The George and Pilgrim in Mendip

Whenever I come to Glastonbury, I always look forward to coming to the George and pilgrims for lunch however, this will change in the future. I don’t know if it’s the current financial situation or if there’s new owners, but to be quite frank, I was disgusted. Last year the soup was excellent, and a very hearty meal, this year, not so much. First we were given knives and forks, which would have been very interesting, but considering everything may have been a good idea , at least it would have lasted longer! as there was more volume in the coffee that I had before ordering, blink and you’d miss us dining! Literally gone in 30 second flat. We just sat staring at the small cup size “bowls” in front of us. The two slices of ciabatta bread were so thin I could see my dining partner through them and were about the length of my thumb, and I have small hands. Plus the price was £6.95 each!!! Seriously felt like I was treated like an idiot. It’s a damn good job I wasn’t really hungry, although my dining partner was and had to have a meal somewhere else. When we mentioned our dissatisfaction to one of the waiters, he said well, it is a starter… this wasn’t mentioned on the menu or chalk board, even so, you expect your starter to last for more than a minute! Even he agreed that it was small and for the waiter to say that surely that says something. Both of us said we will never eat here again. Such a shame

Trish and wren were the waitresses in the George and pilgrim hotel IT IS THEIR JOB TO BE NICE, regardless of what kind of day they're having. BUT IT IS ALSO THEIR JOB TO take down orders, pick up food, fetch drinks, do math, bus tables, juggle ten things in their head at once, all while putting on a charming happy show for a bunch of strangers Great work ladies from salli and dean

We have eaten at the G&P countless times over the years. This recent experience has been one of the worst. It’s “pub grub” ok, you don’t expect to pay the extortionate prices for very average pub grub food. Sunday lunch. Hubby had beef. Frozen Yorkshire, tiny portions, roast pots were hard and inedible. Mash was £5 extra. This average meal retailed at £21 l! I had veg burger, tiny portion of frozen chips, minuscule coleslaw, £18.99! I just want value for money, this is not!!

Decor very tired felt like the place needed a good scrub ,sad really as the building has so much potential. It didn't help as we kept getting a waft of sewage think the drains need attention ! Barman wouldn't let us stand at the bar which was strange !!!!!

Beautiful pub, beautiful food. Exceeded our expectations. Matt our waiter was lovely. We had the Sunday roast beef, pay for what you get, plenty of everything including a great vegetable selection which included cauliflower cheese. Great selection of desserts and a good drinks choice.

The food is amazing and the team are excellent. Excellent management Sam Dean and his crew. Excellent atmosphere and a great place to be to relax 😌 👌 😎 😀 x Love you all Sue Aldworth and Merry Christmas to you all xx

The decor is tired and a bit of a mixture as if it doesn't know if it wants to be c1642 or c1942. The service was good and the burgers that we ordered were okay. The seating was a little uncomfortable. We felt disappointed as we were expecting the interior to be in keeping with the exterior.

Visit this beautiful atmospheric building every time we visit Glastonbury, however the food is overpriced and tasteless. I had the tiniest bowl of roasted tomato soup which was like red water and a minute "loaf" plus butter the size of a 10 pence piece. Coffee was only just warm when I got it.

We visited this amazing historical building with friends for a Sunday roast. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was fully occupied and we were thankful for booking a table. The Sunday Roast offers a great selection and is a nice plate of food. Wonderful venue to visit if you are visiting Glastonbury.

Friend and I came in for a cup of tea after a chilly late afternoon exploring Glastonbury and decided to stay for an early supper. Food was fairly standard but well-made pub fare, and the chicken and sweet potato salad was an unexpected bonus. Bar staff were friendly and efficient, and atmosphere lovely. And what a lovely place to say that you've eaten in!

On the plus side it's a unique, ancient hostelry, service was excellent and it was pleasantly warm. But unfortunately our meals were not very good, the lamb tagline tasted strongly of tinned tomatoes and there wasn't much lamb and the potted pork was very strange. It seemed to have been made with mayonnaise rather than butter. Serving sizes were modest and the prices high.

