Londsborough Arms in Selby

Really nice pub, fantastic service and a lovely cosy atmosphere, nice drinks and great value. Highly recommend!

Sunday lunch/dinner was awful. They only had theTurkey on so no beef or pork and theTurkey looked more like a gammon steak, thick and quite tasteless. It was accompanied by a stuffing ball, roast potatoes and mash potatoes, with a homemade looking Yorkshire pudding. The accompanying veg was cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and carrots and gravy. The only condiments were mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, salt and pepper. No mustard or horseradish and no cranberry sauce!! The dinner was quite tasteless and the meat was almost unidentifiable and other than the gravy, it was not warm with the potatoes being cold. Would not recommend this establishment for food, particularly dinner. Having said that, we had the full English breakfast the day before and that was quite good so we were particularly surprised that the Sunday dinner was so poor. Very disappointed.

Terrible. Rump steak big lump of gristle. Small steak. Tough as old boots. Chicken tika with just 4 bits of chicken. Steak pie was OK. Defo needs a chef.

Have already done a review for the George but would just like to say that they sent me an email to ring them to sort out the problems. I rang a few times since last Thursday and was told Jo would ring back but of course never did. It is such a shame that a lovely old pub gets so many negative reviews. It could be a great place to stay with a little care and attention and to close the nightclub at 2 am instead of about 4 am would be good. I believe the nightclub is owned by the George!!!

Nice staff but food was the worst ever. Chips cold not cooked. Chicken curry frozen. Cold is not good. Left most of it. Make your own mind up but terrible.

Very central. Large clean rooms. Good facilities inc. free Wi-Fi. Excellent breakfast included. Great pub too. Staff all helpful and friendly.

Dropped in after food elsewhere. Polite staff, found seating in restaurant area. Warm enough area. Decent beers and good Shiraz. I know we where not hotel guests but I was desperate to clean your toaster sat in the room loaded with crumbs( I work in catering).

Called in today for lunch, something we have not done for many months having been regulars before COVID. A nice pub, clean & friendly staff, but not sure why there are no plain burger options. I decided to have a Mac & Cheese BBQ burger nut would have been happier without the Mac & Cheese, my husband would have prefered a plain burger too but as he doesn't like Mac & Cheese he was basically left with the hot chilli burger. I appreciate the need to a different offering to other venues but a nice simply plain burger choice or a build your own option would be a great addition.

Visited in May & found the drinks expensive compared to the local Wetherspoons. Would not go back though.

Popped in for a spot of lunch 7/5/22 at the George Inn. Very busy, pub full of wedding guest pre wedding. Great choice on the menu. Opted for small Fish and chips with bread and butter as an add-on, also double burger with spicy nduja pork on top. Both meals came out piping hot, great taste. It's not gastro nor fine dining but neither is the price. Will definitely call in again for lunch next time in Selby. Great service by Coxy & Ning Ning.

Visited the george inn on a day visit to selby. Had several drinks at a reasonable price,staff were friendly and a great location next to the cathedral. Ordered some food which after an hour eventually came Both meals were stone cold and and steak had more grissel than meat when waiter came to take plates away asked if everything was alright we said no everything was cold and steak was terrible to which he replied would pass the message on.we waited 20 mins for someone to come over and apologise but to no avail . Extremely disappointed at the customer service or should I say lack of it.We will not be visiting again and would not recommend to any of our friends visiting the area.

Had a lovely afternoon in The George today when meeting up with family. Originally we were only having drinks but ended up buying food. We shared the sharing board between up all and what lovely food it was, the presentation on the board it is served on added to the experience. The staff were a delight to talk to and helped when choosing from the wide selection of gins. We will be back.

Last-minute lad's night out catching up with old friends and can honestly say that the staff at The George were amazing coping with us lot. Not only were they not expecting a group of guys to just turn up, but we were also not the most organised. The staff were amazing and it was nice to be able to have a laugh with them.

Came for food while at my Daughters. We entered from the front and saw the pub was quite busy. There seems to be no specific eating or just drinking area. As football was on the screens there was little room inside so we went out back in the beer garden. We ordered burgers and didn't have to wait long . Food was as good as expected no frills cheap and cheerful.. price was fair service good.. please just wipe the bird poo from the tables outside if people have to eat at them.

