The Starman

Tucked along Heddon Street, just off Regent Street in Mayfair, The Starman channels a slice of music folklore into a modern pub and restaurant. It stands where David Bowie struck the pose for Ziggy Stardust, and inside the tributes are subtle yet knowing - including, below stairs, a replica of the famous K. West sign.

On the plate, British pub comfort finds fresh momentum. A scotch egg with nduja dip and pickled coleslaw lands with tang and spice, triple-cooked chunky chips with Parmesan and truffle mayo deliver irresistible crunch, and battered fish and triple-cooked house chips keep things classic. Neapolitan pizzas bring char and chew, from a margherita favourite to a vegan nduja and burrata number, while sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble close the curtain with old-school charm.

Glasses clink with crisp draughts and easy-drinking wines, while the bar’s creative streak shines in signatures like the Somerset Fizz and Melon Daiquiri alongside well-made classics from Espresso Martini to Margarita. By day, indoor booths and outdoor tables suit West End people-watching; as night falls, live DJs set the tone and the cosy cocktail bar downstairs hums with an intimate, after-hours glow.

Swing by for a leisurely bite or plot a late one below stairs. Book a spot and let your evening gather a little stardust.
