George Hotel in High Peak - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I can honestly say I’ve never had food so badly cooked. Pork belly to start which was very hard and no crackling whatsoever. I had gammon which was extremely thin and cooked so much it was like shoe leather. The egg on top had suffered a similar fete, the white beyond crispy and the yolk solid. The chips in all fairness were ok and luckily the peas hadn’t suffered the same outcome as the gammon and the egg. The drinks and service were good though and the lady serving was lovely. Give the food a miss but enjoy a drink.

We enjoyed a nice lunch at the George today. Danny was very friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely return soon to try the new menu

BEWARE!! I stopped here drawn in by a sign on the main road promising great food. It was lunchtime so I diverted into the village and found the hotel car park. I had an adequate but not spectacular lunch. The sting in the tale was that ten days afterwards I received a Penalty Charge Notice in the post requiring a payment of £100 for parking there unauthorised (£60 for prompt payment). Nowhere in the car park did I see any warning, and nor did the bar staff alert me though it must have been obvious I was not local. I don’t expect to be charged for parking at the place where I am eating. It seems to me a bit disgraceful. Needless to say, I shall not be returning!

Friendly , spacious and had parking. Cute location and good for Peak District walking. Tv’s in rooms had netflix, would stay again. Good value for money.

stayed here for a business stay over and the place is lovely really good prices i believe the gentleman that dealt with me was graham he was amazing and very chatty. i would 100% use the same place again as staff make you feel so welcome

Can tell you how happy I was we went for a family meal as the weather was fantastic and we were served by Graham. Service was fantastic from him credit to the business and the food was fantastic. Must visit location

Had a lovely meal here a few weeks ago , stayed for the quiz amazing as usual great atmospere, great staff always smiling even when super busy

Lovely little pub, called in for a family lunch, they were short staffed but the bar tender / cook were all over it ! Welcoming with a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, highly recommend!

Hayfield hospitality in decline! Quick family lunch proved to be really disappointing. Options have seriously diminished in the area since COVID forced random opening times and the closure of the Royal. We popped into the George for a quick lunch following a walk on the glorious Sett Valley Trail. So two main observations A) Price - £18.99 for the chiefs speciality, steak pie with chips and peas, £7.99 for loaded potatoes skins . I know that the Pack Horse has upped the anti from a gourmet perspective with prices to reflect, by this is a boozer not a gastro pub! Which gets me to b) this was seriously poor quality! The £18.99 special was a slice of pie that looked like it was from costcutter. Loaded skins were basically a small potato cut in half with a dollop of ‘stuff’ on it. We order a bolognaise that arrive basically lacking any form of bolognaise as it was just pasta and tomato. All so poor, which is such a shame as it could have been so different and it’s a nice pub. The lad behind the bar tried so hard and agreed a refund for the bolognaise free bolognaise! The kitchen really let him down. Please someone invest in Hayfield and revive its ‘value for money ‘ fortune!

Doug was a fantastic host smiling friendly and made us feel welcome immediately . His food was amazing really warm and tasty could t fault it . I had the veg lasagne others had beef bourginon absolutely gorgeous . the staff are so lovely and nothing is a problem great service lovely warm building room 9 perfect television cable kettle tea coffee biscuits hairdryer iron towels really comfy bed can’t fault the room and can’t fault the George will defo be returning . And the breakfast topped it off 10/10

Had the lasagna and it was ok , I ate it because i was so hungry. The size was so small and looked like a meal you get get from your local supermarket. It said it came with garlic bread but my meal arrived with no garlic bread. You are not allowed in the main room with dogs or muddy boots . When i have been before which I admit was last year it was excellent. Was allowed in all major rooms. Guy on his phone all the time. We were going to go to the sportsman In Hayfield and we wish we had. Its a village that is visited by walkers and their dogs and sadly this pub just puts you in a side room.. Very expensive as well

Had a really well cooked Sunday lunch today. We both thought the meal was excellent. Friendly staff and was really well looked after by Ben.Looking forward to returning.

