Old Royal George in Hambleton

Beautiful home cooked food,friendly helpful staff.definitely will be returning soon . In fact we have booked up for our Sunday lunch,absolutely cannot wait.

Booked a room wanted to have a meal too. Got there to book in nobody on site pitch black eventually chef let us in attacked by dog, stay away

Booked my parents in for 2 week stay after seeing reviews and photos, to say I was embarrassed was an understatement. Room serviced only twice in the 2 weeks, leaking roof which wasn’t fixed till middle of 2nd week. The continental breakfast that was in the room on arrival was still there on departure, out of date. The room was of poor standard and the exterior was dirty nothing like the photo’s. I am still trying to work out what the £952 was actually for. There were other issues as well but safe to say I will not be booking them in next year for their visit.

About 20 of us from the Northallerton u3a Pub lunch group came here on Friday 26-Jun-23 for lunch. They catered for us very well and the food was excellent. I had pan fried mussels as a starter and a plain paramo with chips and onion rings. All good. My wife had the lamb shank and the cheesecake. The rest of the menu was excellent too. Thoroughly recommend!!

New to the area couldn’t have wished for a nicer place to eat evening meal. Good beer, early dinner quick service. Loverly friendly staff and landlady and her family. Will return. Highly recommended.

Lovely pub , however when ordering over the phone for a takeaway Martin was great helpful but the chef was not helpful he wanted to know if we wanted it the same day went through what he could do like a train! Got the food which was lovely , went for drinks the other night a young girl went to the bar approx 7-20pm asked if she could order chips and the chef clearly didn’t want to make them, he will be the downfall of a lovely pub his attitude is just not right at all , how many people have decided not to go back or order … is this worth risking ?

our first visit and it won't be our last. Lovely, traditional pub, served by (we think) the landlord, and today's new starter barman, both very friendly. Both had the roast pork, served with additional dish of vegetables, followed by jam sponge and custard, and a caramel cheesecake. Everything was delicious, yes we would go again.

Came here for a steak as we like trying to find hidden gems with great steaks. Not the best we have had and waited a while for it to come also, not sure why as there were only 2 tables occupied. Prices weren’t too bad and parking is over the busy road. Probably won’t return

Went here with 3 friends after work. Seated and served with drinks quickly. Too many things on the menu that I wanted! There was a special deal on 2 courses for £9.00. Ate off the normal menu. I had cajun chicken pizza, another friend had paramo and the final 2 had steak pie. The steak pie came with either mash or chips and also veg. My friends said it was beautiful and the steak was in huge lumps and really tender. The chicken paramo was HUGE!!! Bigger than my friend. My pizza was massive and very tasty. 2 of us had dessert and again these were huge. I ended up taking half if each dessert home for my husband. with a drink each the bill was around £20.00 per person. Great service as well. Highly recommended but make sure you don't eat for a week before hand.

What a brilliant, professional, high quality find. Stayed here with some fellow bikers doing the coast to coast route. Start to finish we were all super impressed, amazing quality accommodation for the price, brilliant home cooked food snd just brilliant hosts. Food, drink, b&b or any combination give this place a go - they’re brilliant - thank you.

Very nice pub with food - had Sunday lunch and the food was great. Wine was disappointing being only Jack Rabbit Merlot or Shiraz. As a result only 4 stars

Visited with friends who had been previously-warm friendly welcome from Shirley and her team-good wholesome food with good choice for vegetarians/vegans at dinner and breakfast.-stayed in the plum room which is spacious and accessible for persons with disability. Electric shower in room not very powerful but that will not put us off making return visits.

This isn't a gastropub. It's a bit more like an episode of The League of Gentleman. Very strange. Food burnt, overcooked and a bit tasteless. A massive disappointment.

This is going to be really quick really simple Do not copy a menu which you have no experience or expertise in cooking...menu looks amazing, Food in comparison to the menu was terrible! I don't know where they have got this menu from but it's obviously copied from someone who has cooking skills SHOCKING

We have been as a family a few times now, the staff are welcoming and the food is top knotch , definately going back.