We ordered and waited 45 minutes for our food, now you would expect if items needed to complete your order but unavailable would be advised during the wait so alternatives could be discussed? Nope.. orders delivered missing carrots , cauliflower cheese … when waiting staff asked where they were , advised, “ we’ve run out! The meals could have been hotter . Overall not impressed

Enjoyable visit for dinner. The service was excellent and our meal was absolutely delicious. I had the roasted tomato gnocchi and it was full of flavour. Would definitely recommend.

Exquisite building. Adored it. Huge room. We had dinner and breakfast. All good. The town is amazing

Great building. Great food but service was rubbish, one of the young waitresses was really rude so unless you sort the staff out will not be returning,shame as such a amazing building

I ordered salad with tofu £16.95 it took 50 mins to arrive 4 small strips tofu one avacado sliced sone lettuce a few seeds and a few tomatoes Total rip off

Promising by the reviews on here but our visit today was extremely poor. We found a table and our food and drink order was taken promptly being briefed that there was a 30 minute wait on food (which to us was acceptable) as the kitchen...

You get what you pay for. Feels a bit tatty but it adds to the charm. If you know Glastonbury you know what to expect and you will not be disappointed. Food was acceptable, service was strange, mainly the server was a bit over exposed....

We went to the lovely looking old pub for Sunday lunch, we got there at 3pm but they had already run out of beef and turkey, they advertise serving until 9pm, we had the pork belly, very nice but served with a small dish of...

I would love to review our breakfast but we never got it! Went for breakfast with my mum, on arriving there were a couple other tables in but not busy, we were looking for a table and we’re told by the waitress that there would...

This place was recommended by someone we spoke to regarding evening meal so my wife and I went to try it. We both ordered Sunday roast pork meals. What a disappointment. Potatoes were round balls and way over cooked as was the stuffing balls. My...

What a fantastic historic building! Absolutely beautiful surroundings in which to eat and the staff we encountered were all very friendly. Sadly I was very unimpressed by the food. My beef burger was gristly and I left most of it. My husband finished it rather...

Pro: Very atmospheric historic hotel, ask to stay in the Henry VIII room from where he supposedly watched the cathedral burn. Cons: No hot water during my overnight trip, uneven floor and steep stairs, bar staff weren’t chatty so I went elsewhere to eat and...

Took family over from Gernany here as it is an amazing historic building.The front bar is very nice ,we went to order food but was told we'll over an hours wait so ordered drinks.Just as we were about to leave,we were told they had no...

Lovely unusual place food was average and waitress was underdressed which I thought was very inappropriate she may as well wore a bikini

The food here was stunning. I can highly recommend the sea bass and the chocolate brownie. Staff were really friendly and considerate even though it was busy due to conference in town. Already booked to eat here again!

Lost count how many times I’ve stayed here.. my first choice when visiting. Great character and staff are so friendly and love a chat and bit of banter. Rooms are comfy and location great. Brilliant bar and food is always good.

Such a pity we didn't read reviews before we visited! I just don't understand how businesses continue in the same way when they are getting such bad reviews - I can only assume they don't bother to read them! Do not go here and waste...

Het was gezellig om in dit gebouw samen te eten. Het is meer dan 500 jaar oud en mooi gedecoreerd...

A great hotel right in the town centre. Quirky but very comfy bedrooms. Friendly staff, good range of beers and lovely food. Walked round the town and other hotels looked run down....this is the place to stay

We stayed overnight in Glastonbury and were recommended The George and Pilgrims by our host as serving a great Sunday roast. Not long after arrival we were asked to move from our table to another so a party of 6 could be accommodated, so.ething we...

We stayed here mid July, had a nice evening meal and drinks, enjoyed Glastonbury but when I asked for breakfast I was served by the rudest waitress, with brusk manner and made to feel like I was too much trouble, she sat me down and...

