   Nice venue, pleasant staff. Beautifully light batter on the fish. Only downside was they had no ordinary breakfast tea!!

   Waited ages for food to be served. Told the fryers hadn’t been switched on. Changed the starter to poor value bread / hummus starters instead of Calamari. No apologies for the wait nor offer of free starter for the inconvenience. Mains were even poorer than the stater - veg cold, beef was very fatty and chewy (not edible) the mushroom pies were shop bought not homemade. We definitely won’t be coming back to the George as its food is substandard.

   Upon entering it was good to see the bar area buzzing, really busy, we ordered drinks and were shown to our table, ordered our food within 10-15 minutes and the starters arrived about 15 minutes later, at which point we asked for another round of drinks, starters were good,, thoroughly enjoyed, plates were collected and mains arrived about 15 minutes later, ,at which point we said we were still waiting on drinks, we were asked if we would like any sauces and our server went off to get them, we had almost finished our meal and still no drinks, or sauces, yes we could have gone to the bar to get them but then our meal would have got cold! My husband got the attention of a member of staff and said we were still waiting on sauces and drinks, he said not to bother about the sauces as we had finished our meal! but we were gasping for a drink, we received an apology and the drinks arrived, bit too late! However would I return? Yes I would, , food was really good, although service lacking, but I believe everyone deserves a second chance😊

   The George is a friendly pub with a warm atmosphere, attractive inside with a lovely fire and outside seating in summer which is lovely. The Supper Club Menu offers great value, generous portions and interesting choices. £21 for 2 courses, £26 for 3 and a wine deal if you are two dining.

   Would nice to be welcomed by the manager or at least thanked and said goodbye instead of just sitting at the bar!

   Not our first visit here for a Sunday lunch and usually a favourite in the area. Sadly the meat on the Sunday roast was poor this time, overcooked, lots of little bits and not much of it. Also that staff who have been great previously just weren’t on point. They took over 35 mins to clear our plates after we’d finished (also other tables around us with empty plates) yet when I walked past the staff area with the tills and menus on my way to the toilets they were chatting and eating in there, quickly trying to hide the spoon when they spotted me. It’s as if the management were in a day off and the standards had dropped sadly

   Dear Mark, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn't meet the high standards you've come to expect from us. We appreciate your loyalty and are disappointed to learn about the issues with your Sunday roast and the service. Your comments regarding the overcooked meat and the delay in clearing plates have been noted, and we will address these with our team to ensure improvements are made. We strive to provide excellent service and quality food consistently, and it's clear we fell short on this occasion. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it up to you in the future.

   Good food, good beer, good service, great looking pub - but cold! On a day where it's less than 5C outside the heating (radiators) should be on, the log fires don't supply enough heating for the pub. Therefore after being in there for 2 hrs for drinks and food, we left feeling cold which made it disappointing. Will only go back in the warmer weather.

   Lovely meal in very pleasant dining area. Despite being very busy with a pre-booked party of 30 the staff were plentiful and extremely attentive and meals brought out very swiftly. Lovely atmosphere and vibe. The food and drinks were all excellent, just the right amounts and good value. Will return again soon
