Royal George Hotel Restaurant in Monmouthshire

Rarely feel compelled to write a review, but loved my meal here. Seafood platter to share gorgeous, steak salad lovely and chocolate trio amazing. Seems a small thing, but chips were properly homemade too. Service ace. Only £4 for Butty Bach. My new fave place to eat.

This hotel / restaurant has a Coffee house on its corner. Its such a well appointed space its become my go to cafe when walking/ visiting Tintern. Just drinks and snacks but all products are good quality and reasonably priced . Absolute favourite is iced coffee.

This place is fantastic great food great service very nice people to deal with food very good indeed rooms fantastic nice and warm outside area if the weather turns inclement and on Fridays serves oven baked pizza's on the downside the room we were in hare6the shower did not have a nonslip surface not good if you have a disabled person with you but good for any other reason will definitely go back if they asked me to return

Had a nice Friday evening meal here. Restaurant was busy & bubbling. Service was good for a busy evening. Had a delicious Welsh Rarebit for sharing followed by chicken Katsu burger (great idea) Dessert was rhubarb crumble. Price was very reasonable and we left happy and very full up :)

We stayed the night so we had dinner and breakfast at The Wild Hare and both experiences we're faultless. Dinner menu was great, plenty of choice, very tasty and good portions. My husband had the Hare burger and i had the salmon so tasty.Starters and desert were also good. We thought the food was very reasonably priced compared to our Pembrokeshire prices. Breakfast again was excellent with a very good choice and good quality. Staff were excellent, very attentive and always a smile. Thanks for a great stay - we will be back

Now known as The Wild Hare, this was a great Sunday lunch after a walk around Tintern. We washed off our very muddy dog outside the pub before going in. Lovely setting and atmosphere. Lots of gluten free options including starters and desserts. The hearty Sunday roast portions were appreciated. We had 1 gluten free fish and chips, tasted nice but have had better versions elsewhere and it let down the lunch experience a little. Would definitely return!

The setting is great, the ambience good too. The service was really poor and I felt for some of the young servers, they just looked lost. One table had the wrong food, we had cold food delivered. Tried talking to the head of service after a 2nd failed attempt to bring us hot food (that wasn't), but a bizarre (and somewhat irrational response)! All-in-all, as much as I'd like to see the place on a good day, I won't be jumping to go back. They just didn't have a good day at the office and didn't know what to do if any issues. Can't say whether chef having a bad day, service team having a bad day, or all of the above. Wasn't even saved by the food on our visit. Never been before, plenty of other places in the area to try!

Lovely setting for lunch, nice outside area, good drinks menu & well prepared G&T’s. Food menu was a bit limited that day but main courses and desserts enjoyed by whole table. Friendly & attentive service from Giovanni!

Booked a table for 4. Good, busy atmosphere inside. Food really fresh, nicely cooked and well presented, and really friendly, efficient service (contrary to some of the reviews on here). Battered fish and steak were excellent. Good range of local beers and ales. Slightly higher prices than some other pubs nearby but don't mind paying a bit more for quality. Will definitely visit again.

What a difference since our last visit The premises has been completely refurbished visited for brunch with family lovely food highly recommended . will return.

We visited here for a drink in the afternoon with a view to booking a table for a meal the following evening. Upon entering the place the staff were all stood together and it was all very disorganized and quite uncomfortable for us. Anyway we asked if we could have a table for a drink and we were quite abruptly told yes but only in the garden, not inside even though all the tables were unoccupied. I then asked about availability for a table the following evening and again in an abrupt manner we were told no, without even asking a time or checking the latest availability. We felt as though we weren't welcome and left without having a drink. I checked on the online booking system and tables were available at 17.45 which would have been perfect for us. Terrible experience with awful staff This is now the Wild Hare Hotel.

Friendly and helpful staff, if a tad disorganised, nice environment, confusing parking rules but what lets it down is the steep prices.

The food was very good but the service was poor and we were charged for another tables drinks - we were sat outside - I did not read the bill until we got back to our hotel and then contacted the restaurant and had to send pictures of the bill to them to prove it. I di get my money back and yes I should have checked my bill before leaving but I had not go my glasses with me so could not. i asked for a glass of water which I never received - it is a shame as we went in May 2021 and it was superb service and staff were in May but staff were different in July and not as good.

