games area, to the left, provides a raised zone with darts and a pool table with views over the spacious beer garden.

Guests love the generous, L‑shaped lounge with multiple TVs and a raised area perfect for hosting entertainment, live music and events.

Sunday Roasts are the current mainstay, but there is also the opportunity to widen and experiment with the food offer using the fully equipped kitchen.

Guests also love the pub garden, a standout feature with a large, enclosed, impressive outdoor space offering endless potential for events, family days or community gatherings.

Location

Situated in Mansfield Woodhouse, just on the outskirts of Mansfield, The Star sits within a well‑connected area which is rich in history and community spirit. Mansfield offers fast access to Nottingham, Sheffield, and Derby, and benefits from nearby green spaces such as Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Pines.

Residents enjoy a blend of town convenience and countryside charm, supported by strong local amenities, good schools, and cultural attractions such as The Palace Theatre and The Old Library. With Mansfield Town FC nearby at Field Mill, the area draws strong local support on match days, giving a community pub like The Star plenty of opportunity to thrive.

Accommodation

This pub has three bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge.

Ideal Operator

The Star is perfect for an energetic, community‑minded operator with a passion for sport and entertainment. You’ll create a warm welcome and bring the best out of the pub’s lively personality, supported by extremely competitive drinks pricing, a fully equipped kitchen and a fantastic in‑house system offering music, quizzes, bingo, karaoke and interactive darts.

Strong social media skills will help drive footfall and promote events, while your ability to foster community spirit will make The Star a true local favourite.