Cant fault it even in these hard times food and service was absolutely spot on well done royal george

Having lived a few miles away for a number of years, we felt it was time to give The Old royal George a try for sunday lunch and we were not disappointed, we all had the silverside roast which was beautifully cooked and so tender it was falling apart off the fork, their mashed potato was to me, absolutely perfect, the Yorkshire pud was on the mark too, wasn't too keen on the roast potatoes but the other veg was spot on. The level of service is comparable to some of the high end restaurants I've been to which in a village pub is excellent news, the building itself appears to have been an old coaching inn which has been added to and added to over the years, this is reflected in the fact that the pub is far deeper off the road than the roadside frontage hints at.Judging by the high standard of food and that they also do Bed and Breakfast from £65/night, this lovely pub on the road between Leeming Bar and Northallerton would be an ideal base from which to explore both the North Yorkshire moors and the northern pennines area of outstanding natural beauty.

Four of us went for Sunday Lunch, what a great treat, it was one of the best Sunday lunches we have had in a long time. We have been in some post restaurants and had to send the meat back! But this lunch was exceptional. I sent our compliments to the chef. We did not have a desert just because the meal was so good we couldn’t eat any more. Service was good. The river near by had closed the road but people had driven from Catterick to get to there , and one of our party was also from Catterick. We recommend the Royal George it was great. Well done.

Called in on spec for a Saturday lunch. Friendly welcome, good draft beers, tasty sandwiches in a traditional pub. Great value. A place to take visitors to the area.

Called here yesterday Sunday 13th for Sunday lunch,we both had chicken. I had small and husband had normal ,very impressed with portion size and very tasty and very filling.very friendly owners and staff , will be calling again. Lovely quirky pub.

We called in for Sunday lunch as we were passing. They couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. We felt very welcomed. We had the small lamb and beef Sunday dinner and also ordered a kids lamb. The only fault I could find is that the roast potatoes could have done with being hotter. Everything else was spot on. Even down to the sweets they brought my niece when they brought us mints after the dinner. Such a lovely touch. At £30 for the three of us including drinks. We were full the the top and very satisfied. We would definitely come again.

My husband and I dropped in here on way down South. Very impressed! I had tuna and cheese baguette with home made chips and salad. My husband had roast beef toasted sandwich with thick gravy, chips and salad. Not often we see home made chips now! Absolutely delicious and superb service! Will definitely be back.Stevie and Fiona ThomsonGlasgow

We received a very warm welcome from the hosts. Our mother is a wheelchair user and the owners were so helpful. Rooms were very clean with everything you need, a nice touch with toiletries and dressing gowns, warm and comfortable rooms with disabled access. The breakfast was amazing, huge portion and again the hosts would give you whatever you wanted. We ate in the pub both nights and had lovely home cooked food, very generous portions and very good value. As a base for exploring the Dale's would highly recommend. The family really make this place like home. Thank you for a lovely stay .

We had planned to go to the New Inn at Thrintoft but it was closed so this was the nearest choice. It's a strange little pub - very dated. However we all enjoyed the food. We had mains and deserts - good size portions and good value. The chips were proper home made chips and were yummy. The one thing I didn't like was at the end when we were paying the bill, the landlady was watching us closely almost as if she didn't trust us. It felt a bit unsettling. But we would come back again.

The food here is very nice but I’m afraid it could do with a lot of money spending on the place. Sticky tables and carbolic smelling toilets. Sorry but it’s true.

Lovely Sunday lunch very friendly and welcoming staff. Can highly recommend it for Sunday lunch or specials during the week

First visit. Dropped in around 2.00p.m. Asked for a pale ale , handed a sample to try without asking !Great! We ordered a grilled sandwich and a baked omelette, both came piping hot with tasty fries and mixed salad. An inexpensive meal. Friendly staff, will definitely call in again.