Very poor experience all round. My friend arrived 10 minutes ahead of me and was told he wouldn't be served a drink until I arrived, so he was left sitting at a table absolutely fuming! Some bizarre rule about not serving men on their own, at least that's what he was told. When it came to ordering our 2nd round of drinks it took a good 20 to 25 minutes to get served. We had the distinct impression we were being ignored rather than overlooked. Will not be visiting this establishment again.

We waited patiently in a queue to order for the garden. Just as it was our turn to order, the 2 staff went behind the bar inside and deliberately ignored us while they talked amongst themselves. We won't be revisiting!

On a busy Saturday evening, we had prawns + veg tempura and steak, steak was cooked to perfection, mid rare as we ordered. Staff and barmen were all friendly. Wines and drinks are reasonably priced.

Called in on the off chance and what a find. Friendly, helpful staff. Wonderful lunch of sandwiches and delicious chips we struggled to eat it all. We sat outside in pleasant surroundings. We would definitely visit again and next time try an evening meal.

We stayed one night at the Royal St George and had dinner in the restaurant. The bar/ restaurant area was really nicely decorated, customer service was top and the food was really nice. Would have liked more vegetarian options though there was only one but it was lovely. The room was very good, really well decorated, spacious, very clean and good snack option if you wanted to buy extra. Lovely to have fresh milk for cuppas and not horrible jiggers. Breakfast was great too with a nice choice and good coffee and a lively space to watch and again good customer service. All in all really lovely stay.

Went for an evening out, car park is small and was difficult to park, though it was a busy night and the place was packed. Meal was ok, but expected a bit more. Had a vegetarian in the group (surely not rare these days) and struggled to find more than one choice for them. Customer service was good, food took ages to arrive.

First visit to The Wild Hare. Loved the decor, casual but friendly atmosphere and the Sunday lunch was perfect. Beautifully presented food with a very homemade but trendy appeal. A great improvement on the establishment as it was years ago. We will return!

Absolutely amazing food. We shared the starter of Welsh rarebit and it was delicious. My husband had steak and it was one of the best ever and I had salmon fish cakes which was amazing. The restaurant is really quite lovely and the staff very friendly. It’s pet friendly and our cocker spaniel pup enjoyed a pigs ear which they sold and definitely kept him quiet Will return very soon. Keep up the impeccable work guys

Great hotel and restaurant, and especially good if you are hiking and , or have a dog. Comfortable spacious rooms with dog beds and treats if you get a doggy room. Hose and towel down area for muddy dogs and walkers , and drying room for kit make a big difference after a wet muddy walk. Perfectly placed near Tintern Abbey for the start or end of Offas Dyke, or some Wye River way, with bus service outside to Monmouth or Chepstow . Hotel and restaurant have Nice touches like real milk in rooms and everything in reusable refillable jars. Low waste. The food and beers are nearly all locally sourced . Fab breakfast selection. Very high quality and good value experience. Will be back....

We have stayed in the past and this time we called in for lunch on return from a funeral in Cardiff. The Changes referred to by reviewer justloveabreak seem spot on as far as the "pub" side of things are concerned. The food was adequate but uninspiring. Whilst busy on the Friday we visited it was mainly 50+ age group, and very staid.

