“Traditional and Homely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We had read several reports about meals at The George, all complimentary, and we were not disappointed.We were continuing our journey around the Northants region sampling old-style country pub lunches. The welcome we received from the landlady (Margaret?) was warm and friendly, the interior of the pub was warm and traditional. There was an average sized, well equipped bar area, tables and chairs for around 20 patrons, and a separate well laid out dining area, or restaurant. We elected to eat in the bar area which was about half full of customers. There were a couple of menus to choose from, comprising a decent a-la-carte selection, and a Pub Lunch selection. Plus the obligatory black-board specials. Our drinks order was brought along promptly, we ordered our meals from the Pub Lunch selection, and these soon appeared. Good sized plates-full, piping hot, and well presented. The "Posh Sausage" selection (3 different flavors, hand made and tied supplied from a local butcher), served with spring-onion mash, peas, and gravy, was a delight. The locally made "Savoury Ducks" (Trip Advisor web-site won't accept the correct English word F****ts), with spring-onion mash, mushy peas, didn't quite meet expectations, probably because remembrance of those eaten in the past is a subjective one. No reflection on the cook!
We finished up sharing a slice of warm chocolate fudge cake with chocolate sauce and cream, this was delicious. And we would have no hesitation in returning to The George to sample their full a-la-carte menu in the restaurant.

“Great Place to meet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

We (husband, eldest son and grandsons) live in Rugeley, Staffordshire and my youngest son, wife and grandaughter live in Ramsey St Marys, Cambridgeshire. We chose this pub because it was half way between the two places. Our choice turned out to be good - staff and service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them. We look forward to meeting there again. Thanks - Anita

“A Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

We found this pub on our Tastecard list and decided to use it for Sunday lunch en route to Nottingham. Well what a find! Not only did they do a Sunday roast but had a full lunch menu also. The welcome was warm and the ambiance in the dining roon was first class. Tables neatly laid and absolutley spotless. Glassware on the table sparkling. I opted for the hand tied pork sausages with spring onion mashed potato (champ) whilst my partner had Devon dressed crab. The food was spectacular. Do not need to say that it is thoroughly recommended. A true gem of a place.

Had Sunday lunch and went for the special offer - Roast Pork (or Beef) plus starter and dessert for £12.50.

Excellent fresh food served by really friendly people. The restaurant was full and had a good buzz about it.