Good points- comfy bed, car park, breakfast, pool table, close to trains and our son. Bad points - bar food awful like a cheap microwave dinner(addressed with Natalie), TV in room weak signal most channels, noise from night owners shouting and arguing under our bedroom windows at 4 30 am, overpriced at £89 a night.

When I came the area was clean and tidy, the place was warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly and very helpful. While I was there the food came out cold (a member of staff was able to redo these for us) which came out...

The Steak and Ale Pie looked totally overcooked to the point of being inedible and the Hunters Chicken May as well have been made of rubber. Not a good experience

Where to start? 2 night stay, rooms not cleaned after the 1st night, nor was the tea/coffee/milk in the rooms topped up - I take my coffee black so I gave my spare milk pods to Mum. The rooms were not exactly the cleanest to...

We unfortunately didnt stay here but called in for drinks everyday and ate a couple of times while staying in Selby, the staff are so helpful, friendly and welcoming we will stay here when we visit again.

Well after this mornings experience with the male server who was on and his micro-agressions and micro-racism towards my friend whilst been perfectly polite with the white people, calling us all pet names but being very short and rude with my Turkish friend. This is...

Lovely beer garden, but let down from poor service. 20 mins to be served, when it was quiet. Seemed to be one guy who were doing all the work. The Chef was lovely, and happy there was vegan options.

Did not feel safe in here. Had to wait for food and it was not busy. Staff look bored and not wanted to be there. Felt like cattle taking our money then not bothering

Short story. We went for a drink. Initially it felt safe, they seemed keen to make sure social distancing measures and hygiene rules are respected. Staff a bit unpleasant, but nothing to write home about, we thought they probably have a lot to deal with,...

First visit, rather disapointing. Staff were only bearable, appeared that they should rather be else wear. Food run of the mill, perhaps we caught all of the team on a bad day.

We visited today in a group of 7 at lunchtime. Service was friendly, staff were helpful. Our food arrived in good time. Unfortunately my meal was disappointing - I ordered the vegan soya burger, which I expected to have a ‘meaty’ texture but it was...

My friend and I visited tried to order the Yorkshire pudding role. Not available so went for the steak and ale pie not available. Then the steak guess what ? Ended up with cold fish fingers and a disgusting chicken pie.

this is a nice place, the food was very good with a decent portion. however it loses a mark as we had to complain about the fact that the food arrived cold and we had to have it changed. some of the staff were helpful...

The outside of the building oozed character which is what pulled us in. Food average, service slow - a one off visit for us.

We visited t have food and saw they have changed the menu. We feel there is not as much choice now. The choice of burgers is not as good.

... no decaffeinated coffee, gluten-free food "could not be guaranteed", poached eggs "off menu" because of "Health & Safety" (???)

A very good choice of evening menu at very reasonable prices.Everything from Tapas boards to steaks.pizzas,burgers etc and a good selection of sweets.

Stopped in for a Sunday Roast. It's a standard Pub with indoor and outdoor seating. The amount food provided for the price was decent. Found the roast tough to cut and eat. The chicken breast was fine along with the potatoes, and veggies.

We stopped here whilst cycling and had lunch. It was OK pub grub at a fairly reasonable price. Unless you like sport you wouldn't want to sit inside as there are TV screens everywhere.

We stayed here while visiting Tour de Yorkshire so knew it would be busy but there still seemed insufficient staff. Breakfast on first day was chaotic with no fruit juice /2 slices of bread/ no cups or plates and a harrassed waiter who reluctantly took...

Spotted the menu while on a day out and was very impressed by all the vegetarian options. What we ordered did not disappoint and it was very good value. Pub was nicely decorated inside, clean and quiet and overall a very good lunch, would definitely...

The staff are friendly and helpful they are very quick to help you if a issues arises and the cooking staff especially Sam and Terri make sure you meals are spot on couldn't ask for more this hotel is absolutely fantastic and the town is...

Had a great stay here on Saturday 19th Jan. Check in was fine, no problems parking car, room was nice. Staff were very friendly ( special mention for Terry who was a good laugh and also Doug the chef). Breakfast was good. Will definately stay...

We stayed at The George Inn for one Night ,as we were seeing a Gig in the Town Hall,We were Greeted on arrival by very friendly Bar Staff,our room was lovely ,very clean with a view of Selby Abbey, it was our first time at...