We deliberately chose this hotel as an after Christmas break, somewhere to relax and recover, especially as we had visited before and had enjoyed a lovely couple of days. Unfortunately in between our two stays there has been a considerable refurbishment, ripping out the comfortable, albiet a little tired, seating and replacing with wooden chairs and tables all set for dining. When we arrived the three small sofas which were poked into the corner one by the fire and the others by the window were occupied meaning we had to perch on the wooden chairs at the fully laid tables just to enjoy a drink. Previously this had been the lounge with plenty of seating and the restaurant was situated where the now Private Dining room is, the door of which was permanently closed during our stay. This area also used to be the breakfast room which is now situated in a cavernous room at the back of the hotel, completely characterless where strangely another couple of sofas were situated in the middle of the breakfast tables? I would have thought the private dining could have been in here and return breakfast to the original restaurant. The bedrooms, as before, were very comfortable and well equipped, although this time I had booked the superior room with a balcony which, unfortunately, was accessed by some very large steep steps causing me extreme discomfort as I do suffer some mobility issues. The room can be accessed by the side road where there is an unlit parking area and a muddy path through the garden. This walk is obviously uncovered, so on the second day I got very wet walking up the hill and didn't return for the evening meal fearing a second soaking. Again the food has changed to pub fare, chips with most things and an uninspiring menu. I fear this hotel is now aimed at the young, not us old fogies although the few pub visitors who dropped in for a meal seemed to be our age. We were the only guests. I don't want to be completely negative as the staff were unfailingly helpful and cheerful and the rooms are good value and beautifully appointed, although the lovely shower could have done with either a small handrail or non-slip mat. Unfortunately we will not be returning as the old Royal George almost used to welcome visitors with a cosy embrace where the Wild Hare is more drink up, eat up and go. Very sad.

Spent New Year’s Eve here and we were very pleased with the quality and value for money. This was our second New Year’s Eve spent at the Royal George and we had a great time at the 1920’s party. The food is very, very good, the wine and beers are awesome. And this year’s entertainment did not disappoint. A very talented musician (ultimatum) led us into 2020 with a great selection of music which was first class. The staff as always are very friendly, attentive and ensure you have the best experience. The owners have created one of the very best Hotels in the area of Monmouthshire.

The hotel itself is quite homely with the rooms having a modern look and feel. The bathroom was well stocked as well as the tea and coffee making facilities. Very comfy bed too. I loved the service and found the staff couldn't do enough for you, very helpful and friendly. Had food in the restaurant on one night and it was delicious, I would have preferred more choice, but what I had was superb. All in all can't recommend this place highly enough.

What a great night! From start to finish a truly wonderful evening enjoy with a group loved the theme!! Everyone had made such a great effect with their outfit! The staff were attentive all evening! I’m dairy free and each of my courses were delicious! No food envy! The entertainment was AMAZING!!!! Once again a truly wonderful evening can thank the whole team enough! See you all very soon for more of the same!

What a fantastic Christmas stay we had at the Royal George, my wife and myself along with my brother-in-law and his wife and my 91 year old Father-in-law, the stay started Christmas eve with a festive afternoon tea and refreshments for my sister in laws birthday, the friendliest of staff made this a great start.

The Sunday lunch was amazing. Vegetables and lamb were cooked to perfection. The staff were all very friendly and made us feel really welcome. Will definitely be going back

Really nice pub, staff were friendly and the bar area warm and inviting with the log burner going. Dog friendly bar

We came on a Sunday evening with my Mum we had 2 rooms. One dog friendly sadly we didnt get the dog bed and bowls as stated but we had our own anyway so was no issue. We had dinner in the wild hare and the food was lovely. The rooms aredone to a very high standard are a nice size and the beds really comfy.

Stopped here for lunch after a morning walk in the Wye Valley and was most impressed. Very friendly staff and I really enjoyed the wild mushroom risotto I chose. Would definitely eat here again when in the area.

We were welcomed by friendly staff, The place was nice clean and presentable with a relaxed atmosphere in beautiful surroundings, the food was very good and the service equally so. We're looking forward to stopping there again on future visits to the area.

The pub is very nicely laid out and the ambience could do with a little bit of improvement. The food was good, took a little too long to be served however food arrived very quickly. The hosting style seemed a little strange, only 1 food waitress and the rest were just taking drinks orders. We got a little tired of repetitively hearing the host repeat the nights specials over and over again to every table - i would suggest toning it down. The bar staff were very friendly and worked extremely hard. Overall the experience was good.

We enjoyed some of the nicest food we have ever eaten here. Absolutely top quality food and a great selection. The service was really good too, very helpful and welcoming.

Love the Royal George, seems posh but they don't mind feeding us scruffy walkers and our dogs. Always good , always friendly.

