The Garden Room at the George Hotel in South Kesteven

Visited today with a friend for lunch… live relatively local although not been before. Had a really pleasant all round experience.. warm welcome, faultless service & great food. We both chose the warm chicken salad, followed by the sherry trifle & tiramisu. Everything very tasty, in fact I gave it an overall mark of 10 out of 10, a rare occurrence for me! Thank you all for a lovely afternoon.

Absolutely fantastic. Stopped in on the way from London to Sheffield and was blown away by the quality and the service. Bit pricey, but so tasty, and much better than stopping at Peterborough McDonald's!!

Very enjoyable lunch in the Garden Room - food was good, service was excellent, convivial atmosphere in what is clearly a very popular venue. Ideal place for a special occasion.

Usually we love this place, service is excellent, but maybe a little stuffy. Lobster pasta is good but when you ask for extra chilli, wanting that chilli hit, please don’t be shy with the chilli. The garden room desperately needs a good clean! Cobwebs everywhere! Beautiful building and setting but lacking in basic maintenance.

Haven't eaten here for many years so poped in for lunch. I find it strange that there's no reception upon entry to the courtyard, you have to flag down a passing crew member to get a table. The menu is large with lots of tasty sounding dishes, across all food groups; vegaterian's are well catered for. I went for the beef-cheeks. Our food arrived is quick order and my beef was both tender and tasty. But it was only luke warm. By contrast, my wife's gnochhi was very hot and extremely tasty. All in all a nice lunch, but he price tag does not warrant the quality of the food or the standard of the serveice.

The George has always had a fantastic reputation but things are not as good as previously experienced. For lunch I ordered the crab salad and an Aperol Spritz. The samphire salad was nice but the dressed crab was over seasoned and extremely salty. It is always tricky complaining about food when you are in a party as from experience your food is whisked away and usually brought back once everyone else has finished meaning you end up dining alone! Although the crab was not very nice it was not inedible. I continued eating. I highly recommend the chunky chips as these were delicious. The spritz glass was only half full when the waiter arrived so assumed this was The George standard measure? I saw others being brought to other tables after mine was delivered and their glasses were full, so yes, mine was actually a short measure, but as I had drunk some already how could I prove this? Overall overpriced for a below average experience.

We had a lovely meal last night in the Garden Room. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was first class. If you haven’t been lately I would recommend you visit soon.

Has gone down hill. The setting is amazing and very nice staff. 10 of us went on a Saturday afternoon on the train as very close to the railway station. I had the £21 prawn cocktail that consisted of some uncut lettuce leaves an amount of very small prawns and a bland sauce, for main I went for the £32 very unexciting liver with mash cabbage a Bit of bacon and a jug of gravy. We enjoyed some lovely wine and the bill was £125 per person lovely place let down by poor food.

Stopped in at The George to break our journey, had no idea what to expect and I must admit we were a little surprised at the prices on the menu but decided to stay and treat ourselves. My husband and I were with our large (well behaved dog) and we and she were made most welcome, with the waiter asking if she would like a bowl of water. The atmosphere was lovely, very chilled and the staff were great, as was the food. We would certainly visit again if we were in the area.

Excellent lunch . Great service . Tasty and fresh food . high prices . Perhaps you get what you pay for . Excellent standards and service . Would recommend . Always an enjoy our visits .

Have loved The George for years. Went for lunch the other day with husband and brother to celebrate a birthday. Had a pint of (murky) beer and vodka and tonic in the bar - £18!!! In the garden room, which is a lovely room for lunch, we asked for water at the table. The waiter removed our glasses then brought them back with luke-warm water in. In a decent place there would be a jug of iced water placed on the table. Husband and brother had fish and chips which was as good as ever and both really enjoyed it. I had minute steak with frites and bernaise sauce. The sauce was ALMOST warm, and congealed. Can’t go too far wrong with the steak and frites? Hmm - just about warm enough but very salty. It was a very disappointing plate of food. I would have complained but didn’t want to spoil the experience for the others and ruin my birthday.. Husband later said he feels The George is resting on its laurels. At over £100 for three lunches with one glass of wine and one dessert it certainly didn’t come up to scratch. From it being our ‘go to’ place, it is now a don’t waste your money. We won’t be returning.