Food was similar to Wetherspoons frozen microwaved or fried. It was cheap enough. Restaurant tables were dirty though we had to ask for it be wiped and even then it was cleaned with polish and a sticky cloth? It just needed some spray and a...

We booked our stay here based on the website, it said it was family friendly it definitely was not!it was extremely noisy, people propping up the bar Drinking alcohol at 8am every morning. The staff were very rude and not at all helpful if you...

My partner and I visited today and was pleasantly surprised how warm the welcome was from the bar staff. The food was great for the price and the hot chocolate was too did for in this very cold day. Only issue was the smoking door...

Stayed here for business The staff were excellent especially Rachel Who made you feel completely special and helped were she could. I will be back as it’s a gem of a place The food is on the mark and lots of it and at a...

3 of us went to The George on a Monday night which is MEGA meal night. The food portions are larger than average on this menu. The boys went for the curry, which they said was good but seemed small & only 1 pop/1 naan....

So Sunday night quiet and three people come to the bar wait ten minutes for someone to actually appear behind the bar. In the meantime three additional people walk in see the bar staff are nowhere to be seen and walk straight out.

Two of us went for lunch in the The george today(Wednesday 29/08/18. One of us had The Wednesday special, a pie meal and it was ok. I had the mixed grill , it all came in a very quick time. The gammon was slightly raw...

Really enjoyed sitting outside at the front of the George people watching great spot especially when there's a christening or wedding.

My father in law has just spent 4 weeks at the George in Selby. He found the experience ok, but I found it to be dirtysome of the staff especially the manager could be quite rude at times. Would not recommend.

Spent 2 - 3 hours on a sunny Friday afternoon. Didn’t eat, sat outside, very pleasant. Popped back in after going to a restaurant, sat in beer garden at the back, very busy. Good drinks prices

Went here with family and friends and from start to finish it wasn’t very good. We ordered two fish & chips and were not told they only had cod & charged extra. That wasn’t too much of an issue but when it came it was...

Formerly known as the Londesborough Hotel....which was a dirty run down & derepessing place with dirty tables, scruffy decor & poor food......somewhere we would not have chosen to eat......but heard a few good reports so thought we would give it a try......it was a revelation...

Despite being modernised, it is still a little grubby. Ladies toilets are freezing, the taps barely work and water is freezing, and the hand dryer is cold too. Food actually isn't bad. Current staff don't seem very friendly.

i went to the george with my support worker. first of all i ordered the steak sandwhich which was £8.49 i had ordered then i was told that the steak was off and i chose to have a chicken club sandwhich which was £7.29 so...

I came in with a group of friends for my birthday on monday lunch time. Great service, couldnt fault them. As you all know it is a bar where you order your food at the bar, but because there was so many of us, a...

I went to the George on Fri the 26th, there were 13 of Us, the meals was Fantastic, the staff was very help full, customer service was excellent, and I would like to thank the chef for coming into work to deal with our party...

Cosy pub with a selection of comfortable seating,drinks are reasonably priced and it's a beautiful place, the beer garden ( even though it's too cold to use) is spacious and will be great in the summer, bar staff are well trained. This being said I...

Visited tea time Saturday and the place had plenty in. Drinks prices are about average for a town centre pub, pleasant bar maid who knew what she was doing. Had a sharing plank for two, something new to me but quite nice. Will go again.

Complicated menue array which even confused staff. Food debris on tables and floor. Tinned/frozen veg, plenty of meat.

It’s cheap (but you’ve still been robbed!). Looks nice from outside. Menu (obviously chain menu should offer some warnings). But hey people need reviews, so I braved the experience. Went to bar was like the Mary Celeste! Eventually some one appeared 5 min later. Went...

5 stars for the bar staff on duty Thursday lunchtime, very helpful, polite and welcoming, we will be back again.

Before it was refurbished, I'd stopped going here due to the extremely tatty seating. Now it's better and I will go again, but my expectations based on a couple of recent visits are not high.

Just got back from holiday and came in for a pint and some food as not been in since the REFURB!!! Walked in ordered a beer with girlfriend and her brother and were reading the menu this was around 1ish . Then in comes selby...

