2000s: Flowing drink and cosy nooks- welcome to the perfect village pub!
It’s September and the new season is bringing change to the village of Little Monkham. Nessie has moved in with the lovely Owen and his son Luke, leaving her sister Sam next door in their renovated pub, the Star and Sixpence. But is all change for the good? Sam and Joss have gone their separate ways and he’s left Little Monkham for good.
New chef Gabriel Santiago is causing a flutter among the women of the village but Sam is determined not to make the same mistake again and keeps things strictly business between them. But an inconvenient attraction to Gabe is the least of Sam’s worries when an unexpected visitor arrives at the Star and Sixpence. Who is Laurie Marsh and what does he want from the sisters?
This place might be fictional but once you visit, you won’t want to leave! There’s a little fictional village in Shropshire called Little Monkham and at its heart is the Star and Sixpence pub. The pub changes over the novels as do the characters – in fact it’s these comings and goings that provide the magic and the walls of the pub hear and see it all.
We visit the pub throughout the seasons – from the heartwarming, cosy log fires and wide armchairs in the winter, to the open doors and posh lemonades in the summer. This pub is the heart and soul of the community. And it’s a small but happy community in Little Monkham.
Take it to your heart as it will take yours!
