My son and myself turned up on what turned out to be a busy Saturday evening, not pre-booked, and was immediately made to feel welcome by the owner. We were given a booking for dinner at the beginning of service and then enjoyed an excellent and superbly prepared meal. A slight hiccup with the steak was promptly and willingly put... More

Very good. Our welcome was very genuine and the service excellent. The choice of food was extensive and varied and it was of high quality and well presented. Certainly worth a visit.

A local Inn serving exceptionally good food, sourced locally, we have enjoyed some truly lovely meals here. How lucky we are to have this place so close to us! The service and attention to detail is impeccable, I find some other reviewers comments about Stanley the Bassett hound quite amazing as I have never found him to be a nuisance... More

A great little pub, service was excellent. The food was very good indeed, all very well cooked, piping hot and plenty of it. Not the cheapest place to eat but if your hungry give it a go!

We look forward to hopefully seeing you again and thank you very much for your great review. We really appreciate it. Kind... More

Our party of 7, including 3 children, visited this weekend and had a really memorable experience. The George manages to combine good food with still being a pub for its locals. However, what really marked the place out was the friendly welcome and constant banter from the staff. Our children were really made welcome and talked about the place all... More

Thank you so much for your great review and we are delighted that you and your family enjoyed your visit to us. I loved your children's comments about "being better than first class" and sometimes they can be tough critics so we are especially pleased to get such comments from them. I have also printed a copy of your review... More

Jane and the Team made my mum & dads 50th Wedding Anniversary one to remember. We booked up for 15 people around 2 months ago, Jane kept in contact through this time to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. We even asked at the last minute to change a few things on the menu and Jane was happy to... More

Wow what a fabulous review and thank you so much for taking the time to post it. To be part of such an important anniversary celebration, especially as your parents had had their actual wedding reception at The George 50 years previously, was a very special. I particuarly liked reminiscing with them both about how it all used to be... More

This place is totally spoilt by the owner's smelly dog which lumbers from table to table looking for scraps. Totally unhygenic and unacceptable. Haven't they heard of heatlh inspections ?

We are so sorry that you did not enjoy your visit to us and we have taken your comments on board about Stanley. It is a delicate area as he is such a part of our business, however, we have today booked him into the local beauty parlour and going forwards, on the rare occassion when he now visits The... More

Steph booked a meal here for my Birthday. I have never had a greeting at a pub restaurant like it, such a warm welcome by the proprietor. Throughout the evening the service was exceptional. Shortly after our starter we were greeted by ‘Stanley’ the resident Basset Hound. He is very friendly and it made a nice change to have something... More

Not really a drinking pub - but a good food pub. The owners' basset hound certainly looks like it enjoys the food!