So myself and two friends decided to visit the Royal George Hotel with our lovely dogs yesterday 15th September. It was a beautiful sunny day and the pub and surroundings were absolutely gorgeous! We all felt very excited to be there and even thought we’d love to spend Christmas there - we were really happy with our choice to have our Sunday lunch.

Lucky enough to be staying nearby in Brockweir when The Royal George had their first Annual Food and Beer Festival 25 Aug, in their lovely and spacious garden area (free car park). Great beer (local KIngstone brewery) or from their Wild Hare bar, or outdoor bars Pimms,Cocktails etc.), lovely festival food (pizzas, burgers and some great tacos), very hardworking and friendly staff, good bands, and nice friendly locals.

the food is good, but is fairly standard pub fare. moreover, it feels like eating in a pub, with very little atmosphere. quite why an ill-dressed member of staff, with bizarre hair, kept going outside and leaving the door open, was beyond us. on being challenged, his offhand response suggested it was beyond him, too. he didn't desist, nor could his colleagues be prevailed on to stop him.

The restaurant at the Royal George is called the Wild Hare. The wait staff were great. Very helpful and they were more than eager to answer our questions regarding the menu.

This is a very attractive restaurant. It is light and airy and the seating area is very comfortable. The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful and the food was amazing! I would definitely eat here again!

The restaurant at the hotel is called the Wild Hare and they were both located across the street from our Air B & B apartment. The first night we were turned away because they are very popular and we made reservation for the second night. They have a friendly staff and a menu with many delicious sounding options. I had the lamb rump which was incredibly tender and served with mashed potatoes with a hint of mustard added and a bit of gravy – very delicious. The accompanying veggies were cooked al dente and were equally good. My friends enjoyed their soup and fish and chips as well. The restaurant itself feels historic and cozy.

Visited here twice while we were on holiday nearby -very friendly, excellent service and great food. queried about lemon/butter sauce as don't like too much on plate and they said no problem and provided it in a jug so I could help myself - couldn't have been more obliging.

I'm giving the royal george 5 because service was lovely. The 2 hostesses we met were very friendly and helpful. Amelia the waitress at breakfast was friendly and nothing too much trouble and Pam the lady who cleans the rooms was so lovely and accommodating.

My husband and I had high hopes for this restaurant with the reviews, we booked for our anniversary dinner. On entering we were greeted and seated quickly. Our two dogs were also welcomed. I over heard a conversation with the manager and the table next to us saying the steak wasn’t very good. We ordered drinks which came promptly and then our food order taken. The soup starter was bland and needed a lot of seasoning to make it taste like anything but hot water. Our wine arrived and was placed in the cooler without the server saying anything. Not poured, opened or even told it was there! Not offered water for the table but the water glasses remained. Our first drink glasses stayed on the table the entire time we were there. The table next to us was also not cleared. The mains arrived. My fish was very under cooked. We made the manager aware and they took it away to be changed. My husbands burger was fine but not as tasty as you’d expect. Once he’d finished my fish arrived. The batter was burnt and the fish was again under cooked. The chips were raw inside and burnt on the out. The best part of my meal was the tartare sauce! The manager asked how it was this time round I explained it was not cooked properly and the batter was over done. Nothing was done about this. I picked around the bits that I could and left most of the meal. We requested the bill which was promptly given to us. The manager had taken half the price of my meal off the bill. not good enough. We finished our drinks and left. Sadly very disappointed with the meal and response from the team. I would not recommend at all.

We decided to eat at The George as it looked very inviting outside, however on entering we were greeted in a very off hand manner. We were given a table in the corner. We ordered our drinks Bitter Lemon, nothing in stock apparently no-one has asked for bitter lemon in over a year!! I asked for a Pint of Bitter but again the choice was very limited. Having ordered our meal we waited in anticipation We asked if the Rump Steak was good and got the response "well its Rump Steak" One of us ordered the Lamb, which on arrival was very under-cooked, with lots of fat and blood. When we spoke to the restaurant manageress she was very abrupt off hand and almost blamed us for it!! Certainly not a place I would visit again.