Came to the Geroge after a long walk for a bite to eat and a drink. We ordered the steak and ale pie, and a pizza. The pizza was described as a ‘sourdough base’ but could not have been further from the truth. The pizza came and the dough was completely raw, inedible. They apologised and cooked the pizza again. Second time around it was still awful. The dough had no bite to it and was grainy. It was the saddest pizza I have had in a long time, even a supermarket frozen pizza would have far surpassed the quality. As for the pie, flavour was OK, however the pastry was also raw. The whole thing just looked like it had been heated up from frozen. £17 for the pie and £13 for the pizza was outrageous for the quality of food received. Save your cash and head elsewhere.

Lovely surroundings the lovely roaring log fire was extremely welcoming away from the cold with a lovely glass of Mulled cider Had the burger which was amazing and very filling but couldn't resist a baileys cheesecake to follow .the staff very friendly and attentive . My husband and I are already planning a return trip in the summer

Another walk around Hayfield and another wonderful meal, the staff were welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed Irish Stew and washed it down with a pint of Guinness. Too full to have a pudding but will be back to try a deep filled apple pie. I recommend giving this place a go, you won’t be disappointed.

Beautiful Sunday lunch excellent service. Staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was exceptional I will be back

The Sunday Carvery was excellent! Great value and fantastic portions. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially with the kids. We will be back...

Had a two night stay. very friendly and professional reception in the bar when we arrived from Ben, booked us into the car park and showed us to our room and advised on food and bar etc. Enjoyed meals in the bar both nights, all served by friendly staff. Breakfast first morning was unfortunately not available due to unforeseen gas problem, Ben informed us immediately and offered to recompense us very generously, we agreed to take part of the offer happily. Breakfast second morning was traditional English which was very nice. WE joined in a speed quiz in the bar Thursday night which was great fun, all done by phone to eliminate all those that google answers. The host was excellent and prizes generous with profits going to KIndle Scout mountain rescue, our best hope was to be last and win booby couple of drinks, alas we were not last. Great friendly pub.

Had the George chef special, it was the smallest piece of pie I’ve ever had, half a plate of chips, 1/4 plate of pea’s and less than 1/4 plate of pie, which was dry around on the edges and very thick pastry and all for£17, did eat it because I was hungry, will definitely not return

My wife and I have just spent 2 nights 3 day's at the George Hotel celebrating are Anniversary. It is a great place to stay if you're exploring the Peaks and Dales. Ben and the Team take great care of you so you can enjoy your stay in comfort. The bedrooms are cozy and warm, clean, tidy with a great shower. The Food is excellent 👌 The beers are well kept and excellent 👌 We would highly recommend The George to anyone visiting the Dales.

A good value budget hotel, with decent breakfast, efficiently served Room was good. A big minus was that I took advantage of the adjacent private car park, free to hotel visitors. I received a parking fine! I had asked reception to enter my car regn. into the parking e-system but they failed to do so. So far my appeal against this fine has been unsuccessful.

We went to The George for a family celebration on Saturday. The staff treated us fantastically and made us feel very welcome even though there were 18 of us aged between 0 and 90! Traditional pub food and a roaring fire.

Spent a great evening in The George, a group of 23 of us celebrating a 50th birthday! Doug and Ben were excellent hosts and even organised a complimentary birthday cake! They really couldn’t have done anything more to ensure we all had a fabulous night. Thank you!

