George inn in East Northamptonshire

The service was friendly but there was only us four there. We didn’t know it had turned into an Indian restaurant but we decided to stay and try the food. The food was lovely but mine was a bit cold so I asked for it to be warmed up. A day later I’ve got food poisoning sickness and diarrhoea and so have my friends who had joined me to eat there so I would look at your hygiene cleanliness unless it was reheating chicken I’m not sure but we are all ill now.

Busiest I’ve seen this pub since the 70s Food was excellent, we had to wait but it was worth it, so busy , very friendly and attentive, sure the decor will improve in time as they are new , will definitely return

Friendly staff clearly getting to grips with the new regime at the George - usual wide range of drinks but the food has gone to a new higher level. Fantastic lamb dhansak…full of flavour, perfectly spiced with generous succulent pieces of lamb. All the classic curries plus a real Himalayan Gurkha theme. Can’t wait to come back. Easy five stars.

Goodbye. We are sorry you are closing. Hopefully it will reopen soon.

Visited today, first time, well impressed! I had the burger off the lunch menu, this was very tasty, and for the first time ever I've found a place that can cook fries and cook them well. They were superb!! Others with me had fish and chips, I tried this too, the batter was epic. And one had the Chicken and Bacon Caeser Salad and she was very pleased. Friendly staff, great experience 👍

Couple of drinks and good food for a reasonable price. Lovely place, good atmosphere and plenty of room

Always great food and service. Staff are wonderful and friendly.

Great pub. Went for evening meal, can highly recommend the steak pie. Really helpful staff, gave us a very warm welcome.

Popped in after coming back to Oundle from a work trip. Only wanted a pint and a chat before hitting the hey but found the locals around the bar area to be a little strange in my company. Didn't feel particularly welcome so drank up fast.

We went for a Sunday dinner, the food was great! Big portions and loads of veggies. Servers were polite and food came out in a good amount of time :)

Absolutely brillant service brillant meal recommended any one to go thank neil robertson

Had a very enjoyable meal at the George, friendly proffessional staff, food of excellent quality steak and veg that melts in thel mouth, and the most amazing sticky toffee pudding, i have ever tasted from Robertsons ftiend

A disappointing dinner. We ordered starters to come out at starters but everything came out all together as dinner. Young lad who served us didn’t seem to know what was going on. The food all at once, made us rush to eat so it wasn’t cold. Ordered 3 pizzas from the wood fire, when it came out of the kitchen we enquired as we asked for it from the fire to be told we only do the bases out side on the wood fire even thought other being cooked on there and taken to tables. Ordered two chilli pepperoni pizzas they came just pepperoni no chilli jam/oil so had to ask for that. We ordered deserts, cutlery came out 4 guests only 2 sets of cutlery. well I had the brownie with chocolate sauce and it was more like chocolate water it was that runny. We ordered the cookie sandwich for my little brother. The cooking were rock solid and you couldn’t break them, then he stated that it tasted funny, my mum tried the cookie and it was very very very salty like they had used salt instead of sugar. Unexpected, unbearable and un eatable. We went to get a bottle of water with 4 glasses and 2/4 were super dirty It’s like they have given up It used to be so much nicer

Only came for beers and the footy. Looks a nice pub though!

We went for Sunday lunch as part of my daughter's baby shower. The weather was perfect and so was everything about The George Inn. It is dog friendly, the food was amazing (also very vegetarian friendly) and the staff were so lovely. A special thanks to Suzy who made our afternoon just that little bit more special.

Decent country boozer, nice range of beers, good friendly service, had the rugby on when we needed it!!

A strange place. We went here for some food with the family after a nice day climbing trees only to be told there were no chips. We found this hard to believe as almost every child there was of a rather doughy build and seemed full of chips. Big uns from Wigan if you get my drift. I was left rather baffled by this odd display of obesity. A member of our party was also cruelly struck by a football in the carpark which really did seem to be a hate crime as she is mentally handicapped and unable to kick a ball herself. All in all a underwhelming place, good slide though.