I had the Steak and Ale Pie and it was the worst I have had in years. The pastry was rock hard and literally shot across the table when I tried to cut into it. The green beans served to my wife were almost raw....

A lovely pub which when we visited a couple of months ago had a great menu with lots of locally sourced food. Unfortunately there is a new menu which is smaller and the food quality was not as good. I had the beef burger- well...

We’ve just spent the weekend at the George and Pilgrims hotel in Glastonbury. The hotel was exactly what we wanted as we were travelling with our dog. The rooms were clean , bed really comfortable and the room was stocked up with plenty of tea...

lovely historic building, slept one night in a four poster. room was huge, plenty of room and a nice big bath. the building is utterly wonderful. we had an evening meal which was delicious before heading up the tor for sunset. will be back

Very disappointed! Rooms very overpriced and shabby. They do not respond to letters regarding these comments ! Told they had parking... they don't it's pay and display public carpark a short walk away.

Suspect we dodged a bullet here. We had initially considered booking accommodation (bed and breakfast) at the George and Pilgrims but opted for somewhere else instead. Decided to visit for dinner to see what we had might have missed. What a miserable experience. We had...

Don't waste your money, terrible service, mediocre over priced food, felt as if we were in the way and not welcome. They gave our booked table to someone else so we were shoved in the corner. Would not recommend, there are much better places to...

Wish I'd read the reviews. Just had one of the worst roast dinners here which appeared in minutes and clearly has been hanging around a while Couldn't even cut the beef let alone eat it. No gravy given. 3 very dry roast potatoes that seemed...

This is the first place I head to whenever I am in Glastonbury. It’s a fascinating building with a unique atmosphere. There are little decorative details throughout including a cobbled stone floor, little nooks and seating areas, a beautiful stained glass window frontage and brilliant...

Lieu intéressant avec du caractère, fish and chips très correct, mais il n'y avait plus grand choix de plats quand...

Good choice of interesting dishes and a good choice of real ales. An interesting very old building with much character.

Always said. Not polite, service has to be done in their own way. I had to leave the papers on the counter as I had to take out my purse out. He eft my drink on the counter, I paid I had to put my...

Popped in here for lunch with Friends and had an enjoyable couple of hours. Foods a good section of hearty pub favourites with an array of beers and spirits on offer. Staff were friendly but not over familiar and had a very nice time.

Beautiful historic building, spoilt by hostile, moody staff and the worlds smallest cup of coffee costing just under £5. Very disappointed as the building has so much history and cosy corners.

Such a warm welcoming place to stay. Staff were lovely, felt at home the whole time ! very comfy bed we will be back! thanks

Beautiful building with a very atmospheric lighting in the main bar. Good place for a coffe or beer. I had a mulled cider which was rralky good and warming. The coffee was also very well made and good size cup. The staff were friendly and...

I was supposed to be staying at The Covenstead but got my dates wrong, important note I have autism so after being reduced to tears on the phone with The Covenstead I decided to stay (with lots of incouragement ) to stay somewhere else. Hence...

This is my favourite place to eat in Glastonbury. the old coaching inn is so beautiful and full of architectural history - even stories of ghosts. Staff are friendly, helpful and the food is great - They cater well for meat and fish eaters, unlike...

We were lucky to enjoy a lovely place,with lovely staff and food in Glastonbury, after a disappointing experience at a pub down the road. It is worth paying a visit.

Called in for a snack and drink. We had a roasted root vegetable soup with ciabatta which was delicious. Excellent fast service, friendly staff. Beautiful building with small intimate areas, beautiful windows. Recommended

Such a disappointing meal. Ordered Fish pie £17,50. Couldn't even eat it. No cheese., despite descriptiin on menu. Tiny amount of fish. A very small pudding plate of (smash?) potato. Really poor. Complained Offered a free coffee Eventually was asked to pay "half price". So...

I enjoyed the atmosphere, decor, service, it was so lovely and warm. Food was nice apart from the pork on the dirty fries, chewy & dry. I told the waiter but to be honest I still ate it & didn’t want to make a fuss....