We went for a wedding reception and then stayed overnight. Tripadvisor has many adverse reviews on this Pub, so we went with low expectations - but came away very happy. It is a local busy pub in a town that is struggling to renovate itself....

We were here bank hol mon we ordered our food & got our drink's 11.40ish only 2 staff, by 12 it started getting busy by 12.10 i asked how much longer for our order reply was it should'nt be long!! by this time place was...

The George Inn takes pride of place in central Selby, right next to the town's famous Abbey. This establishment has recently undergone a renovation. It has a handsome facade and is in a prime location for the town, and for those seeking access to the...

I have 11 in my family... made to feel welcome. The young lady gave the little ones something to do while waiting for the meals. Meals very reasonably priced and well presented, Tasted very nice too. If you have a large family want excellent service...

This inn also has quite a large bar and eating area. It is located close to Selby Abbey and is operated by the Stonegate Pub Company. It looks attractive and we decided to visit for lunch on a Saturday. It was not very busy and...

I visited the establishment on a nice sunny Saturday afternoon as part of my ale trail. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the place but once you have visited one Wetherspoons, you have visited The George Inn as well. This is a Wetherspoons wannabe but...

Visited for birthday as wanted to give it a chance following refurbishment and change of name. It took a long time to order as the girl behind the counter said she was having trouble with her eyes. Ordered the gammon with a drink for my...

Visit date Sat 8th July. From the number of people sitting in the beer garden of this pub it looked worth visiting for a light lunch. We were allowed in through a rear entrance (we had our dogs in tow) and chose to sit in...

Never again. The food was 30 minutes to arrive told was no wait on. When it came it was cold. Could not complain to anyone because bar was full and manager was on his phone. Can tell its a chain pub. We had been here...

Went there on Saturday night (17th June) and the bar service was dreadful. As usual there were not enough staff behind the bar and the bar staff had no concept of who to serve next. I'd been waiting for over 10 minutes and they continually...

Was in the area for a while during the week, didn't eat but had a quick drink. Clean and tidy and very friendly staff. I personally think it's an ok place to go.

When to see how it looked after changes order a chicken and pasta dish it was horrible won't go back.

I always try to be fair but i think this was possible the worst plate of food ever placed in front of me .i ordered wings as a starter and although not great were ok.i ordered gammon as a main but this was given to...

Went for a drink with my husband on Saturday night, can't say there's much difference inside except it is cleaner and tidier. Outside at the front looks great but the rear beer garden is still a mess been like that for years, could do with...

Me and my husband have visited the George Inn several times since its re-opening. We once again went in on Saturday 6th May and received fantastic service both at the bar and table by a girl called Kerry. We asked for her name as we...

Not a very interesting place to eat. Poor quality food. Very noisy place at nigth special during weekend.

We understand that this pub has recently had a make over. When you walk in it is very clean and tidy and the bar staff were very helpful. We picked a table and viewed the menu which is like most large chained pubs nowadays went...

Called in at this recently refurbished " coaching Inn " situated in the shadow of Selby Abbey, the day was really hot and the outside tables were perfect for a refreshing Lager after our visit to the splendid Abbey. The interior is superb and the...

We went for breakfast on the first last Saturday and at eleven thirty now menu we were told they'd taken them down we then pointed out that it clearly states that breakfast was served while 12 so after a very rude reply she gave us...

Yes, the place has been spruced up .....ish. Because of the refurbishment, we decided to give it another try. The menu is very similar to its predecessor, great if you like lots of greasy food. As a previous writer experienced, the mixed grill was missing...

Unfortunately I have had to rate this as poor but have never actually eaten here, first time we tried we asked if they were serving food, were told yes so we ordered some drinks, sat down and when no more than 15 minutes later we...

I was going to put a 2 on the review but I changed it to 3 as you never know what might be happening behind the scenes (lack of resources, chef lost his glasses, etc). Ordered a mixed grill for me and my partner ordered...

Went in with friends for lunch as it has recently been refurbished, every meal that was order came out wrong or with items missing off the meals. There was other people sat near by us that was also having the same problems with their meals....

I think this pub has been remodelled recently, so I'm not sure if the menu has changed as a result. When I visited with my wife we had a good meal at a fair price.