On Saturday 11/5/24 we visited The George as we had heard so many good things about it. We found a table in the Garden Room and purchased two glasses of excellent Bordeaux and some olives and nuts. It was a lovely experience, so we decided to return on Sunday 12/5/24 - how different! Although there were tables free, we were told we couldn't have one just for drinks and we were directed to another garden, where there were no tables. We left disappointed and let down. We then went to the William Cecil and had excellent service and attention.

What a place!! I thought this restaurant was going to be very good, but it wasn’t, I asked for a £27 fish and chips and my sister had a steak £31, the fish was very big but no taste at all, it was very very oily just horrible, my sister steak was ok but over priced as it was so little. We asked for a glass of wine and the wine £14 a glass came with 2 drops in the glass, ot was ridiculous, and what was interesting was, I told the waitress that the food wasn’t good, it was very oily and he said “ I am sorry but there is nothing that I can do” really? And charged us full price for the food that we had just half? Well… I would never be back 🙌🏼 PS: I will post a picture of the little drop of wine for £14 😅 Thanks

Lobster Benedict was amazing ! I’d travel back to Stamford for that alone (and it’s 100 miles away!). Am told the steak was brilliant also

We have had hit and miss experiences with the George over the years and the last time we went to the Green room we had food that had to be sent back and it was overpriced for what it was. Given there was limited options when we went last weekend we booked and got in the outside marquis in the garden. My wife was not expecting much but I must say, the environment, the service and the food was absolutely the best, and this was the best experience of the weekend hands down. Steven the Maitre D was brilliant and funny and not stuck up like some of the servers we have had in the past there. Thoroughly enjoyable and it has now given us a new vigour for visiting there everytime we go for drinks or food in the future, which we do in Stamford 4 or 5 times a year. We also went into the courtyard on Sunday for drinks. It was nice but freezing cold and there weren't any heaters so we went after one drink, though the service from Anotonina was very good.

Such a disappointment after telling our friends how good the experience of eating at the George was. Things missed no attention to detail and what seemed like no direction from management. Could not get the attention of staff and left without ordering desserts or wine. I am quite happy paying the premium of dining at the George but do not expect third class service. We ate in the marquee on Saturday last.

Booked in advance and notified one of us had gluten intolerance.They didn't seem to know which main course dishes were GF.No GF Pasta options. Very poor, very expensive. Ended up with fish and chips from alternative menu but had to push to get that.Will not go there again.

Visited the George for lunch with my wife, we are both committed to a plant based diet. So we were limited in choice, but when I booked the table the lady assured me that they have a very good Vegan menu. The staff were very helpful and did everything to accommodate us. As an aperitif they gave us bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar instead of the usual butter. Followed by a starter that we shared of vine tomatoes and bruschetta. Which for us was more than enough, to satisfy our immediate hunger. Main course was possibly the best Vegan curry I have had Thai Yellow Vegetable Curry. The flavours were stunning with no one element dominating the dish. Again the portion size was good. We will definitely be making a booking again to try another Vegan dish from the menu.

We stopped off at the George for a snack lunch before moving on. We were impressed by the COVID compliance demonstrated, all measures have been covered. Our names and contact details were taken as we placed our order. Our snack lunch was served under cover in the garden where the tables were well spaced out. We both chose Prawn Sandwiches, which were delicious and served quickly. Excellent and very safe.

Stunning setting and grounds, fantastic selection of wines. Unfortunately food was over priced for what it was. Anti pasti sharing board £29 for what was 4 tiny dishes and a few slices of meat. Lobster was ok Thermidor sauce was very floury. Not worth the money at all, no one checked on food at all table of two £250 with limited service and poor food!! There’s a lot better near by

Such a wonderful birthday lunch . First time we had eaten out since Covid and it was lovely to eat in the garden and enjoy the experience Seafood sharing platter was lovely

Everything about this place screams quality. Food sevice, setting all first rate. Highly reccomended.

I spent my birthday lunch in the Garden Room at The George and everyone of myguests were delighted. I had big juicy oysters followed by calves liver, perfectlyseared. Other guests had perfect tempura vegetables, not an easy one to get right, amazing prawn cocktail, and lobster pasta. I had lemon sorbet, having been advisedby the Sicilian waiter that it was as good as any Sicilian lemon Granita in Sicily -and he was right! A wonderful red house wine and an excellent Viognier completeda faultless meal. Cannot wait to return.

