In Castleton for a few days walking and called in at this pub for an early evening meal and a couple of beers. Although not busy when I arrived most tables were reserved but staff managed to find me one . All staff very friendly and helpful, as a solo traveller much appreciated . Had a very tasty burger with added stilton cheese , and a couple of pints of an excellent Black Sheep bitter . Well recommended , but very popular so best to reserve a table . Will be back next time in Castleton .

We stayed for a weekend. Room 5 was very comfortable and quiet. We ate both evenings in the restaurant. It was lovely to eat fresh food all homemade as opposed to processed freezer food often served in pubs. Staff were friendly and very professional. Vegetarian choice was good and breakfast had good options. We would like to thank all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable

Op onze eerste dag in Castleton gegeten bij the George. Van binnen erg gezellig met een haardvuurtje, waarnaast onze tafel stond. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We bestelden een quiche en een pie. Dit eten was oké. Niet uitzonderlijk, maar voor een pub zeker niet onverdienstelijk. Al met al een prima eerste avond gehad.

I can't recommend the George enough, the staff are so friendly. Made us feel welcomed, never got that feeling of awkwardness when entering the pub. The deep black cherry pie is to die for , the Sunday roast too. Can't wait to visit again. Thank you John and Lisa for taking the time to post my lovely flat glass bottles, love them. Ten out of ten for great food , friendly staff. I need more cherry pie haha 🤣. Fantastic place to visit.

Had a great lunch at The George with parents and children. Huge portion sizes and great food. Good range of bar pumps including Landlord and Blqck Sheep - just a shame I was the driver of the day… We had Fish & Chips, Burger with pulled pork and Shepherds Pie. All were lovely, arrived quickly and even filled up the teenagers!! Puddings for the youngers went down very well too. And reasonably priced for the quality and quantity. Would have no reservations going back again; including with the in-laws😀

Staying overnight in nearby accommodation so booked this nice old country pub in beautiful Castleton for food. Glad we booked in advance as was very busy, I had the steak and ale pie with chips, mushy peas and gravy at £15.50 which was plentiful and delicious as I polished it off in this friendly local.

After reading some of the reviews about The George, we expected better than what we received on our visit! We ordered the bacon chops from the main menu, while the gammon/bacon was lacking in taste, the chips served with it were no better than frozen oven chips! In fact, they could well have been! Although the restaurant was empty, we waited at least 30 - 40 minutes for our food to arrive from the time of ordering! Very disappointing!!

Lovely pub. Friendly efficient staff. Great menu. Yummy food. Lunch time on a Saturday. But - and this has nothing to do with our experience but felt it worth a mention - we were in restaurant which signage clearly stated table service in restaurant but some customers were ignoring these rules with one man nodding off with a pint on a table for 6 (he was there throughout our 3 course meal) and another group playing cards, with their 4 kids eating their own food taking up two tables off 6. Another table for 4 was drinkers only. All these people went to the restaurant bar for service. People who wanted food coming in during this time were turned away because no room in restaurant. If pub owners are happy with this then fine, but for those wishing to dine in your lovely restaurant, they’re missing out,

What a lovely friendly pub. We came here for dinner one evening on our recent holiday as well as for drinks another afternoon. Lovely selection of drinks and particularly liked the local gin The food is outstanding. Really good quality, cooked very well using ingredients from their allotment - and the Yorkshire puddings are not from the freezer! Very generous portions - deserts are simply the best. If this wasn't enough, what really makes this pub is the staff. All 4 that served us were lovely - very professional service. A stand out hospitality professional was Michelle. Oh and they sell some amazing local produce. Highly recommended and if we return to Castleton, this will be our home from home. Thanks so much.

I love this pub. I live alone in Castleton and know that if I get fed up with my own company (and my own cooking) I can come here and, for not very much money, get a great pizza, a drink and company. I always recommend this pub. The staff are great and the views from their garden are wonderful. Service is excellent and, as a solo female (with dog) I feel welcome and comfortable. Can't ask for anything more.

This is a lovely pub but the food was so disappointing and way overpriced. We ordered two chip buttys at £7.50 EACH I don’t mind paying for something that is worth the money but this was oven chips on a kids burger bun not the “artisan” bread that is was described as. Chips were dry and cheap won’t eat here again as I feel like iv been ripped off!