Stayed here for two nights. A little confusing at first as pub was closed late afternoon when we arrived but were given room keys and got sorted. Beds were a little short but comfortable. Pub was friendly and welcoming and breakfast was absolutely fantastic. All in all a very nice place

This is the ideal property to stay for peace, quiet and relaxation, the rooms are immaculate and have everything you need for your stay, the beds are so comfortable. The food is amazing very tasty but don’t go large, the portions are rather large to start with. The staff are so friendly and helpful and can’t do enough for their guests, this is the second time I have been here and do intend to go again. Left feeling relaxed and full as a gun after a very heart tasty breakfast

Visited yesterday with my wife and mother for Sunday lunch . Good value , large portions with very tender meats . Helpful staff . Worth a trip

A lunchtime birthday meal that was just spot on! We ate in the cosy snug, the much larger bar was showing a World Cup football match. The menu was classic pub grub, the very helpful staff offered to tailor many of the choices to suit my vegetarian wife (including offering to bake a veggie pie from scratch!!). Very much appreciated. Quality of our food was excellent, needless to say the service was even better! We declined the dessert menu as we were ‘full to busting’ from the ample portions of fish & chips and veggie frittata. We will return, maybe for a B & B stay?

My father has recently moved into the area so we popped into this pub for a quick drink after visiting him. My husband caught sight of a steak being brought out to a couple who were eating there and we decided to stay and eat. There were no vegetarian options on the menu which proved awkward for me. Jamie, the chef, overheard me asking if there was anything vegetarian available at all. He was wonderfully friendly, sat at our table and offered to cook me any dish I would like. He had various meat replacement products available if required, however, we settled on a vegetable curry. The curry was the best I've had in a very long time..a huge portion with rice and naan bread, wonderfully spicy with huge chunks of vegetables. If you are vegetarian, vegan or require gluten free/dairy free meals, speak to the chef and he will come up with a great meal that's suitable and tasty. Staff and customers were friendly, food was great and I would happily recommend this pub to anybody. Thanks Jamie! (Incidentally, my husband's steak was great too!)

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was dehydrated like had been left out overnight the veg had just been placed in the microwave. Do not go to this pub. Scruffy

Second visit to Old Royal George Morton in Swale for Sunday Lunch. Variable menu served by pleasant helpful staff. Meals reasonably priced and good sized portions. Booking advisable during busy times. Well worth a visit.

There were 21 of us. Promised bread rolls and got sliced bread. Each type of main course was served separately without the veg. So by the time I got my plate of turkey the people having fish had eaten theirs to prevent it getting cold. The meats were served without gravy, it came later with the veg. Too late. Seems wrong to have the vegafter the meat! The cranberry sauce arrived when everyone had finished. Sprouts were half over and half underdone. I cut into a roast potato and it bounced off my plate onto someone else’s. 1 person got a slice of apple pie swimming in custard and I got 1 spoon of custard for the Xmas pud. The pastry was not fully baked on the lid of the mince pie. I took it home to show my daughter who is a check. Waitress in a bad mood! So all in all a very poor Christmas meal.

This is the second time we have been here a year and a half a part.

We have been a few times now and absolutely love the atmosphere and the food! Fantastic portion sizes and the staff are lovely too. On our first visit an issue arose and the lady behind the bar was quick to help.

We had had Sunday lunch here and my husband opted to have his birthday celebration here with the family so there were seven of us for dinner. We ordered two mixed grills and the rest of us had different dishes. The place wasn't very busy and we ordered drinks and waited for our meal, we ordered more drinks and waited. We actually waited for an hour for our meals. We were eventually ushered into the restaurant which was much cooler than the bar. The food arrived and you couldn't complain about the portion sizes which were huge, so much so they were probably too big. My husband had the mixed grill which could have fed the whole table. There was so much food on the plate that it was quite off putting. Probably the best looking meals on the table were the bacon chops and the steak from the specials board. I had the bacon and chicken linguini but it was really too big and would have served three people. My husband's portion was so large we brought the meat home for the cats. There was so much meat it could have done for at least another two meals. We wee all too full for pudding but i had rang the restaurant and asked them make a birthday cake which they did, which was a really nice touch. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place is not for me. It is bursting at the seams with nick nacks and odd ornaments, none of which seem to match. My husband says it is has not changed for 30 odd years. The bill was very reasonable.

