Excellent evening. Matt looked after us, even though it was busy we didn't wait for anything

Great buffet for Christmas get together. Generous portions too. Plenty of space to mingle. We found the music much too loud for conversation which was a pity.

Went to the George today with friends for lunch. Waited an hour and 20 minutes for food and then left. Apparently they were short staffed, but even after telling us our food would be 10 minutes there was no sign of it after 20 minutes. It used to be good but I won't be going there again

A few of us popped in to the George for a couple of drinks this weekend and ended up staying for a couple of hours. The doorman with glasses welcomed us with a beaming smile and even helped to turn the umbrellas heater on with good humour - it’s not often that happens when four fellas approach a pub! Good banter with everyone that we encountered and would definitely go back.

The food was amazing! We were a bit worried about the price, but the pizzas were absolutely worth it. Jess was our waitress and she was very friendly and quick to serve us. I gave 4 stars to the atmosphere because it got pretty loud halfway through our dinner, but I guess that's to be expected in a pub on a Friday night

I had a fantastic time at The George! The staff is incredibly friendly and charismatic, making every visit enjoyable. The atmosphere is lively, especially on Fridays with live music and sometimes a DJ. There’s also a cozy garden area in front with heaters, perfect for winter. The food is great – the Sunday roast, in particular, is a must-try. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a welcoming pub experience!

Popped in last night while on stag doo as used to be the place to go yrs ago. Just found it all a bit pretentious in there. There was a live singer. But still no real atmosphere. And beers as always very expensive in there. Overall a bit dissapointed. Biggest thing to mention was the lady bouncer on the door. Pure attitude. No hello, or welcome just gave everyone a funny look as she did with everyone else. Made everyone feel uneasy. She needs training on politeness when people come in and leave. Rather than just stand staring at everyone. All in all just not great experience at all compared to other places we went

It’s not often I get a decent old fashioned in Harpenden, but Dom made a great one here. He even went out of his way to find me fresh orange peel - thank you! I revisited the George on Saturday night with some friends and I was expecting to receive another great Old Fashioned from Dom, but unfortunately Dom wasn't working, no fresh oranges could be found and although Old Fashioned was on the menu, it wasn't available how it should be made. I do enjoy the Pineapple Mezcalita they serve here, but it definitely doesn't beat Dom's Old Fashioned, when access to the necessary and very basic ingredients is possible

Very disappointing. Booked a table in the restaurant but were seated in the bar due to an event in the restaurant which we weren’t told about. So noisy due to the event, we literally could barely hear each other and struggled to get our order across to the server due to the high level of noise. Service was hurried, as if we were in the way and the food was ok, not great , some elements of dishes barely warm. I’ve been here many times with friends/family but honestly, not sure if I’ll come back again.

Abi our waitress/server offered to give table service even though it wasn’t the time that table service was offered. She was so friendly and engaging to our little family member. We had a brilliant experience, also the food came out quickly & really flavourful. We ordered 2 pizzas which did not disappoint 5/5. Abi thank you for a great experience, you have restored our faith in great service does exists. Thank you again

We had a fabulous meal at The George. We were visiting family and decided to have Sunday lunch. The restaurant was busy and there were some big tables, but the service was excellent considering. Our drinks and then food arrived in a timely manner. I decided to have the cod and chips, my wife had the Chicken Milanese, which she said was delicious. My son and his partner both had pizzas, which were well covered full with ingredients. For dessert my wife and I shared crumble and custard. We look forward to our next visit.

We dined at the George 29th of August for an evening meal there was six of us, the meal was so disappointing, four of us had the Chicken Milanese it was supposed to be with salad and fry’s, the chicken was dry and looked burnt, the salad consisted of a couple of pieces of lettuce and two small pieces of sun dried tomatoes, i have never seen anything like it, we also ordered a dessert the ice cream with flapjacks, when that came it was one spoonful of ice cream and two tiny pieces of biscuits not a lot of thought had gone into that desert, and at £6.50 it was well over priced, the bill came to £136.00. Very expensive meal and very dissatisfied customers.

It was disappointing to order a Chef’s speciality to be in the position to reject the dish: Caponata Rigatoni; strong flavours as capers and olive completely lost in a bland dish. However, what really made our experience worst was the customer service; a glass of lemonade was spilled on the table, there was a quick reaction to help but as soon as we asked for a better job, literally, a roll of blue tissue was left on the table for us to complete the cleaning up, quite disrespectful!

Atmosphere is great but thats it, weve been coming here for over 3 years now and every time the quality of the food is just getting worse and worse and cant justify the price anymore. I mean they charge 7.5£ for half a cup of tiramisu which taste absolute gross, its nothing like tiramisu. The basic sainsburys tiramisu which is 2£ for 2 is 10x better. On the top of that, I ordered a capuccino together with my tiramisu and I had to wait 15 minutes for a coffe😅 for this price this place is a joke just ripping off customers. The lady behind the bar really nice helpful and doing her best but its just not enough

My family member were visiting from Ireland and we bought him here to experience the delightful ambiance of a lovely town and I can definitely say that The George left him enthralled with everything the restaurant had to offer!

I booked an igloo for a surprise bday about 6 weeks ago… only to be cancelled by voicemail at 1.56pm on the day… 5.5 hours before the booking! To say we were fuming is an understatement.