While staying over, decided to eat here on our first night. One starter of french onion soup was ordered, it was delicious but chef must ensure he removes the outer tough onion skin as it’s unpleasantly chewy. The huge seafood platter with lobster was delicious and really for two, whereas I plodded through but couldn’t do it justice. It was amazing. My other half had the burger but found it too dry, alas he didn’t choose well as he had the onion soup and burger. Wines by the glass was excellent and we moved to the lounge for coffee and liqueur. Excellent service

I cannot believe this buzzing, full hotel was able to accommodate our group of 8 people with no notice!!! They were so pleasant about it. AMAZING!! The Garden Room is a spectacularly beautiful room. We loved it. The service we received was first class - our waiter was friendly, polite and knowledgeable. The food was very good. I had the fish and chips (with choice of thick chips or fries) a large piece of haddock beautifully battered and fried to perfection (without that oily aftertaste). We also ordered the sirloin steak which was very good and the burger which was fair. The menu has a fantastic range of food options, a nice list of wines by the glass or the bottle and nice range of locals ales and lagers. A tip - leave a little bit of time to look around the different eating rooms, Champagne bar and tea room. I strongly recommend eating at this hotel.

Have been eating here for years, have to say now better than ever and innovative vegan and vegetarian menu showing it is now moving with the timesWell done Paul excellent job introducing such innovations and also the care and trained you exert and leading by exampleMushroom risotto and Thai Veg Green curry were excellent

Absolutely Fabulous ❤️ What a real treat eating here... This restaurant has it all. Super staff special surroundings with a fabulous atmosphere, delicious food too. A most delightful afternoon, thank you. On arrival I strongly recommend booking as it gets extremely busy.

Staying at the hotel we are eating in the Oak Room more formal dining one night and had a light evening meal on the other in the Garden Room. Decorated for Christmas it had a lovely atmosphere. Service polite, helpful and friendly both in the evening and at breakfast. The portion sizes were huge - especially the well cooked fish and chips. The crab and prawn fish smaller of the two portion options was quite sufficient and very fresh and tasty. House champagne eminently drinkable. Fresh warm bread but sadly butter rock hard. All in all happily recommend for quality and lovely venue. Two mains plus one soft drink and one champers £48 without service.

I visited the George with my mum and brother for dinner yesterday and what a treat! We each couldn't speak highly enough of our mains - I had the salmon skewers with dill yoghurt with just melted in my mouth - washed down with a couple of glasses of delicious rose champagne! I asked to swap the couscous for a green salad which was no problem - I expected a simple green salad but it included avocado and apple and a lovely dressing. I had a taste of the sticky toffee pudding they shared and the sauce was just heavenly. A faultless meal and wonderful service.

Had dinner with the whole family to celebrate my Brothers birthday, what a fabulous evening! Excellent food quality, generous portions and top class service. Had a lovely pasta dish, great flavours, staff made a fuss of my brother with a special cake we didn’t even ask for. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

We were really disappointed to see portion sizes reduced yet again. As regular customers we have watched prices go up over the years, but that is to be expected. However, last time we visited the salad on the side of my meal had gone to be replaced with a few pea shoots. My side of French fries was in a bowl half the old size and it was only just over half full. At £5.60 they must be the most expensive chips in Stamford!I realise costs have to increase but I felt the 2 reductions in size was a bit of a rip off.

Went for a birthday lunch which proved an very pleasant experience. Calves liver and sea bass were nicely presented and both dishes were perfectly cooked and full of flavour. The sticky toffee pudding, caramel sauce and ice cream was to die for !

Went with friends to the Garden Restaurant on Friday evening booking is not possible it was busy but we managed a table. As soon as we sat down we were asked if we wound like drinks we ordered a glass of wine £10.70! G& Ts etc We did get free tap water. Service was slow the food expensive fish and chips £22.00 that said plenty on the plate. We declined desserts.

Decided at the last minute to break a journey with an over night stay, what a treat. I have visited the George on numerous occasions to eat but never stayed. From start to finish we had an excellent stay, superb service and food.

Enjoyed a wonderful lunch in this classy venue. Service ambiance and food could not have been better. Highly recommended.