We stayed here last weekend for 2 nights. The room was immaculately clean with nice complimentary items wine, water, toiletries etc. Lunch was from outside pizza box and was fantastic all cooked fresh. Evening meals and deserts delicious. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and service was excellent. There is an outside upstairs seating area for residents looking out at amazing views, even when we sat there we weren't forgotten and staff kept coming up to check we were okay and if we needed anything. Stayed for Sunday lunch again amazing. Booked already to stay in 4 weeks and we can't wait. Thank you John, Vicky and all staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

We have visited Castleton many times in the past but have never eaten at The George. That was until last week! We had been on a walk and after seeing the loaded fries on your Facebook page, was sure to give them a go. We arrived slightly earlier than opening time, but we were told we could take a seat (sat at the front) and you’d get the iPads up and running so we could place an order. We were made to feel really welcome and nothing was too much trouble. After having the most delicious lunch and being looked after by attentive staff, we revisited later in the week. This time in the evening and sat in the back area. Waitress remembered us from earlier in the week and very friendly. Advised us on food and nothing was too much trouble. Very busy evening but food was with us within about 20 minutes Max. The drinks were very swift. All in all a really positive experience and will definitely be in for a visit again soon

I have moved house during the 2nd lockdown and have had no cooler for a week. So me and my family decide to have a takeaway and from the normal Indian or fish and chips we thought we would give the George takeaway ago. It was beautiful, just as good as when we visit the pub it’s self. We got it delivered and it arrived 5 mins early which was a bonus. It was piping hot and plenty of it. The delivery lady was cheerful and polite even in the cold wet rainy night. Defiantly will be having another.

We booked a table after seeing reviews on trip advisor but to be quite honest it was a bit of a let down in comparison to the other pubs in Castleton. The waiter was I hope just having a bad day as he totally ignored us even though he looked in our direction and could see the table was void of drinks and food after 25 mins but the was told by another member of staff to come to us. the food was passable but the decor needs a lot of attention.

The staff were very attentive and professional and friendly, the food was great. The room was good with some free drinks in the fridge which we very welcome. I just personally didn’t like the saniflow toilet as very noisy, plus the air freshener that squirted out a chemical smell constantly. Both just meant it was noisy in the night and as a light sleeper, this was the only negative. The bedroom was lovely, very comfortable, plenty of tea and coffee and proper milk.We had dinner and breakfast, both were of a very good standard, very tasty and lots of choice. The beer was fantastic and the other clientele very nice to have a chat with. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would return.

We had a great stay at The George in Castleton, this was a last minute getaway before the next lockdown. The room was great, had everything we needed and despite the wind and rain outside was warm and snug. The food was delicious, with huge portions of tasty fare. The selection of cask ales was great.

We were in Castleton for four nights and wanted to book somewhere for dinner on the first night before we travelled due to not knowing the effect of Covid. The George was recommended as having good food and allowing dogs. We booked and enjoyed it so much we went back each night except for one where we got a takeaway from the George. The food was good and service excellent for two of the visits out of three where we ate in. When I mentioned the drop in level for service on the third visit, feedback was taken really professionally and I left happy. Of in Castleton, give the George a visit!

We spent 2 nights at the pub and would highly recommend. Breakfast is now back to being served downstairs with full cooked breakfast options, food was good pub grub and a warm fire made it even better. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our bathroom was a little tired looking and had a leaky tap but staff were made aware and will be sorting this otherwise a nice and comfy room for a short break in the peaks. Plenty of gluten free options too!

We only popped in here for a couple of drinks but when we saw another customer's pizza, it looked that good we decided to stay and eat. We were not disappointed, the pizzas were delicious (and huge) and alas we could not finish one each. Fortunately they have takeaway pizza boxes and we boxed up our leftovers and had it for late supper when we got back home.Staff were lovely and everything was spot on, can't fault this place.

Interesting to read the reviews. Real lack of warmth here. Not sure whether the guy in charge was the landlord, but he was extremely reluctant to engage in conversation except with a couple of regulars in the corner.Food okay, but even in COVID, is there need for cardboard cups and plastic UHT sachet milk?

We went into Castleton to visit Peak Cave, but found we had an hour to wait, so decided to have some lunch. The staff at the George were very welcoming and really switced in to the Covid restrictions. We were shown to a table and ordered via table service. The food was very good apart from the fish finger sandwiches, obviously cooked from frozen and really overcooked, hard and dry, chef needs to rethink these.All in all a good experience.

I did not get a chance to get inside to see what the George has to offer but i was please with the extra facilities provided within the tents in the car park. The staff did well under the difficult COVID controls and i was impressed with the way they handled a large group who wanted to flaunt the rules.I enjoyed the beer and the standard of service. The food was basic but everyone and their dogs are welcome. A great place to stop after visiting the castle or finishing your walk over the hills.

