The George in Cotswold - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Excellent visit to The George today for midweek lunch. Really good value and had taken our requests from the booking seriously. Main courses and desserts looked appealing on arrival and the whole party ate everything.

Just had the Ruben’s burger big juicy full of flavour and well worth the price It beats all other burgers cooked to how you like it and it’s so filling Staff very friendly and can’t do enough I had a lovely large glass of red So if your looking for something that ticks the boxes why not try the George on Kempsford 5 stars

Superb food, great atmosphere and the staff were lovely. Can't wait to return. Recommend the cauliflower and cheese soup and bread was the best ever. Also the risotto was beautiful.

Simply the best Sunday Roast in England! Roger is a magician with his chef abilities and Emie front of house is superb! Great teamwork and another amazing family meal at a wonderful village pub! See you soon! 👏🏻👏🏻

Led by a very experienced husband and friendly wife team this is a fine pub for locals and visitors (don't miss the church dating older than its patron john of gaunt) , welcoming and bustling; sound Arkells beers; the food menu is good pub standards very well executed and presented with fresh veg and good sauces; tender beef and pork stand out in high quality; fish and chips comes in cider based batter; best to book

We went for Sunday Lunch last weekend at The George. To my delight, Roger had Haunch of Venison on his menu. Skilfully cooked, venison in the right hands can be delicious. Over cooked, and, well to my mind, forget it, it's just not worth eating....

First class food, a good pint of Guiness and perfect service. Dog friendly which is very important for us and our friends.Thank you.

A birthday meal at local pub turned into something special. Really well cooked food and wonderful pudding beautifully served

came with friends they felt the same as me .The food was all first class The service was A1 and the staff were very friendly and efficient would highly recommend you go along and enjoy!

Another stunning Sunday lunch. Perfect roast beef- perfectly pink, wonderful, light Yorkshire pudding, crisp and fluffy roast potatoes plus excellent fresh veg add up to the ideal lunch. Well done Roger, Emie and team- our favourite pub!!

Would give more stars!!! Excellent food fresh, homemade and absolutely delicious Service fantastic!! Thank you

Food was excellent, good choice and reasonable price. Great friendly service. Would definitely recommend. Steaks were delicious 😋

Excellent meal and service. Food was really good quality and well presented. Quantity was spot on. We had an eclectic mix of dietary needs ( gluten/ lactose/ shell fish), which were fully catered for. Service is really good and staff are friendly and interested in...

First visit under the new management. Fabulous food with very attentive service from staff that care. We will be back as 'regulars'. Just a great experience with food that is difficult to beat and very acceptable prices.

Stopped off for a bite while out walking. The grilled sandwich and Caesar salad were gorgeous. My wife said she didn’t want the salad to end, the best she tasted for a along time. First visit since being taken over and will be back to...

Having followed the new landlords from their previos pub; we were not dissappointed and found the same qualities in both front of house nad back of house that we had come to expect from them. The prices are not cheap for pub grub , but...

Went to the George after spending a day at the air show. Looking forward to a few beers and a nice pub dinner. Very disappointed to find a fast food van in the car park and having to pay £2 deposit for a plastic beer...

First visit since the new landlords have taken over. Food was mediocre and overpriced. Warm friendly atmosphere has disappeared and instead replaced with a cold, abrupt front of house. Very disappointing and we will not be in a rush to return.

Visited the George with a few friends. First time since change of hands. With limited items on the menu to start with to be told they had run out of certain items early in the evening was a little disappointing. One of our party had...

Had a lovely evening at The George. Great hosts, with good food and a fine pint of Arkellls Wiltshire Gold.

Arrived at 8pm to find the pub nearly full!which was a great sign. The friendly staff explained the fish of the day which was sea bass. The starters of salads,squid, and ham hock on toast was lapped up by all, so fresh and delicious. Mains...

We were bereft when ultra skilled chef Roger and his wife Emie left our favourite Wiltshire pub at Winterbourne to take over The George at Kempsford. We waited eagerly for them to open, and our visit yesterday for Sunday lunch was nothing short of epic!...

Absolutely beautiful Xmas meal at The George - 4 of our party had turkey with all the trimmings and I had the most amazing sea bream - great service and amazing service - we would all thoroughly recommend this lovely little pub

We were highly recommended The George by a friend living locally who also strongly suggested booking due to its popularity. Suffice to say we won’t be passing on such high recommendations based on this experience. Starter of calamari was so overly deep fried that the...

Went here evening of sat 12th June. Sat at table 3. We had main courses of lasagne and also a super tasty pie. The new look , and good as always friendly service was a delight. Allergens were double checked as my partner doesn’t like...

Beautiful pub, and lovely garden. We sat inside and ordered lunch at 12.35. It arrived at 1.20! No reason given for such a long wait but it was clear just one person serving the whole pub and one man cooking were utterly rushed off their...

Beautiful beet garden. The little bubbles outside make it a viable weatherproof Covid secure stop. The fact it’s such a beautiful looking old pub mean it’s quite nice to be able to sit outside enjoying your beer (or in my case lovely cold cider) whilst...

