The George at Backwell in North Somerset

What a pub. The staff are incredible (owners I don't know how much you are paying them but you should give them a pay rise). Such friendly and helpful staff. A very impressive looking pub. The game crisps are great. The garden is good with cushions and blankets provided, a few chairs with arms would be appreciated by me as it helps those with difficulties. The seating just in the entrance was very good. Handy for the bus. We will be back. Don't suppose you can demolish the houses at the back? It would provide a great view.

Fantastic meal for my dad's 70th. Would recommend the dungeon.

We haven't been to The George for years, however, following such good reports we decided to go for a family meal. It didn't disappoint, pub, bar and garden are great and we all had a fantastic meal! The staff were great too! Went back to the George last night for a small family birthday celebration. Once again the staff were fantastic, the food was really good, can personally recommend the Wild mushroom and bourguignon pie! Also, their initiatives with working with local food businesses is brilliant!

I only stayed one night but I had a lovely room, very clean, nicely decorated and a very roomy bathroom! There was even a little welcome gift of homemade cookies hanging on the door which were incredibly delicious! Great location if you need to get to the airport. There's a sort of "do-it-yourself" breakfast which is available all through the night if you have an early flight.

First time stay at the George, in Backwell .... it certainly won't be our last. Cannot recommend it highly enough ... superb bedroom, top quality tea and coffee provided.. free cookies arriving mid afternoon were a delight!!! Thank you for those!!! All bedding, towels, shower gels etc good quality and spotless and thank you lovely staff for making us so very welcome!!!

The George was aquired by new managemet 8 months ago and they have returned this lovely pub to its former glory. The food and drinks are excellent with a wide range, the staff are efficiant and welcoming, and there is a wonderful ambience. Most highly recomended.

Top pub with fantastic service and a lovely patio area at the back for drinks in the sun. The beef sunday roast was excellent - you can tell that high quality ingredients are used. Cauliflower cheese was standout and the “proper” sticky toffee pudding was one of the best I’ve ever had. Keep up the great food and hospitality - we will be back!

Great meal. Friendly service. Super atmosphere.

What a great pub!! The food is just superb, lots of choice with vegan & veggie options. Fab pub atmosphere, really friendly & the price was excellent

Fantastic service and really good food . Would highly recommend . 2 of our party were late arriving due to traffic/ weather issues, but nothing was too much trouble. Korean chicken burger was excellent .

Great place, great atmosphere, great food. 5 star

Lovely visit to Bristol from Cornwall.

Be aware of additional charges. The food is excellent and the service is friendly. However, when I last had Sunday lunch, I was charged extra for a very small "jug" of gravy. The amount of gravy served on the plate is minimal. I like to have gravy in my yorkshire, so I ordered extra. I wasn't told of the additional charge and didn't notice until after I had settled the bill. The charges are on the high side for Sunday lunch. A charge of £1.50 really is mean, especially as the serving was so minimal.

Great pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord

As is always the case the team here are so welcoming.

Rooms comfy and tastefully decorate. Food delicious. Staff friendly and efficient

Food was excellent. However, on our only two visits in the last year (both in the last month) the service has been disappointing. Not at all welcoming or friendly. Just perfunctory.

Had the pleasure of staying here mid-week on business. Staff warm and friendly, nothing was any trouble (even after managing to lock myself out!). Stayed in the ‘Pudding & Pie’ room, comfortable bed, wonderful amenities, fantastic room. Great menu, lots of variety and wonderful service. Lots of little touches - had the delight of some home made warm chocolate chip cookies upon arrival. They made me so welcome I’m back next week. Absolutely 5*

Since writing my original post we've revisited the George a few times, most lately yesterday evening. On each of these occasions the food has always been super tasty and perfectly portioned. However, the service is really not good - the staff didn't seem happy or bothered and at times, quite surly. On balance, whilst the meal was excellent, we did leave feeling disappointed. Would be great if you could get some decent zero alcohol options too...Guinness Zero, Goram IPA, Clear Head, Thatchers Zero would all be good additions. Previously...Fabulous tasty meal on a Thursday evening. The belly pork in particular was divine with a good pint of Landlord! Not cheap but a lovely meal and excellent service.

