The George in West Dorset

Great service nothing was to much trouble. Good choice of ales, the food was really good had the faggots and mash and the chicken burger would highly recommend. Great atmosphere and very good value. Food is 12 to 2 then 6 till 8 well worth a visit.

A lovely village pub suitable for all the family. The lady behind the bar from the north (all right me duck) is very friendly, organised and is the heart ❤️ of the pub

Beer was good, food was deep fried and average at best Service was fine... but even though we had a table you could not have a tab / pay at the end of the meal and had to pay up front. Food was edible, (I had scampi and chips), but it was overcooked, deep-fried and fairly tasteless. Noone came and asked how our meal was going, and when the waitress came to collect our plates, she did not ask how our meal WAS. just whisked the plates away. I could not be bothered to go and tell them that although we ate it all, (we were starving), it wasnt great. would we return if in Charmpouth again, probably not, as there is a pub up the road which looked better, but was v small.. but if that was full, then id go there for a beer only and get a takeaway fish n chips from across the road!

Disappointed. We were holidaying in Charmouth and The George looked a good bet, Trip Advisor indicated that it was open all day. Not so. We walked up to it and found it was closed from 14:30 until 18:00. Not all lost we found the Royal Oak.

Family oriented pub, polite and friendly staff. Big garden with plenty for children. Dog friendly. Bit pricey for food which was a typical pub menu - it was nice but the chips tasted as if the oil had been used too long. Dog meal of rice and chicken nice touch (consider the size of your dog it’s only a little pudding bowl full for £4 which would do some fine but not my collies they had to have ice cream too! 😂)

A lovely family pub, staff were great and it was really a nice place for a meal!! Food was a bit meh kinda okayish, just a few tweaks and it would have been perfect! A better quality chip they tasted cheap, toasting the burger buns a chunk of fresh pineapple instead if tinned would make such a difference

We visited The George on Saturday evening and were looking forward to the Party in the pub with live music playing in the beer garden. Unfortunately we left very disappointed! The drinks were fine, but we were disappointed in the limited selection of local beers and ciders. There were no Dorset ciders available at all and the only options were Thatchers Gold or Old Mout. Dorset has so many fantastic local producers, so it was really a shame that this was not represented. We are a family of 4 and all ordered a main course. Two of us chose the gammon as a healthier choice, one had a chicken burger and my son chose the macaroni cheese. The gammon steak itself was okay but the salad I asked for as an accompaniment had far too much dressing on and the pineapple slice seemed to be an uncooked round from a tin. The chips were just frozen chips. The macaroni cheese really wasn’t good. It had very little cheese taste and was floury and watery. It was a real shame as the price of the food suggested a much higher standard. It would have been lovely to have freshly prepared food, but unfortunately a lot of it seemed frozen or heavily processed. The music was fine, but just a bit loud to enjoy with a meal. Unfortunately we didn’t finish our food and left to eat alternative meals at home. The pub itself has a lovely atmosphere and there is a nice space outside for children to safely play. The staff were all friendly, chatty and polite. They made us feel very welcome even though we clearly weren’t locals. Local produce and fresh food would have vastly improved our experience at The George, but unfortunately we won’t be returning.

After visiting on Saturday evening we found out the George does home made Pizza on Monday. My Wife and two children was very keen to try this experience, which in truth I wasn't a bit keen as I not had a good pizza for 25-30 years which I used to get in my local village from a proper Italian restaurant. I've tried various places including major brands and chains but nothing ever came close to it until tonight. Met by a very friendly barmaid which we later found out was called Linda, we was served drinks and told where to order and collect our food. Served by yet another friendly young lady we waited for properly cooked pizza which I can only say is the best by far and on a par with what I had many years ago and very sensible price. I can really say if I had to rate them out of 10 I would give them a 11 . Thanks all at the George.

We had three lovely freshly baked pizzas in the beer garden. Could have done with a bit more chilli but was super tasty, nice friendly service, reasonably priced, lovely local cider on tap. Friendly goats in the field for kids to feed.