I stayed here whilst completing the Swale Way. The room was comfortable and the food very good. The hostess was very welcoming and helpful. The packed lunch provided was very substantial. Would recommend this establishment.

If your looking for a beautiful traditional pub that serves fantastic food look no further!!! My wife, I two daughters and a friend had Sunday lunch here yesterday and it was amazing. 2 beef dinners, 2 pork and a steak and ale pie. The portions were generous and the food delicious, all of the meats melted in your mouth, big Yorkshire puddings and fantastic crackling. The 3 girls had sticky toffee pudding which was also lovely. The staff were welcoming and friendly throughout our visit and made us feel right at home.

Its got such character. A really lovely style about it. Food is amazing and portions are huge. Loved it. Will definitely be going back again.

Excelente opción en el menú. Grandes porciones que en equidad es una desventaja para los propietarios ya que no pidas entrantes o budines. La comida siempre es muy bueno y lo recomiendo a todos.

Nos dirigíamos a York y decidimos comer antes nos reunimos en familia. Nos salimos de la autopista y decidimos parar en el primer lugar que hizo bien. Normalmente son mala suerte con nuestras opciones, pero no el viernes. El personal era muy amable y la comida era excepcional. Gran torta de carne para mí y una carne y cebolla baguette para mi esposa tanto con una amplia porción de patatas fritas caseras.

Nos habíamos ido para mi cumpleaños el fin y quería tener una comida agradable steak el sábado por la noche y se sugirió que visite la vieja Royal George. Probablemente fue la mejor sugerencia que he recibido. La hospitalidad fue excelente, la comida era increíble el bistec cocinado a la perfección y terminado con un queso de increíble y crackers selección. Volveré la próxima vez que estemos en la zona. Sólo desearía que vivimos más cerca.

Myself and my husband ate here tonight and can honestly say the food was delicious,my hubby went for the mini mixed grill lol,trust me there was nothing mini about it,I had a chicken parmo and could only manage half of it,bit gutted about that because it was so tasty. The place is really pretty and quaint,staff were really nice friendly,think they should do a meal challenge on the large mixed grill lol I can't imagine anyone being able to finish it. Will definitely go back and would highly recommend the place to anyone.

My and wife and I ordered the Sunday Lunch, I got the large and my wife the small. My goodness the size and portion of meat was enormous all cooked to perfection. Amazing value for money and the staff were so friendly, we know where to go now on our way back home to York.

I feel I need to say thank you to the staff and regulars at George for helping me celebrate my birthday. The food was above and beyond my hopes. The way the various diet needs were catered for was exceptional. Oh yes. The whiskey. We loved the whiskey. Big shout out to Julie and Gabby for keeping up with plates and the extra work.

The "mini" mixed grill was amazing for £12.50, good quality meat. Nice and cosy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

I visit here regularly and Shirley, Neil and all the staff always make me feel welcome. All the food is cooked to order from scratch, so although it may take longer to get your food than other places, it is well worth the wait. Good choice on the menu and good portions - I can never manage 3 courses! Also a good selection of beers. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Quirky little pub, small but really cosy and nice place to eat.Great menu, good choice of starters and mains with something for everyone. I ordered a small fish and chips which came out and was huge! All cooked fresh, the fish was lovely with light crisp batter and home made chips. My husband had a lamb dish on sautéed potatoes, it was absolutely delicious, again a decent sized portion and cooked from fresh. Really good value and left totally full!

Went out for a meal with friends, meal came after nearly an hour even though just 2 tables being used for dinner. Food over cooked. Service not great. Unfortunately later that night became sick with vomiting. Appalling will not be returning or recommending

This is an old world pub at the edge of the Yorkshire Dales. The food is excellent and very plentiful. They also provide accommodation in a purpose built modern rooms at the rear of the building. We spent two nights here and can only give praise. The staff were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble for them. The breakfasts were enormous and of good quality, other meals were equally as good.Try the mixed grill. If we are in the district again we will certainly say here again.