The George Hotel Hadfield. Food arrived & hubbies sausage & mash portion was so small for £14.50. 3 sausages & bit of mash & gravy. We queried if anything else was to come, like vegetables & was informed that nothing else was to come with it (although peas was described on the menu) No manager available to talk to. Eventually I had finished my own meal by the time the lady behind the bar came to speak to my husband. Again we queried the portion & the fact that no vegetables had been included. She said that they were vegan sausages my husband had received & that peas should have been included. At this point, I had finished my food. The lady said she would get the kitchen staff to cook the actual dish that we had ordered. 30 minutes later the lady said it’s on its way. 12 minutes later the meat sausages, mash & gravy arrived, without peas. Was informed peas were on the way. 6 minutes later fine green beans arrived (no mention of the vegetable would be different). So in total my husbands total food arrived 48 minutes after I had finished my meal. No offer of a complimentary drink as an apology, in fact no apology of any kind. We come to this area for regular walks but will not eat here again or recommend to friends & family to eat here.

The service is great from Ben and his dad the room housekeeping was shocking breakfast was not good evening meal was worse. The location is good for Bakewell Buxton in car needs alot of work to make it better than it is food needs a big improvement housekeeping needs new staff who actually care about customers

High priced food, small portions, staff disinterested, (not pleasant when you here a voice saying "just take the plates away" whilst family member is still eating!) Obviously poorly managed as it was late 1910Hrs.

So needed pit stop on way to Bakewell such great customer service lovely lovely sandwiches and drinks home made bread ! Rhubarb the dog also well looked after fresh water treats and cuddles , menu very extensive if wanting a bigger and the village is delightful

A characterful old stone building in a characterful old stone village. The interior is mainly half timbered which gives away its history, and it offers some splendid stained glass windows. The pub downstairs is frequented by locals and tourists alike, and feels authentic. The hotel upstairs seems to be mainly used by hikers to nearby Kinder Scout. We stayed the night and ate lunch the next day joined by family, and were looked after admirably by Sara (the landlady…?) and her team. Sara is a lady who understands hospitality - she gets it that the idea is to have guests leave having had a good time and feeling they have been cared for and been valued. She was happy to organise a slightly later checkout for us which we hugely appreciated, and her service throughout our stay was just right. Meanwhile our room was comfortable though admittedly quite straightforward in its facilities. There was a tea / coffee station in-room, and a tv and en-suite shower, but little else. The bed was perhaps a tiny bit narrow for a double, but perfectly comfortable enough. We were happy to forego the bells & whistles for a very reasonable price and that excellent hospitality. We’ll be back when we’re next in Hayfield.

We have just had the most superb meal at The George Hotel, Hayfield. This was one of the pub 'specials' and was the roast beef dinner with all trimmings. The staff kept us informed about waiting times and were most attentive at what was a very busy time of the evening. The meal was superb. There were large slices of beef with mash and roast potatoes. The vegetables were perfect and there was Yorkshire pudding and sauces. I can recommend this pub as being fine cuisine at a reasonable cost. Four of us ate for around £90 and this was with a nice bottle of Merlot. EXCELLENT.

Called for food. Food was good. Service excellent. Was served by Sara who was lovely and helpful. Nice atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

My wife and I called in today for an Anniversary lunch, was made to feel very welcome by Beth who was very friendly as were all staff. My wife had the fishcake and Profiteroles for sweet and was very impressed with the standard of the food as was I. Very quick service, my sandwich was amazing and we will definitely return, definitely recommend this lovely pub.

Visited tonight with a friend having heard good reviews. Wasn’t disappointed and will definitely visit again. We ordered a selection of starters to share and desserts followed by coffee. Food was great and reasonably priced too. Service (Thank you Beth) was really good. Friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and we were suitably impressed.😀

Stayed here for my wife's birthday and had a great stay. Great location for the Peak District and they did a great breakfast all at a very reasonable price

Rooms tired. Not cleaned well. Carpets need hoovering. Bedside lamps thick with dust. Dirty cups, asked 3 times for clean ones, none provided. No shower gel, didn't bring any as said it was provided. Asked 3 times but none appeared, had to use shampoo. Black mould in shower. Breakfast not great, sausages undercooked, ran out of bacon. I've never known a b&b run out of bacon. Ate first night, food not great. After 1st night no fresh towels, bed not made, no replenish of tea, coffee, etc. Noone around when we tried to check out. We won't be back.