Food was disappointing. We ordered gammon steak and when it arrived it was so thin, more like a piece of bacon. No honey could be tasted. Very noisy when large groups moved chairs around tables. The prices were above average for the food quality.

We are visiting Charmouth for a week and visited The George on our first day as it was the closest pub to our camp site. The food was lovely and the staff were helpful with some changes to the kids meals. The experience is really made by the excellent service of the staff. My 12 year old autistic son chatted with a member of staff about rocks and she was extremely kind, patient, inclusive with her approach. My son was keen to return again before the end of the holiday and gave the staff member a rock. The member of staff remembered him and gave him a warm welcome once again. Would highly recommend for a lovely family experience, with quality food and staff who are absolutely getting inclusivity right ☺️.

What a lovely down to earth pub . Staff friendly couldn’t do enough for you despite what other reviews state , just goes to show don’t believe everything you read . Food was off the lunch time menu and was very nice , i had sausage and onion sarnie which came with chips and my partner had a chicken wrap , both lovely . we sat in the garden as it was so sunny. plenty of seating inside and out . on some evenings they even have music there . we will definatly return. thank you very much .

The food was really delicious. We had burgers and our son had a kids meal. The staff were really friendly and the facilities are wonderful - a great play park and goats that the kids can feed. Just a perfect place to go with the family.

We decided to go for a meal on the Saturday and food started at 5.30 and we were told that the kitchen opened at that time but we were served about 5.40 which was great as we were hungry The atmosphere was lovely friendly staff The only thing it’s expensive for what you get I had the veg tart and salad which consisted of salad leaves and more salad leaves some tomatoes and cucumbers Not worth the money so I order chips £4 My husband had scampi but didn’t taste like fresh scampi might have been shop brought or frozen Wouldn’t go again but busy pub

Really friendly welcoming pub. The real ales were very good. We had Otter bitter and Otter ale. There also was Tribute, one of our favourites, but the Otter bitter won the day! We didn’t have a meal, but people that did were very satisfied.

Good pub food, but more important a very warm welcome and good atmosphere, despite being out of season. Took time to chat.

Good pub food in a lovely setting! Dog friendly and even gave us some treats. Very friendly staff, might just have to come back during our stay!

A great dog friendly pub with tasty food and cosy log fire! Was a perfect stop for lunch, definitely recommend the pie!!!

Great food and lovely warm atmosphere! Recommend the Chicken and Ham Pie! Good selection of drinks and range of desserts

I visited The George with my parents when we were passing through Charmouth and it didn't disappoint. The food was great and the staff were really friendly - especially the landlord Dean! Thank you for a lovely visit.

Two of us called in for our first visit, after a beach walk with dogs. We were given a warm welcome by friendly staff, served a really delicious lunch with a drink before a real fire. Everything was clean and well-maintained. We can certainly recommend this place and hope to return.

Excellent family orientated pub with good beers priced sensibly in this day and age and a good lunchtime menu. Lovely landlady who made us and all who entered while we there very welcome. Middle of half term week decked out for halloween very well. Very happy to recommend.

Great food, friendly, fun staff. Very accommodating with food requests. Good atmosphere and were made to feel very welcome.

Very warm welcome, delicious well presented good value food that arrived promptly. Highly recommended

What a lovely traditional pub staff so warm and friendly and great choice of beers and food Loved it and will be back again soon

Very nice plentiful food on a Sunday evening. Masses of chips with scampi. Bramley apple pie and sticky toffee pudding gorgeous. Nice pint of Tribute. Polite staff, quick service. Nice clean pub.

The food was good. Ordinary pub food. But the pub had a vibe like they wanted you to eat the food and leave. Like bums on seats. Rotating. I understand this in a fast food restaurant but not in a restaurant. Hope that they re think this and be more warm and welcoming.