We had a wonderful meal at The George last night. The food was fabulous. We ate from the Supper Club menu which was very good value for money. The pub is very cosy. The staff very attentive. Would recommened to every one.

Very friendly and helpful staff, room was brilliant, very clean and nice, bed and quilt were amazing, breakfast was very nice, would recommend to anyone,.👏👏

Went to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. It was very good, unfortunately there was no steak available however all the food we did order was very good

Country gastropub with pleasant rooms we had a lovely meal comfy bed there is a logburner in the bar makes it very cosy 10 minutes from Bristol airport 🛫

This place is a little bit special... Huge venue, sending out some beautiful looking food from the kitchen... Impeccably clean throughout with manicured gardens and stunning rooms... This is surely a jewel in the Punch Taverns crown. Came here to complete some work today, James and the staff were extremely welcoming... Thank you 🙂 Rooms of this calibre and comfort from as little as £67 inc breakfast items toast, drinks and cereal (I'm told they are not servicing hot breakfasts currently but this may change so best to ask) This place is an absolute must if visiting or staying to fly out ect... 🙂

Wonderful food choice and cooked and served perfectly. Very helpful and efficient staff and just a great place for a get together

We have had many meals and nights out at the George over the years Tonight was the poorest service and meal I’ve ever had My lamb plate was cold and we waited too long for it to arrive. My friends had finished their meal before my second attempt was delivered. We ordered sweets and we had to ask twice to chase them up. Coffee was delivered but finished before the mini puds arrived. In the end we gave up and asked for the bill The staff were lovely and apologised but as I told them - lovely to have an apology but not their fault. I wanted to talk to the manager to explain why we were unhappy but despite assurance you would appear - we could wait no longer and drove home I think - given the problems one of you should have appeared at table - not leave staff to do it for you Sadly - we will cross The George off our list as a local diner after this experience

Great atmosphere and great food! Staff were great and very polite. Very clean, lovely venue

All staff were very friendly and welcoming. The choice of food catered for our various needs e.g. gluten free and vegan as well as meat eaters. All the meals were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

Great place with really great food. The staff were all super friendly and efficient. Pus it is a dog-friendly pub. I really recommend it. It is a warm, cost and nicely decorated place with lovely atmosphere.

Fantastic food, friendly service and great menu choices. We had a very mixed party of eaters including vegan requirements. There were plenty of choices for everyone for all courses but most of us choose the roast dinner. FANTASTIC! Everyone very pleased with their meals. Service was perfect and done with a smile. The owners are wonderful and make everyone feel very welcome.

Lovely pub with very friendly staff. Expensive drinks but the food was lovely. Just one thing which seems to be happening in more and more eating venues was the American style 10% gratuity payment added to the bill!? By adding this cost without the initial agreement of the customer, is designed to make it just too embarrassing to challenge when paying! I personally would rather leave a cash tip for the staff if they serve you well! So basically add on 10% when you look at the advertised prices in this pub!

Lovely place to stay before we travel to Lisbon tomorrow. We have early flights from Bristol airport. Our welcome when we first arrived was first class. Our bedroom is great. Our evening meal in the pub downstairs was first class and the Supper Club deal is really good. The food and presentation was superb and the service we received from everyone was absolutely fantastic.

Great food and beautiful restaurant

If travelling from.bristol airport, highly recommend! Lovely rooms, lovely cosy pub, great food.

Fitted us in at the last moment. Goid food.

I can’t recommend The George highly enough for their outstanding food and drink and also the exemplary staff. The atmosphere was great too and I guess a change of management must have occurred as you can quite clearly see that attention to detail has improved greatly since I last had a meal there. I thought the pumpkins were a lovely touch along with a “what’s on” board highlighting forthcoming events! A great place to have a drink by the cosy open fire or a really decent meal in the restaurant!