Went here Tuesday night. Booked using messenger giving our details ahead of arrival. The pub is in immaculate condition inside. Deep cleaning between guests and Social distancing explained on arrival We had mains of rib eye steak. Sublime and amazing portions Highly recommended

Another great dinner at our wonderful local pub The George, Kempsford! Very busy but wonderful hosts and atmosphere! Great food as always and very special service! Thanks to front of house Jade & Ruth for making a wonderful evening so special! \o/ see you all...

First time to Kempsford and popped into The George for some food. Staff were so lovely and polite. The food is homemade and absolutely gorgeous, we had steak, ale and mushroom pie which is the best I have ever tasted, would definitely recommend if you...

Our first date night in two years and we could not have picked a better place to eat, we shared a starter, nachos were a nice option to see on a menu, then we both ordered the ribeye steak with a sauce each, usually I...

A-mazing. Just eaten here and we had an incredible meal. In fact the best pie and lasagna we’ve ever had (and we’ve eaten a few in our time). Definitely worth a visit and really reasonably priced. The lads on the bar were both great and...

Lived close by for over 13 years but never been in. What an omission! Good, solid pub, with a good range of beers and excellent pub food. All the favourites, like burgers, prawn coctail, Caesar salad - and a pizza oven. Lovely garden. And, what...

Family of 6 dinner at The George, Kempsford! Thanks Ruth & Paul for a safe and well run Pub/Restaurant! We spent 3 hours after 3 months of Lockdown in our local village pub! We enjoyed every minute and felt safe & secure with the new...

We went two consecutive evenings two weeks ago. Having just moved to the area , this was such a nice place to come to. The staff are charming , welcoming and happy to answer any questions. The food was tasty , hot and great value....

We were here with a bigger group. Place has nice atmosphere and it is true Pub, which I liked very much. Staff was friendly and helpful and I was pleased for their help and assistance. Food was pre-ordered and it was OK. We had beef...

We met up with friends for a Friday lunch and all four of us were very pleased with our meals. A varied menu with some good old favourites: liver and bacon casserole cooked in red wine and served with mixed vegetables and mash. Substantial servings...

We enjoyed fish and chips and nut roast. Fair priced wine. Completely dog friendly. Happy staff. chioschips

We came from Canada to stay in the area and ate at the George once and it was so good we ate there again!! Excellent food, great staff and yummy pudding menu They had gluten free options which was unexpected and nice

Came here for a “date night” was pleasantly surprised, food was good and it has an old county feel but still modern and clean, will definitely be returning! One thing that would make it a 5* would be something in the garden for kids! Would...

We turned up for lunch just before they finished serving food but still welcomed us. The food was lovely (especially the chocolate brownie!!). The portion sizes were good. There was no separate children’s menu but some adult meals were available in smaller portions for children....

Had a good walk in the local area with some friends followed by Lunch at the George. It was not our first visit to the pub, but was our first since it came under the current management. Brilliant is all I can suggest and well...

We met up with friends for a Friday lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Admittedly they weren't rushed off their feet but staff were attentive and polite, we received good service as well as good food. Menu was varied with some good old favourites: liver and...

What a super job they have made. Much much cleaner and organised. Food is excellent. Happy service. Happy customers too. Second visit wont be our last

So after being disappointed at missing breakfast on Saturday (stops at 10:30 for future reference), our group visited for lunch on Sunday 21 July. It was busy and when the food arrived we could see why. Four of us chose the roast lamb, with Yorkshire...

Four of us are down here for RIAT. and have been using this pub for a few years. This week we found the new (last year) landlords to be excellent. Very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The bar has a very good range of well kept...

Six of us had a very nice dinner here. I chose The George because of the varied menu and everyone was very happy with their various choices. Several of us didn't need a big meal and the 'Light Bites' options were appreciated and more than...

On our list of places to go for Saturday lunch and we were not disappointed. We plumped for the light bites at £6 a head and two hours, two pints and some well presented food later we left feeling well happy. Arkells 3B was at...

Enjoyed a super roast lunch on the Sunday before Christmas. My sister in law said it was the best roast dinner she had ever had and I agree. There was beautiful tender beef and an excellent Yorkshire pudding to go with the delicious vegetables. Also...

I had dinner here with a friend one Friday evening. There was a deal on burgers where you get a burger (with chips) plus a drink for £10. The portion are generous & the good delicious. They were also able to swap the brioche bun...

This young couple that have just taken over the George are Fan-Tas-Tic. Our Girly Christmas meal was Excellent. (I wish people that are unhappy with part of their meal would let the staff know before eating it and then moaning.) The pricing for the 2...

Oh wow! Booked a table for 6 the night before for my husband's birthday. The food all came our at the same time and was sublime. The newly decorated dining area looks so smart and warm. The ambience was up there with some of the...

My family and I came to The George for a weekend treat. We live in Swindon, so its about a 25 minute car journey - but it is really worth going a couple of extra miles for this high quality, delicious food! Between the six...

