Proving the old ways are the best, The Seven Stars is a quintessential English country pub in a quaint setting dating back to the early 16th century with great homemade food, real ales, and wine. The ambience is inviting friendly and warm thanks to the nature of the staff and the open fire that greets you.
There are pictures of The Seven Stars hanging in the bar the pub of the changes over the years.
One picture is of reverence to Ben Jonson 1572 – 1637 the first poet laureate once lived at nearby Swains Farm and was a close friend of William Shakespeare both famed for drinking bouts in various taverns. Jonson visited Shakespeare houses and there is every reason to suppose that Shakespeare made trips to Johnson abode at Swains Farm which is a mile away from The Seven Stars and was certainly in existence at that time.
There is an inscription which has been carefully preserved on the wall in the bar reads as follows:
‘’Gentleman, you are welcome
To sit down for your ease,
Pay what you call for
And drink what you please”
William Eades 1637
The pub was also a favourite of Donald Campbell the British speed record breaker who broke eight absolute world speed records on water and on land in the 1950s and 1960s in the bluebird. He lived in Abbotts in Leigh.