Stayed on Friday I was staying alone and the managers James and padriag made me feel so welcome and so did there staff they made an effort to chat to me, I had a really nice tasty meal the chicken and ham hock pie it was delicious even the locals were nice such a friendly place to stay especially me being on my own, my room was lovely so comfortable and very clean I would most definitely go back again and they have a lovely puppy sheep dog who is everybody’s friend and so well behaved, amazing place hard to find a good traditional local pub anymore 😃

Had Sunday lunch with family . The pub was very busy but the service and food were excellent. After a few years in the doldrums the George is finally back thanks to the new managers. Also Tir na nòg the resident dog! Woukd definitely recommend.

Warm cozy venue. Decent food. Ale selection could do with improving.

We stayed here overnight previously & l was ok .Very close to airport and good value . This time it was amazing.We had a very warm welcome from Tommy .He showed us to our room explained the arrangements for breakfast.He also booked a table for us for dinner . Dinner was lovely can recommend the Pies . We were served by Meredith who was very friendly & professional. Our room was very clean with everything you need .Big fluffy white towels , great collection of teas & homemade cookies . The George is fabulous .We have booked to return in December with friends. Thank you to all the staff. Especially Tommy & Meredith

In my last review a couple of months ago we only stayed at the George but did not eat, this time we booked the private dining room for a family event and they did not disappoint. Thank you gents for making what could be a difficult day into a seamless, professional, friendly affair which was very much appreciated by all. The food was delicious, well cooked and served beautifully. Our second overnight stay and the accommodation did not disappoint either, just wish I had time to enjoy the stand alone bath which looked fab.

Stayed overnight here before an early morning flight. Food was delicious, staff were very friendly and attentive. Special mention to James who was lovely

Just eaten at the George fab food , cosy atmosphere and great service, we will be back !

We ate at this gastro-pub and there was good service and a lovely, fluffy pub dog. Sit in the garden if you like violin music through speakers (though this wasn't to my taste).

Excellent meal and service. Friendly, helpful staff with a nice buzz in the pub.

Perfect for Bristol Airport, and very lovely too

Went with my sister who lives in the village for lunch... service amazing, food was yummy and the new people who have taken over are lovely! They take there time talking to customers . Def recommend we will be back ! ..... ohh the pub dog is so cute .

Excellent food and excellent service from super team made for a thoroughly enjoyable family gathering. Many thanks to all. Dog friendly too.

We stayed at The George for one night. Would definitely recommend and will be staying again. Super dog friendly!! Staff and manager were excellent. When we arrived our room should have been a twin but was a double but they were happy to change it. Comfy room, special teas and cookies were a lovely touch. The menu is good and the food excellent 😋 Can't recommend enough!

First of all what a great welcome. Staff great food was brill. Had my sons bday evening there for dinner. Can recomend chiken with white wine sauce pasta. The managers james and podrig were the niced chaps and my 3 children loved the new pub dog. Stayed for 3 nights. Brill,brill,brill. Mark byrne and family. Will def go back.xxx

Great location near Bristol and Portishead. George themed rooms are fantastic, comfy beds, really clean and great food on an evening. Simple and easy check in / out.

We stayed in the George for a night the staff and the owner ware top class. The food was outstanding. It was a pleasure to stay here before our flight. The place is dog friendly and they had a beautiful dog called Tit Na Nog

Amazing food & the best service ever! Phoebe was absolutely the best...we had such a great night...can't recommend this place enough!

Exceptional Sunday roast dinner. Surprised this place is not more packed on a Sunday as their roasts are exquisite. James provides exceptional service. The roast chicken with stuffing was cooked just right and came with a large Yorkshire pudding and exceptionally tasty leek with onions and cheesy sauce. The cauliflower cheese side dish, while a small serving was very good. Service is exceptional. Highly recommend for Sunday lunch.

The member of staff at the bar was unprofessional and very rude man!. Food was overpriced,not as described on menu.