Went with my wife in early October for dinner and drinks. The George seemed well run, the beer was well kept and the food arrived quickly. The staff were pleasant and polite, and after customers had left we noticed tables were cleaned quickly. The menu was classic pub fare, not trying to be overly complicated and was well executed, we had the veggie options and had no complaints. Portions were well sized, not too much or too little. Sticky Toffee Pudding was great, would happily go back.

Very accommodating to our party of 14 who arrived just as the kitchen was closing. They kindly served us all a lovely meal. Very friendly and attentive staff.

We were staying in the village so decided to try this local hostelry. We got a warmwelcome in a busy pub. The menu was cut down for Covid reasons, fair enough. I went for plaice goujons. They came deeply fried within an inch of their lives, as were the chips. Fine, but at £13.50 I thought the meal relatively expensive for the quality of food served.

Excellent pub food and very friendly service. The staff did an excellent job in making us feel very welcome despite coping with social distancing rules. Well worth a visit and the steamed sponge pudding is highly recommended.

Had a lovely meal here last night. Took the kids and puppy for a final meal before the “month” lockdown. All the staff were lovely and friendly, made us all feel welcome! Great atmosphere. Food was excellent and service was excellent to! Will definitely be back for more meals in the future.

Fantastic pub with covered garden. Dog's welcome. Beer was excellent and great food. Service was exceptional with a no problem attitude. Would definitely visit again

The pub looked warm and inviting, nicely decorated in Halloween theme. Unfortunately we were ushered straight out the back to dine in a "tent" in the rain with patio heaters. It was pretty much downhill from there.Going by other reviews I had the Steak & Ale pie, which was good, but the other meals were awful, especially the kids menu. Nothing fresh or homemade here, all shop bought frozen, ready made stodge served with a mountain of chips. Even the pizza came with chips & beans!? This pub is very behind the times.Waitresses not interested and very robotic, which was likely due to all the Covid safe gear they had to wear.Good beer, but waitresses only knew 2, so check them out as you enter!Dog friendly.

Service was great, staff were really kind and friendly. It was very clean and covid safe. The food was delivered by friendly people- Eden Rose was a particular star! Atmosphere is very cosy and welcoming. We went over the Halloween period and the pub was very decorative. Our table was served big portions, which was perfect after a big walk to Golden Cap! Good value for money, given the big portions.

A lovely pub. We visited on a very wet and windy day and were delighted with the friendly atmosphere. The staff were great, food was tasty and portions were good too. Great English pub puddings as well.

Very friendly pub, food was lovely and great beer, staff and owners made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back.

We went there as a group of 4 for an evening meal. The Covid management was excellent. Service was prompt without being rushed and the staff joined in our banter making us feel well at home. The menu is limited at the moment due to the virus but there is adequate selection for any taste. The steak and kidney pie was homemade and excellent as were the other meals.Save room for your dessert or you will regret it.If you are in Charmouth looking for some where to eat or drink you couldn't do better than The George.

We visited here on a rainy Saturday at the end of October, initially for drinks in the afternoon whilst waiting for the bus to Bridport and then we came back for dinner in the evening. We arrived at 5.45pm (they start serving at 6pm) and it quickly became full. I was a little disappointed with the reduced menu available - lots of red meat and not many healthy options- the only real one was the vegan chilli which I didn’t fancy. I opted for the chicken burger which was okay but nothing amazing. However my partner had the chicken wings and then homemade steak pie, which he said was excellent. The staff are lovely and friendly and it’s a great pub, I just wish there had been more varied food choice.

Brilliant down to earth food served by lovely friendly team. We both had steak pies which were gorgeous, lovely shortcrust pastry not too thick. Dessert for chocolate lovers was Belgian choc pudding with ice cream - totally yum, warm gooey and perfect! Lots of room inside and out the back too so you won't be turned away, no bookings so just turn up, that makes a nice change. Great evening so we would recommend highly.

I went there for meal with my friends and is an an amazing nice warm friendly service with beautiful food. my late mum loved this pub too her favourite.

The food was lovely and very good for its price. Puddings were outstanding and the Belgian chocolate pudding was amazing.Friendly staff and all the crew were very efficient ,food was very quick .

