George IV in North Hertfordshire

Pleasant enough but only had pork roast available sold out of Turkey and Beef

Nice food, terrible service. Zero friendliness, or charisma. Very disappointing..

Much improved in my last two visits. Good roast at affordable price. I would like to swap out the Carbs for more veg. Ans it frustrates me that the is no pedestrian access at the north end of the site. It's a long old walk up the hill from Baldock.

We were warmly welcomed, and the lady behind the bar was smiley and seemed friendly, and all other staff were pleasant and helpful throughout. We were served quickly. The limited real ale options were a bit disappointing as several were not available, leaving IPA, but found something we were happy with. The menu seemed really good with lots of veggie and some fish options, which was good for me, and my other half struggled to choose as there was a lot he could have gone for. Mushroom and ale pie and chicken burger were both very good, and as we were quite full, it was nice to have the option of small pudding and a coffee. Mini cheesecake and chocolate fudge cake were nice, but flat white coffees were not the greatest. Overall, however, the experience was a good one, and based on todays visit, we would happily return.

One of my favourite places to stop off to break the journey as it's always welcoming with a very clean premises & a large carpark with dog walking access. The food is always good quality pub food, promptly served & very polite staff.

Great food , tasty and fresh . Really nice and friendly service . Will deffinitley recommend and return again as was amazing .

Went with family for dinner ordered the lamb shank Shepard’s pie . My daughter and I ate ours but we all were all a bit took back as the lamb shank was sticking out of the Shepard's pie and my husband sent his back as a bit put off . I think the lady was angry with this. She brought the menu back so he could choose again but said what if we take the meat off the bone and put it back in the pie. But my husband didn’t want this . Anyway he didn’t choose anything else but said he might have a sweet as we were eating now . She took the menu back and we never saw her again. After saying she would bring the sweet menu back . I understand we choose wrong maybe but to be treated this way I don’t think we deserved . It was meant to be a nice meal together . I think she needs to go back and be retrained in customer care.

Lovely late Boxing Day lunch with friends

Service has quick, shame my food wasn't what I ordered and charged me for what I did not receive, amazing even though I told them.

Food arrived 2 hours after ordering, despite only saying it would be one hour wait. I tried cancelling it for a refund and they wouldn't let me. They brought the food knowing it was going to be cold. Really disappointed.

10 for 10! We got 3 different dishes and they were all so good! Definitely worth a drive! Smothered Chicken, Steak and Ale Pie and Pork Belly are dishes you have to try.

Arrived as a group for the breakfast with Santa event and it was fantastic. Food was good and served in a timely manner. Staff were lovely and made it really enjoyable for the little ones who were very excited to see Santa. Lovely staff and a nice food, fully recommend this place for families and a well stocked bar for a trip with friends

Wonderful food, always clean. Friendly staff. We come here for a treat every few months. Consistently brilliant

Batter on chicken could have been better (a bit more crispy) wish I could choose something else apart from the amount of chips. Coleslaw lovely. Maybe should offer drink options.

Went with my son for Christmas dinner, the food was superb and staff brilliant. Been a few times now and will keep going 10/10

food nice hot and very tasty perfect

Had a great pre christmas lunch with fabulous food and service

Good selection of drinks and amazing staff , the Christmas cheer was blooming out in the air. Very well decorated venue with a Christmassy vibe, made our Christmas Eve night out wonderful . Thanks to all the staff and I hope you all have time to spend with your family and friends. Merry Xmas

I've visited several times over the past 30 years. Warm friendly, quiet atmosphere . Cards taken & kept at the till untoll meal is finished . Good food choices 😋 Reasonably prices.

1st time here, the food was lovely, staff all very pleasant and helpful , I will definitely be retuning, thank you x

Food is always lovely from there

Nice pub in a quiet location and the food is good.

Amazing service thank you so much

Everything was amazing . Great service and very helpful. Food was so nice and a good selection of drinks. I would recommend going.

Shocking scabby bit of chicken and cold chips

Foods always nice and hot would recommend

07Jul2024 Visited on spec. The food, beer and service is great. The pub offers superb value. The menu is mainly traditional, but with the occasional flair of something different, to tweak the dishes, and the results are brilliant. The pork belly with creamed potato and jus is such a well balanced array of deep flavours.

Had a lovely meal and the service was excellent.

amazing my favourite chicken in the world... always cooked just right

Absolutely amazing food and service

Welcomed and served by friendly and efficient staff. Reasonable wait for food which was excellent

Here to update my review - the management seemed to have made many improvements and the service was much better than before! The white girl in glasses with a ponytail was really friendly and professional. Food was nice too!

The burgers were amazing especially the vegetable burger with home made relish . Fabulous service too- we will be back soon

Okay if you are eating, not a drinking pub.