VERY UNWELCOMING AND RUDE. After a lovely day spent with family at the nearby Lyveden we thought we’d carry on the fun with some refreshments at what we thought looked like a lovely little village pub. On arriving we were happy to see there was a play park in the garden for my nephew to enjoy, so far so good! We went into the bar to order drinks to be abruptly addressed with “we are not taking food orders at present, the kitchen is too busy. You’ll have to try in 15-20 minutes.” We ordered some drinks and went outside to enjoy the sunshine. We had seen that food orders were being taken again so went back in to order the children some food. We asked if they were taking orders now, the member of staff, again quite rude in manner said depends what you’re looking for. We said just something light, maybe some chips or something to which they replied “we are all out of chips and fries” we thought this was an unusual thing to run out of but said we’d leave it as we now felt very unwelcome. We went back into the garden only to see MANY tables receive chips and fries for the next 30 minutes or so. It is a shame, we would have spent much longer there and would have returned had it not been for the staff. Perhaps some training could be offered to these people as it would be unfortunate to continue to lose paying customers.

Visited on a Friday night. Reasonably fast service and you get what you pay for, the food wasn’t anything special. Advisory’s would be to change the colour of the car park sign as it’s currently green and hard to see. Also the ketchup was extremely watery in an odd kind of glass. The Pizza didn’t look great but tasted better than expected.

Went with friends for dinner, service was mediocre - slow service unfortunately put customer service was polite. food… my partner and I had Fish n chips, the fish was far too greasy and over cooked and so was the chips, I may try their pizza next time as looks more appealing.

Cold attitude towards guests, poor service, the coffee is not tasty, after serving the drinks, you don’t want to eat anymore.

A bit tired but staff very friendly

Visited on Saturday night after a positive referral from a friend. Busy and noisy with groups of families with young children. Reasonable menu with specials. My wife ordered steak pie but when it arrived it was lamb after she tasted it. Told the young waiter who asked " do you want it changed ? " well yes it was not what we ordered. A new meal arrived just as I was finishing. On top of that my 1st pint was flat as 2nd wasnt ! Disappointed

I can't comment on the food but we stopped in on Christmas eve after going to the carols. The staff were very friendly and we will be returning to try the food

Had a family gathering for daughter's birthday (November), food was plentiful and delicious Went again (Jan 2024) for wife's birthday, party of 10, food as good and plentiful as before, staff very pleasant and accommodating. Will be back 🙂

Staff so attentive and friendly

Had our works' Christmas meal here, the food was really nice and the service provided was first class. Highly recommended.

What a great place to eat, had works Christmas Dinner here, staff were friendly, great service, helpful, highly recommended, wheelchair accessible, place for children to play, beautiful bar area, very scenic inside,perfect countryside style pub. Thankyou for a wonderful experience, great food, delicious desserts ,and service with a smile,

Christmas Family meal. Food piping hot & plentiful. Served efficiently with great waiting staff. Waitress was superb, nothing too much trouble. Well done Alex and team... Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas x

Food was excellent. Staff are friendly. Great place to eat.

The best meal out I've had for a very long time... absolutely delicious. Good, friendly service, although we had to re-order 2 drinks which didn't arrive, and on checking the bill, we found we been charged for the ones we didn't receive. However, they immediately put this right. There are no soft furnishing or curtains, which made it a little noisy, but overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended, and I will return very soon.

Had Sunday dinner there on 5th November 2023. Everything came out hot, and there was a lot of it. It was very tasty, but I found the beef to be a little chewy, not all of i, just some of it. The roast potatoes could have been crispier, and the gravy (although had a lot of flavour) could have done with being a little thicker... overall, it's not bad, and I will go back to see if there are any improvements.

A lovely local pub with good food and service. Fits a wide range of needs. Bar,lounge area and restaurant and outdoor area. General bar food but also has specials.