We love this pub! The food and drinks are reasonably priced and the quality and service is excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive. We were served by Heidi who was second to none with her great communication and service, even in the Covid safe environment. Well Done the George.

Went to The George several time during our weeks holiday, what a great pub. We felt totally safe and would recommend to anyone. As you enter you sign in, use hand sanitiser and you are shown to a table, its so well organized. Dean and all the team work so hard, they are friendly, welcoming and so helpful. We will be back, thank you for some great evenings. If your in Charmouth give them a try you won't regret it.

We had a lovely evening in this charming pub, the staff were very welcoming , the food was excellent . If you are staying in Charmouth or just passing through, it is well worth a visit.

We visited Charmouth for 1 week and visited the pub every night for food.The food is excellent and i felt safe in there as they had the control of the pub well under control due to the virusExcellent serviceHad to queue to secure a table as they don't open most days during week until 6pm.1 day possibly Monday the kitchen is closed.Will visit again.

Fantastic food, very friendly and helpful staff. covid friendly. Been coming here for years always felt welcome.

After a long days cycling the George was a perfect place to have dinner. They allowed me somewhere safe to leave my bike. It was set up very well for covid and the staff were top notch, Heidi in particular was outstanding. Really enjoyed my food and pint. I would definitely call in again if in the area.

We called in the George a few times whilst we were on holiday for a week in September, but we have been holiday customers for a few years. The pub is bright, comfortable and cheerful with good cask ales and good quality food. Dean who has been in the pub for many years is friendly and approachable - as are all who work there. Look out for the beer festival in June - Covid permitting.

We were in Charmouth for a week and had one sandwich lunch and two main meals. We enjoyed the food and the men enjoyed the beers, as well. Food was decent pub grub, steaks were cooked as requested, pie was home made, and there were plenty of chips to go with it! Staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They were good fun. The only down side was that, due to levels of staff, the large beer garden was closed, which was a pity, as the weather was lovely.

We had a lovely meal here at the George, Heidi was very accomodating and the service was friendly and fast. Food was good, pub grub with a smile, our son ate a record of 107 peas with his sausage and chips! Giod selection of draught ales. The only thing that could have made it better would have been some sunshine

After an hour of waiting to even take our food order we gave up and went to the fish and chip bar up the road, which i would say, was fantastic. There were so many things wrong with The George that after six of us wasting an hour of our lives, I do not wish to spend any more time telling you how bad the service was, but it was a long list of incidents. I normally praise my eateries but shocking doesn't even come close and all of us felt the same.

Nicely decorated dining area which looked like it had recently been updated. (Probably in their lockdown period). Friendly staff, especially the young girl who was our waitress for the evening. All four in our party had different mains, Curry, Fishcakes, Gammon and soup with bread. (Would have been nice to have either thick crusty bread or crusty roll instead of two slices of which looked just like cut bread). Otherwise all good, we all enjoyed our meals For the dessert, three of us opted for the Apple Pie, and what a good choice that was, can honestly say it was the best Apple Pie I have tasted. Our compliments to lady that lives nearby who apparently makes them. Please, please can I have your pastry recipe. All in all an enjoyable evening.

Visited this pub whilst on holiday nearby. Very friendly and welcoming, had the chicken tikka masala curry which was absolutely lovely, followed by lemon sponge pudding and custard - divine! Covid secure in all aspects, felt ‘normal’. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Stopped by after a couple of pints after a relaxing walk alone Charmouth Beach. Very covid-safe, very welcoming and lovely team, all round great visit and service adapting to all the new rules.

Went here after a long journey. Initially went to the garden but started to get chilly and moved to the extension. Ordered drinks and food at the bar. Went for the West Country Steak and Bangers and Mash. Food arrived in 20 minutes. We'll cooked and good portions. Onion gravy was fantastic. Finished with toffee and butterscotch pudding and lemon drizzle puddings. Good value for money. Staff are fantastic, can I say hilarious. One way system in progress which works well. Will return if in the area.

