We stayed here for one night in March. We arrived very late in the evening and were met with a very friendly welcome, which was much appreciated after a 4 hr drive. Our newly refurbished room was delightful and the ensuite clean, modern and stylish. The all inc breakfast was good quality and cooked perfectly - we enjoyed it outside... More

Having had a bit of bad experience last rime around, we decided to give this old favourite another go and were very glad that we did. Despite the fact that they were very busy, service was efficient and attentive, (as well as friendly). We both really enjoyed a delicious smoked mackrel salad starter and for mains I had a really...

I decided to surprise my wife on Valentines day and book a night at The George. ( We have also booked with friends for later in the year so it would give us an idea what to expect ). On arrival we were offered a drink from the bar and taken to our room. We had room 1 which overlooked... More

3 of us dined at The George for the first time. The menu is not extensive but for me that is a good thing as it usually means the emphasis is on quality not quantity. We were not disappointed. 2 of us had the beef fillet which was done to perfection and the lamb was excellent. The restaurant was reasonably... More

We had been fans of this place for a long time, but our last visit was an absolute nightmare. Firstly we were sat in the hallway, secondly they managed to serve one of our mains as the wrong dish, so took both away and then eventually came back with mine that had been kept warm and was now like greasy...

I am very sorry that you feel this way. My colleague contacted your partner as she knows her from the village to address your concerns. She explained about the risotto that accompanies the monkfish dish. The risotto nero pave is made with squid ink, giving it a unique deep black colour and flavour, it is set and then pan fried,...

A perfect English countryside getaway! We loved our night in this beautiful old inn with tastefully decorated and renovated large rooms. A delight. We stayed one night with our four children and will definitely be back. From the personalized service and warm welcome to the absolutely delicious and hearty breakfast, every aspect of our stay was perfect. I would definitely... More

I had booked a table for 4 of us after the Fireworks display held on Cavendish Green on Guy Fawkes night. The place was really busy but we were still greeted personally on arrival and shown through to the bar for pre-dinner drinks This was the first lovely surprise - a delicious spicy mulled wine had been prepared to warm...

We usually visit The George twice a year. We drive from London, just to stay and eat at this fabulous place, it is a little piece of heaven just over 2 hours drive away. However, we almost changed our minds this time after reading the negative comments from Jane T. We decided to give it the benefit of the doubt... More

Having read your review, I feel sad, disappointed and a little surprised. I am sorry that you didn't enjoy your meal with us and if I may, I would like to comment on a couple of points raised in the review. The braised shin of beef is a slow cooked dish, which aside from the initial seasoning of the meat,... More