Rang n reserved a table for lunchtime, advisable in these times as we were seated inside. Made to feel very comfortable, drinks order taken immediately. Slight delay for food order as had to wait for table service, we both had rib eye steak medium rare, mine cooked to perfection, my daughters a little too much on the rare side but the quality of the meat was exceptional.I would have liked to have given 5star rating, but nobody checked how our meals were, if they did I feel confident my daughters steak would have been taken away and returned cooked to perfection.In these awkward times, it maybe that contact with customers has to be kept to a minimum.Great value for money and I happily recommend this place as a go-to destination.

My family have favoured this pub for generations. But yesterday, amid the rain storms, covid, and woolly hatted hikers, this pub emerged to be the best part of our day.The staff worked so courteously and well. The food was the best and we must mention the coleslaw and home-made ketchup in particular. We fought over the steak pie!

Stumbled in off the street in dire need of thirst-quenching after the long descent from Peveril Castle. It was fairly busy (mid-afternoon on a Tuesday) but we found a table- kindly offered by a couple that was leaving, this was our first mistake.Possibly the bar staff didn't recognise we were a new 30-something white couple at the table and didn't attend for possibly 20 minutes. As we were considering leaving (the note on the door entry informed us it was table service and we should wait to be served) a member of staff walked by and we got their attention. Clearly they were perturbed that we had sat down without them sanitising the table, our fault.Once we had all eased into the uncomfortable start, the service was good, the drinks hitting the spot and the atmosphere amiable. Lovely little boozer, would book a table to eat in the future, the food looked pretty nice.

We visited the George and just ordered drinks, we thought the pub was so cosy but there was no room inside so we sat in the beer garden. We sat down and asked the waitress whether we can order on the app or if she could take our order, she abruptly replied I’ll take it what do you want. We gave our drinks order and asked politely if we could pay separately and she sighed, rolled her eyes. Her attitude was horrible and the experience was not nice at all. The blonde waitress serving in the beer garden on Saturday needs some training on customer service. All the other members of staff were polite.

I don’t write negative reviews lightly. You can see from all of my extensive previous reviews I always tend to focus on the positive. But when you go somewhere and expect a friendly welcome and a nice clean room for the evening and hopefully some half decent food and then you are let down on most of these counts it’s somewhat disappointing.Food was not too bad, average put grub, nothing special but could have been worse, very lacklustre service though verging on quite rude. Now the super negatives. Firstly the room was one of the dirtiest and most unkempt rooms I have ever stayed, and I’ve travelled extensively throughout a number of very poor countries in budget hotels. Bed was unmade, stained sheets, filthy toilet brush and stained toilet bowl. Have never seen so much dust fall from a curtain upon opening.So naturally I requested a new room, and in 20 years of travelling the globe and the uk I have never been spoken to in such a rude and patronising manner as though I were a child by a member of management. Could not believe this person works in the hospitality industry. Refused a new room, accused of lying and shouted at for asking for a refund.Think twice before booking, place is not as it seems.

Good, predictable food in a socially distanced environment. Menu is straightforward and probably exactly what you are looking for after a long walk or drive in the dales. most important to us on our visit was that we were able to eat outside in an appropriately social distanced environment. Menus are 100% online via a QR code. Service is polite, informed and friendly although more detail is needed around keeping distance from customers when serving food.one-way system and very well spaced marquee are all part of the safety-conscious environment.

A lovely freshly cooked meal. We were a group of 5 so sampled a good few dishes and all were great.The chips are particularly good. My only wee niggle would be that I am vegan and there was nothing labelled on the menu,however on asking I was offered a choice of 3 main courses. Also only vanilla ice cream for me for dessert. If vegan choices could be added to the menu and a couple of desserts it would be perfect.Serving staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Booked here having read the tripadvisor reviews; however, had an experience that was very different to the other reviews. The food was, at best, average (the chicken burger was one of the worst things I have been served in a long time) and the service was variable with some staff bordering on rude. I can’t recommend you eat here.

Room lovely comfortable and spotlessly clean with lovely complementary wine and water. Breakfast was so nice with fresh milk, cereal, muesli bar, yogurt fruit etc. And a great addition to the room a fridge to keep everything cold. Shower hot and nice toiletries. Also a really nice private area for residents only. All staff were so nice and friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Excellent stay and have already booked to go back, cant wait !!!

