Heard the other day, have been in a few times since it reopened, John & Gee were very welcoming & the place was very clean & Covid controlled. They were planning to start food again... I was in Scarborough last month and he did the same there to the Golden Ball facing the harbour, went in Thursday tea time, he rocked up in the evening & pub was closed Friday.... Have had the misfortune to meet him a few times in the Dog, right swarmy scruffy b8stard.... he shouldn’t be allowed to do what he does. All landlords should unite, refuse to work for him & he would have to step down then... | ![](/images/avatars/22716.gif) |

Star Inn - Humphrey strikes again on 17:29 - Oct 7 with 4467 views | Dalenet | He owns the business and I guess he does what he wants. But given that in some areas the pub is now described as a community asset, councils could step in and make him reopen them. His ban on mobiles is interesting if he still does that. How does he manage the NHS track and trace system as patrons enter the premises? He is a bit two faced - wasn't he caught in the Wetherspoons in Heywood earlier this year having a pint and using his phone? A national newspaper ran the story. I do hope he hasn't taken any Government money to run Sam Smiths or pay his people during the pandemic. He is hardly giving his business the best chance financially with his behaviour | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

He did the same thing to a pub called the white horse in spalding, Lincolnshire. Was a great pub and great landlord and landlady, he screwed them and tends to have new management in every 6m or so or if they complain. Met him once and he is a nasty bastard. Beers is shite but cheap, but was a great pub once. | ![](/images/avatars/1161.gif) |

1. Who in their right mind closes a pub because his usual favorite fondant wasn't on the menu? 2. Who in their right mind would join that nut jobs pension scheme? | ![](/images/avatars/27040.gif) |

Star Inn - Humphrey strikes again on 22:10 - Oct 7 with 3789 views | TomRAFC | He's an unfathomable egomaniac. He owns countless nice locations and whilst the beer was never stunning it was at least a decent selection of traditional beer styles at a decent price (before the post lockdown price hike). Their swanky bottles of fruit beer, wheat beer and stouts are very nice but always overpriced to match. I remembering ordering a bottle of the chocolate stout for myself when it was my round before remembering they didn't take card. Try explaining the price of that round to the people with cash on them! I probably first went in the star when I was 16 and always liked the place. It was a good spot to sit and talk the night away before nipping to Youngs for a portion of crispy beef in garlic and chilli sauce to soak up the beer. Had the joy of doing just that a couple of months back and it was lovely to be able to do so again. It's genuinely sad to see it gone again and I can't imagine how the tenants must be feeling. The only time I ever saw Humph in person was in the star. It was a blazing hot summer's day and he was enforcing his new policy that the log fires should be burning at all times. Then again this is the man who insisted on closing before midnight on new year's eve. The phone ban never really mattered in the star as getting phone signal in there was rare to never. Always handy if you wanted a night out without being pestered. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

I’ve always loved the Star and it was on my pre and post-match crawl right up until it closed first time around. | ![](/images/avatars/1214.gif) |

Star Inn - Humphrey strikes again on 00:17 - Oct 8 with 3642 views | Sandyman | It is so weird. Tom nails The Star experience of old. After two years in mothballs, the place re-opens, after a pandemic lockdown, Covid-19 restrictions in place, customers who have drifted elsewhere and a massive hike in prices for not the best beer you will ever drink. The pub opens miraculously, and John and Gee are very welcoming, accommodating hosts doing their best in very difficult circumstances and anyone who has used the Star recently would not be able to fault the venue or its management. Yet, humph the **** turns up one evening expecting miracles to come out of nowhere (he must be a bury fan) and sacks the best thing that has happened to The Star in a while. His idiocy is legendary. When Kenny had The Royds, Humphrey turned up one night, and went ballistic at Kenny for having all these non Sam Smiths beers on the bar. Kenny pointed out the Royds wasn't a Sam Smiths pub or one he owned. Dumb Humph didn't even know! Just hope John and Gee are OK because they are good people and that the local community can get The Star back one day. | ![](/images/avatars/1453.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

" The Riflemans " and " The Alpine " up where I live are still closed and boarded up and he's even gone to the trouble of having several huge boulders placed across the entrance to the car park at " The Riflemans " to stop anybody using it ! Not that I can imagine anyone would want to with the pub closed. The car park at " The Alpine " is gated and always locked. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Actually we did on the wood cover over the pool table 😀😂, £1 a go who could get nearest the end without falling off.. It’s not a bad pub, has a reputation but that’s long gone now. Alternative is a taxi & not keen on the pubs in Norden anymore, wouldn’t be seen dead in Dogdale & barred from the Reform... Turf is twice the walk, I suppose it’s where your happy, safe, and with a good set of mates | ![](/images/avatars/22716.gif) |

Let's hope Humphrey doesn't get wind of such frivolous behaviour, it will be added to the list of proscribed activities. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