Food was standard, serving drinks in plastic cups, please serve people with glass, we aren't children and it was the afternoon as well so the Carnival cannot be made as an excuse. The pub still has its amazing vibe and the staff were friendly, I...

This pub was recommended to us & to be honest from the exterior we might well not hv gone inside. Once inside though it’s full of charm & history. Decor is a bit “rough around the edges” but that just adds to the charm of...

Every single time I give this place another try for food, it's a farce. This time, the menu in the pub is totally different to the menu online. So having decided to eat here based on the options (and prices) online, and also to give...

Look Awful - Taste Awful . Managed to have refund - Manager said it wasn't up to my standard. OK. Just zoom into the picture. let's hope the there an improvement 👍

This is a very friendly place staff are great and helpful Many times spent enjoying good food and sometimes just sat in the sun having a refreshing drink in the beer garden. Menu is wide and caters for all. A very old building full of...

A wonderful old premises with a huge amount of history, well worth visiting even if just for a drink. It is a large place, the breakfast menu is pretty good and the beers are kept well.

Although the chicken burger did not state a spicy coating, it was very spicy, however the staff were very accommodating and changed this for a plain burger for me. The food and staff were excellent.

Fawlty Towers Experience We visited the pub 6 days ago. What a shambles. A table was booked for 8.00 pm, however they were short staffed and things went down hill from there. The waitress was really friendly and efficient but unfortunately they had run out...

I had wanted to stay here for years and wasn't disappointed, amazing place. If you want modern up-to-date decor and pristine luxury then this might not be for you but if you want history, quirkiness and atmosphere then it will be ! Our room 3...

A really nice pub in the centre of town with some good food options, including excellent chicken wings. The service was fast and there's a good selection of drinks.

Came in for a meal first weekend of September. Busy and short staffed but the waitress was very friendly and working hard. The setting of the restaurant is full of character but unfortunately the food is only average quality and overpriced. I understand prices have...

We always visit The George & Pilgrims every time we come to Glastonbury, I love the fact it's so full of history & character & no doubt resident ghosts! Generally we sit in the yard area on the cobblestones as we bring our pooch along...

Stopped here y for a bite to eat in the evening. Tables are limited but we were lucky to get one in the front of the building so we could watch people on the street outside through the old windows. It’s a fascinating layout inside...

We've enjoyed eating here in the past but, the quality of the food has changed & our last meal was disappointing... Two slices of processed turkey meat with x3 halves of small barely roasted potatoes, x1 thin carrot, x1 thin parsnip and no gravy +...

We came back again. The whole experience was just as good as last time. The Sunday lunch is well cooked and presented. Plenty of fresh vegetables and piping hot. Well done team. We love your food and service

Lovely place with lots of character, great food, good selection of drinks. Very dog friendly. The one thing that stopped it from being 5 stars was us overhearing one of the waiters continually complaining about other staff every time he walked by, he was talking...

This place looks amazing from outside and is just as fabulous inside. We stopped here for drinks, but after seeing the food that was being served we stopped for dinner. I had a butter chicken wrap with sweet potato fries, hubby had the chicken and...

We had wonderful food in the most beautiful historic surroundings there was a really warm welcome and even though it was busy the staff were really helpful and accommodating

Wonderful staff Amazing food in taste and presentation The staff were really helpful with our dietary needs even though they were quiet busy it wasn't a problem We will be returning ( hopefully soon)

As I said before we would be back but again we only came in for drinks and not food. The pub is amazing with the stained glass windows and stone walls, there is a great picture of The templars on the wall, if only it...

We booked the four poster Abbott Sewell room for 1 night and on arrival, the room and the building blew our minds. Sadly, the medieval 4 poster was kitted out with a medieval mattress....the right side had completely collapsed ...might as well have slept on...

We ate in the George and Pilgrims on all three nights we were in Glastonbury. Staff were hugely friendly and welcoming- and the food was served quickly and was delicious on every occasion. I particularly recommend the liqueur coffee!!