Midweek visit around 18:30 not particularly busy, long delays in service, requested items that never arrived. Food when it arrived was fine but let down by poor service. Seems to be poor supervision and management of staff. We have been before and had a poor experience thought we would try again, will not return

Had another great meal here last Saturday..... lovely mussels followed by lobster and pasta..... good choice of wines/beers and spirits... well worth a visit.

The George has its ups and downs but right now it could not be bettered...Delicous food ...fabulous friendly staff and unbeatable atmosphere!

We have now eaten twice in the Garden Room . and both times excellent .. the first time a bit slow as it was Mothers day and they were very busy .. but hey! who is rushing when good food is on it's way !

I love it as its my local and the garden room is lovely. As you would expect a garden room to look, green, palm, flowery plants and busy waiters.

Our lunch of pan fried sea bass was absolutely delicious. It melts in your mouth! Fantastic service by the lovely Ulf and staff. Always a delight to visit the Garden Room.

We love THE GEORGE ..for atmosphere! And the wonderful staff.But as a regular customer l find its very hit and miss as to whether you will get a good meal or a bad one! Tonight was bad! Very bad infact!

This is simply the perfect place to stop off at if you're tracvelling on the A1M. Good olde English luxury and service. Not only is Stamford a bit like visiting the Cotswolds but in Lincolnshire, but even if you're just passing through The George has it all to replenish your energies in the Garden Room. Very tasty lunches and afternoon tea your mum used to dish up with fruit scones, fresh cream and jam that will more than satisfy your appetite - if not your waistline. Not the cheapest, by any means, but well worth a visit.

Called for a coffee in the Bar at the front of the Hotel on Valentines morning (you can have snacks in the bar or lunch) visited for lunch in the Garden Room which is a magical room with a lovely show of plants in the centre of the resturant & in the back room have wonderful pictures painted on the wall.

We went to the Garden Room at the George as it was a last minute decision it was great because you don’t have to book and luckily it was not busy. I had the mussels and my husband and son had the beef burger. Every thing about the food was excellent. Service was good. Bit pricey but worth it!!

My girlfriend and I visited the George for a meal in the Garden Room. We have been on previous occasions for meals and on every visit the food has been outstanding and the service first class. The menu has a good variety of choices so there is something for everyone to enjoy. I would recommend the blade of beef as it literally melts in your mouth. The portions are generous and for wine lovers there is a very good selection of reds and whites (as well as rose). The staff are welcoming and there is a sense that the staff like their job and work very well as a team. In particular Carlo, Enzo and Carmelo have been very accommodating and hard working on our previous visits. They are always very friendly and enjoy making customers feel welcome so thank you very much! The managing staff in the restaurants are also extremely friendly and provide a very high standard of service.

A gang of us went into the garden room. It was busy with a good atmosphere.

What a fabulous wonderful lunch we enjoyed on the Sunday before Christmas . We arrived early for lunch in the garden room and the only critique was that due to the large amount of people waiting surely they could allow customers to be seated before Midday to save blocking the lounge and public areas .

I know it was Christmas Eve(and this is not the first time we have been here then) but the wait this year was simply ridiculous, when we finally got to our table we had to ask 3 times for water, we had to wait 30mins from giving the order for the starter to receiving then, then another 45minutes before the main course, so by the time that came one of our 6 dinners had lost his appetite, the whole meal took around 2 hours. This is a very busy time of the year for The George and the food isn't really worth the price you pay, and the service certainly is not upto scratch. The George is more of a place to be seen to go, there are better places in Stamford, will not be going next year.

Visit the George often when travelling down from Scotland, always stop for food and usually dine in the Garden Room. Always excellent service and the food is amazing! Always the same friendly manager that makes sure to check on your every need. The staff are super attentive and look after all your needs.

Visit every year for lunch in the garden room, you did not disappoint, lovely food, excellent service. Only criticism was that you had taken the steak and kidney pudding off the menu. See you again next year.

I have come here on two Saturdays running with two different groups of people. What a lovely way to enjoy the run up to Christmas than come here for lunch.

The garden room is a great place to eat. Their is plenty of choice on the menu.The food is well prepaired and served in decent portions. The staff were excellent, we found them professional and attentive. We really enjoyed the experience.