Ok it’s a pub/dining with rooms . Pub area needs some tlc , all a bit tired. Stayed a couple of nights whilst exploring the area. Room seemed recently renovated and was fine. Nice breakfast cooked by the gaffer although non cooked choices a bit limited. Evening bar staff young and not really engaged with customers (laptop focussed) All in all ok for a short stay.

Friendly staff and good beer. We arrived just after they had finished serving food and everywhere else in the village was closed. However they very kindly agreed to make pizzas for us which were very good

Lovely food well prepared and caringly served by polite and helpful staff in a ‘real pub’ surroundings. There was a great selection of beers and wines and the food menu was comprehensive but not your run of the mill pub food but food prepared with thought and care. We will return

Came last night V I P lovley welcome food was lovely nice and hot and very tasty. Staff were wonderful will be coming again soon with my friends keep up the good work

Well, we tried The George tonight with an open mind as there have been mixed opinions. There was a complimentary starter and dessert as a promotion to drum up custom. Fair go. The starters were good, the mains ok, but the desserts somewhat underwhelming (to...

Been here before and decided to re-visit, and we are glad we did. The food has changed but was amazing, hot tasteful and plentiful. The staff were so accommodating moving us to a lower floor room and carrying our bags. the room had everything we...

We booked a room after walking in hope, as a last minute getaway, literally the same afternoon. Absolutely brilliant service, rooms were clean and tidy, food was excellent, I had Garlic Mushrooms starter, beautiful, and steak and ale pie which again was excellent. We had...

Wonderful family run hotel, lovely welcome , made to feel like a local. Superb food . Nothing was to much trouble. Will definitely be back.

The hotel was very cosy and welcoming. The landlord made us feel welcome from when we stepped through the door. We could even get in our room earlier than the specified time which was a bonus. The room was lovely and warm, clean and tidy....

Sad to see this once great little find has gone very downhill! The menu is limited and boring. The food isn’t up to standard. We stayed here this time and the room was a real let down. We weren’t expecting the ritz, but we did...

Used to come here alot with our walking group but not anymore.They used to have a great menu with a lighter option for smaller appetites but its woeful now! Since the latest owners have taken over its been appalling! The Sunday roast had mould in...

Good beer and great meal sat in front of a roaring coal fire at a good price, what’s not to like? There’s a good menu and a changing specials board. Staff very friendly and helpful. This place also welcomes pets. Anywhere but the kitchen we...

Desperately disappointed with our meal last eve. Why the menu has to change from being a winner to complete opposite. What s described on the menu isn't what you get. Cheap catering sausage, not locally sourced sausage ,powdered mash with no sign of any cabbage...

Had a late lunch and a beer here with my Wife while we were away for a couple of days, lovely quant old pub with a good size car park, I had lamb shank and veg/mash, wife had Steak ale pie with mash n mushy...

Staff was very rude and customer service is terrible. They had zero interest in serving us in the restaurant because we were tourist or because we didn't stay in the hotel. By asking we found out that it was possible to get takeaway pizzas and...

Visited here many times, never again. Rude staff when asked about a table for 8, there are polite ways to say there is no availability. We spent our £240 in the Italian instead - after Covid I would have thought businesses would be bending over...

We stayed here for 2 nights in a very nice double room above the pub. I cannot speak too highly of this place. The room was clean, well-appointed, comfortable bed and everything worked! The breakfast was one of the best we have had in pub...

This was the only place I could get vegan food on a Monday evening and I had the only vegan option - curry. It was fine, just very bland.

Very disappointed with our latest visit to The George today for a number of reasons. We had the roast beef dinner, the beef was very chewy and grisly which we couldn’t eat so took home for the dogs, the mash was more like crushed potatoes,...

We went today for the first time from a recommendation. The girls serving us were quite miserable & lacked in customer-facing skills. The Guinness & Black had far too much blackcurrant in, so spoilt the drink slightly. My salmon main was nice. The standout today...