Enjoyed a few drinks in the bar, lovely historical building, cosy and atmospheric and the bar lady Frin served fantastic cocktails with a smile...well worth stopping in

We called in here for a mid day drink and it is charming with little tiny cubicles to sit all around the pub the food looked very good and we booked a taxi back to our hotel from here

Brilliant staff, beautiful pub, great beer. The staff were welcoming and very helpful - I am disabled and they went out of their way to help me.

Great pub, friendly & helpful staff with a good selection of food and drinks. Booked a table for 7 people ready and clean for he time booked. Great atmosphere in the pub, jubilee weekend. After a few drinks we ordered food. Food was well cooked...

Loved my stay. The staff were so helpful despite being incredibly busy. I love the whole feel of the room and the building. Want sterile and soulless? Go stay in a Premier Inn and that way all of us who appreciate the George and Pilgrim...

Very Happy Experience. We were a party of 20 originally that whittled down to 13 on the night but the service, care and attention to us was efficient, friendly and we were made to feel very welcome.

Lovely atmosphere, great service and the food was spot-on! We had an early supper - we hadn’t booked but we’re glad we got in early as it started filling up quite quickly.

Very Accommodating. Professional Service. Busy. Forgive the missed call back. Trust that it’s ok. Thank you.

Wonderful choice of drinks (we didn't eat). We stayed for 3 hours--even though it was busy, it was relaxing and just wonderful.

Wonderful old survival on Glastonbury’s main street, which has been going since around 1452. The antiquity is very clear with the stonework on the street facade and in the main bar area, which has a very pleasant seating for dining with open fire. Food was...

The George and Pilgrims is a fine pub ,with excellent beer and friendly staff. I am trying to find out if the pub window featured in an LP cover for a band called Spriguns, many years ago.

We had high hopes for this hotel and thought that it was the perfect place to have a one night stop over on our way back up to Oxfordshire from Cornwall. The bathroom was in need of repair and needed a good clean. The bath...

We were in Glastonbury over the Easter weekend. We ate lunch at The George and Pilgrim on three occasions. There was plenty of space and service was prompt. It was good for us as they had a good variety of vegetarian meals for my partner...

Overpriced and they didn’t microwave the lasagne properly. It cost £32 for a small steak and a handful of veg. The pub itself is amazing, the food was very mediocre

We were here on Saturday evening while staying in Glastonbury with my husband and brother and sister n law , didn't disappoint bread and olives and ham hock to start ,followed by spicy chicken burger for us ladies husband had the rib burger and brother...

We were visiting Glastonbury and went in here for lunch. Had a sandwich and a pint, then ended up going back for another drink later. Food was good, beer was excellent, and whole vibe was great. I could've stayed all day!

We had s&p squid to start followed by lasagne. Very good indeed. Good service and nice staff found us a great table in the Monks snug.

Wow! What an amazing little gem. The building was so full of character and it was lovely to read about it and it’s history. The food and staff were also very good, the service was excellent. Well worth a visit

We went out for dinner. Homemade GF scotch eggs, stuffed chicken and pan fried sea bass. We had dessert but we were stuffed! We will be back!

A nice old building with lots of character. I went there today and had one pint, which was reasonably priced for today's costs. The beer was quite nice. The barman was okay at first, but when I stood at the bar to drink - he...

Where do I start?! So at 2pm I get a phone call informing me that there is no hot water on our floor. They immediately offered a full refund, or could give some form of compensation. Because we'd been looking forward to our one night...

This building is fantastic as it’s full of character as a 15th century pub. Unfortunately the owners/managers have no imagination whatsoever. For example the Christmas decorations, if you can call them that, are sad and tacky. There’s something resembling Santa’s Grotto as you queue at...

We were seated quickly in this quirky pub /hotel. We were served by Sam (B) who looked after us extremely well and efficiently - the food especially the stews were excelment full of flavour (both meat and vegetarian) and the sticky toffee pudding was to...