I visited here in December 2016 for a meal with family and it was spot on. Very good quality food with home cooked chips which I loved! Portion size were very big too. Decent selection of ales to wash the grub down with too. They do a quiz night on a Thursday also which normally means the pub is very busy. Excellent local which I would definitely recommend!

What can I say excellent, plentiful food. Puddings abit hit and miss on quality. Service good. Pub could do with a revamp.

This is a unique and very different pub it's traditional and like a step back in time.The food though is bang up to date.The staff are very friendly and efficient making sure everyone is kept fed and happy.The basic 3 course menu for Christmas has to be the best value anywhere.We had the main Christmas menu which was superb the meals are huge all freshly cooked and served beautifully.This is a great place if you don't like the modern synthetic type of eatery the food is all fresh and cooked properly not mass produced.Will definitely going back after Christmas to try the daily menu.The opening hours aren't regular so you would need to check beforehand but well worth a visit.

Wanna a great meal for a great price? Park up across the road, dodge the traffic and take the door on the left as you enter. A charming tall ship themed room will be the base for a generous feed at a reasonable price. Always nice when the clients and hosts are friendly and on our three visits this has invariably been the case. This is no fine dining experience but we have dined finely every time.

Came for a Sunday lunch meat tasted like it was cooked days b4 and the veg was dry and was probably reheated a well the chips were stale probably microwaved the staff were very unfriendly and I would not recommend going here

Came in with a friend for a few quiet drinks we were the only ones in the pub and was not made to feel welcome at all and felt pressured into finishing our drinks and leaving by ten o'clock was gonna call in for a Sunday lunch but unsure if we will now dissapointed

Food was nice, had the Sunday lunch. Large portions, nice meat and plenty of vegs. Just felt the service massively let the place down, especially the older lady waiting on, she made us feel pretty unwelcome. Not one smile the whole time, felt like we were an inconvenience to be honest. Don't have a basket of kids toys available if it's an issue them having them out playing with them. Won't be going back I'm afraid.

Fabulous staff, great food but far too much on the plate! A warning of the large portions on the menu would be good! B&B was super - room comfortable and accessible with my disability - the non-slip mats on decking after the rain were a necessity! Warm Yorkshire welcome - and nothing too much trouble. Great atmosphere in the pub and restaurant. Breakfast cooked to order and no discrimination for not wanting black pudding! ha ha I would have given 5 star rating if there had been a suitcase stand in the room, a more solid toilet seat and a warning on the menu of the huge portions but these are such small things and are meant only to give constructive advice (as I have already emailed to the proprietors). thank you for a super weekend.

This place is never going to hold a Michelin Star, but don't let that put you off. Well cooked homely honest food, at a cost that will not break the bank and a quantity that will leave you requiring a Christmas nap. It is 'traditional only' on Sundays, which is no issue, but if I'd like a sausage for a four year old instead of your usual roast meat, I'm happy to wait while you pull one out of the freezer. If a pint of ale and value for money, in traditional English pub/restaurant is what you're after, this is a good starter for 10. We'll be giving steak night a bash this week. I hope they have a 20 oz in, I'm planning to be hungry. I'm very particular how it's cooked though.

This establishment have 3 rooms in a separate outbuilding at the back, which have been available just over a year. The room we were in was just ok but the bathroom had loose fixtures and fittings. There is a decking area in front of the rooms which is dangerously slippy when wet and the walkway to the bar and restaurant is open to the elements. The promised wifi was not operational. The food portions were enormous - to the extent that average people would find them daunting - but were tasty. The cooked breakfast was also enormous and very greasy.

Delicious fresh cooked food, it did take a long time to come but this was warned on the menu and it was all very fresh. Large portions, generous sides, and very very good meat. Would recommend.