Super friendly staff, covid precautions in place and the best damn apple pie ever! Highly recommend.

We visited on a Friday night after a long and tiresome journey. The food was great, the service excellent and it was a very satisfactory end to the day.

Excellent food and service despite these hard times. Meal was well up to standard and the waitress was friendly and very helpful.

Felt very welcome and secure in current climate. Nicely set out and organised. Fantastic service and great food!!

Had a lovely dinner here this evening. Pub opened promptly at 6, would only let you in once you'd completed the track and trace form.Food was very quick to come out and was absolutely lovely with huge portions.Would gladly come again, nice ambience and lovely cheery staff.

Food was satisfying and tasted home cooked. Dean was very welcoming and friendly. Great team doing a hard job during the current climate

The fagots were amazing and the peas where hot and not hard.amazing and friendly staff and great service

Pub was lovely......but absolutely no obvious track and trace in place. On looking I found a small sign asking people to sign in to the system, but saw no one actually doing so, or being asked to do so. Sadly, cases are again rising in the UK.....and all pubs etc need to be able to help track customers to curtail this. A sad let down.

Great pub with large garden for children to play .went there every night for good value food ,safety was there main priority so felt very safe .

The customer service was five star The social distancing system was very well thought out, we had 4 dogs with us and were made to feel very welcome, even supplying treats for furry friends. The food was great especially the vegan Thai curry. We will definitely be back. X

We come to The George when stay near by, and every time we are greeted with friendly staff. The food is amazing and great not over priced. Never disappoints! There’s a cosy atmosphere and a lovely play area in the garden for the children.

Absolutely lovely pub to visit,we loved the goats!Perfect service,very friendly & welcome,great place with kids & dogs in tow!Wonderful food,thank you very much!

We were at the George Tues, Wed and Thursday this week. Wonderfulf Food, great atmosphere, friendly and pleasant landlord and all the staff were lovely We have been visiting the George for 10 years when we stay at Newlands.We have never been disappointed with the food or the service.Keith and carole

2nd visit to this pub as a family group whilst on holiday. Friendly staff, good food, nice beer lovely garden and play area for the children. Even has 2 goats you can feed.

If you are worried about going out, this is a good pub to go to as it has good measures in place to make you feel comfortable during this time. The staff are lovely and the food is good. Charmouth is a great place too!

We has a couple of meals in this pub very nice food will not break bank good beer friendly staff all working to enable our safety we also stayed a few hours in beer garden (as one does on hols) there are kiddies climbing frame and stuff plus goats at top of garden very usually more kids!!! recommend

We arrived at the pub for a family meal (4 adults). Clear instructions & signage greeted us with instructions for ordering & getting a table. Screens were in place at the bar.We asked for a table inside to be cleared for us & staff were quick to do this & it was sanitised as well.All staff were wearing masks & the condiments were given out by the waiter from his apron pocket. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble especially when our daughter asked for extra gravy - they were quick to respond.All in all under the current covid restictions it was a safe & pleasant dining experience. As for the food it was good pub grub, arrived hot well presented and generous portions.Would definitely recommend this pub to dine in.

Excellent food and beer, served by very friendly and welcoming staff. Huge bonus are Pixal and Sporticus, the resident goats! Under Covid, well posted directions and sanitisation to and from the bar, but keeping the good pub feel.

Great local pub, local ales always available as well a big choice of other alcoholic drinks as well as non-alcoholic drinks! Very well setup under covid conditions! Been to charmouth over 10 years consecutively and always popped in for drink! In that time the place is still at a very high standard - staff very friendly and helpful

Lovely pub with very friendly staff. Sat outside in the wonderful (large) beer garden and ate great food and drank a tasty pint! Sensible COVID precautions in place also.

We came here for lunch on the 23rd August. During these difficult Covid-19 times we weren't sure what to expect and to our relief we managed to find a fabulous pub with amazing food and a very friendly team managing everything perfectly. Honestly The George made our day!! We didn't have to book in advance, there was plenty of space (a huge beer garden) and we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The food was beautifully cooked, hot and delicious - exactly what you want for a lunch out. The pub itself was very well organised with regards to social distancing and customer/staff safety. They have everything in place to make you feel safe. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be going back. Good prices too. Honestly, I cannot fault the place!!