Wild Hare Restaurant at the Royal George - Even without reservations, we were promptly seated. The restaurant quickly got crowded with patrons. I had the 10 ounce steak which was very good and had a nice flavor. My wife had the chicken salad and it too was very good. The service was very good and we had an enjoyable evening. Its prices were a little more expensive than other restaurants we’ve eaten at on our trip.

This is a fabulous 5* place the Rooms have been newly decorated very roomy and great showers what you would have at home. The food and Breakfast were very good and the staff and cleaning service were very helpful Would stay there again

We stayed two nights at the Royal George whilst walking a stretch of Offa's Dyke. Not only is the restaurant superb, with the added benefit of an outdoor wood-fired Pizza Oven, but the accommodation is absolutely excellent. It's not a bit like most pubs. Forget about cramped, old wood-beamed rooms with a bathroom down the corridor - the rooms are arranged along a wood-framed arcade running around the beautiful garden. They are very generously sized, with cool, modern en-suite bathrooms. The attention to detail is also pretty special. There are tea and coffee making facilities in each room, but instead of those horrid little plastic sachets of UHT milk, they leave a little glass bottle of fresh local milk outside your door every morning!

I went here with my friend on Saturday evening. We started with a gin and tonic in the garden then ate inside.

Called in after a strenuous walk to Devils Pulpit and back. A real appetite builder, the sign outside says muddy boots and paws welcome. Good selection of beers with excellent food and service. Even a bowl of water for our doggy and a biscuit.

We chose this place as it welcomes dogs inside and the reviews were good. It even offers a dog menu! First place I have ever been that does that ... although it wasn’t offered to us for our dogs.

Met friends here last night for dinner Lovely warm welcome Superb service excellent food , the steak was beautiful, will definitely be coming back ..

Given its location right across the road from Tintern Abbey and on a major hiking route, this restaurant would be forgiven for falling into stereotypical over-priced tourist food and sloppiness of execution. Quite the contrary. The menu is thoughtful and wide-ranging (the “smaller portions” mini-menu was perfect for my elderly father-in-law), and there are some terrific vegetarian options. My bbq pulled jackfruit burger was the most interesting vegetarian burger that I’ve had anywhere. And given the volume of people who were coming and going, particularly in the beer garden, the staff managed to hold it together really well. I would gladly come back.

My husband stopped here on our way back from Monmouth. The staff were all warm and welcoming. We hadn’t booked a table but were able to have a table in the lovely beer garden.

I had another lovely stay here on. Friday night in March.

Stopped after a visit to the Abbey, staff were courteous, great atmosphere and a good selection of beer. We ordered a portion of sweet potato fries and regular fries both were very good. The sweet fries were probably the best I’ve ever had.

We stayed for 2 nights and had such a lovely welcome on arrival. The rooms was clean, fresh, decorated well and fully equipped with hair dryer and a selection of fruit teas, teas and coffee.

The welcome was excellent and the room was gorgeous. Food was delicious and plentiful. Will definitely recommend this place and intend to return soon.

Excellent lunch,friendly staff my second visit and will definitely go again but felt let down when we ordered coffees and brandy the brandy was served in odd glasses not one single brandy glass come on Wild Hare you can do better.

Lovely people run this hotel, the service and welcome are good. The seating is uncomfortable and the setting lovely. The big problem is the food. Arranging food on slates, serving pate in jars, and serving up pearls of flavour is not enough to make the cooking good. We have eaten here 4 times, and it isn't getting better. Steak used to be a stand-by, but is no longer offered for lunch. The chips used to be good, but now lack crispness. The tempura of vegetables used to be enjoyable but is now dull. The prices are not cheap, and better value can be found in monmouthshire, but what I would really like is for this kitchen to excel. It has a long way to go.

Had welcoming log fire burning on a cold January day. Restaurant quite busy considering out of season.Friendly and helpful staff.Good choice of food and drink.

My partner & I stayed in Brockweir last weekend & stumbled upon The Wild Hare (Royal George Hotel) when looking for somewhere to eat on Saturday Night, beautifully decorated & warm welcome from all the staff not just for us but for our dogs too- we found a table & ordered 2 steaks which were cooked perfectly & timely served, the dogs had cows ears off the doggy menu- great idea to keep them occupied whilst we ate. We visited again on the Sunday lunch whilst on a circle walk that the landlord had told us about on the Saturday night- even lent us a head torch for our walk back to our accommodation as it was getting dark which we returned on Monday, we had lunch which was great ( 2 burgers); overall I’m really impressed with the wild hare & wouldn’t hesitate in returning- thanks guys & well done! Im sure we’ll see you again in the summer!!