We had a lovely lunch today. Food from the lunch menu was delicious 😋. The pub had a welcoming feel with excellent, friendly service. We will be back.

Unfortunately we did not eat at The George on this occasion but we did get to stay in the Clooney Room which was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The home baked biscuits on the door when we got back late was a lovely touch and much appreciated. The gentlemen who now own the premises could not have been more welcoming and hospitable, we will definitely stay again soon.

I recently dined at The George at Backwell near Bristol and, I must admit, my experience was mixed. The place has a certain charm that seems to captivate the locals, but I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed. Firstly, The George has an air of sophistication that can come off as a bit pretentious. The decor is certainly stylish, but it feels like they might be trying a bit too hard to impress. It lacks the warm, welcoming atmosphere that I prefer in a classic, English establishment. The service, while polite, felt somewhat distant. The staff were professional, but I sensed a lack of genuine warmth and hospitality. It seemed more about maintaining a certain image rather than making guests feel truly comfortable. When it comes to the food, the menu is quite ambitious with a range of dishes that sound enticing. Some of the items I tried were enjoyable, but others missed the mark. The focus on presentation sometimes overshadowed the actual flavors, leading to a meal that didn't quite justify the high prices. Speaking of prices, dining at The George is not a budget-friendly experience. The cost is quite steep, and while some might argue it's worth it for the atmosphere and culinary ambition, I personally found it a bit too much for what was delivered. Despite my reservations, it's clear that The George has a loyal local following. There must be a certain appeal that resonates with the community, even if it didn't fully resonate with me. In summary, The George at Backwell is a place that certainly has its admirers, and I can see why it might appeal to some. However, for me, the combination of high costs and a somewhat pretentious vibe means I’m unlikely to return. It’s worth a visit if you’re curious, but keep in mind that it might not be to everyone’s taste.

Very nice room and very good food. The welcome is top notch.

Accidently booked another hotel for the wrong date, phoned here the same day they luckily had a room available. The reception at the bar was excellent. They showed us to our rooms. Loved the room and the bed. Even received fresh warm cookies. And a continental breakfast to take with us to the airport at 4am. I highly recommend this hotel/Inn 5* in my opinion.

Arrived after dinner on a Saturday evening yet the chef still put together a simple dinner of chicken Terrine, piccalilli pickles and fresh bread and a smoked salmon, capers and cress also with bread. Washed down with an Australian Chardonnay. Tasty, fresh and made with skill. The George Inn is handy to Bristol, Bristol airport and Southwest England. Great food and great accomodation at a price lower than the big chains.

Attractive surroundings,plenty seating outside.Elaborate menu,prices reflected this.

Good mix of seating areas inside and outside. Good range of beers.

Stayed here before an early flight. Really nice rooms and very friendly and helpful staff

A lovely pub we came across before our flight from Bristol Airport. Staff were attentive and kind, atmosphere was good. A very good menu option and food was delicious and you can definitely tell it’s homemade! Nice area and excellent interior. Would recommend to anyone ☺️

Great food and a wide selection if locally-brewed beer on tap..!

Amazing welcome at The George from James and Padraig. We stayed two nights (booked 6 rooms as our group were playing at Glastonbury which is only 50 min drive) and the George was perfect for us. You can easily get the bus ( goes every 15 mins and only £2 single) outside George into Bristol which is worth a visit too! Food at The George was outstanding and decor and overall feel was just right, fantastic outdoor & indoor seating areas, would recommend and will hope to visit again! Thanks

Stayed last night . We had early flights out of Bristol airport . Stairs , are narrow steep and spirally . If you have mobility issue’s this place is not for you . While staff helped us up with our suitcases , getting them down at 3am for an early flight , was a nightmare . Food , a very average burger with a tiny portion of chips £16:50 . Then my wife had a Sundae which was supposed to be coconut nut ice cream , cherries and waffle . What actually turned up was vanilla ice cream , with ice crystals and some rather sorry cherries a strawberry cut in half on top . Harvester looks good compared to this . It went back . The room was small airless and had a very noisy mobile aircon unit in it . Not a great nights sleep . The toilet/ wet room . Don’t plan on going to the loo after you have showered , not well thought out . Will we return , no .

