Very disappointed. My husband had the mixed grill. The steak was inedible as it was so fatty. The sausages weren't cooked properly and were only tepid. Not enough light to tell what colour they were. The plates weren't cleared until they were bringing the dessert. We told the waitress about the steak. She said she would tell the chef, no apology, nothing! My steak was fine. The desserts were ok but not as described on the menu.

We were staying a little "out of town" and walking in, stopped at The George. Impression from outside was misleading, it's a nice "proper pub" inside. More local than tourist, except when shows are on at The Lighthouse, but very welcoming. The menu and food we saw was very tempting, so next time..... Total Madness were on later but we had ongoing plans so could only stay for one drink. Next time.....

The burger was delicious and fully loaded good pint of San Miguel. Staff were really friendly and efficient pub was clean and tidy. Good atmosphere for the football. It’s a Bonus that they have a large car park at the back of the pub that you can use for free as long as you register behind the bar. I will definitely be back and will recommend.

First time I came had the hunters chicken which was cooked really well this time I tried the pie and I wasn’t disappointed. Lots of TVs for the football and can play darts which makes a change as not many pubs have dart boards now.

The pub we used got new stupid management and so we needed another. We decided to try the George because it had a big car park and we usually had a boat on tow. Went to talk to them first as the kids were about 10. 'If they play up Ill throw them out'. I said 'Only if I dont throw them out first'. Usually arrived dripping wet always sat at the same table. Drank coke and tea. Landlord a bear of a man. Sings Christmas carols starting in July. Favourite word - bargain. Bar staff, Grace Ali and Tash. Professional courteous graceful All round beautiful people, Then there is Mrs Landlady. Beautiful people too but she cooks! Discovered Cowboy burgers, chicken tikka, soup, gammon, mixed grill, bangers and mash, fried breakfasts, roast dinner...Ive probably had more but forgot. Only once did we have a problem with a meal. It was immediately dealt with and we have never complained again. Mrs landlady has literally adjusted each and every meal for each of us! Just how we like them. She literally asks whos having what meal and does it with no fuss. Incredible. They seem to specialise in watching football. Not my thing, but they obliged when I asked to see the Dakar. Live music is usually good. Spent many hour listening to bands in there. Only iffy bit is the toilets. The urinals are set for 8 foot tall people, so wellies... Never had a crossed word or raised voices - except 'BARGAIN!' I suppose the three of us have been here about three times a week on average for the past thirteen or so years. One of the best things thats happened to us over the years was to find this pub and its staff.

It's not a great start when you have to pay to park in the pub carpark especially when it's cold, dark and/or raining. Very much a local's haunt as felt very cliquey upon entering. A rather perplexing mystery is the big children's sweets machine which has main prominence at the bar to which the lady barmaid then informed us they don't allow children? So what's the point of the machine I wonder? We then left in disgust. I would have thought in this day and age and particularly due to the pubs location that they would be doing everything to encourage custom, not put people off. Is this a deliberate cynical ploy because the pub sits on a prime development plot? I hope not. One can only guess? Time will tell.

Called in here for drinks after being at the Lighthouse and I had a beer (Palmers IPA) but when served it was cloudy and tasted off. So I said to the young barmaid that I think that this is off. She referred it to an older guy on a barstool on the patron side of the bar who shouted out loud (it was busy) that you don’t know your beer mate. Anyway, I was given another beer that wasn’t to my taste so I politely took a few gulps and left it. I do know my beers having a lifetime membership of CAMRA since being a student many years ago. Never, ever have I received such a rude dismissal in public in all the years of tasting beer ( notwithstanding being a paying customer). It’s a no brainier that I shall not return to this establishment - Marstons can do better, surely?

This place was refurbished in 2022, with no great improvement, and the menu was changed badly with prices also increased. We feel sorry for all the staff especially Mark who we got to know as he served us a lot. We are not surprised it has closed but the owners brought it on them selves by ruining the atmosphere and spoiling the food.

Shout out to a trainee barista who served me this afternoon! (I am sorry I should have asked his name) I visited the Nero around 3pm this afternoon and asking for an Iced Mocha (not Frappe) which was not on the menu. However he was willing to make me one and served with a big smile. Thank you :)