We visited The George whilst visiting Castleton for our evening meal, and were pleasantly surprised with their quality of food and cheery prompt service.It was obvious that they were taking social distancing seriously, with hand wash as you enter, a one way system and table service only. The tables had dividers in between them, so we felt as safe as possible, given the times.I had the veggie pizza, and I can honestly say it's one of the best I've had in a good while. My wife had the nachos and also enjoyed them. We washed this down with a few pints - brown cow ale for me and a diet coke for the missus.

Whilst on a short break in Castleton with family & friends we booked in at the George. Extremely well set up to be Covid-19 safe with outdoor heated marquee tent, paperless menus, table service & socially distanced tabling. Besides that the food, service & drinks were sooo good that we booked again for the following night. The roast dinner was some of the best we’ve ever had and the kids loved the homemade pizzas with chips to die for. Sticky toffee pudding & apple crumble cobbler were the favourites from puddings and all washed down with a beautiful pint of Destination APA. Well done team.

My Wife, two young boys and I have just had a lovely dinner (and a couple of drinks) in this splendid village pub. Food, as usual, was top notch as was the service and attentiveness of the usual and extra staff that have had to be taken on in the current new socially distanced world. The family and Team have done a great job in getting The George working really well whilst keeping people safe - it cannot have been easy to organise and we have witnessed the hard work pay off. The only disappointment - a young fellow customer who had the temerity to complain about the speed of service in a very obtuse manner. Great pub, great staff, delightful food and selection of drinks. Highly recommended.

Heard great reviews here so decided to book for tea. Ordered the salad as the healthier option, asked for Halloumi & Chicken. There was no salad, a couple of leaves at best. It came with fried halloumi, dry chicken and fried potatoes. The waitress was really helpful & understanding which is why this isn’t 1*. My partner had pizza which he said was nice.

This was our first meal out since the lockdown. It was very nice, staff is very friendly. We ordered a burger and fish/chips. The burger was really good and the fish was ok. In any case it was what was needed after a long hike.

Take away fish and chips after a long long walk was what we needed, and this did not let us down! During these tough times of Covid-19 the Landlord and Landlady are keeping business going with a smile on their face, amazing quality food, served by amazing quality people. 5 out of 5.

Enjoyed the food, the staff willingly wrapped the meat I couldn’t finish for a doggy bag, friendly, enjoyed the Friday quiz, able to bring the dogs was a bonus. Easy walking distance from our holiday cottage

Had the most amazing takeaway dinner for the 5 of us. Staff were so accommodating and we were able to collect our food from the door. The standard of the food was, as usual, exceptional. We had Fish n Chips, Burgers and BBQ pizza, yum. So grateful they have set this up so we don't miss out on their great pub grub.

We booked an evening meal here after realising the nags Head food hygiene rating had dropped and we had a lovely evening. We had 6 people (1 vegan) and 2 dogs and were all well catered for.The food was great, good sized portions well cooked. The tuna was especially good. We are castleton regulars and this will be our restaurant of choice in the future.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch here during our stay in Castleton. The nut roast was really tasty and was served with mash and roast potatoes and a selection of vegetables that were cooked just right. Great ales on the bar too. Very friendly helpful staff.

We went for a hike at Mam Tor with friends and searched for somewhere to eat afterwards in advance due to my husband having dietary requirements. The menu is clearly labelled with Gluten Free options which makes it so much easier! My partner said it was the best GF pizza he has ever had! He also was able to have the chips which was a nice treat! They had gluten free carrot cake but unfortunately the chef made an error and put a wafer for decoration on the plate (replacing something else) but my partner is super sensitive to cross contamination so couldn’t eat it. The staff were really apologetic and gave us a refund for the cake and asked if anyone else wanted to eat the cake free of charge. Easy mistake to make. We will be returning after our next hike. Lovely little place. Friendly staff.

The fish finger sandwich with an additional side of chips was just the ticket after a 7-mile walk round Mam Tor. Especially nice, when washed down with a nice ale (Wainwright’s).

I booked a table for 5 people for 16th Dec at 12.15. We all arrived early and the three who were eating ordered before 12.15. Two were just having coffee. Despite the pub being quiet we did not get our meals until 5 past 1. Other people were being served who came in after us. I asked a staff member how long the food would be and she came back with the answer not long. I said how long is not long and she said about 5 minutes. It was another good ten minutes before the food arrived. The festive roast looked very nice but the pie and the lamb kebabs ( minus the skewer as they didn't have any) were not very good-- Tough and nearly cold lamb and a dry looking pie. An experience not to be repeated.
