George Hotel Restaurant in North Kesteven

Yet another visit to this fantastic pub. The lunchtime baguettes are amazing and great value for money. The only issue I have is with the guy complaining about his steak as the George has not had steak on the menu for quite some time. My advice is to ignore that review and try the pub for yourself, it's brilliant.

Very rude landlord and staff, the food was slow arriving and of poor quality. I ordered a blue steak which arrived well done, I then had another long wait for my food. I definitely won’t be using again and I advise others not to if they want a nice warm welcome, as you will not receive it here

My sister and I visited The George today and enjoyed a delicious strawberry cream tea, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were really friendly and made us very welcome. I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely country pub and gardens and we will be making regular return visits.

A wonderful time for a birthday celebration. The food was fabulous and the service was personal and so friendly that made this a wonderful experience. The new owners have done a fabulous job transforming the interior. Have already recommended to friends and will definitely return

Went for a Birthday meal , the staff were friendly and very helpful, we turned Up early they were busy but still made us feel welcome, the food was great and good value for money , the choice was better than expected, will definitely be going back !!!!

Visited with my partner, staff super helpful and very friendly. Food is to die for. Would definitely recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Visited the George Stable Sports Bar for the England Euros Semi Final with my partner. Friendly and super-helpful bar staff, and a great atmosphere. Had such a good time we chose to come back for the final! I saw a negative review from the couple sat at the next table and was shocked and appalled - simply not true from what we saw. I have placed a complaint with Trip Advisor about it, that negative review is best ignored in my humble opinion.

Visited for a drink. Surly barman, very unwelcoming. Asked to watch first half of rugby match on one of five TVs, told no as they were waiting for football to come on. There were four other people in there. Reluctantly put one TV on, wouldn't turn up volume. Awful, awful place.

booked a table for 7.30pm saturday 4/7/2021.arrived 7.05.was taken to table ordered drinks (ORANGE AND LEMONADE FOR MYSELF.WAS DRIVING.SPARKLING WATER FOR WIFE.).FINEALLY got menu at 7.50pm.told us they were running late because some people had turned up late for there booking time.not my fault or problem.i was on time.no-one else in the restaurant part.came took our order at 8.05.not the best of menus for a restaurant.suppose to be fine dining.came back 10 mins later only had 2 of the steak and ale pies and were doing them for the ones who were late.no appologies.ask for the drinks bill 2 orange and lemonades and 2 sparkling waters..£9.50.this used to be a fantastic place to have that special meal.not anymore just your standard pub food now.stay well clear of the place.rip off

First visit since reopening. Amazing refurbishment, place looks clean, fresh and welcoming. Well done! Had Sunday lunch and have to say it’s possibly the best one we’ve had anywhere. Beef and lamb stunning as well as portion size excellent.

Just spent a few ways staying in leadenham. Visited the George on our last evening. The staff made it feel special and the food was divine. Perfect meal. Compliments to all at the George. If we pass again it will be my first port of call

Best Sunday lunch ever. Meat and vegetables cooked to perfection and gravy to die for. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Absolute gem for Sunday Lunch. Atmosphere and ambiance just perfect. The food was outstanding and service excellent; nothing was too much trouble. My friends and I will return regularly.

We are a group of ten friends who Sunday lunch every week. The George gave us a great welcome, fantastic food and the service was exemplary. We have already planned to return.

We had a lovely Sunday Lunch here. Great friendly staff, yummy starter and thick cut slices of beef. Highly recommended!

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime for a family get-together lunch. We have all been to The George many times over the years but none of us had visited for quite a while; certainly since the new owners arrived.The building hasn't changed at all - right down to the decor but having said that, it is an historic building so there are limited options regarding decor and it did look clean.Two of us had starters which were nicely presented and tasty. For the main course three chose from the specials and had the belly pork and I had the salmon; all the meals looked good on arrival at the table and we all thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the sticky toffee and date pudding for afters and it was gorgeous, worth going back for! In all, it was a very nice lunch that we all enjoyed. We didn't feel at all rushed even though we didn't leave until almost 3pm. We are happy to recommend.

So very sad to say as my mum lived locally about 20 years ago - I wanted to see some of her history. My grannie said she would drive me here, the chef was smoking outside leaning against the wall on our arrival.We were quite hungry but were a little apprehensive about the hygiene.Ordered hot food in the hops it would not of been contaminated.Fish and chips were nice, when we eventually received them .Nice selection of drinks. Staff lovely.

