The George in West Dorset

Wonderful homemade Steak/Ale Pie such tender meat it melted in your mouth, excellent Chucky Chips, with lots of veg just £10.50 friendly staff

Another superb midweek roast dinner, the lamb was one of four choices of roast and was delicious. Always a pleasurable top quality experience at an affordable price. Great service too, nothing is too much trouble. Thank you.

We travelled over 30 miles to go to the George for their roast dinner lunch, which is always superbly prepared, with extensive vegetables and nicely cooked, together with the sweet that comes with it. Very good value for money meal.

Five star meal at a reasonable price. The roast and pudding was excellent. Note, no food service Mon and Tues. Service above average

The town's oldest pub with great atmosphere. Excellent food & service. Highly recommend the Sunday roasts. Excellent value. Well worth a visit!

Prompt service, well cooked and appetising food. Very fairly priced and good sized portions.

Good pub grub at a great price. Good beers on offer, I was given a sample to help make my decision, really friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

I had a lovely steak and chips tonight at The George. The steak was exactly right for medium, with perfect chunky chips. The portions were generous, very good value. There was nothing the staff Debs, and Sam wouldn’t do for me. I will definitely be coming back.

Came to shurbourn for the weekend,the George Hotel is very friendly the food was really lovely and the Treacle pudding was amazing.Staff was really nice and very hard working as it was busy.Best pub in shurbourn.Thank you for making our visit very welcoming.

The food was top quality and plenty of it recommend the three meat roast with a dersert

Lovely pub, warm welcome from the staff and the food was excellent value for money. Good beer as well ! Will go back again.

Although we live in Bournemouth, whenever we are in the vicinity of Sherborne, we always visit The George for lunch. It is an old public house with a lovely atmosphere. The staff and service couldn’t be better, and the food is superb and great value for money. We’ve never been disappointed over the years and yesterday was no exception. I had scampi, chips and peas - absolutely yummy, followed by apple crumble and ice cream…couldn’t have been better. We we’re also impressed by the splendid new carpet throughout. All in all, definitely worthy of our 5 star rating

Lovely pub at the top of town ,great food and good value . Friendly staff . And nice seating outside sun trap.

We are visitor to sherboune and when we were looking for places to have food as a Family of 4, we saw George hotel, and it said on the website that they were serving food We decided to go there and when we asked at the bar if they were doing food the lady behind the bar replied with a curt ‘No’ and just walked off. Certainly wouldn’t return.

An Excellent lunchtime meal chosen from an extensive menu choice. All food was well cooked, presented and delicious. Service was also excellent- swift and friendly, with good advice on choices. Desserts included in price was a pleasant bonus. Our venue of choice this summer.

The staff were very friendly and the service was quick but the food wasn't great at all, definitely tasted and looked like frozen food and part of the meal was burnt. Also the pub felt kind of awkward to walk into

Great local pub, well worth a visit. Friendly welcome and very well kept beers. Great place for a drink before or after a meal at the Green.

Great proper pub! Lee is brilliant.

Had a fantastic family lunch here. Excellent friendly service, the meals were great value for money, arrived soon after placing our order. Highly recommend. .

Called in for a lunchtime drink and had a bit to eat- the Staff were very friendly and helpful, so we decided to book for the evening dinner. The menu was varied and appealing- the food was delicious and well presented. Again the Staff were very friendly- would definitely recommend and call in when visiting SHERBOURNE.

We are local residents and love the historical, warm atmosphere, the other friendly patrons, and the welcoming staff.

Lovely dog friendly place next to bus stop so no driving n drinking

Very friendly and welcoming hotel with a stunning view of the cathedral.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch . Portions good and really good price for the 2 courses we had a main and a pudding. Need to book a table as busy place .

Lovely pub food, big plates and very reasonably priced. Really friendly, both staff and customers are welcoming and chatty! I had the burger and it was epic, service was fabulous - cant wait to come back xx

Very unusual regulars (not in a good way.) Lovely staff. I used to see this as the ideal quiet pub in town, though recently was told off by a regular for 'stealing the warmth' because I'd only had one drink in the half an hour I'd been there; it wasn't busy and I hadn't made any nuisance. I went elsewhere for my second.

Had friend from hospital in wheelchair, brilliant, helpful, staff.Food great at very competitive prices. The staff were so accommodating, that we've used it several times.

Old, really old in a good architectural way, and unspoiled, good beer, friendly staff, just as it should be.

Consistently good for Sunday lunch

Went for Sunday lunch - excellent home cooked food and home made puddings. A very enjoyable, step back in time (in a good way)

Lovely home cooked food. Wide choice including specials from £8.50 - £12 Proper traditional pub plus dining area

Oldest pub for many, many miles. Food is top quality, beer is superb and the staff are different class.