Great pub, food was amazing. The staff were very friendly, heidi in particular, she was a fabulous host made sure we were looked after. 5 star rating. Would definitely go back.

This pub was perfect for us A family of 3 and a dog. They had a cute little play park at the back of pub for the kids and plenty of tables outside for people to sit at. Dog friendly which was great. The food was average food avoid the steak pie it was very dry. The burger was ok. Staff very nice and polite I would revisit again

the food was amazing, great flavour. The staff were very friendly, Dean in particular, he was an excellent host and made sure an extra dish was brought as quickly because one of our party forgot to order it! 5 star rating. Would definitely go hear again.

Lovely food and great service! Very quick and efficient, all the staff were lovely. Would definitely come again- highly recommend!

We were staying close by in a holiday village and so wandering about in Charmouth looking for somewhere to eat when we came across The George. Chose to sit in the garden as felt safer in these Covid times! Pleasantly surprised at the size of the garden and there was a great play area for children, and two goats! I chose the vegan chilli which was nice but the portion size was a little small. My partners faggots were ok. My daughter had the chicken nuggets and I have to say they were awful, absolutely rock hard. I didn’t complain as my daughter was happy enough and starving but they really were quite unacceptable. Overall we had a nice evening though, it was a pleasant atmosphere and felt safe.

Such a warm welcome into the George, lovely staff very friendly. Must say the food was amazing. Thank you dean for the brilliant table service. Would 100% revisit - definitely recommend to all.

Lovely environment for me and my family. Amazing dinners which everyone enjoyed and the service was spectacular from Dean! Would highly recommend and will definitely be coming again. Also very clean and safe, considering the current circumstances.

Staying in Charmouth, needed a quick pint and a bite. The owner and wife was so friendly you would always return. The food is good pub grub and you won't be disappointed 😉. Give it a go, and its dog friendly.

We visited The George twice on our recent holiday to Charmouth and wish we had discovered it earlier in the week! The food was simply delisious, homecooked pub food, very accommodating to all food needs, the beer garden was huge and well kitted for the kids. Also in these uncertain Covid-19 times we find ourselves living in we as a family of 6 have not eaten out much as don't feel comfortable but this place was so well thought out and so we'll organised, in fact the whole village made us feel at ease to be frank! Definately worth a stop in for some lovely service and beautiful food and if your lucky a gorgeous rainbow!

Only had drinks on this occasion, lovely big beer garden out the back, decent play area for the youngsters.Social distancing in place and looks to be working well.Spotted a few dishes coming from the kitchen, they looked good too.Will definitely try the food next time.All together a nice friendly Pub in the middle of Charmouth main street.

Lovely staff and probably fine for having a drink and socialising, but we went for dinner and after a 40 minute wait the food that appeared was either from a can, frozen, burnt or tasteless. We ordered a steak- medium that came out well done and tough, a burger that was pinker than the steak and burnt on the outside, sausage and mash which had burnt onions, deep fried sausages and a rubbery Yorkshire pudding. We were really looking forward to dinner but we're sadly disappointed.

We came in for some food. We where told about 40 min wait for food so we sat down ordered and it came out around 30mins all food came at same time and all hot. The food we had was amazing juice tasty best we have had in a long time. We loved it so much we had to talk to the chef and let him know just how much we loved it. We'll done guys u have an amazing kitchen team and a lovley front of house team keep up the fantastic work you guys rock xx

I felt relaxed and safe here so really enjoyed my visit with my family. Tables were really well spaced inside with clear arrows. We sat at a picnic table outside for a drink and chips. I am a worrier and had brought some antiviral wipes with me to wipe down the table before we sat down. I had done this throughout my holiday in various tea gardens and pubs. My antiviral wipe at the George was still completely clean after wiping the whole table- no dirt at all on it! I think this is impressive, particularly for an outdoor table.Well done to the staff at The George!The chips and drinks were served with a smile and others around us were bring served some nice looking food There is also an outdoor play area and goats in the field beyond. There is also a well ventilated simple marquee with tables for when weather is poor.