In our arrival for a lunch stop was the chef out side smoking in his uniform not very hygiene standards, we wanted a snack so we all ordered sandwiches which took for ever to come, one of the paninis was totally burnt and the beef was awful in it, the cheese one how ever was thrown together with big horrible slabs of cheese in. We never was asked if our food was ok we had waited that long we had to rush and leave. The pub/hotel is looking very tired I won't be going back there very disappointing.

We went here for a family birthday lunch, having not visited before. We were disappointed with the service (or lack of!), as the waiter was very slow, and we were left for long periods throughout the meal - even though there was just one other table in use. The food was ok, but we won’t be going back as the level of service affected our enjoyment of the overall experience there.

Came here for dinner, booking beforehand. They were busy with a large group so had to go at 6pm.Lovely staff were very helpful throughout. 3 hand pulled beers were available and tasty.We had a main course only with a bottle of wine. The choice is amongst the classic pub food - fish and chips, sausage, steak, gammon, pies, spaghetti Bol, lasagne and vege versions. There was limited vegetables - peas only, but when it came it was very tasty and well cooked. It was very good value and if you want cheaper food, they have a happy hour where certain meals are half price so well,less than £10 for a main meal !!Not special, but if you want a good cheap meal in a nice place , come here!

We could check in early. Tons of parking. Spacious, extremely clean rooms. Very quiet. Helpful staff. Delicious full English breakfast. Fantastic value.

Now under new management and with a professional chef this hotel has always been known for its steaks but now it's even better. Four of us dined there, each had something different and each would rate this as excellent.

El George ha estado recientemente bajo una nueva administración, hemos comido allí tres veces desde entonces, y sin excepción hemos disfrutado mucho de las comidas. Comida típica de pub, e. sol. , bacalao y papas fritas, hamburguesa, bistec, chuletas, etc., pero muy bien. El pub en sí está un poco en mal estado, y algo anticuado en su interior, pero los nuevos propietarios están mejorando gradualmente las cosas. Menú de madrugadores, días laborables 5. 30 a 6. 30, los platos principales seleccionados por solo 8 tienen un valor excepcional. La hamburguesa con cebolla roja frita, tocino y queso en ciabata fue excelente. Buenas cervezas y también tiene una selección verdaderamente enorme de whiskies si eso es lo tuyo. Algunos comentarios aquí son bastante negativos, pero las cosas están mejorando rápidamente. Si estás en el área, pruébalo.

Fui hace unas 3 semanas para tomar una bebida y le dijeron a un sándwich que no tenía sándwiches, así que se fue hoy sábado todavía no había sándwiches, así que había mermelada en su lugar. atrás

Went last night for my birthday . Like the lady said on her comment odd !! Walked in thought omg ,there was few regulars at the bar .you stood there thinking we are not going to get nothing nice here ping ping food maybe.... young lad took us to our table fair play it was a Wednesday & we was only ones in ..but I ordered garlic mushrooms hubby pate .. Then he had t bone steak me lasagne , I was bloody speechless !!!! it was Devine, all the food was excellent.the meals came with Chips , potato’s & variety of veg I mean variety not just carrots & peas . I am not keen on steak but when hubby was cutting into his it looked really tender & he said it was one of the best steaks his had .so don’t judge a book by it cover. Yes I would go again maybe try Sunday lunch & service was brilliant thank you for a brilliant meal

Really not sure how to write this review as I don’t want to appear rude.

Friendly staff fantastic food great Service would recommend the t bone and all the stakes the ribs are good to

Went in for Dinner but we sat outside first for a drink , the area is filthy , old tables and old chairs , leaves and old pots with dead plants , what a shame as it could be made nice . Very unloved and unkept. Dirty glass and bad cutlery , a quaint pub inside but would not go again to this mucky place

Went with a large group and was looked after perfectly from drinks to meals ,small quaint restaurant but large in stature

Visited some friends at Crandall who took us here for Sunday lunch, we had the last booking time so wasn’t too busy.

We stayed overnight midweek on our way to a family event in Boston. Very friendly staff, good selection of beers and the food was fine. We would come again

Had a great meal with family and friends for my wife's 30th, we had a table of 16 and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Compartimos un sandwich de carne y patatas fritas. Sándwich de carne estaba bien, pero la ensalada pinta horrible. Había algo que parecía un gusano! No estaba tieso lechuga. Ver fotos y las patatas fritas eran en su mayoría los extremos y fría. Decepcionados. No visitar de nuevo.