Perfect for a night out with friends and family, though, if you're hoping to go somewhere quiet by yourself or with a partner - this may not be the place, as it is very child friendly with a play park and outdoor area. Absolutely perfect for families though. The food was amazing, and service was great too. With young staff that are happy to respond to requests in a timely manner.

So friendly & homely. Good food 2 with special meal nights

Great quiz, great steak night.... Most recent steak outstanding

A good welcome and good food beer is good too.

Just had a meal at the George Oundle for 6 adults and 4 children under 10s excellent food great service nice atmosphere good size helpings food all come out together thanks to all involved

OUNDLE PUB CRAWL (18-08-23) Pub #3 Had a near 20 min walk to get to the pub on a hot day, looking forward to a cold pint and after ordering and getting it, taking it to our table it was flat and warm!!! Not good at all, asked the bar lady for wi-fi code and just told its BT nothing more? No PUB name wi-fi only pay as you use avaliable? Not very welcoming at all but regulars were and hotel guests, so we left half of our pints and walked back into town. Our photo with the Pints was taken before we had had a drink:/ A bad visit!!!

The George is my local pub. The food is ok, when you can actually get the food. Drinks are extremely expensive for what you get. We've been let down one too many times by the lack of food/delays in service. The nail in the coffin was a visit on Thursday, where my mother in law ordered some food. Whilst ordering she said we had a table of 6 to order and was reassured that it wouldn't be an issue. She paid for her food and I went to order food about 5 minutes later for the rest of the family. I was then told no food orders until 6.30 (45 minutes away). They took my name and table number down. At 6.30 I went back to order food and I was told there was a long wait, and they prioritised bookings. My kids couldn't wait any longer to eat so we had no option. UT to leave. I had booked in at the bar for 6.30 so this is a poor excuse for the service. Fortunately there are loads of great restaurants in Oundle, we went elsewhere and had a great meal. I won't be going back to the George!

Great beer garden where the lads were playing cricket

Lovely pub with good food and a brilliant outdoor area. I can recommend the super salad and the chicken burger. I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area again.

Just stopped for a quick cup of coffee on my cycling trip to Amsterdam and the service and people there were amazing, extremely friendly and supportive and the coffee was pretty banging too.

Father's day lunch for 9. Everything was perfect.

The standout about The George are the staff, reception BRILLIANT, Bar SUPERB, Waiting staff JUST GREAT Chefs ON POINT

I worked near here a year ago but wasn't in a position to pop in I'm glad I made the effort and wasn't disappointed lovely starter of pork belly croquettes with a chilli sauce Rutland trout with a beetroot and new potatoes served with a delicious yoguart garlic sauce sublime, Beer battered Cod with to die for chips washed down with a cold beer Great service with food this good I'm surprised it wasn't fully booked it's a 10 from len

Lovely pie night £10 best pie ever full of steak yummy

Beer ok .. bit overpriced.... food poor ..

Pie night great selection for £10 Had steak and ale triple cooked chips and veg plenty of it best pie ever full of steak and rich gravy see pics

Nice place, staff helpful and friendly.

Lovely friendly village pub, food good too

A lovely old pub with a great out door area for eating and a play area for the children I have eaten in The George Inn in a few occasions and always found the food very good.They recently did a buffet for my husbands funeral and they food was wonderful...I can't thank them effort.

Lovely friendly pub where we enjoyed a meal with our doggie. Very tasty chicken burgers 😋

The food and service was excellent 👌

Very friendly place. Had Sunday roast which was delicious and like a home cooked dinner. Accidental find on a day out but was glad we stopped

Very nice good food with a good selection

Ordered steak and ale pie to my horror it had been warmed up in the microwave the pastry was disgusting.

Popped in for some lunch when passing through and had a gorgeous meal, staff really friendly and welcomed our dog she even got some treats, would highly recommend and will be back

Not a spit & sawdust place..lol its very clean the staff are great it's not the cheapest but it's worth it

Four of us had a lovely meal last night, it’s Game week & we all had venison steak which was perfectly cooked. Thoroughly recommend

Really good food, friendly staff and consistent! We have visited The George Inn both mid week and for Sunday lunch, and have enjoyed all of the meals eaten there. Sunday lunch really was very good, definitely the nicest in the local area!!

