Tasty and perfectly cooked Sunday lunch/roasts with excellent starters and desserts. The service was superb, all of the waitresses very pleasant and personable. Great quality food at a reasonable price.

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting family in the area. Bed and breakfast was very good, clean, well presented ensuite room. Room 2, no noise from the pub below at all. The breakfast was superb. We ate in the restaurant twice for dinner, there's a good choice of specials and a great selection of pub meals. Very good quality of food throughout our stay. Highlight of the George though has to be the great staff, everyone friendly and professional, Jack was an excellent host. Can't recommend enough.

I booked a table to celebrate our anniversary, having met there 10 years ago. When we got there we were warmly welcomed and shown to a table that had ‘happy anniversary’ bunting over it, the young staff were excited for us and took photos which was sweet. Then we got the food, I was just hoping for decent pub grub, it we were both knocked out by the quality of the food and the skills of the chef. Thank you very much to everyone at the George for making it such a special evening!

We stayed for 2 nights B+B and also ate dinner here on one of the nights. Altogether it was very enjoyable, made more so by our host Helen, who was so very welcoming and warm. All the staff were helpful. It's a very nice, traditional pub great for drinks, but the food here is exceptional and highly recommended. Our breakfasts were of the highest standard I've had in a long time, all freshly cooked to order of course, and a proper English with all the trimmings including black pudding. Our room was comfortable with extra touches like water and tissues that make it so much nicer. The pub is siutated on a busy road, so if like me you're used to quiet surroundings at night then do bring your earplugs! I hate using them but my second night's sleep was much better when I did.

We live fairly locally but had never been to the George before. The outside is pretty with colourful hanging baskets. We went on a very hot Friday and were warmly welcomed by the landlady who showed us out to the courtyard garden as we had our dog with us. The other staff were also friendly. The menu choice was good for both hot and cold food. We had a tuna mayo sandwich and a fish goujon ciabatta which both came with some chips and salad garnish. We will definitely go back for a main meal at some point in the future.

Warm welcome, lovely setting and delicious food. The host made a point of checking on all the tables and couldn't have made us feel more welcomed. Food was delicious but our daughter's seabass was the winner by far. Multiple gluten free options that all sounded great. A winner, we'll be back

We had driven down from Scotland and still had further to travel. We dropped in on the off chance we could have some food to help us on our way. It was the evening of bank holiday Friday and unsurprisingly it was fully booked. Thankfully, we were found a table and served a quick meal. The goat cheese tart was especially delicious.

We first called into the George in October this year for lunch on the way to a family holiday on the south coast. The welcome we got on that occasion was so memorable and the food so good that we thought we would try and book a Christmas meal. What a fantastic choice we made. Helen and the team went overboard to accommodate us, from the minute we walked through the door we felt so welcome. The meal itself was fantastic. We cannot comment negatively about anything except the brussels sprouts but then its a standard Christmas joke. In reality the sprouts were great. The locals were friendly and we had a good banter after our meal. My wife commented "dont tell my mum but that is probably the best christmas dinner ive ever had" and the roasties were " to die for" The ambience of the George is perfect, music you can hear if you hear a special song but not so loud that you have to raise your voice to hold a conversation. Accomodation is spacious and comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. I must also mention the breakfast. Again, up there with the best we've had. It takes a special team to make a pub special and the George has got that one spot on. We look forward to visiting again soon Jim & Deb

The George was warm and welcoming and the staff were very helpful. We chose two courses from the Wednesday fixed price menu at £17.70 per head which we thought was good value for money. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed our meal. The choice of ale was limited but my husband had Guinness which was fine and I had a half of a locally brewed beer. When the bill arrived it was for over £65 and I could see the mistake immediately as we had been charged for the 2 fixed price two-course meals plus another 2 starters. I politely said that I thought the bill was wrong at which point it was recalculated. I have to say I found two things really disappointing - the chap behind the bar was very offhand about making a mistake with the bill and offered no apology at all. I also think Guinness at £6 a pint is very pricey...we don't pay that in London pubs.

A lot of the items on the menu they did not have so had to change our original orders, what we got was good, dessert was lovely but coffee they said they had alternative milk but it was out of date by 2 weeks so in the end did not go with the coffee. The wait was unacceptable, no apology they were not busy but took a while for the food to arrive, we stayed as was chatting with family and they had recommended this pub so felt bad.

Our first visit to this cosy pub, the menu is extensive with all the usual pub favourites plus some ambitious-sounding specials. I chose the pan-fried venison which was amazing....tender, pink venison in a delicious sauce with bacon lardons, baby onions and mushrooms with dauphinoise potatoes....a huge helping but just couldn't resist eating it all!! Two of us had the duck breast on a bed of bubble and squeak, which was also yummy. These two dishes alone prove that the chef is way above average. The young staff were very attentive, quick and efficient which is often a rarity these days. So all in all a successful night out...just a shame that it was so damn hot that evening...we were anxious to get out and cool down. Will definitely return on a winter's evening and hope that the venison is still on the menu!