This is good place to eat if you like gastro pubs. Nice variety of options and fire burning in the fire places makes this place warm and cosy. Lots of local people and a great collection whisky bottels on display, some older than 100 yrs.

Fuimos con y por recomendación de un amigo que ha frecuentado El George durante muchos años y mantiene en un profundo afecto. Es un lugar encantador y acogedor, rústico antiguo y anticuado. Preferimos el bar sobre el comedor - un quema en uno final, el despliegue de 700 raro whisky es un fondo interesante y atractivo y amable gente apuntale el bar. El menú es bastante extenso, pero todas las comidas (carnes, empanadas, pescado y patatas fritas) estaban muy bien y disfrutamos de algunos vinos bastante decente. El servicio era cálido y eficiente.

Mi amigo vive cerca de la George y paramos para cenar.

Mi esposa y yo fuimos a cenar y a probar la abundante colección de whisky el George tiene. Para comenzar con los aspectos positivos, las raciones son enormes, no hay peligro de que saldrá de hambre y la colección de whisky es increíble, pero lamentablemente es donde los aspectos positivos,

Los propietarios del restaurante nunca dejes salir sin tener un estómago lleno. Son muy complacientes y como la comida está recién preparado, podrá satisfacer las necesidades individuales y preferencias. Las familias se sentirán cómodos y el personal es muy amable. Realmente te sientes como en casa y es un lugar muy relajante para pasar el tiempo. La zona de los alrededores es pintoresco y hermoso.

Sin duda, presenta un problema al revisar un establecimiento que ofrece 2 niveles de muy diversa de prestación de servicio. Por lo tanto, solo puedo probar de buena fe y hacer justicia a la George si la crítica dividida en 2 diferentes cuentas igualmente La George es un centro muy atractivo, con un montón de encanto del viejo mundo, con chimeneas y una incomparable colección de whisky de decorar todas las habitaciones. El personal era amable y servicial y de particular atención eran de Jade y Harry que los comedores en una forma excepcionalmente amable y profesional. La gente recomienda tenemos el filete, que seleccionados de una exposición en el restaurante. No estaban equivocados, la comida era deliciosa y abundante, los postres eran del mismo tamaño y combinado con 2 refrescos, 1 bebida alcohólica y café vino a un precio muy razonable 55 libras. 00. La impresión general del pub, comida, buena relación calidad-precio y prestación de servicio, una bien merecida calificación de 4 estrellas. Desayuno por la mañana siguiente era igual de bueno. Comería allí de nuevo? Sin duda, sí.

Utilizamos el George Hotel como una parada en el camino al norte. Se permite paradas nocturnas en casas rodantes y proporcionar eléctrico si es necesario. Un montón de espacio en el aparcamiento. Nos tomamos el desayuno y la cena, ambos comidas muy agradable y de...

Went here because of the whiskey collection I had heard about they have one of the biggest I have seen with about 700 bottles to chose from

What a disappointment. The George used to be a great place to eat but our recent experience was awful and a costly mistake we won't repeat. All four starters and mains were poorly presented, lacked any flavour and seemed to have been done as cheaply as possible but with higher than average prices.

We stopped off for lunch. Mains looked a bit expensive but from the lite bites menu liver and bacon was good value, and full English breakfast at lunchtime always goes down well - and it's always a bonus to get good sausages (I presume they were Lincolnshire). Surrounded by whisky bottles (on shelves round the pub) and with a real fire going, the bar looked a better place to eat at lunchtime than the restaurant area. The glass of wine was fine (and no mark up if you wanted a small glass) and the coffee was very good.

I reckon that this Hotel is suffering from a major lack of investment, which possibly the trade it attracts cannot support, but the welcome that my wife and I received was warm, and the food excellent.Other reviews talk about the quaintness of the interior, and in a shabby-chic way it is delightful. A lovely open fire, an extensive menu, and leather seats you sink into !We simply stopped for lunch, choose Gammon and eggs from the menu, and in fair time it was duly delivered. A superb thick piece of gammon, two eggs, varied vegetables and enough chips for a party. The gammon was excellent, and the whole meal first class. Why four stars and not five ? , well the outside really is scruffy, and although averagely clean and tidy inside, all is slowly in decline. A real shame, but we would certainly visit again.