Read the earlier reviews and thought it best to stick to steak. The others had the hickory chicken special. We all agreed food was good, staff were pleasant and offered to get more drinks for us so we didn't have to go to the bar....

All good for a solid Monday night meal Lots of choice so stuck with specials and steak. All very acceptable and service good

Have just had a lovely meal with friends. Steak was Huge and cooked perfectly and homemade steak & ale pie too. Veg were steamed and hot. Staff were attentive and helpful - lovely experience.

Staff were really helpful and attentive, and food was really nice. Ignore bad reviews on the black pudding starter because I had it and it was lovely, steak pie for main course which was equally as good. Nice atmosphere in the pub and we really...

Stayed at site up the valley and visited this place once - once too many. Staff behind bar abrupt rude and unhelpful but they were better than the food .Shared a black pudding starter which according to the menu would be crispy. It wasn’t. Very...

Great Staff, Great Breakfast “Full English!” Clean rooms, great value for money, easy parking we would stay again, thanks!

We have visited here quite a few times over the years as it is halfway on a journey to visit family. This occasion was a bit disappointing overall, bit of a mixed bag.. so, firstly there were initially two female bar staff/ waitresses. One was...

Not much atmosphere as quiet midweek meal but 2 attentive waitress’s , and HOT, plentiful food and good value. Steak and onion pie was superb and packed with tender meat, large portion of bread and butter pudding finished us off. Would recommend.

Visited here in our way home from a stay elsewhere. Horrible food, smelly pub and rude staff Would not return if you paid me.

Called in without a reservation but we were able to get a table. Staff attentive and pleasant. Seafood pizza was the best ever. Car parking at the rear was a bonus.

No idea what was going on at this pub today but it was seriously bad. We had booked a family lunch as my parents-in-law we’re leaving the village after living there all their lives (80 years). We chose The George as mother-in-law used to live...

This was a nice pub but lacked atmosphere. It is difficult at the present time with all the rules in place but something was missing. The food was nice but the choices were not very interesting. We called in one evening just for a drink...

Appreciate totally the C19 restriction but the restraints in this pub out of kilter totally with hayfield...think you are doing your best ....but it is at the noment stifling and needs a reasses ...i understand tight on space but we all pay to "enjoy' a...

Great Tuesday night, service was excellent, food was excellent. Good selection of beer. Certainly recommended.

We only came in for a drink at the end of a long walk (nice selection of real ales - great) and should clearly come back again. There were plenty of people having early evening meals around us and they looked good. Nice decor and...

We ate here Thursday afternoon whilst waiting to check into our hotel. This is a lovely traditional English pub.I had the king prawn with Marie rose sauce sandwich on brown.Partner had smoked haddock and egg starter,followed by sausage and cheese pannini.All were very tasty and...

We ate here for lunch. The prices are very reasonable, the food an excellent standard. We waited a little longer than normal, but worth it when the food arrived. Lovely open fire gave the pub a lovely, welcoming feel.

We've had several dishes, which were all good. The bar area of the pub and the seating area are seperate, and divide those who drink from those who want to eat as well

Having come away to do a good bit of walking, due to my dog having an op I couldn’t do the walks so just strolled down to Hatfield from the campsite. I popped in to this little pub. Had a glass of Prosecco and sat...

I spent an evening in Hayfield with my son's. We were enjoying a few drinks in the garden when we decided to eat. I ordered our food and we moved indoors, we'd been waiting for about 20 minutes when a young staff member put a...

Called in here late afternoon on a Sunday and was surprised that it was very quiet as we’d passed a few pubs which looked very busy. Ordered our meals at the bar and the food arrived really quickly which was great as we were hungry....

Great place to rest up, have a beer or 2, and some tasty food. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Dog friendly

We've visited this pub for the last few years, as soon as we went to the pub we were welcomed with open arms from all of the locals. We live this place, amazing owners, beautifully decorated and great rooms! Highly recommend for your visit to...

