StarBistro blog: Great food that does good
Our StarBistros serve some of the finest food from the Cotswolds, and over the years we’ve built great relationships with local suppliers, created some truly amazing dishes and taken full advantage of deliciously seasonal produce. Along the way we’ve supported National Star College learners to gain real work experience both in our kitchens and front of house, preparing them for a future full of new possibilities. We’ve got a lot of knowledge, experience, recipes, ideas and tips that we’d like to share. If you’re interested, please take a look at our blog!