We regularly have family meals here and we've never been let down yet.Relatively small menu means chef can concentrate on producing quality from the kitchen.Specials board and regular deals supplement the main menu nicely.I've never had bad meal in here and if you fancy a challenge ask for the large mixed grill. If you finish it, you don't pay. Book in advance for this one.

We have been quite a few times and took family along with us, every time perfect food cant fault it at all if your a steak person you will love it very friendly staff the owners are so nice we take the kids and they even have the time to come and have a chat with them the kids are happy they no theres sweets waiting for them when they have finished.

Went there on my birthday. To celebrate my birthday. Had nice meal and couple drinks. Nice place to go for meal. The staff are really friendly but the only problem we had was. Took 1 hour for the food to come. Started to get bait bored but time we had the food and with how tasty it was. It was worth the wait

Well cooked pub food, friendly and helpful staff...huge portions! Quite a traditional menu with a range of dishes: meat, fish and vegetarian; also a selection of steaks. We were too full to try the puddings!

Been away from here too long, forgot how good it was! Traditional, generous pub food, good quality. Steak pie - a tray full of tasty beef , fresh veg and proper chips. Tagliatelle was generous and tasty. Just got too full for pud. So coming back for Lumpy Bumpy cake.

Have called in on two successive Saturdays for lunch. Lovely food well presented. Good beer, good service and atmosphere, Will definitely call again.

Called in this pub on the off chance we could have something to eat on our way home and after a long journey. The pub was so welcoming and the owners were very friendly My hubby had the mixed grill and I had the Gammon. The service was fast which was good to say they were very busy and were told we could have to wait. My gammon was cooked perfectly and I couldn't believe the size of my husbands mixed grill talk about value for money (he only just managed to eat the lot). We got a free coffee and sweets at the end which have never had before. Would recommend eating here best experience Ive had in a long time. Not sure what the person who wrote the review before me was on about but think its unfair as if I read that before going we would not of gone and missed out on a great meal.

i had a mix grill it was totaly discusting full off rubbish cheap meat piled up with around 10 onion rings it was that bad i could not eat any off it really would rather have a small amount off top quality food rather than a pile off discusting food never again who wants to eat ten onion rings for a start

We were looking for somewhere with character and found it here in abundance. Such a warm welcome which you only get from a family run pub. The food was amazing. After our starters of garlic mushrooms and deep fried cheese, I had the largest lamb shank in history which fell of the bone before it even caught sight of my knife and my partner had the fillet steak and prawns, which he said was equally tender. The accompanying side dishes would have been a meal on their own! I have it on good authority, from him indoors, that the local beers were amazing. We had chosen to stay the night in the double room which again had plenty of character and was clean and fresh. No set breakfast time - we were just asked what time we wanted it - and it was superb. Jamie, the chef, spent the meal chatting with us, along with his mum, stepdad and partner and we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. We will definitely be back sooner, rather than later, and would advise anyone wanting a lovely country pub, to give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely country pub with a warm welcome and fantastic food. Couldn't fault it. Even had a couple of games of darts with Jamie the chef at the end of the night.

This is a proper country pub with separate rooms not one great big bar. They also serve great food.Popped in on the way back from the dog groomers in Leeming, arrived in time for the Friday special, two fish and chips with peas for £12. Not kiddies portions, proper size meals.Good range of ale too.Why can't all pubs be like this?

We have been here twice in the last 3 months and all I can say is amazing, amazing, amazing. Great food, plenty of local ales and cute traditional Yorkshire pub. The portion size is fantastic value for money and the food is perfect. I had the steak pie last time and it was melt-in-your-mouth good! Highly recommend.

Very poor order our starters thirty mins later they arrived then main meals steak swimming in oil veg and chips old did not stay for our desserts music on Valentine's Day via a radio not romantic we argued on way home will not return

We live in the village so visit quiet a lot, Jamie does the perfect steak , cooked to perfection , just how you like it with all the trimmings, great food , great pub , great atmosphere .