Have been in the past a number of years ago. Just called for a drink as passing, I had decaff coffee which was excellent. Cosy place. Did not eat but the meals observed around looked a little small.

Often call in here as it is local to me and never been disappointed yet! They have plenty of Specials on offer but the standard menu is also spot on! The lighter portions are a great little extra option too for those with a smaller...

Tap water: we got a jug for the table and got loads of ice! Everything else: between the four of us we got 3 burgers and 1 fish and chips. The burgers are very generous in portion and the fish and chips come with a...

Spent the weekend in a nearby B&B and happened upon this place whilst wandering around the village on a pretty wet and miserable night. Had a couple of pints and decided to eat in the restaurant where my wife and I enjoyed a delicious home...

Visited here whilst spending a weekend in the village. The visit for evening meal started OK with a warm reception to the pub and quickly seated and drinks order taken. After that it went downhill. Service was slow and when it came to desserts we...

I have eaten in the George many times and always enjoyed my meal, if we have a girls night it is always in the George, always a lovely atmosphere and pleasant service..

Not eaten here for a while but the food was still just as good as last time. It is not a gastro pub but it is a good "pub food pub". The food is very tasty and the prices are very reasonable. This is possibly...

Good pub food, good service and reasonable pricing. 2 Couse meal great value. Serves all day which is a bonus.

The staff superb also the very smartly dressed they came out of kitchen to check if everything was satisfactory which I thought was different to some establishments we have visited

When staying in Hayfield not many places to eat. The George was recommended to us. It has good pub food. Thai prawns with noodles was good and was Steak and Ale Pie. Average prices.

Arrived after a long day of walking, cold and ready for some hot food and a drink. Pub was busy with a good atmosphere. Checked in to my room - so much better than I was expecting for a pub room. It was a good...

Staff friendly and efficient Pie excellent, veg cooked beautifully but chips should be brown these were white but they were cooked. Dessert was delicious. Nice atmosphere couldn't smell soot although we were seated near the open fire. Been before and will be going again

Lovely. Spacious pub. Didn't like the smell from the. Chimney breast of soot need I Gud. Chimney sweeper. For this. Some of the staff wasn't very friendly. Quite rude to customs the food. Not bad. I wudnt eat here just had drinks.

We ate here several times over the week that we were in the area and each time we got good quality and service. I liked the way they have a range of small plates for the smaller appetite. This is one place in the village...

The last time I visited this hotel I could not get a seat in the restaurant. Tonight much quieter only one couple eating. That said it's 2030 hrs on a Wednesday. However don't let this put you off I've spoken to several people who rat...

Called in whilst camping at the Hayfield site. Good old fashioned pub that’s not been messed about with. Menu had all we needed for two old fogeys and two grandchildren. One a vegetablearian. Most importantly a good pint of Banks’s bitter. Staff were young helpful...

Service was ok, soup dull, black pudding and poached egg lovely, steak tough but tasty and kleftiko really disappointing. Could do better.

Fantastic bar, lovely staff, good selection of drinks and food, will visit again. Gn and tonic very good indeed.

We visited the George hotel last night. Great value for money especially the children’s meals. Large portions and very hot and delicious. Also Wine £10 for a bottle on Friday 😬🤗

Great ale , service and the food looked lovely. We have stayed in this pub overnight and cannot fault it

We were staying in another village not far from here and our hotel recommended this place for our evening meal, we weren't disappointed, very good food and very reasonable cost, all sat next to a roaring coal fire!

We had a few meals at this unpretentious old pub recently and can certainly recommend the cuisine !! Steak perfectly cooked, as was the fish ..& cheeky desserts , as well as some great ales and lagers. Everyone is very friendly ( even most other...

2x Very tasty evening meals including a choice desert for less than twenty pounds, excellent value choices include salmon and a very nice cheese and potato pie. Staff were very hepful and friendly.