I agree with one of the other reviews... What happened?? We last visited in the summer and had a wonderful lunch.. Re-visited on Saturday, it was grim, from the underwhelming welcome, even got told off for calling lunch, dinner... The place was freezing. We sat with our coats on through out our time there... Food is expensive and shockingly poor... I had a tasteless grisle filled burger that came with six chips, £13.95... not worth it .. the steak sandwich is nothing more than an over rated beef sandwich. Gutted as we had high hopes this would be our regular.. We will go back to the Anchor.

We have been visiting our relations in Hereford at least twice a year for nearly 40 years. Each time we did we stopped for lunch at the Royal George. It was like stepping back in time in the nicest way. Comfy settees and excellent food it was something to look forward to on a long journey. It never disappointed. This year we stopped for lunch as usual but what a difference. Gone is the old world charm, gone are the comfy settees. Instead tables and chairs fill the area and the whole decor has changed including the atmosphere which has gone for good. It is now just another 'modernised' pub. The food took so long to arrive that we actually considered cancelling and just going on our way but we were hungry so waited. When it did arrive it was tasteless. Why anyone would put sweet potatoes, mash and roast potatoes on one plate is beyond me! The lemon sauce was devoid of any lemon flavour too although the other vegetables were cooked well and still had bite. We had planned to stop in the hotel for a night or two as it was such a special place in such a beautiful area but we won't stop here again even to eat.

This was booked on our behalf by friends so we had no idea what to expect. Well, all I can say is that we were absolutely delighted with everything about the place! Our room was well furnished and very comfortable. The bar has an amazing atmosphere and the New Year function was fantastic. Great food, amazing service and a super way to see in the New Year. Olivia, was super attentive and made sure everything was just as we wanted. Congratulations to the hosts it was a memorable night. We will definitely be visiting during the year to take advantage of all the opportunities locally and to enjoy first class hospitality again!

This was ment to be an enjoyable evening meal. The restaurant was freezing cold we had to eat with our coats on. The food took so long to arrive at the table, in fact we were so cold that we were thinking of asking for the bill not long after we finished our starters, we were not the only people in the restaurant to be cold other people were asking to move tables as they were cold. Will try other restaurants in the area.

We were visiting Tintern primarily to visit the ruined abbey which was dissolved under the instructions of Henry VIII. This is worth a visit in itself but when it is also combined with a singposted walk, (1.75 miles x 2) up to the Devil's Pulpit, and a magnificent Sunday roast, it makes a lovely sunny winter's day.

Attracted by the lovely exterior lit up for Christmas, we intended to have a quick drink before dining at home but once inside we were charmed by the cozy interior, blazing fire and warm welcome from the staff and quickly decided to stay and sample the food. There was a good menu choice and Nicky was knowledgeable about the food and confidently able to identify gluten free choices. The food was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and tasted delicious, The chef is obviously proud of his art, from triple cooked chips, succulent fish, seared lettuce through to tiny spheres of lemon that burst in the mouth every mouthful was a treat to the tastebuds.

A great meal with quality steaks and accompanying veg. Doggie menu too with pigs ears that went down well. Happy outgoing staff, very friendly.

It may look like a traditional old pub/coach hotel, but it has been recently sold/up-dated and has lost the old charm.

Great food Great staff & Great location - pork belly amazing ! Give this place a try as you will definitely want to go back - not just a place to eat but an experience and the best / friendliest staff you will find anywhere.

Called last Monday for lunch - excellent food and very friendly efficient staff. Our party of four only wanted a light lunch but if the food we had is a reflection of the standard of other meals, you would not be disappointed.