Just had a lovely meal at the George in Sherborne, we had fish and chips and a steak burger which was lovely Cheesecake and profiteroles for pudding both tasted really good The service was excellent very friendly the pub had a great atmosphere Would definitely visit again

Perfect friendly little pub. With home cooked affordable lunch food. Will definitely go again. Family environment with nice customers

THE GEORGE is a gem. I've been going there for years, with my old dad (who lives locally), The owner and staff are friendly and welcoming, the food is very good and reasonably priced, and you're in the oldest pub in Sherborne. The atmosphere is great. I would recommend The George to anyone. It's also in a great location... right at the top of Cheap Street (Sherborne's "high street"). Long may The George continue!

Had one of the best burgers and chips I have had for a very long time. Perfect Chips with some body, and a lovely tasty burger. Good service by friendly staff, especially as I was just s walk in. Would go again.

A very welcoming and cozy pub and restaurant with great food - and they were dog friendly in the bar area.

Called in for lunch served by a very friendly lady. Hubby had the faggots on the specials menu and I had the fish and chips both of which were excellent. Lovely traditional pub

The food was excellent, the only reason I give 4 and not 5 *, is because online and on the menu given out, it says cauliflower cheese with vegetables and new potatoes, but it came without potatoes, and when I asked told that it did not come with potatoes. But the meal was nice, just would have been 100% with potatoes.

Nipped in for a quiet pint and some 'pub' food - and not disappointed! Caring and courteous attention from the nice lady who was greeting and serving all customers very efficiently - and single-handed, at that! Varied menu at value-for-money prices - had cod and chips which was very good in terms quality, preparation and size; although the plate was a touch on the small side to accommodate the meal comfortably. Beer was good, too. I'm not keen on dogs in dining areas but, like so many pubs these days; by commercial necessity, they allow dogs in. These are restricted, however, to the bar area only. I do not visit Sherborne often but when next I'm there I'll return to the George, for sure. Thanks to all the staff.

Visiting Sherborne on a very rainy day, with a 91 year old in need of a sit down, and a very large, very wet dog. Was welcomed into the dry bar area and had a very reasonably priced and very delicious, well presented lunch. Friendly staff… what more can you ask for! Thank you!

Having stopped at the George about a year ago just for a bite of lunch, we returned on a spur of the moment visit while traveling near Sherborne and looking for somewhere for dinner. We were so pleased we did! Once again the welcome was warm and friendly, the beer well kept and the menu provided plenty of options to choose from. Although one of the recent 'very warm days' I can never resist a roast dinner, especially when Lamb is one of the options (which is rather rare now days!), while my wife opted for a steak and ale pie. Both were delicious and very reasonably priced, so much so that I was surprised when I was informed that my roast included a pudding! Well we left totally satisfied, full to gunnels and promising to return next time we're in Sherborne. Thanks again the George Team, keep doing what you're doing!

We hadn't booked but we're welcomed the service and food was excellent and value for money.

Stopped off for lunch with my daughter and grandson for lunch and was greeted by friendly helpful staff , the food was excellent and good value . With Parking right outside The George was a bonus as it was raining when we left

Fabulous friendly pub with delicious home made food . Always a warm welcome ,highly recommend. Oldest pub in the town .

The George is a wonderful old-fashioned pub with good beer, good wine and good food. You'll get a friendly welcome from the regulars (I'm one) and the lovely bar staff. This is the sort of heart-warming pub we all knew years ago, but that are now few and far between. If you are in Sherborne, don't miss it.

Lovely welcoming pub with tasty homemade food . And great prices . Highly recommended. Dogs welcome too in the bar .

Nice little local with regular customers. Small choice of real ales, but you cant go wrong with Ringwood Brewery. It's success means no seating, especially when the restaurant is busy. However, you can't blame the pub for that! Two locals very kindly offered their seats to us as my companions were disabled. My marking down is sadly due to a moody landlord. I know we all have bad days but it was a pity that we felt a burden. The female member of staff was a delight. Toilets were fresh and clean (BTA)

Proper good pub grub and friendly staff! Had the fish and chips which were perfect would highly recommend!

Possibly the worst fish and chips I have eaten. Cod and chips consisted of a small bit of fish coated in thick greasy batter, accompanied by similarly greasy chips. It appears that the neighboring table was similarly unimpressed, as that couple left most of theirs on a plate.

Highly recommend Sunday Lunch .Very reasonably priced at £ 13 a head for 2 courses . Lamb on the menu which is not usual on a Sunday menu , dessert menu impressive. Service excellent .

Very welcoming, friendly barmaid (s) & chef. High rating from me

Overcooked fried eggs! This is a basic and should never be sent out Overcooked. Returned but no apology, just a miserable look on the woman's face. Will not return, and I live locally

Very pleasant and friendly traditional pub.

Our regular in Sherborne. Lovely little pub, reasonably priced and the bar staff are lovely!