Ate there twice when we stayed in Charmouth. Both times, excellent food, excellent service. Very covid safe. Would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the village or passing.

Stayed in Charmouth last week and visited The George several times. Firstly just for a quick evening drink but later for the food. Initially, we called in as it was the closest pub to where we were staying. Thought we'd just pop in for a quiet drink before heading back. Glad we did. The staff were very friendly and polite. Obviously there are Covid rules in place as there are everywhere but they are easy to follow and clearly explained on arrival. Went out into the large beer garden which again is socially distanced but not to remote feeling. Large area for the kids to play in but our "little" girl (12) loved the two goats at the far end. Only popped in for the one but stayed for a couple in the end. Came back for the food next time. Greeted friendly again and shown to a table. It was busy but not "too" busy. Didn't feel crowded or rushed. Food was great. Steak was done to perfection and all our order came out quickly. Wife had Lemon Sponge and custard for her dessert and it was huge! After a couple of drinkies and full tummys we went home. Next time the place was very busy but once again, staff were friendly and showed us to our table. Food and drinks were spot on. We all had the burgers and they were superb. Desserts were delicious and although, like I said they were busy, never felt rushed. Reluctantly left after a lovely meal and headed home the next day. Can't recommend The George highly enough, only wish we had tried it earlier in our holiday.

Really lovely place with very friendly staff .... service was fantastic. . Great food and very reasonably priced. Would recommend

We have enjoyed visiting The George this summer with our grandchildren. The Covid protocols adhered to while maintaining a friendly and relaxed atmosphere The garden provided a fun space for our Grandchildren 6 and 4 while we waited for our meals. The food suited us all. Excellant 'family fayre' provided by friendly efficient staff. We will definately go again.

We were a large family group who were visiting the area for the week.After speaking to the lovely Heidi and finding out how they are dealing with Covid and what we would have to do In Their establishment we were all excited.As we were a large group we had lots of different things off the menu and EVERYTHING we had was great! I would do the 4 hour drive again for the tuna mayo jacket potato! (We were there twice- 1 lunch and 1 dinner- the dads did visit Daily though!) Their rules for Covid are very clear and very easy. The pub is a lovely old place And spotlessly clean. The outside area was great for the kids (aged 8-12) and they had a bit for smaller kids too! The girls thought the pigmy goats were very cute. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating was a winner too Thanks for the great times

The location from our holiday cottage was great and the play park at the rear of the restaurant for the two 5 year olds was perfect, but the food was mediocre. The burger appeared to be deep fried along with the sausages. We would describe the whole experience as average at best.

I ordered a Ploughman's. It was perhaps the worst I have ever had. The bread (advertised as crusty) was soft ready-sliced, the cheese was cheap and rubbery, the pickled onion was dried up and it was served with Doritos (ie the cheapest available snack food). To cap it all when I asked why they were not in the "eat out to help out" scheme I was told there would be an admin cost for them and that the customers would pay anyway (ie they had a captive market they couldn't be bothered to help out). I bet they've been willing to do the admin to cut down their VAT bill though!Fortunately there are many far better places in Dorset.

Good food, great atmosphere, staff polite and very welcoming, brilliant setting great for families thoroughly recommend

We went twice and both times had to wait well over an hour for our food. The food was good but having to get up and ask where it was, was annoying. The first night was a saturday so could understand it was slow. The second was on a tuesday. They weren't doing the eat out scheme but by that point we were hungry and it was quiet so placed order. Again an hours wait. With children it's not great. Wouldn't go again.

We visited a few times during the week, didn't have food but were always made to feel welcome. Great little playground round the back and big beer garden for us and the little ones to enjoy. Clean and made covid safe with clear spacing and one - way system.
