WICK
The Star Inn shines so brightly
What do you do when you’ve already got a successful restaurant
that demands a huge amount of your time and energy?
Easy, you open another one! Lisa Linton
and partner Shaun Fletcher don’t let the
grass grow under their feet. As soon as
they heard that The Star in Wick was
available, they jumped at the chance to
bring what was described many years
ago as ‘the place to go for food’ and
turned it into a gastro pub providing
good quality, reasonably priced food.
The Star needed a lot of work to bring
it up to standard and with a new
kitchen, new electrics, comfy sofas and
a real fire, plus complete redecoration,
the inn now has an inviting, cosy feel.
After trying out a couple of chefs who
didn’t work out, Shaun took over the
helm and they can now chart their
success from that point. With Shaun’s
passion for high quality dishes using
only the best locally sourced produce
and Lisa’s almost obsessive knowledge
of good wines, they complement each
other perfectly.
The Star is fast becoming a firm
favourite for local celebrities wanting
a quiet and relaxed ambience, far from
the madding crowds so don’t be
surprised if you see some familiar faces.
Their Sunday lunches have to be tasted
to be believed and have created a
following of their own. Here at Vale
Life we can certainly count ourselves
amongst The Star’s fans.
Shaun and Lisa’s dream of turning
The Star into a gastro pub worth
driving to, is a successful reality.