After giving 5 Stars the last visit here, I was disappointed with my tonights visit. We ordered a Steak and Guinness pie £12.50 and a small 6oz Rump Steak £7.50. When the food arrived I tried cutting into my Steak with the steak knife which...

This is a lovely Cotswold pub and has been a favourite every time I visit the area. Shame the Cricket Pitch next door is no longer available, as this used to make a lovely afternoon: lunching, drinking and watching cricket. Anyway, recently met a friend...

Having travelled down to Gloucestershire from North Hertfordshire we arrived just in time for lunch. Over the course of the years we have tried many of the various pubs and restaurants in the general area surrounding RAF Fairford. We were in the area as we...

We had a revisit tonight and ordered a Steak and Guinness Pie £12.50 and a light meal Ham ,egg and chips £6. Both meals arrived after a small wait , the meals were very tasty with good sized portions even for the light meal Ham...

After a nice lunchtime meal we decided to treat my father in law to some dinner as he was staying over. The menu is varied with your standard pub grub but also some nice different choices. I had the vegetarian curry which was good, maybe...

I called in here to have a pint and lunch and check out the nearby airshow which you get for free! In fact better as a lot of the aircraft fly over the pub. Sadly I didn't stay long as I was headed further south...

We’ve been here a few times over the months for a quick Friday night tea and we’ll probably go back again. The lasagne is lovely with pulled beef and a taster cheese. My wife had the sweet potato curry which was also very nice. The...

We visited on a Saturday evening to have a look at the new Landlords menu , returned on the next Wednesday evening to taste the food . Well we were amazed at the quality of the meal , really nice . We ordered a 6oz...

The George has gone through a few owners in recent times but today’s Sunday lunch was excellent. I couldn't fault with the food quality, quantity or price. There’s a homemade, good grub, clean feel about the place. The staff seemed stretched though, on this particular...

The new landlord/landlady have much improved this great local pub. Been a couple of times for evening meal and in a group for Sat lunch. All the food both visits was excellent, well presented and very tasty. Staff are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend...

I was in a large group and we pre ordered our meals. We had a great meal and the staff were friendly. It has a nice country pub atmosphere and clean interior. Can’t fault it

Popped in for a drink and few weeks earlier, after looking at the menu decided to come back for lunch. The food is lovely with plenty of options for vegetarians, large portions and very tasty. I had the vegetarian burger which was filled with tasty...

Have eaten at this pub a while in the past, and wasn't overly impressed. However visiting with family last weekend thought we would give it a try as we had heard it had been taken over by new owners. Great welcome even though we were...

Five of us had dinner here last night. It was the first time I had eaten here since the new landlord and landlady, Paul and Ruth, took over the pub and I was not disappointed. Even though there were several other groups eating, we did...

We had lunch here in this beautiful cotswold inn. Staff were friendly and service was very attentive. Only had a light lunch but it was very tasty and they cater well for all dietary requirements. Definitely worth a visit.

Horrible atmosphere and very unwelcoming staff..... everything was an effort for them and was even told by the lady behind the bar that she 'hadn't got time ' you answer my questions about three local area! Dont waste your time our money xx

My boyfriend and I stayed in Kempsford for the weekend and found this beautiful pub. The food was absolutely out of this world and the pub landlord was extremely welcoming. He made us feel really at home and nothing was a bother.

We had dinner at The George on Saturday evening whilst staying in nearby Whelford. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, treating us just like locals or neighbours. Cosy pub with tasty food and a great atmosphere. Even our 10 month old Cockapoo was made...

First visit and the three of us each ordered a different meat off the roast lunch menu and were all equally delighted with the quality of the meats and accompanying vegetables. Obviously cooked with care and well presented. Good choice of desserts. Particularly recommend the...

One of the best Sunday roasts had in ages. Beef was very tasty, plenty of roast potatoes and a giant Yorkshire pudding which was fab. Full restaurant with great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Very good selection of homemade puddings.

Visited last night as it's reasonably local to us and I had heard that the owners had changed so thought we would give it a go . To start excellent large car park just off the main road through the village. The bar is very...

We were taken there by friends for Sunday lunch, best sunday lunch we've ever had out, lovely crispy roast potatoes and yorkshire puddings, generous portions, had a job to eat it all but had to, friendly staff we will definitely be going again.

Pleasant village pub well used by the locals. Food is good and sensibly priced; good English fare and nothing too extreme. Children and dogs welcome and frequently seen there. We enjoyed a very good New Years Eve party there a couple of years ago.

This pub is amazing as the staff make you feel at home. Would highly recommend paying a visit and enjoying the food.

Popped in here for food. It is a nice country pub. Looks like the only one in the village. We had chicken which was nice and well presented. My friends wanted a bbq but it took so long to get, and a sausage burger was...

A warm summers day at a local country pub, looking to stop for lunch, and a refreshing drink. They have a perfectly adequate beer garden to enjoy the sun. Although when we went to order some food, the bar maid told us, "the staff will...

Excellent choice of good food. We had two lunches and an evening meal there during our stay at Kempsford. The Sunday roast was delicious and the wood fire made it very homely