This pub is unique and worthy of a trip to Lincolnshire, if you like whisky. I have often perused whisky shops and this pub has a wider selection than most. The whisky fills the space the bar and then continues on shelves around each room, just as a toy train track might in Wallace and Gromit. Your choice requires a catalogue and the collection is noted by Famous Grouse (read into that what you will) for its vast whisky collection. Whisky is the certainly the main event. But that is not o say that it has nothing else. If you also happen to meat like you can select the very steak you want to eat in the chiller as you walk in. I have spent a few slow afternoons near the fire or in the bid, old leather wing-backed chairs and intend to continue to do so.

Went to the Burn's Night Supper in a group of 8. Pre-dinner drinks were included in the set menu with five courses plus coffee. A small malt whiskey was included with each course so the all in price was very reasonable. We were all seated on one table, the courses came very promptly and the only criticism I could make was the soup and vegetables could have been hotter but with so many covers what we received was perfectly acceptable. The smoked salmon starter was excellent, the soup was soup. I was expecting a larger portion of haggis but as we also had roast beef to follow there was sufficient. The beef was really very good and perfectly cooked for my taste. I would have liked clootie pudding to finish but the chocolate cake was more than acceptable. Along with the atmosphere and the company it made for a very good evening.

Excellent dinner and breakfast! Came for dinner and had the Georges stuffed chicken which was very good. Good service and ambience in the restaurant. Came back for the full English breakfast which has to go down as the best I have ever had. Comprised of 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, black and white pudding, portobello mushroom and baked beans, toast and pot of tea. Excellent and good value for money!

Went to george for sunday lunch . All ways went had all family's parties there no more got here today . On arrival i approached the bar it looked busy and asked for a table for onè . I waited half an.hour and then went to carvery where chef was using his fingers to put meat on plates ordered my meat then no mash left no roasties they said someone forgot to put them in oven no parsnips . May have well ordered a meat sandwich. Staff were so disorganised wat a shame i was looking forward to it has i am the game i dont get many sunday dinners as i am cooking sunday lunch and i performed like that i would be ashamed what has happened to the place

Visited with my son for Sunday lunch. Nice place, nice people and service! Food very nice just needed to be hotter! The meats were fabulous! Shall return!

We went in for lunch as we haven't been here for quite a few years. It was quiet. The fire was lit but no radiators were on so unless you were sitting near the fire it wasn't very warm at all. we were surprised at this considering it was February! The toilets were clean but freezing as again, no heating. The pub is clean but feels in need of some refurbishment. The main menu is expensive for lunch and when we said we were ordering food we weren't offered a lunch menu. We found one as we were about to order from the evening menu. The fish and chips were really good and the fish was huge. The ribs were enormous but beautifully cooked and just fell apart. Prices for lunch were reasonable and it came to about £30 for 3 of us with so much food that we struggled to finish it. We would go again but not in winter unless we have lots of jumpers on!

work colleagues and I ate here on a Monday night because our hotel restaurant was shut. I was slightly disappointed. With the prices in the menu been above normal gastro pub prices I expected a lot more, it certainly wasn't any better than your good local gastro pub and I will not be rushing back. There was nothing wrong it was just all a bit so so.

Stopped with some friends for a lunch on our way home. It was not terribly busy, and we couldn't understand why the order took so very long to arrive. It didn't bode well when the gentleman behind us sent his sausages and yorkshire pudding back ............ the only word we heard was 'atrocious'. We had ordered a prawn salad, a burger and Cajun chicken and noodles. When it finally arrived I have never seen such unappetising food. To be fair, the burger looked ok, tasted ok, (just ok, though) but the chips were cold and the coleslaw tasteless. The Cajun chicken was dumped on top of rubbery egg noodles (really? with Cajun chicken?), and the chicken was a thigh and a drumstick, in an insipid tomato based stew. Not a whiff of Cajun seasoning anywhere. The prawn salad was a heap of defrosted prawns on some mixed salad, with no dressing/Marie Rose sauce to be seen. My friend asked for some Marie Rose sauce and before it arrived, she found two DOG HAIRS in her prawns! Strong representations were made, and the somewhat elderly lady who had brought the food out came to speak to us. She was quite defensive, and said she was only the 'washer upper' not the chef. When my friend paid the bill (burger and drinks only) she queried why the chef hadn't come out, to be told 'He didn't want to!' .............. For goodness' sake! We suspected that, for whatever reason, there was no chef, and the 'washer upper' had tried, and failed miserably, to do both jobs. They would have done better to not serve any food, rather than the rubbish that came out. If there WAS a chef in that kitchen - he needs to find a new career.