Lovely ,friendly, & dog friendly !, local pub to us. Easy accessible

Enjoyed a lovely 3 course festive lunch yesterday with a small group of friends. First visit to the George, one of the group lives close by and highly recommended. Service was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived and wasnt overly busy a few people in the bar area and a large family gathering in the restaurant so you could hear your conversation. Food was prompt and plentiful. We were well looked after by the staff. Will definitely be returning for another visit. Thank you for an enjoyable visit.

although it was really busy with the football on the telly in the bar and a party of over 25 people in the resteraunt we did not have to wait very long for our meals.we both had the slow cooked blade of beef this was really tender with mash and a nice selection of nicely cooked veg.will definately be returning soon .keep up the good work.

We had a really pleasant Christmas meal and great service. A regular family favourite.

A lovely busy pub. Nice atmosphere, varied menu, well kept beer.

We had a warm welcome table was reserved for us a party over 4 and 2 dogs, everybody enjoyed their meal great service definitely we will be back when in the area.

Quick and very nice food at a reasonable price

Visited here with my wife and a couple friends (plus a dog, they are dog friendly) for a Sunday roast in late September and we all agreed it was one of the best roast dinners we'd ever had. Though a big praise goes to the exceptional service we received. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement. My wife and one of our friends are dairy intolerant and although this was mentioned in the table pre-booking, my wife was just expecting what most other restaurants do and say that ABC contains dairy and they'd omit it. Or if you're lucky, they might replace or give extra XYZ that doesn't contain dairy. This is not good enough for The George Inn though. As soon as we'd arrived and asking if we were getting the Sunday Roast, our server immediately went to the kitchen. I just assumed he was informing the chef to be careful with ingredients but he returned to say the chef was making dairy free Yorkshire Puddings. This was certainly a small treat for my wife as she usually has to avoid the Yorkshire Puddings. The food came out, dairy free Yorkshire Puddings for my wife and our friend with dairy free gravy (another treat!). Usual vegetables that come with the roast but then out comes two separate bowls of cauliflower cheese - one with dairy and one without. Again an absolute treat and definitely not something my wife and friend were expecting. A superb meal and we were really appreciative of the efforts of the chef and server.

Found this on the way back from Peterborough had really nice sunday dinner hear friendly staff reasonable pricing very good all round experience will use again if over that way

Went there with a large group and was delighted with the quality of the food and service. Will definitely go there again.

Delicious steak and ale pie with crisp fresh veg and gravy. Friendly service. Large outside area for sunny days and car park for out-of-towners

There were 4 of us having a social get together and had not visited this restaurant for a number of years. The level of quality food was excellent from the seared fillet steak, the huge homemade steak and ale pie. the vegetable lasagne and the tiger prawn red Thai curry.and we all sent back empty plates. All accompanied by delicious desserts.

We had a delicious Sunday roast here. My friend and I have a dairy intolerance; the chef made us fresh dairy-free Yorkshire puddings and cauliflower cheese. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and I sensed how much pride they took in catering for us. It was very much appreciated. Dogs welcomed too!

Had a fantastic meal Saturday night. I'm gluten intolerant and there was a good choice of food. I had the steak and they told me that the onion rings were gluten free!!! Couldn't believe it. Not many places do that. Excellent value for money, lovely food, great service. Dog was allowed in bar area. If I'm in the area I will definitely return. Highly recommend.

Just had the best burger ever doubled it up so yummy, then apple granola crumble Would give it 11/10 if 8 could ate outside lovely setting great service willnbe back 🍔🍔🍔🍔😁❤️

I have often passed this pub situated on the outskirts of Oundle but managed a visit for lunch earlier today. We choose to sit in their large rear garden and ate at one of their many tables. I ordered the Steak and ale pie with mash and vegetables and even though my pie was about an inch thick, it was thoroughly enjoyable. My wife enjoyed hers too and our meals were part of the 2 for £15 deal which nobody can complain at. Food and service was excellent and no complaints at all. I had 2 Guinnesses whilst my wife had a pint of coke which, with lunch, totalled a very reasonable £26. We would happily return. Visited 19th August 2022.