Very disappointing, my brother and I went for lunch , as we only had parked for an hour we both ordered ham egg and chips, thinking that this would be quick . We waited 40 minutes when the food came the eggs were hard and extremely overcooked so we sent them back. 12 minutes later the meals came back and the reheated chips were overcooked. As I am a diabetic and needed food to avoid low blood sugar we ate the food. We had no apologies for the bad quality of the food and will not eat there again. Just for the record they were not even busy .

Exceptional Food and Service.Most likely the Best Pub I've ever visited. Would definitely be my local if I lived nearer.

The pub is quaint with really lovely staff and the food is very reasonably priced. When we went, it was £13 for a roast and a pudding. The puddings were fab - a delicious toffee and honeycomb crunch cheesecake. The roast was a bit old-fashioned and only three small roast potatoes but my mum loved it.

Visited The George for lunch, the food was fantastic and reasonably priced. Debbie behind the bar couldn't do enough to help. Would definitely recommend visiting if your in the area.

Had a business meeting there we stay for lunch. The staff are friendly attentive and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back

Lovely home cooked roast dinner. Friendly staff. Great prices.

Excellent customer service great food

Great food and a lovely place to eat

Excellent service, beautiful food and catered for GF needs too. We prebooked our annual family Xmas Pub Meal (not been there before). As we live a long way away, they it was all done via email and they trusted us without a deposit. 7 of...

Very good lunch and great menu . The roast lunch was very nice and desserts were great . The children's menu has a good choice too . Will be going again .

£12 for rost and afters vary nice staff and high quality food

What a superb pub, with a great lunchtime roast, perfectly cooked, and such a variety of 10 vegetables. The service is brilliant. It’s a place we make for if ever we are in the vicinity.

Thoroughly Enjoyed our lunch here today. Excellent value with loads of meat and veg. Really well cooked and tasty. Polite and courteous staff. Well worth a visit, just don't book my place for next time.

Fantastic little pub. Short and sweet place. The bar staff are very kind and chatty. Got a nice local feel to it. The music I heard the other night from Charlotte Smallwood was bloody brilliant. I had a very good time. Normally pubs make me uncomfortable I but this place made me feel like I'm at home.

Very nice clean and tidy. Pleasure to see a welcoming landlady.previous landlord was very miserable. No problems in recommending

First time visiting this pub tonight. We’ve been staying in Sherborne for 3 nights and wished we’d have found it sooner. Lovely meal's,good quality, decent size portions and piping hot. Staff were very friendly and helpful Pity we’re going home tomorrow or we’d be back. Thank you

Friendly staff, good food at a fair price and excellent beers. If we were to be in the same area again we will definitely revisit.

Great traditional pub, oldest in Sherborne

We visited this pub intending to have a meal on entering I asked an older staff member if food was still being served as it was about 2.15 pm the reply was Yes , nothing else such as yes please find a table or I...

Lovely food well presented great staff overworked Will go again ***

Very convenient, staff did their very best to please. Thanks

Great service and super roast dinner! Thank you

Food is yummy and we are always made to feel welcome by the staff . Family and dog friendly too . Nice place to meet new people and have a game of pool .

Great homemade fresh food with extremely reasonable bar prices, staff are amazing, welcoming and very knowledgeable regards food menu.

We had Sunday roast which was mediocre but was inexpensive so wasn't expecting much to begin with. The puddings/desserts were good which made up for the lacklustre main. Staff were friendly and the pub had a nice atmosphere. Unsure whether I'd come back.

Lovely little pub, very friendly with great beer and cider

Lovely landlady who dealt with my husbands "meal making" very well lol

Just enjoyed a great Sunday lunch at The George in Sherborne. The food was perfect and the service friendly and welcoming. Thank you!

Good as always , friendly customers.bar staff always friendly and pleasant 😊

Good pub Good owners nice and kind.

Good atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Its always pleasant in the pub .. it mite be just fir a drink or playing pool ..

Fantastic friendly staff and service. Delicious food and great value for money.

Nice meal, friendly atmosphere

Had a lovely lunch very reasonably priced. Very friendly staff.

Yeah not bad. Never been in there before. A pub is a social place and people should respect that.. ,!! Seemed very local but all very friendly. I would go back for a pint.

we ate here last week , and although the food was fine , basic pub grub, and not too much choice for vegetarians /non red meat eaters, the service was really exceptional .we were greeted in a very friendly way, and looked after exceptionally well....

We went here for lunch after a hike around Sherborne Park. We were very pleased. Friendly staff, great food, great value and a huge open fire. This was a great find and we will be back.

The bar maid in the George sherborne is probably the most hard working person to serve the public I have ever met if it wasn't for her I don't think I would drink here amazing girl I think her name is deb

A village pub in a town. 4 real Ales in excellent condition and good value food. An enjoyable session in Sherborne's oldest pub.