We walked in to a loud and unattractive pub and sat at a filthy table. Someone came to take the glasses and condiments away and clearly saw the state of the table. Never returned to clean it. Would not recommend to anyone. Horrible.

very good food its good for food on a budget 2 meals 7.99 and very good portions.ive visited more than a few times and always impressed

We visited at lunchtime and went for a Sharing Platter at the Saturday Special price of £7.99. For that we chose generous helpings of spicy breaded prawns with salad and tartare sauce, chips with chicken, cheese and chorizo topping (yummy!), breaded chicken goujons with BBQ...

We hadn't been to Selby for many years but last time we were we had our lunch here enjoyed it and decided to make a return visit, the place was deserted but so was the market place. The staff we're okay but certainly not dedicated...

Four of us ordered lunch here. The meals seemed to take a long time coming and when they finally arrived the chips were only lukewarm. My meal,a courgette cannelloni,tasted too strong as if there were too many flavourings. The chicken that another of us had...

The Londesborough has been in selby for years and years as a hotel and pub/eatery good beer good food.

Pedimos sándwiches y rollos de sub. Me tardó años en llegar, pero milagrosamente se apareció después preguntó cuánto tiempo estarían. Parecían como si hubieran sido sentado en la cocina para una edad. Seco y muy apetecible. La ensalada parecía como si hubiera estado en el plato para la mejor parte del día. Generalmente sucia y necesita decoración. Tan decepcionante, sobre todo porque recordamos el hotel desde los días en que era un hotel muy bonito. Así ha ido cuesta abajo.

TV in bar with good range of drinks and friendly staff. Toilets and general furnishings clean but basic.

La última vez que comimos en los brazos Londesborough pedí una lasaña que posteriormente dedujimos era superficial de congelados y el "chef" incluso se las arreglaron para arruinar esto - vino frío en un extremo y quemada en la otra. Mencioné esto al camarero y me dijeron que "no tienen un chef el dj es tener que hacerlo". Cíñete a mate de música. La comida en el pub es simplemente horrible y caro. No comeré allí a menos que contratan chefs que realmente pueden cocinar y bajar sus precios.

Mi esposa estaba lejos con la familia así que pensé después de una larga semana de trabajo me tratan a mí que una comida. Pedimos un desayuno durante todo el día. Realmente no podemos equivocar puede...?

Called in for a Sunday dinner having fond memories of the place from years ago well how dissapointed was I food arrived beef was like the sole of my shoe and didn't taste remotely of beef soggy Yorkshire pudding raw roast potatoes no carrots on plate as stated on menu the only thing edible was mashed potatoes told waiter on feedback who walked away as soon as I mentioned I wasn't happy ended up going elsewhere and paying for my meal again safe to say I will never return

Had such a lovely meal today with my bestmate both truefully enjoyed the meal and at bar the service couldnt be much better however when the lady came to clear the table after we eaten didnt ask if he would like anything else or if everything was good for us ... the food was fabulous thanks to the chef visited 7 th aug

El menú 'estilo wetherspoons 'parecía muy prometedor cuando llegamos. Pedimos salchichas y puré de patatas y coliflor tarta de queso. Las salchichas estaban bien, pero el puré era como pegamento. Llegó con cebolla cruda y guisantes, que estaban flotando en unos galones de salsa aguada. Me gusta mi salsa pero esta era ridículo. La tarta, que resultó ser un higo, acudió pastelería de hierro que era incomible, zanahorias congeladas y congelados roasties y más puré de pegamento. Como puede haber adivinado, no le prisa en volver.

Fuimos y preguntó si estaba bien para llevar en nuestro diminuto teckel pequeño en una bolsa... el personal del bar dijo que sí. Pedimos nuestra comida, pero entonces otro miembro del personal llegó y dijo no se admiten perros, explicamos que nos pide al entrar, pero ella no lo mueven. Francamente me alivió ya que el lugar era un infierno sucio, desaliñado y con asientos de rasgado pegajosa cerveza planta de olor. No estoy seguro de que podría haber dado el horrible comida stomached. BRAVO BRAVO

Visitamos con la familia una comida de cumpleaños, la comida, el servicio y el ambiente era fantástico. Las porciones eran enormes y cocinado a la perfección. El personal era increíble, nada era demasiado problema nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y estamos deseando volver. Gracias especiales al personal y el chef.