Bit of a shocker when it comes to food to be honest

New Managers in the last 3 weeks. Yesterday was a great evening. Encouraged by the offer of a free drink, the pub was packed with everyone enjoying themselves. They also produced very tasty free bar snacks. This is all very encouraging, and I think we, at last, "have our George back" after the major problems of the last few years. Probably best to ignore reviews dated before early June, as they will refer to the era before these new managers. Good luck to James & Padraig. We hope all goes well from now. Robin Lambert.

Not what it used to be. Lunch was really overpriced for the poor standard of food. Fish finger sandwich was awful. Bread/toast was charred, lettuce brown and really not nice. Service not great either.

The pub itself is lovely, really nicely decorated and welcoming. It was moderately busy and the atmosphere was good. We popped in for dinner at 19:45 on Friday night and were asked to order as quickly as possible as “the chefs didn’t want to work” so we ordered straight away at the bar. I have to say for £16, my chicken burger was absolutely terrible. I’ve attached a photo - a dry bun, 1 bit of deep fried chicken and a little bit of pickled red cabbage, clearly out of a jar, which had been described as ‘pickled cabbage slaw’ on the menu but was so vinegary. Not even a little bit of lettuce, and the smallest dollop of BBQ sauce which was also incredibly vinegary. Honestly terrible food for that price. A McDonalds chicken burger would have about 100x more love and care put into it, which is really saying something. Im more than happy to pay £16 for a burger - every business has to make money and the overheads in hospitality are massive - but I do expect it to be at least half decent.

A very good pub just a few minutes away from the Bristol Airport were we stayed one night due to a very early flight. Good atmosphere-an old pub with fireplace, large armchairs and cozy forniture. Good service and good food, although they were run out of some of the listed food in the menu. We ended up with fish and chips. Good rooms as well, clean and cozy but tiny. The pub has also a very nice garden with plenty of seats. I recommend.

Popped in for Sunday Lunch. It was really good, perfectly cooked beef and loads of well cooked veg. The new landlord and landlady were very welcoming - I wish them every success. ** Update ** The pub has changed hands, again. We popped in for a meal last week. The staff were brilliant, polite and seemed on the ball. However, the food was *awful* - really bland and much simpler / basic than you'd expect from somewhere like this. We will not be going back.

Stopped for food on the way to Bristol airport. Friendly service and home cooked food, really tasty. Lovely location and spacious. Would happily return.

We arrived on a Sunday before an early flight Monday. We were told when we went to the bar that they didn't serve food on a Sunday evening and had tried to contact us. We later saw that they had called the day before (while we were mid marriage ceremony) so we didn't pick it up, no email or any other calls. Although online it says they close 8/9 the owner locked up at 7, and I've never seen a pint of Guinness poured so badly in my life. The guy behind the bar was also rude and seemed like he wanted to be anywhere but there. The room was clean and tidy, relatively comfy bed. But that's about it.

What an absolute gem! We had a meal here with my in laws (not my favourite past time) but the food and service was so good it made it a nice day for all. David gave us exceptional service and the food was amazing from start to finish. Even my dog was welcome and provided water. There’s ample parking and a lovely outside area for sunny days. If you haven’t tried this place recently you don’t know what you’re missing. Definitely returning.

Nice old pub near Bristol Airport

What a complete shambIes. We decided to visit for dinner and a drink with our two young children, on our way to a friend's house. I went and ordered a gin and lemonade, the lady poured the gin then said "we don't have any ice" not a problem, she then informed me that the lemonade was off also. Great start, we asked if they were serving food. We were told 17.00 and the lady handed us some menus, so we decided to wait and play some games. After over an hour I went to order food and was informed they weren't serving until 18.00 now. This was too late for us, luckily we found somewhere else more organised to eat. The staff didn't sound like they had a clue what was going on.