We are two couples living in different parts of the County, and as we all love jazz, we decided to buy tickets to the Jazz Evening & Dinner on 26th October. Imagine our horror when we were shown to a table in a room at the rear of the Main Room (where the jazz band perform). I simply could not believe it. We'd paid money to see a jazz band and were given a table where it was impossible to...see the jazz band. When I queried this, I was told that if I wanted a table in the Main Room, I should have specified this at the time of booking. I was also informed that regular attenders of the jazz evening (presumably locals?) do exactly this. What am I? A mindreader? And finally, I was told that the jazz band does indeed leave the 'stage' and walks through the rear room, playing a couple of tunes! I believe The George needs to be more honest and state at the time of booking, whether or not patrons will be able to SEE the jazz band, or be placed in another room with refrains floating through the open windows between the rooms. Current practice is misleading, and that's not on.

Many people had recommended the George main restaurant to us but it looked rather stuffy and the prices were eye wateringly high so we thought we would try this alternative. The staff were lovely and attentive and could not have been nicer but the food was terrible, pre cooked and flavourless. TO claim that this food has been prepared freshly by a chef on the premises is a joke. The food was straight out of 3663 or Brakes food lorry. I was so disappointed. At the prices you charge for dishes this is not what I would expect. The restaurant was full on the night we visited but we heard several people complain that their food was not what they expected and was simply tasteless. I would not recommend this place as somewhere to eat unless you like bland pre cooked food at high prices.

Simple. Lunch in the Garden Room. Almost £70 for three bowls of pretty average pasta (no salads etc), and coffee. Would have considered an ice cream each but would not have ejoyed it for £9 each. Other options were beefburgers ( £20) or an open sandwich (£15). Service was mediocre, atmosphere average. Quite how this hotel can justify charging double the going rate for meals astounds me. Only went three as we were did not want to embarrass our host. Would not recommend.

The George of Stamford is a real treat. I’ve had the pleasure of eating here a few times for lunch and dinner, it’s always good whether you’re a couple or larger party. The extensive menu and wine list in the Garden Room caters for all tastes.

The Garden room is a favourite for special occasions. The atmosphere is lovely, the service excellent and the food is great. It’s on the pricey side depending how many courses you have but a really enjoyable evening in a nice setting. Well worth a visit.

Second time I’ve visited the garden room recently and second time we’ve had terrible service.

This has to be the best off the A1 stop off eating establishments going.

Ok you pay a few quid more but it’s worth it for the lovely food and ambiance coupled with excellent service.

Lunch here is a truly wonderful experience. It was the first time we had eaten in the Garden Room having previously dined in the stunning Oak Panelled Restaurant. We have two small grandchildren and thought that everybody would be more at ease in a less formal environment. Having said that the Garden Room is still a beautifully decorated room with a lovely atmosphere. The staff were great. Smart, attentive, professional and when the meals arrived they were delivered with "enjoy your meal" and not the dreaded shortened "enjoy". The food itself was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection and having coffee in the lounge afterwards rounded off a perfect Sunday lunch. The menu is varied and I would thoroughly recommend the 10oz steak. It's not cheap but quality never is. As Arnie once said "I'll be back".

We visited this restaurant because we wanted to try the typical British menu of roasts and Yorkshire pudding, but it turned out this was only served in the high end Oak Room for which we were not properly dressed. So we had dinner in the Garden Restaurant instead, a nice courtyard al fresco place. Sadly it turned out that the food served in the oak Room two steps away, was not offered in the Garden Restaurant (whyyyyyy). So we had a large platter of seafood instead, which was a generous quantity but the quality was disappointing (some of the seafood obviously came out of the freezer). However, the historic venue is nice.

Renewed menu.Well presented fried fish and chips from east coast and Cromer craband Thai fish cakes Lovely place to lunch in the cool of the tropical plants surrounding the many but private tables. Opens at 12noon but cannot prebook. Very popular for good reason. Great for meeting friends, but not easily accessible as short stairs to enter, and other stairs within the hotel for facilities. Medium price ranges

We sat outside in the sunshine looking at the beautiful building and planting, ate wonderful food (our daughter had mussels, we had the grand seafood platter), drank refreshing high quality wine, beer and juice, were served by friendly professional staff and felt completely relaxed - it was like being on holiday. Perfect. Thank you to The George.