I love the spicy wings from here, always nice

Food was amazing and all the staff was really polite. The atmosphere of the place is amazing and i’ll definitely recommend

Very friendly and comfortable place to go out for a dinner with the wife. Very good food and good selection of drinks !will be back soon

I must say I'm totally disappointed with the customer services after taking my family out today for a breakfast birthday. Service was very pushy, being told when we arrived that if I wanted to add a disabled child we would have to make room in the space we had. The restaurant was practically empty and I did pre-book but sadly my son with the disabled child had been delayed Nd I was told the table we had is needed and booked out from midday. I felt extremely embarrassed as I was treating my family which included my 83 year old mother with two of her great great grandchildren. Absolutely appauling behaviour

W hours late, Everything was cold. Eveyone who ate the mayo and coleslaw were sixk afterwards, will never order again.

Fantastic food and atmosphere, lovely staff and helpful. Fab place to catch up with family and friends. Recommend going here.

Excellent food, great delivery drivers.

Although it was very busy food was gd The server Mai was polite and helpful

The shelves around our table was very dusty. The service was very slow

Very good service with good food when we visited for Sunday lunch. Staff were efficient - not hurried - but attentive and serving professionally and in a friendly manner. I would definitely go back again.

For the third time for Sunday dinner and yet again run out if most roasts!

Had lunch with my son, lovely atmosphere, the lady who served us was really polite and friendly, if I was totally honest I think it was a little bit over priced for what we ordered, and could have been presented on our plate's better. The food it's self was very nice 👍

Great Sunday roast slow service

Had booked a table and when arriving was told table wasn’t ready wait for food was 40 minutes, short staffed. So when waiting for outrage to be ready and gentleman went to complain to female manager and he was not happy with what was happening and the manager walked away and we heard her swearing and her attitude really changed to not being nice. So me and my partner walked out as the atmosphere in there was horrible. Of all the times I’ve been going to this pub I’ve never experienced anything like it. If you know your that short with staff and obviously couldn’t cope stop taking bookings do something don’t keep putting people to tables and then give bad service. Sorry to say I won’t be going again for a long while I hope they sort it out for Xmas rush as it will be a nightmare again.

Top environment!!! Super food!!! Excellent quality, quantity and care in the creation of the dishes. Excellent choice and quality of beers. Beyond all expectations

A nice atmosphere for a quiet drink or a sit down meal. A humble menu of traditional pub food and very friendly staff!

in all of my 83yrs I have never had chicken so good.....tasty and moist...will be using them again for sure.

absolute joke waited 2 and half hours come stone cold got put in the bin dint send my chips and dint put chicken. in my chicken cheese chips wrap only had chips and cheese in it and refused to give my my money back joke of a takeaway

Excellent service and service as usual. We with a friend who had not been before and comments were the same as mine above .

The food was soggy and cold and not very nice to eat

Lovely hot food have been ordering from here for a lot of years always delicious

Pub is half empty on arrival after 3:15 pm and was clearly visible that all the free tables were not reserved (also on their system). We have been turned down by staff that they only take bookings until 4pm.

Arrived at around 15:15. Two of us. Obviously visible free and clear tables for two, at least four of them. Where we were "please wait to be seated", we were told: "we are booking only before 4PM". This lack of flexibility is not acceptable. You are making a living from guests who want to eat there, don't you?

2 hours I waiting for my food and still I didn't get if they don't wanna bring no problem but they should text me and I oder from somewhere else than

We stopped at the George IV for dinner on the way home, first time we had visited the pub. It won't be the last! Warm welcome, a broad menu with some interesting (and seasonal) specials and decent prices too. The food was great - special shout out to the Gressingham Duck pie which was very generously filled and the (recommended) salted caramel sundae. Service was really good, and the owners are keen to put their stamp on the place, very friendly and keen to hear feedback. So a big thank you from us and see you again soon!

food was freezing and chips were soggy

Had a wonderful evening here with friends. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely will be returning

I didn't get my money back, even today I'm going to give a very bad review.

Food was cold onion rings was half cooked and burger was falling apart with all the sauce on 1 side worst order ive ever got from here

The staff here are always welcoming and really go out of the way to make our experience better, Grace goes above and beyond and makes out autistic children feel welcome and safe to be able to enjoy a meal out with us.

We visited in May and had an awful experience so thought maybe we wouldn't go back, but decided that all the other times we'd been were fine so give it another go. So glad we did, we had a lovely evening. The food was excellent, I recommend the Signature Burger. It was fully staffed so everything ran really smoothly, the staff were absolutely top of their game, we were not rushed at all unlike at some other establishments, everything was calm and relaxed. They have a wide selection of drinks and non alcoholic beers and ciders so something to suit all. Very cosy on an Autumn evening. We look forward to our next visit!