I was thinking four star despite everything, but breakfast has now sealed my thoughts on two… Numerous issues with check in (only slightly late to be fair), terrible food, nobody really knew what they were doing, multiple broken things in the room… … then we went down to breakfast - see the photos. Nice looking coffee area, shame there was no milk. No cereals even, just toast, some juice, and soya milk that seemed curdled.

Very clean and well presented pub friendly staff and good service food was good but not exceptional worth a visit tho

We only went for lunch which is a fairly restricted menu but it was good food, well prepared and pleasantly served.

Great food and fantastic staff. Room was comfortable and Clare.

False advertising and a rip off Ordered the Roast chicken but, when it arrived, I asked where the stuffing and bread sauce was. The waiter said "I'll check with the chef" then returned and said "I know it says it on the menu but we don't do it." I asked again about the stuffing and he went off only to return and say the same thing. We were still charged full price despite them offering something on the menu that just isn't included. If they'd mentioned that they didn't have it when ordering, it would have been OK but they just didn't. Also they had no idea how to pour a Guinness.

We stopped in on spec. on the way to Bristol, looking for a meal. What a little gem. The service was excellent and just the right amount of friendly. We ordered the Trout and the Korean Chicken Burger and are happy to report that both were really rather good! REALLY rather good. In celebration we had a sweet. The Fruit Crumble...(to die for)...and the Proper Sticky Toffee Pudding...(I mustn't speak with my mouth full!). Do yourself a favour! Pop in if you get a chance. We will, at every chance!

Just popped in for a quick drink and bite to eat. Food was excellent and beautifully seasoned. Merlot was smooth too! Staff super friendly and just the right amount of attentiveness. Tal was polite and had a great energy. Pop in too and give the George a try!!

The sheets were clean and the bed allright - but I’m glad we only stayed for one night. The hotel seemed quite worn down and a bit sleacy.

Love comforting classic pub food and friendly staff

Weird. We got an email on the morning of our stay to take payment, then another email to say the pub is closed indefinitely and the key will be under a dog bowl by the back door. 1 star for service because there wasn't a soul there! Some bits of food had been left out plus an urn for hot drinks. This was in a side room/conservatory....the main doors to the pub were chained up and padlocked. The impression is that of a business that has been shut down/ building repossessed by the bank or something and existing b&b bookings had to be honoured.....all a bit strange. The room was basic but comfortable.

Disappointed with sunday lumch. Small portions and overpriced. profiteering! £23 roast beef with cauliflower cheese as an extra.

Stayed one night here after flying back from holiday. Approx 8min drive from the airport. I was phoned in advanced to inform me that the restaurant would be closed during my stay. Upon arrival meet by David, showed us to our lovely room and explained the emergency procedures if required. The double bed very comfortable, tea, coffee and biscuits supplied in room. David recommended a pub that was serving food that evening a few minutes drive up the road and we were not disappointed. Quiet comfortable night sleep, hot showers and lovely fluffy towels. Breakfast is as stated, fine for us and this was reflected in the price. Would definitely stay again in this hotel.

We had the best experience, we booked for 30 people for my Dad's 60th, they had never had a party for that many people but they went above and beyond for us. We had the best time, the food was great and well timed would definitely reccomend

Entered the bar shortage of bar staff, wine served in timbers no wine glasses. Sat down for a meal. Then had to go to bar for someone to come and take our order. Came with no menus. Then it took 40 minutes for food to arrive. . Meal arrived roast beef came as a steak joint very small. Not a lot of veg carrots and peas. They had run out of cabbage so offered us califlower cheese but very small portion, not enough for 4, 3 very small roast potatoes, thin gravy. Had then had to ask for dessert menu. Then again ask again for someone to take our order. The two servers were lovely. Desert was the best part of the meal. Very expensive for the portion of food. Went to the Congresbury arms the week before and had an amazing meal. Recommended