Decided to try here as seen the pub when traveling to grantham.We had the 2 course Sunday carvery £11.95 each, they also do I course for £9.95.Pub is very old with traditional beams galore, my opinion it needs some TLC.We sat in the restaurant which has the carvery selection, choice between rib of beef, lamb, turkey, gammon, pork all served with Yorkshire puddings and stuffing, homemade lasagne, roast potatoes, mash, roast carrots & parsnips, cabbage, & peas. Lovely thick gravy too and all the sauces to go with meats. We were unlucky to get there at the end of the beef joint far too fatty so decided on Turkey and pork as this was lean, they did bring out a new joint later and it looked lovely.All our food was lovely and we all enjoyed it. For pudding you get the choice of 5 different things I had chocolate fudge cake warmed with ice cream yummy.I would recommend the Sunday lunch to others and would defiantly go again. :)

Great Supper whilst visiting the Polo Club, very substantial and traditional, well cooked. The pub is very traditional but has a great history. When we started our meal a waitress came round with a huge dish of lyonaise potatoes fresh from the oven and she served us extra to our order which was a really nice homely touch. All in all very pleasant.

Food was freshly cooked to order. The steak was cooked as we asked, and the desset was delicious! (baileys creme brulee, and sticky toffee pudding)

I had been there on previous occasions and had found the place and food to be hit and miss! However I went there for a low key christmas bash with some work colleagues and have to say I had one of the most enjoyable meals in years. There were 6 of us in the group. 4 of us went for the fillet steak. There was a choice of size. So I opted to pay slightly more and went for a 10oz. I wasnt disappointed. Best steak I had in years. Cooked to perfection and knife went straight through the meat. Been to many other places, paid more, only to find it was as tough as an old boot. Everyone enjoyed their meal. One of my colleagues had the rack of ribs. They were also tender, fell off the bone and nearly hanging off the plate. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. The portions were huge including chips, lots of veg and dauphinoise potatoes which we had not asked for. Well worth the £25 due to quality, choice and portion size. Will recommend to anyone. Enjoy!

It's been nearly 30 years since I was last here and remembered it fondly. I was bitterly disappointed to note that the menu had not changed and some parts of the bar looked as if they had not been cleaned since. The food was simply awful. Why ask how themixed Farmhouse grill should be cooked if all the meats are then cooked at the same time and the left under the pass so that even the steak whuch was requested rare is well done! The lamb chop and pork chop wee wrtten off. The steak and ale por was beef stew with a puff pastey crust that had been over cooked seperarely placed on top. The peas are under cooked and cold and the few chips provided for 4 meals tasted as if the oil hasn't been changed since I had last been. I am not surprised that no one bothered to ask if we enjoyed the meal when we left I think our faces said it all

A very old and large restaurant, come bar, with a full and varied menu.Excellent value and highly recommended

We used to visit the George years ago before the bypass was built, and purposely went back there this week on our way back to Yorkshire from Norfolk. The place looked very tired, outside was cluttered with tables and equipment, but the bar area was just as we remembered. Still a bit fusty, (some would say it has character) which it does, however it appeared to need a good spruce up and clean. We wanted bar food and the 2 for 1 appeared inviting, but as there were three of us one ordered from the main menu. We had to wait 25mins for the food to arrive even though there appeared to be no one else ordering or waiting for food. The fish was reasonable, sweet and sour dish enjoyed, the pie was a bit dry, chips were good and all meals were hot and well presented. We probably won't be making an effort to eat here again which is a shame, as it used to be such a great place to eat.

What was a popular hostelry now seems run down and uninviting. I met with 3 former work colleagues for a catch up, and we were looking forward to eating in the bar at The George - on the basis of previous positive experiences. However, what we ordered from the menu was not that presented - and it was largely lacking in flavour. Fortuitously, the 2 for 1 offer softened the blow - because the food was certainly not worth the listed price for each item. This is a great pity, because The George was previously a reliable source of quality food at competitive prices. Perhaps today was a one-off; so I will try it again!

Anniversary celebration, meal had to be returned - steak was burnt along with the prawns, dry oven chips the meal was considered uneatable. Replacement meal was a different dish that was also uneatable. Barman not interested very off hand. Will not eat there again even if they offered it for free.