Having been a regular diner at The George of Stamford for almost 50 years I have always resisted the temptation to write a review. However, that changed following our last visit to The Garden Room restaurant a few days ago.

A great menu and a likewise great delivery! A well prepared and presented meal, good wine list and good service. We shall return.

Superb evening at the Garden Room in The George. Real effort has been made to create a lovely cosy and attractive restaurant. Service was first rate and food was exception. I had a Steak and Ale pie to die for and my wife was very happy with her Sea Bass. It’s not cheap, have a bottle of wine, dessert and coffees and it’s around about £100 a couple but everything is quality and it’s certsinly ideal for special occasions. 5 stars all round.

Thsi is a very popular restaurant in the famous George hotel. Bookings are not taken but if the room is full (which it often is, especially at w/es) diners are given an alarm which tells them when a table is available. The wait is usually short - just long enough for a pre-lunch drink at the bar. The menu serves a variety of salads, pasta, fish and meat mains. Vegetarians are not well catered for on the main menu but can order from a separate menu

Always a joy to go there. Had mussels for him pasta (lasagne ) for me. Excellent food, service and value for money. THANK YOU.

I have eaten at the George several times and each visit I feel the restaurants and service gets more dated.

Our first visit to The George and it didn’t disappoint. We were welcomed warmly on arrival and offered a choice of seating. The Garden Room really is quite beautiful, stunning. It has a relaxed, calm atmosphere.

There is nothing negative to say about our meal last night in The Garden Room at The George. The welcome, service and food were all wonderful. You always hope that a visit to The George will be that much better than anywhere else in the area and we certainly weren't disappointed. The Restaurant Manager deserves a particular thank you - she was amazing but so were the rest of the staff. Thanks to you all for making my father in law's birthday extremely special.

We arrived for lunch in the Garden Room on Saint Valentines Day. Staff so welcoming, polite and efficient. We enjoyed a superb lunch in wonderful surroundings. This made Valentine’s Day really special so thank you to all the staff. I can recommend the lamb (it was so tender) followed by the George’s Sherry Trifle.

My husband and I visited again a couple of weeks ago. We loved it and honestly couldn’t find fault. I have reviewed before (a year ago) and although I thought the food was fantastic I felt previously the staff lacked attentiveness. This visit the waiters...

As always, the service and food in this restaurant was of a very high standard. The ambience is unique and sets the scene for a most relaxed and enjoyable lunch.

We found ourselves in this lovely restaurant Celebrating our belated anniversary! I have to admit I know this hotel well but have never dined in the Garden Room.

My husband and I dined in the Garden Room as a stopover on our UK road trip a week ago. Nestled in the heart of picturesque Stamford at the stately and historic George hotel, we entered a re-creation of a green oasis. Most of the menu was a mix of Italian and pub offerings. A special tapas menu was also offered, of which I took advantage in ordering smoked feta cheese, calf liver on bed of mash, and gnocchi with blue cheese and butternut squash purée. My husband had the steak and kidney pie. Our meals were excellent. We enjoyed the ambiance, resolving that we would return and include a stay at the hotel as well.

I came here with my wife for our anniversary. Inside the George Hotel there is a lovely feel to the place and it is very pleasing to the eye. The Garden Room restaurant itself was a sight to behold. It looked stunning in all its festive splendour. The menu is quite traditional and a tad on the expensive side but the food was very tasty. The staff were very attentive but they did seem slightly over staffed for the number of people dining. Definitely worth a visit.

Step back 150 years and be cosseted in coaching inn that has retained the special atmosphere of a place that absorbs travellers - whilst serving its locality with distinction. Undoubtedly some of the best and most authentic hospitality to be found in England - they make it seem so effortless - but perhaps it is after 1000 years.

Very disappointed today. I had steak and chips and sadly, it was tasteless and oily. My husband had the burger. Again, disappointing. These plus a bottle of water and cheese and biscuits for one and coffee for both of us came to £70+. Even the coffee tasted burnt and syrupy as though it had been kept hot for too long.

Very popular eating place, not cheap but fresh, well cooked food of a number of cuisines to give diner choice.

