š„ WEāRE COMING BACK š„
We temporarily closed while the roadworks made trading unsustainable and led to wasted fresh stock ā a tough but necessary decision for an independent business.
Now weāre nearly readyā¦
š Smokinā Jackās is preparing to reopen with all-new pizza delivery & takeaway.
Got this comment today, and it honestly stopped me for a moment. ā¤ļø
We donāt often talk about whatās gone on behind the scenes with this place.
When we first took this venue on, the pressure and unexpected costs nearly broke us before we even opened the doors. Then COVID hit, our baby was poorly, the hours were mad⦠and we definitely havenāt always got everything right. Weāve made mistakes learning as we go, like anyone would.
But one thing has always stayed the same:
we want people to come here, relax, have a laugh, and enjoy proper food thatās made in-house with care.
Smokinā Jackās has never been about being serious.
Itās about a fun, quirky, slightly crazy night out, with food that tastes good and is made from scratch. We make the sauces, the buns, the rubs, the meats. everything we can. Sometimes we even run out because we havenāt made enough, but thatās because itās all handmade.
Weāre not perfect, but we care.
And comments like this remind us exactly why we keep going.

We opened The Star Inn in December 2017 after it had been closed for several months.
We only had a little experience in managing pubs and bars but never running one, so it was a real challenge.
We made some mistakes but we also overcome some obstacles too!
In August of 2018 we purchased the freehold to the pub. Since then we have been learning from the mistakes we made while we were a tenanted pub and making improvements.
We have recently taken on an award winning chef and we looking forward to the future, where we will start to improve the look of the pub and drive it into the 21st century.
We have a great team who have the same passion for our pub as we do. Our bartenders have been trained to pour you the perfect pint with exceptional service and attention to detail this is including our extensive range of spirits, great real ales and exceptional wines from all over the world. We have also taken our eye for attention to detail to our kitchen where our award winning head chef has created an exceptional menu with exceptional local ingredients and will be served with an eye on detail our food deserves, so that all the dishes we serve look as good as they taste. We will also update our menu every three monthās so we can make the most of our islandās seasonal produce.
We know this pub has had a turbulent past with some great highās but also some lowās. We hope that you will give this great pub in the beautiful village of Wroxall on the Isle of Wight a chance to thrive and become the great pub it once was.
Thank you
Terry, Toni
And to our staff we thank you all for making The Star Inn what it has become today.