Lovely room, spotlessly clean, perfect.The food is absolutely scrummy and fantastic value (14oz steak with giant homemade onion rings and homemade chips at less than £15!) The food is the best for miles - garlic mushroom starter is incredible.Staff are wonderful, friendly and nothing is too much trouble, I will always stay here when I visit Northallerton, cannot recommend it highly enough.

I was shocked to experience such poor service in what is clearly a highly rated pub normally. We were large family group on a quiet night. We booked in advance so would have expected some effort and perhaps a welcome. The waiting staff were bad tempered and we felt like we weren't wanted despite being a large group. Food was OK but nothing special. Large portions of overcooked good doesn't make up for lack of welcome or quality. The pudding I had was a 1970's style pud a mother would serve. Did NOT enjoy the experience and wouldn't return. This pub needs to remember that customer service matters. We waited ages to be served and I was shocked by how unfriendly this place was given the reviews. I hope it was a bad night but I won't return to find out

My family had been here before and recommended the food. Judging by the positive experiences of other reviews I've seen here I can only assume we went on a night when the chef was off or there was a problem in the kitchen. There were a few people in the bar eating, but we were the only people in the restaurant so I saw no reason for the overly excessive wait we had throughout the evening. The menu does say food is cooked fresh so there will be a wait at busy times, but they certainly weren't busy the night we went. We didn't bother with starters, as we'd been told the meal portions were very generous. The menu is varied and extensive, with all the pub grub favourites and more. I had a large scampi and chips. We'd waited what felt like ages before someone came to take our order and after that we waited over an hour before any food arrived. There were 9 of us in the party so we expected some delay but this was excessive. At times staff wandered through, looking at us but generally ignored us. There was no atmosphere in the restaurant and if we'd been served in half the time it actually took we still wouldn't have felt rushed. My meal was a generous portion, however the scampi was over cooked so that the outer coating was very dark, very dry and tough. The chips were also over cooked and again dry and tough. Some of the group enjoyed their pasta dishes so I put mine down to a glitch in the kitchen. Once finished there was another ridiculous wait to order and then receive desserts. I was pleased with my sponge pudding. Other dishes were much less satisfactory. Technically 2 shop bought meringues covered in strawberry ice-cream sauce and surrounded by grapes could be called a fresh fruit meringue. However it's a very disappointing one. Over all the whole experience was unpleasant and the lack of attention paid by the staff left us with the feeling we were an inconvenience. I hope this is a one off experience and that other people continue to enjoy the Old Royal George. However I don't think we'll be back to try again.

Six of us ate at tgh Royal George on Christmas Day. We had pre-ordered from an extensive menu a couple of weeks before. Despite being fully booked we were 'squeezed in' and our requirement for earlier service due to work commitments was met with a smile.. The service was prompt, efficient and cheerful and the food superb. I have eaten in five star restaurants whose food did not match up to tThe Geotge. I had fillet of beef, which was perfect, my wife enjoyed roast duck and betwen the six of us we pretty well covered the menue. All agreed with my assessment./ We shall most certainly be back mext Christmas - and at other times throughout the coming year. Warmest thank to Neil, Shirley and Chef Jaimie!

Four of us called in for lunch. Each had a different meal and each was of excellent quality and presentation. There was a friendly atmosphere and the staff were very nice.

We went to this pub with some locals, Sandy and Dave, at their insistence, that it was the only place to go! They were right-from the owners and owner/chef and waitress, this pub did not disappoint! Lovely welcoming people and the food was so delicious! And so plentiful that it was absurd how large the portions are, but so tasty that you are glad they are so ample! We all had something diffeent and it was all delicious-the chef is so good there's no way one could get a bad meal here - don't miss it! And when you go, tell Neil that his friends from America said "cheerio"!

We popped in again today, on this damp misty day, to find a warm welcome. Really tasty fresh cooked food, really large portions and real pototo chips. Classic old style pub with good home cooked food. Every reasonable prices. Well done to the owners.

Had a Sunday lunch early evening, went for the large and it was ! Fresh veg and a creamy leek dish. Lovely home made yorkshire puds. Also had a delicious home made desert and couldn't bend in the middle! The restaurant is a little dated looking but the lunch outweighs the surroundings.