We took our friends to the George for an early lunch we just stuck to mains because of time pressures I had the chicken pasta two of the others had steak & kidney pies and one salmon dish all were superb this is a place to go for Avery good lunch

We only had breakfast in the Garden Room which we couldn't fault. The decor and the plants are quite something and if the price of dinner in the Oak dining room is outside your budget we would think an evening meal in here wouldn't disappoint.

Came here for a family lunch, with our grandson, aged 11 months. Good highchair provided. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Although the menu was similar if not the same as a few years ago, I had my favourite two items - the lobster spaghetti then the tiramisu. Both excellent. Atmosphere was lovely with the mirrors, lighting and plants adding to it. What would make it even better? Maybe a more varied menu, and the opportunity to reserve tables, so we know we can plan our day around the meal, rather than taking a chance. But can recommend this restaurant for something a bit special (as it's quite pricey) if you are in Stamford.

A lovely ambience to the whole room, breakfast was served in this room and also had overflow in the afternoons for afternoon teas.

We were made very welcome and even though the evening was a bit chilly the heaters allowed us to enjoy our alfresco meal in comfort. It was a very special evening.

スタンフォードに住む知人家族とともにブランチをいただきに訪れました。知人曰くスタンフォードで最高と言われるホテルの中庭でのブランチです。チップスとオリーブ、シャンパンを注文し、気持ち良い日差しと風を感じながら会話も弾み楽しく食事をすることができました。給仕する女性スタッフも感じよく（スペインのセビーリャ出身と言ってました）、歴史を感じる建物の中庭で知人家族とともに最高の一時を過ごすことができました。

had lunch there today. bit pricey but well worth it. lovely dining room full of real plants, staff extremely helpful and friendly, food was really tasty and not too filling, desserts were delicious. thoroughly delighted with whole experience.

A group of 9 of us managed to get a last minute reservation - we were sat outside under the heaters, which was fabulousThe menu was very varied and the kids were catered for very wellThe staff were so friendly and helpfulEverything was done with efficiencyThe dessert trolley is impressive ! - so make sure you leave room for dessert !We were visiting friends and can't wait to return

Quality cusinie...Great menu..Is open until 10:30pm...which is really good, when arriving late..after a busy day...

We are regulars at The George.. we just love it's quirky relaxed atmosphere .. but our most recent visit to the Garden Room was terrible. My wife's cheese fritter starter was cold and our main meals ( beefed skewers with prawns) were both cold and tasteless.We did tell them on departure.... prices seem to have risen too! Maybe they are taking this business too much for granted. We will give it a break for a while.

Lovely lunch today in the beautiful garden room .Varied menu with great service , lovely to see the youngsters learning the ropes .

A quick stop for lunch enroute to the North and sat in the garden as the weather was warm and dry. Quickly served and ordered the George antipasti which was superb and the Flavours of Asian Chicken (Thai green curry, Asian Chicken, chicken tempura with sweet chilli sauce and rice). Great to be back at the George though short. Service was very good and it was very busy.

We have visited many times but felt disappointed by this visit.The portions seem to have got smaller, the staff seem disinterested and the whole experience was lacking the class and polish of previous visits. No check backs, hunting staff down to place an order and very fatty cutlets.We love the George garden room but not in a rush to return.

On a visit to Stamford, it is compulsory to visit the George. We did so for lunch in the Garden Room. I would suggest getting there early as, even on Monday, it was busy. The food was excellent and the ambiance not too stuffy. A nice touch is an orchid on every table.

A wedding gift, a dining experience at The George Stamford. And we were not disappointed! The Garden Room was a delightful experience, lovely food and great atmosphere. The staff on today were friendly and attentive despite the restaurant being packed and as soon as one table emptied more diners would arrive. nothing too much trouble. Certain to return again.

We stopped her for lunch during the week for a treat and that's what this is. The restaurant is beautiful with orchids everywhere and on every table and the service is impeccable, attentive but understated. The food was good, we had a pint of prawns to start and then I had pork belly and my guest had Asian chicken three ways. It was all presented nicely and tasty but I'm not sure if the food matches up to the price of it but having said that, it is definitely an experience in a stunning setting.We will return!

The Garden Room is just as it sounds,except it's indoors. Delightful ambiance and excellent service. We have stayed in the hotel many times but this time visited for lunch as a birthday treat. It did not disappoint.

I'm picky about my scrambled eggs and the other half is a sausage snob, but this place excels every time.
