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

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.

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?

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!

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!

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.

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.

I'll start with the positives - They squeezed us in for Sunday Lunch when we did not have a reservation. They were well-staffed. They had a lot of options for veggies and vegans. Now on to the rest. I've never have such a grim plate of food that was not a mistake. I had the mushroom wellington which came with seasonal veg, roast potatoes and stuffing. The wellington had no flavour other than pearl onions. I would have been more accurate to call it a pearl onion pie, the stuffing was a tiny block of dried-out leather, and the veg was a pile of soft, boiled stuff that could not be distinguished from each other other than the occasional bald kale stalk that caught in your teeth, Finally the roast potatoes... Tasting these made me pine for some kind of Aunt Bessie's frozen roast potato. They had clearly been peeled and cut and left out to go brown and dry out then thrown in the oven with no fat or seasoning at all -though, dry, flavourless. I watched my brother, who had the beef I think, try to subtly deal with a skin on his gravy thick enough to make a jacket out of. The staff were nice but I really would shift their customer service training a tiny bit as about three times a clearly emotional conversation was interrupted for unimportant queries and not briefly. Lastly, a lemon cordial with water not soda and no ice was 3.30 on our bill. We are all used to wild beer and wine prices but I feel like there is an unspoken rule of cool in pubs across the country that the one option for people who are struggling financially is cordial. In conclusion, thank you for accommodating us but my word I won't come again.

Poor service! After 1 hour waiting found out the waiter hadn't put our order through to the kitchen and had lost it so had to reorder! Desserts also took over 30 minutes after ordering. Roast beef was inedible tough and stringy and losts of gristle. Veg very underdone for my liking. Roasts were poor but children's meals were good and burgers looked nice. Very disappointing lunch, especially as we had brought family with us, and will not be returning for food again. Nice garden to enjoy a drink in summer though.

staff not that friendly as some say. depends who their serving, cleanliness could do with improvement not always clean inside or out. i was shown up by the manager and a member of staff last time i was in there Infront of other customers. i will never go in there again. i have been to other Costas and got a much better experience and very friendly. and just a note to add not that has anything to do with the service, but one of the girls was sacked from there for taking 2 sandwiches but the managers farther get coffee and food free and sits in there all day, one rule for one as the saying goes.