Been here a few times now as my boyfriend really likes it but I'm still unsure about it. Always smells like old ladies. Too dark. Food ok. Nothing special. Feels like something could be better about it. Would like to see a normal menu in a Sunday rather than Sunday roasts. Also would like to see chicken as think it the most popular.

I have known the Old Royal George for some years. The food has never been less than excellent. The Friday Fis is always huge and perfectly cooked. The portions are generous = in fact if you want two courses I'd suggest Starter and Sweet!I thoroughly recommend this Pub/Restaurant.

Went with friends for Sunday lunch and, whilst a little dated inside, portions were generous, food nice & it felt like being back at grandparents! - CY

Prehistoric landlady!! The food was definitely to die for. I don't mean nice!! Get a grip & make it better. There are too many more nice places not too far away

Had fish and chips. And wow what a size it was. Thoroughly enjoyed but don't think I could have had more than one course. Think anyone would struggle but very nice indeed. Seems a popular place.

Came here for a last minute meal out while in town with my partner and remembered it being lovely as always. My partner got the chicken Caesar salad and looked like a main meal!! Followed by steak. Safe to say we both could not move by end of evening and was desperate to get home to lay on sofa! Service can be slow but then it was a Saturday night. You have to be absolutely starving to come here! But really tasty grub!

Had a great stay over, We decided to spend Saturday evening at The Old Royal George. Meal was fantastic as always, cooked how we requested and the portion size was very generous. Lovely welcoming atmosphere and staff are always cheerful friendly...nothing is too much trouble. After a lovely evening we retired to the middle room. The accommodation is lovely, new clean and has everything you need. Ample coffee tea & biscuits too. Breakfast was anything from croissants to a hearty full english. Cannot wait to stay over again.

Meal was lovely really generous portions. Steak cooked to perfection. Staff members were friendly and welcoming. Good value for money. Lovely family run pub.

Family run pub, warm welcome extended! The son cooks and he does a mean steak, one of the best ever my husband has tasted!Lovely fish on offer as well, an all round friendly local pub.

We called in at lunchtime not only to try the food but to sort out a venue for a family occasion,the landlady was very friendly and helpful giving us ideas on menus,so consequently we have booked.The pub is very clean and would highly recommend.

Went here with a party of 13 the meal was First class I could not fault it every body loved it even the the one who always moans said he liked it and that takes some doing.The only down side was the service was slow but we put that down to it being a Saturday Night.

What a wonderful way to finish a day in the Dales. Fantastic food and massive portions,a great pint and only 10 ft away from a warm comfy bed! Back soon for the tour of Yorkshire. Best get in quick!

We have just returned from a fabulous relaxing weekend spent at The Old Royal George, Morton on Swale. We stayed in their newly opened accommodation. Beautiful rooms, a real treat. We had the most delicious breakfasts and dinners. Lovely Sunday lunch on Mothers Day. The staff are attentive and professional. We loved the Steak pie we had on Saturday night. Neil, Shirley and Jamie run a great Pub.

Passed this place twice a week for the last fifteen years, then a month ago decided to go there for my birthday lunch. Wonderful, I had lamb shank it was cooked to perfection, my husband had scampi which he really enjoyed. Everything about the place was warm ,welcoming and friendly, including the staff. Just been back today and had the most gorgeous fish and chips ever. Beautiful crispy batter and chunky chips £12.00 for two. Couldn`t get any better. We will be regular diners from now on.

We went here last night for my birthday meal -my daughter had been the previous week and had recommended it to me.It's like a tardis -looks tiny from the outside but such a big cosy room inside -very welcoming, I had the belly pork (specials board) with honey and mustard -huge chunky chips -biggest I've seen -and veg. Amazing value. Husband had the steak (2 for £20 on a Thurs) and wasn't disappointed -cooked to perfection. Daughter had the hunters chicken -huge portion and amazing again. Restaurant was very quiet with only one other table being used (7pm on a thurs). Amazing value and huge portions -we will be back soon.