So glad we booked, very busy Sunday lunchtime. Arrived early and enjoyed a couple of gin and tonics at the bar. Great selection of gins. Restaurant is really cosy and good atmostphere. Glad we skipped starters and went for desserts. Main course was fantastic ....roast beef and gravy was so delicious. Yorkshire puddings fab. All the veg were good too. Cauliflower cheese was well worth paying the extra. Followed by the most wonderful chocolate desserts. Great wine list too. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent .So glad we found this restaurant. Can't wait to go back and try an evening meal. Well worth the trip to Tintern. Hopefully be back very soon

Visited for a Sunday roast for 3 people. We had two courses and were there for 2 hours 15 minutes. There were large tables around us and it felt like the kitchen couldn't cope.

It was a wonderful meal on the first evening so we stayed in on the second evening and ate there again and it didn’t disappoint. The service was really good and the French onion soup was one of the best I’ve ever had. Really great food

Me and my partner decided to try Sunday lunch. We have booked for half 2 we were the only table there and a bigger table of 8. So I expect to wait a bit longer for our food. Although waitress took a wile to come over and take our order. I have ordered belly pork meat was cooked lovely but i couldnt enjoy it after i have seen 2 cm long pigs hair on the crackling. I have mentioned it to the waitress i said that I understand maybe chef wanted dish to look rustic but pigs hair was a bit too much! She replied that its the method of cooking and its just like that. Maybe if I wasnt a chef my self i would of believed. Our main courses took forever to come of as big table got their food first even tho we have finished our starters before them. We ordered pork and beef and side of cauliflower cheese and mash potato ( as waitress didnt let us know it was coming with it anyway and it did not say on the menu either it was lumpy too )parsnips meant to be smoked i dont know what they did to them but they tasted and looked like someone has left them in the oven and forgot about them. I guess it was our fault for booking so late as it seemed like we got left overs of the roast looking at the potatoes and veg. At least meat was cooked amazing. Place looked fantastic. And portions were big but i do think chef is trying maybe it would be better to master basics first.

Following our walk we took our owners for lunch in The Wild Hare. Enticing menu - they ordered starters to share before having the main course. Then they did the same with the desserts!! They all enjoyed the food and service so much that we will be coming back as we only live 3 miles away. Us dogs were made to feel welcome too. My owner will be recommending the restaurant to our B&B; guests.

Pre-booked our table. Had to clear our own dinner plates on to another table as waited so long. Then had to go and ask barman for sweet menu, Gave up in the end as no-one came to take our order. Funny though as soon as we asked for bill that came within seconds. Absolutely awful place food cold.

Myself and two friends ate here two weeks ago. Excellent food, friendly staff and nothing was too much. We were on a walking break for the weekend and decided to eat here on both evenings. We were made to feel very welcome. The food was superb. Would highly recommend visiting here.

Had high hopes from the hype surrounding the taking over and opening, but after waiting 2 HOURS fro our starters, and having 1 sprig of asparagus with the poached egg (especially at the price charged) was not a great start. It was also The main course was severely over salted - and there were too many conflicting strong flavours on the plate. We all 6 of us had a below average meal for an above average price. Could be teethers though, so will try again.

Great setting, lovely food and good atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

I have been visiting this hotel and restaurant for over twenty years and am pleased to confirm that the recent up-grade has taken it from an adequate country establishment to one of character and class. Everything has been done to increase customers pleasure and satisfaction.

lovely hotel,with new owners who are greatly improving the hotel.will visit in a ffew months to see how things are progressing

We have eaten at The Royal George, in their Wild Hare restaurant, a few times a a couple & then with the family.

Ordered a vegetable lasagne and a vegan lasagne , they came out looking and tasting exactly the same . When staff questioned they said there was no vegan left ,and salad offered. As not strictly vegan decided to continue with the lasagne . Would have thought this would have been deducted from bill , but wasn’t . Also lucky wasn’t dairy intolerant! This mistake needs to be addressed as could have been distressing for a strict vegan !

We spent a night here and were absolutely amazed by the position of the hotel which has recently ( six weeks ago) been taken over by Richard and Harriet who are busily refurbishing the room to a very high standard. It is situated in a most delightful position in Tintern and is very close to the Abbey and , of course all the lovely walks along the Wye Valley.