Love this pub. Family fav. Fox and service are great. Recommend

I was not ready when it came because the delivery estimate was so far off

As previous customers, we were sent a buy one get one free voucher and decided to treat ourselves. Unfortunately this was an experience that was extremely poor for me, and although my partners meal was okay he was left eating on his own due to the 2 issues, both the poor cooking and the quality of my meal. I had ordered a steak, well done. This is something I rarely do, and the George cook is the reason why. My steak arrived with patches of raw, red blood on top. Although it was not necessary, one cut was sufficient to confirm it was pink and leaking blood inside too. This turned my stomach and, with our waitress not in view, the plate went straight back to the bar where the barman confirmed the red blood was clearly visible on the steak. Visible red blood on the outside of a steak is a clear sign of poor cooking and personally repulsive to me. The same steak was returned cooked well done and I did try to eat it but it was tough as old boots and 20-25% on inspection turned out to be a large triangle of gristle. All in all, this meant that my meal was a half of a steak and two small jacket potatoes. I showed the gristle to the barman, who, in all fairness, did take the cost of the steak off the bill however, as we would have used the buy one get one free voucher and not paid for it anyway it really didn't make me feel any happier. I would say the front of house staff were fairly pleasant but the quality of this steak in the first place, and the poor cooking of it in the second place were very far from satisfactory. I can only suggest you check each steak very carefully before trying to eat it, or, as my partner did, go for the sausages.

Lovely hot food as usual have been ordering from here for years and food is very good

Always lovely food and amazing staff I take my lady with dementia and they are so accommodating always. Would highly recommend we have had lunch and dinner.

the order was over an hour and half late, i could have walked in the time it took to deliver the other, it is also stone cold and the delivery driver was extremely rude when i went out to collect the food

As Always Best take away Ever fresh hot n tasty Thanks guys x

Stopped off here whilst travelling with work. The food was fantastic! We were expecting basic pub food but the food was superb, from starts to desserts, it was all very tasty!

Don't bother.... Wanted to book for Father in Laws birthday. They don't take bookings for over 12!! They said "we would block the kitchen up" Awful thing to say. Think that's disgusting really. No different to having to tables of 8 in there!! Wont ever get another penny from me. Rather go to somewhere where everyone is welcome!!! .....Then you get a pathetic response from the "Owner" Nothing like trying to help someone out?? Embarrassing!!

We were served by Katie who was just superb. She was friendly, professional and very attentive. I have a dairy allergy and so eating out is always a nervous experience but at George IV all the staff are extremely helpful and informative about what is safe. They kitchen do an amazing job of turning out the best food at an extremely high standard. The manager himself is a lovely welcoming and friendly man. It feels like eating out but in someone's home and very warm welcome and excellent staff. It is our fist choice for eating out every time and would highly recommend to others. Thank you to all the staff.

What a lovely evening. Great food, staff were lovely, very accommodating and took all preferences into account.

Booked a table for 7.15, was ignored for 45 mins to get our drinks order, once we finally got our food order taken, we waited 2 and a half hours to learn our food order was cancelled and no one told us, they were very unhelpful, will not be back

The food was amazing, the service and staff were absolutely fantastic. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We had a gorgeous meal the food was all freshly cooked and very tasty. Served quickly and all food out together for the 4 of us. It was also nice being taken to our table and orders from table too and for drinks better than going to the bar and orderinv as it used to be. 100% perfect

Order did not arrive at all, ordered at 7:20pm and called restaurant twice who said the order was on the way, only for it to never arrive.

Revisited after many years. Great welcome but service after that not what one would expect. Even though we were eating and sat at table in restaurant, still had to get own drinks and pay as you got them, then pay the final bill as you leave

Went in for my wife birthday party , the staff was very accommodating and cheerful. Nothing was to much for them. The food was excellent and fast and the singing at the end was the cherry on the cake ! Thanks guys for the wonderful time

Great food. It's really nice to see a variety of different things to choose from rather than the typical pub menu. Lovely interior as well as a lovely dining area outside too.

Recently refurbished,so was comfortable and nice and clean.

A nice pub with a good choice of beer and food. Especially liked the cottage pie croquettes

Lovely garden, burgers are to die for and the staff are very friendly. Having Aspall on tap doesn't hurt of course.

Nice pub with good food abd valued menu for a chain pub. Very nice decor

Cozy garden in summer and a great English pub. A must try 🍻👍😎

Amazing service as usual thank you

ordered waited hour for food and chips was soggy and chicken cold

Great atmosphere and even better staff. Food looked great but we had only arranged to meet for a few drinks.

Although the food was OK, not much else in its favour.

Two best beers were run out again. Meal to table took too long.

Soggy chips and half full wrap. Disappointing.

Best Gammon, Egg and Chips I have had for ages. Staff were friendly and helpful, I had a great lunch on the terrace. Shame the real ales were off but it didn’t spoil the experience.

Very good food, friendly staff, but atmosphere was a bit lacking, think it was down to the layout of the pub it was like a big open corridor, but that aside I would recommend this place for a nice meal at a good price 😀

Order was over delayed and no good approach.

Friendly staff and nice food. Lovely patio area outside to sit and either drink and/or eat. A chance pull in which was worth the stop!

Disaster really. Not greeted, had to ask and find my own table, £20 for a mixed grill that was at best £10 worth, ask for steak rare, came up medium to well, nobody asked me how my meal was, looked understaffed, barman rushed off his feet, left without so much as a goodbye, thank you or clear off. Very poor and won’t bother again.

What a fantastic pub,driven past this so many times,a real gem,amazing food and really lovely staff,great atmosphere!

Love this pub, great food and service, beer ijs good cos it's green king.
