We had a bad experience at The George after the pandemic. So thought we would try again as we live locally. This time was fantastic with great food and service and it is so beautifully decorated. Our lovely Spanish waiter made us feel very spoilt, especially as this was our Ruby Anniversary. We will be back.

Welcoming, warm on a freezing cold day, excellent staff from cloakroom to front of house. Attentive, but not overbearing. Made us feel very special. Food appealed to all 4 of us and was enjoyed. Relaxing, not rushed. Overall, a great experience and can’t wait to go back.

Celebrating a family birthday, this turned out to be a perfect destination. From entering and receiving a warm welcome, we were given a seasonal menu and comprehensive wine list. We started with a cocktail, an alcohol free cocktail for the driver of the party, and free amuse-bouche. We ordered starters; wild chanterelle mushrooms on sourdough, a beetroot and goats cheese starter, and a lobster risoni, all delicious. Mains were Dover sole, and two Guinea fowl… perfect. One of the party was gluten free and felt confident and catered for. Can’t recommend it enough.
