🍴 Food & Lounge Experience

Expect hearty, high-quality buffet food — from roast meats to dessert options — served in a friendly lounge that celebrates Aston Villa heritage. Pre-match drinks flow easily, and the lounge vibe is social and energetic without feeling formal.

🪑 Seating & View

Guests enjoy padded seats in the Upper North Stand with a fantastic view of the pitch. The seating is close to the action and the atmosphere is immersive — a great blend of premium comfort and football energy.

🗣️ Our Verdict

“The Star & Lion is one of Villa Park’s best kept secrets — excellent food, great seats and a brilliant match view for under £150 on some fixtures. Although it doesn't offer the unlimited drinks that lower Grounds does. The seats make up for it and the upgrade in food”

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 5/5 for Value & Atmosphere