I hadn't been to this pub for at least 10 years...it may be 12...or even 15!. That clock was reset to zero last night when a group of us went there for dinner. And what a lovely experience it was, a few regulars, a decent number of diners for a Thursday night...and the bunch I was with. I'd say simple, reasonable priced pub grub but, there was another menu that I didn't see until after I'd ordered my food...I'll order off that menu next time ('cause those dishes looked even more fab)...Donyatt, I promise I won't leave it 10 years before my next visit!

The food was as you would expect from a village pub, if not a little unambitious with specials. The pub, for us was too brightly lit which didnt impart the ambience of an English pub and our table was positioned adjacent to the open kitchen door which also detracted from the general feeling of wellbeing. The food was fine and the staff efficient and polite.

Having not really left their house for the last 18 months they wanted to go out to celebrate their 60 years married they felt totally spoilt and thoroughly enjoyed their meals. A huge thanks to the team for arranging photos of them and allowing flowers to be delivered for the table, as a family we are extremely grateful. Strongly recommend the food and hospitality.

A mixed bag really. We had read reviews so were confident in having a good experience.Staff were polite, we were shown into the back of the restaurant which was clearly the area for 'non' locals, the front bar area being a bit nicer.Our starter was laughable, we ordered halloumi chips with dip. When it arrived (we were sharing) we counted 6 chips! This worked out at approx. £1.10 per chip.My main course was okay, burger was fresh and cooked well, chips were overcooked but okay. My wife's main course of chicken was under cooked but was rectified quickly and was very tasty.We didn't like the way it was strongly suggested when paying that we should tip for the hard working staff while the card machine was thrust in front of my wife. We would have left a tip but the minimum tip we were able to give was 10% on the card machine, this wasn't explained when putting us on the spot to leave a tip.Overall food was okay but certainly overpriced based on taste and quality.Pleasant staff in a a nice atmosphere though but please double the chips on your starter portion!

Went here for a meal out with friends and wanted it to be lovely but sadly wouldn’t and couldn’t recommend. Scampi tiny and chips huge and very uninspiring, and £6 for a small creme brûlée served with a HUGE spoon. The waiting staff all looked about fourteen, terrified or confused and no smiles, and got my friends order wrong so the meals came at different times. The dessert board was plonked down in between me and my friend so we had to peer over it. Manager seemed friendly, but please, train your staff or bring in experienced ones and cook decent chips.

Hadn't realised under new management and how much nicer the welcome was. As soon as we entered Helen welcomed us with a beaming smile and lovely words of welcome. It is one of the only pubs in the area apart from weatherspoons, that serve food on a Monday night. Rump steak cooked to perfection as ordered. Stilton sauce was a little runny for my liking but still extremely tasty. Delicious homemade onion rings. My friend had the gammon which was nearly as big as the plate but she was able to get a doggy bags. Superb syrup sponge pudding. Excellent attentive service and if we can get a table we will be back this Sunday to try out the roast dinner.

Table booked for 7pm, taking my lovely mum out for a treat. We're given a table off of the main bar area which was fine. However, felt we were forgotten about for most of the evening. Nice young lad took our initial order then no one came back to the table for over 2hours. Not offered more drinks or to see if food was OK. Waited an hour for our main course after our starters, no one offered us the sweet menu either. As we asked for the bill a lady apologised for"forgetting about us". Didn't want to spoil the evening by complaining, as this was for my mum. We appreciated being offered a table with only 2 days notice but if it was to be a problem then I would have booked somewhere else. Food was good, company great but service below average. What a shame as our many other visits to this pub have always been excellent.Happy Christmas.

Being a Vegetarian and trying to find a Sunday Roast Dinner that involved roast potatoes, vegetables, a meat substitute and a vegetarian friendly gravy seems to be virtually impossible. I spent a week phoning around locally to find a place to book. Every pub/restaurant I phoned offered a vegetarian meal but pretty much either a vegetable lasagna or something equally uninteresting. They must think Vegetarian’s don’t like a good old roast dinner too! However, I finally phoned The George at Donyatt. Spoke to the landlady, explained what we were looking for and pretty much nothing was too much trouble. So, she offered to use the Vegan burger off of their normal weekly menu (or vegetarian sausages if we preferred) as the meat replacement and to make a veggie gravy! Oh my God, it was amazing! And yet so difficult to find. So Vegetarian’s and Vegan’s if you want a flipping gurt lush roast dinner, give them a call and speak to the Landlady who is awesome. I will be back!

Lovely traditional pub with helpful service however was extremely disappointed with food as I ordered my steak medium rare and it came out still alive on the plate the other steak we ordered was asked to be medium also came out rare one was sent back for it to be return with the chips clearly been dumped back in the fryer resulting in no potato and just lumps of fat which completely but my partner of his food!!