We've been visiting The George for many years, through the glory days when Anthony and his team ran an impeccable establishment, then through the dismal collapse in standards when Punch Taverns took over, and more recently the significant improvement in quality which saw us returning as regulars. But if the latest visit is any indication, things are on the slide again. When we arrived for Sunday lunch, we were told that a large party had been booked in, so we were put in the noisy family room at a corner table near the toilets and told what was not available on the menu (pretty much everything apart from the roast). Drinks arrived slowly, followed very soon afterwards by our meals. We both had beef. One of us found the beef so tough that we couldn't cut it, while mine was so rare that it was almost raw. I normally like my beef rare, but this was leaking blood all over the rest of the food, so we complained. First they cooked my beef for a bit longer but when I too found it hard to cut, we asked for replacements. The serving staff, who were extremely young and not the same staff who had been working there recently, were very nice and did what they could. They offered us complimentary drinks, but we'd only just received our drinks anyway, so we declined. The replacement meals were ok, but that's the best you can say. The beef - a single slice, more like a minute steak - was still tough, the roast potatoes were tiny , the carrots an absolutely microscopic portion, the gravy thin and watery. The rest of the plate was filled with a horrible mix of cabbage and peas which neither of us ate. The cauliflower cheese was good, but we paid £4 extra for this, on top of the £19 for the roast. At this point, we were left on our own. Staff came and went, taking orders at the next table. We and our abandoned meals were ignored. No one asked us whether we wanted desserts or coffee, which was probably just as well under the circumstances. I paid at the bar and we left. This is really not good enough. Eating out is very expensive these days, so it is reasonable to expect good quality. Some recent reviews on this site suggest that some customers are still having good experiences at The George, but the picture is one of inconsistency. Ultimately, it begins and ends with the food - if that's not up to scratch, people will stop visiting. On top of this though, there is a sense that the management doesn't really care very much about their customers - or about their junior staff, who shouldn't have been left to deal with our problem. As I said, we've been visiting The George regularly for many years but, sadly, we are unlikely to be back any time soon.

Came on Sunday for a roast dinner with my friends! We had an amazing meal, staff were lovely and helpful. I would highly recommend coming and I will be back soon.

A gem of a spot! Friendly staff. Food was delicious. I have also stayed in one of the rooms and it was very cosy and comfortable. Don't let the negative reviews fool you, sounds like they're trying to bring down a good thing here for whatever reason.

Came here for a roast on Sunday. The beef was beautifully tender and it came with all the trimmings! Staff are helpful and friendly. Would recommend!

Came here for Sunday lunch. Pre booked a table but ended up in the bar next to the toilets. No starters available or main courses only beef or chicken roast. Portion of beef for £19 consisted of one very fatty tough slice. When commented on the waiter just walked away saying it wasn't his problem. I asked that my comment was passed on to management but nobody came to apologise or discuss the matter further. Avoid.

Popped in from day out , greated by David who was charming, we ordered with him and then was shown to our table . Had the steak and ale pie, was delicious 😋. For pudding we had brownie, best brownie I've ever tasted. Lovely atmosphere, great food, we will be back!!

I come here for lunch on quite a regular basis but after todays experience I probably won’t return. Firstly I would agree with another review on here - the guy behind the bar on Thursday lunchtime was miserable, unhelpful and gave the impression he didn’t want to be there - his behaviour was verging on rude and dismissive. I have experienced similar from him before but thought he was just having a bad day but he’s like it all of the time it seems. The food is inconsistent in terms of quality and what you receive on your plate. The sausage and mustard mash sometimes comes with a bit of veg and sometimes doesn’t, sometimes two sausages and sometimes three. Even when I ask what it comes with “today” no one seems to know. Two sausages yesterday and no veg. The mash was totally overpowered with grain mustard - I couldn’t eat it. When I mentioned it nothing was said - no apology, nothing. Someone else’s ham egg and chips was a dismal looking plate of food - two eggs but accompanied by a lonely small piece of ham and a minuscule number of chips. It was embarrassing. I’m not sure who is managing this pub currently but if standards and bar staff don’t improve it will be another pub closure on that road I fear!