Lovely food all freshly cooked.. Will definitely go again hopefully for a Sunday lunch!

We had a great salad here and the landlord was very accommodating, even though we were a little late arriving. Would recommend this place if you’re nearby.

Outstanding meal good value for money excellent service would highly recommend

Well kept beer. Lovely beer garden.

Great little pub and food is good great for families as it has a big beer garden

Lovely place to enjoy a meal and drink ❤️

It was lovely needs some music and kids play park

Beautiful pub lovely grounds and atmosphere. Food was amazing. Can't wait to go back

What a great place. The lovely people at the George managed to fire up their Pizza oven and feed almost fifty hungry pilots and volunteers from our national Hang Gliding Competition with less than an afternoon's notice. We all had a fantastic evening and enjoyed great food, great beer and a really great atmosphere on the outside covered terrace . We promise to give you more warning next time! :-)

We had a large family gathering of 30 for an early evening meal. We per ordered and the service was fantastic. We arrive 25 mins before the specified eating time which allowed ordering drinks and getting seated and Jo and the team looked after us very well, the food was great efficiently and quickly served and they sorted out several people paying very easily. I would not hesitate having such a gathering there again.

Spent an evening there with friends outdoors at their pitsa eatery. Lots of room and great, friendly atmosphere. Good selection of drink.

Another fabulous meal at this pleasant pub . The chef cooks wonderful food here , very well presented and the quality is superb . The service is excellent too . The menu is well thought out and everything is tempting on the menu . This is the third time we have visited .

So I booked for a 13.15 sunday lunch with my teenage son; the weather was foul and had had enough of walking so we turned up 30 minutes early. The staff couldn't have been nicer and found us a table immediately. The service was quick and attentive - we both ordered the Sunday roast pork with all the trimmings and were not disappointed. The portions were generous and the bill was modest, and you can't ask for more than that, really. This isn't a 'smart' venue - this is a comfortable local pub with a mix of locals and parents taking their kids out of school for lunch, and I'd certainly go back.

Outstanding food, better crowd. A truly local pub experience.

Lovely food and such a friendly pub. Excellent service and booked again whilst there to go back again 😊

Has a really lovely meal last night . Price very reasonable for a family of 4 including drinks . Starters were great , Steaks were beautifully cooked . Service very good . Everything on menu tempting. Will definitely return .

Was a busy Saturday night, but they fit us in as walk ins. The atmosphere was good and the good was delicious. I was a little on the fussy side about my steak (pregnant craving) and they got it bang on. This was my second time here and I would highly recommend.

This is a fun pub in Oundle and just a bit away from the main center of town. The service was very friendly and they served one of our favorite steak and ale pies from the last month living around the area. Beer selection was nice and the atmosphere was up to date and comfortable. We hope to go back soon.

First time visit for me and the wife . We had the Sunday roast of beef and turkey , which were both very nice . Came with roast potatoes , pig in blanket , pork stuffing and Yorkshire pudding , with vegetables and cauliflower cheese . Very fair price and great portions too !! Service was friendly and swift . Proper nice old pub , would definitely recommend and visit again :)

Excellent Staff and an Amazing Sunday lunch. Well worth the visit!

We’re on visit number two in two weeks already! Sunday lunch was scrumptious, so filling and beautifully plated too! Well worth the money. The staff are ever so kind, welcoming and really make the atmosphere of the place. Goes without saying that we’ll be back.. again!

In the area for a couple of days and booked a meal at this venue. Made the booking via Facebook and it was responded to straight away and very efficient. When we arrived the lady serving at the bar knew exactly who we were before...

Good size portions. Really nice fresh food. Found it slightly bland but sorted it with some salt. Wouldnt deduct rating as its just personal taste. Great service too.