We have been to this place a few times in recent weeks and the food is always very good but last evening we ordered a special of halibut, samphire and buttery, garlicy potatoes ....... absolutely delicious......beautiful fresh fish, expertly cooked.....food here is always well presented. We were very well looked after by a very nice and friendly lady. We've previously eaten here at lunchtime when it is generally very busy and we were lucky to have a table last evening, so know in future to book. Excellent......thank you.

I returned to this lovely village pub to have another steak meal, the reason being, the last one I had was so brilliant, that I wanted to see if they could do it again.

The George has established itself for providing first class meals. So we went along to sample their fare last Thursday having booked a table for lunch. Place almost full. Good sign. Great choice on the menu and specials' board. Was a little apprehensive at the many tables where people still seemed to be waiting. And waiting, And waiting. We were to join the queue. Over 20 minutes before our orders were taken. The food when it eventually arrived was excellent.

An average thursday, tried The George as heard under new ownership. Previously food had been great but knows it's step up..great choice, excellent value . They were turning people away as was fully booked ( not helped by two people hogging a table for 6).

I live in London and was taken to The George by relatives. Lots of interesting things to choose from on the menu and all the different things which we chose were well cooked and delicious. Friendly staff and good prices.

The George has changed hands several times in the past few years so the experience of dining there has been very variable. However, the present incumbents have really got to grips with what is needed in the area. Weekday lunches are good, with a special (cheaper) menu but with other, more normal options available. Evening meals are from an extensive, printed menu including the usual pub classics and "favourites" along with vegan and vegetarian options. There is also a comprehensive specials board. The quality is so good and the prices so reasonable, one needs to book a table for evening meals even in midweek! Great, friendly staff. A real find!

I have a few benchmarks for assessing pubs or restaurants - one of these is the quality of the chips. I ordered the haddock goujons with chips and mushy peas whilst my friends had the excellent roast. It is some years since I have had chips as good as these - what a delight. I don't know how they are done, something about double or triple fried I believe. It has always been a mystery to me why more establishments don't take this trouble, it can make or break a good meal. And the goujons were delicious too!

Visited The George for the first time yesterday with friends. We were made very welcome, served very efficiently, the food was so good that not a morsel was left. Four of us chose the two course light lunch, options were good, portions generous and the price very reasonable. All in a very relaxed atmosphere.

What a gem of a place, a lovely English Country Pub, with equally good rooms, and first class food. We stayed 3 nights for bed and breakfast, and also had 3 exceptional evening meals, Venison, Hake and Ribeye steak, all cooked to perfection. We fully recommend The George, and all the staff, we had a great stay. Steven and Helen have done a great job in the last 12 months since taking over. Thanks if things are quiet ask Helen to play the piano, her grandmothers favourite song, really funny or if you prefer a bit of classical, ask for Debussy’s Clair de Lune. Fantastic.

Called in on the way back from the coast. Friendly welcome, couple of good real ales and extensive menu. We all went for the burgers which were excellent. See you on our next trip.

We are local to the area and have heard good things about this pub so thought we would try it for some lunch. We parked in the car park out the back and were swiftly told rudely by someone from the kitchen to move our car back and 'maybe to the side a little' with horrendous tone. The car park was not busy (only 3 other cars) and did not have designated spaces. We did as asked and went to get into the car when the person from the kitchen came out again and yelled 'jesus' at us. Not a great first impression and not something we stand for in this business. We decided we no longer wanted to lunch here. I went in and told a lovely lady behind the bar what we had experienced and the implications this had, in this case a loss of customers. She was very apologetic and said she would tackle the issue which was much better service! Very disappointed by this.

We have visited this pub twice and could not fault the food. There is a good choice for all tastes and it is very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly as are the owners.

Booked for dinner but on arrival, they thought we had booked for buffet, fortunately they had a table for us within a short time so we had a pre-dinner drink in the bar, which is fabulous and then went for a lovely meal in the Bistro, it is a small and intimate restaurant and quite modern and food is served on hot rocks, which you cook yourself to your own taste. Nice concept and food was really lovely BUT find that it gets pretty smoky when it is very busy. This is not a unique concept to us and it was a very nice change. Service was attentive and good and wine selection is great. Little pub at the Langport Arms is friendly and wonderful for pre or post drinks too.

What a delightful place to stay at. We stayed for a couple of nights to visit the surrounding area and had the friendliest welcome and comfortable stay. James, the waiter in the evening, was a credit to them. He helped you choose what to eat and was attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding, especially the fish dishes. The breakfast was the best we have ever had and was cooked to order with local produce. Cannot wait to return.

The chip shop has been closed for a while due to staff going on holiday. Last night we very much enjoyed our chips, chicken and curry sauce.
