The George Grill in Rother

Very disappointed with the food and the service. Worst moules marinieres I ever had with no cream garlic sauce either. We wanted to buy a bottle of wine and were told that it was not possible and that the wine had to be bought in a carafe! Never heard his before!? Service was really bad, they really need to train the staff. The bill was £150 for 2 really not worth it. Will not visit again sadly.

I had a wonderful dinner, great service. The hosts and waiters were super friendly and very attentive. Felt pampered:) I had the wild rice with black garlic and mushrooms, it was spectacular. I also had the padron peppers for a starter.Would definetely recommend. Thank you:)

I read several mixed reviews on TripAdvisor, some of which were terrible, but i was excited to find out for myself. I am glad we did. The food was absolutely delicious. I love a small menu with limited options because it's usually a good sign that each dish is done very well. In this case, that would seem to be true. I loved every bite, and there were no disappointments (except it being socially unacceptable to lick your plate clean). The drinks were very grown up, not much fan fare, but equally as delicious as the food. The service was wonderful, attentive, fun, and friendly wait staff. Simple food done very well. Excellent visit.

Really good food and great local wines!

I brought my wife to stay at the George for her birthday and it was an unreal experience. The staff are amazing, especially Ruyman who is a legend. The food at the grill is amazing. Make sure you get the mussels. Awesome full English breakfast too. Highly recommend!

Overpriced food for the quality and the limited choices. The bread was dry, the fries were cold. Mussels were not cleaned properly. Slow service. Disappointed, we were expecting more from this venue.

Beautiful interior and superb food accompanied by best local and international wines. We had some fresh oysters, 2 glasses of Chapel Down and Gusbourne sparkling wines than lamb accompanied by Primitivo and Tempranillo. Perfect evening, shame we had to rush to catch our train.

This beautiful.old hotel has been a place I have loved for over 60 years. However I took my family for a meal there last night. The menu was very limited and expensive we struggled to find what we wanted from a choice of only 5 main courses. The food was mostly very nice but the service was slack and we waited a long time for a gin and tonic and longer for the food. Its very sad to say but I won't go back.

Excellent food, pleasant atmosphere and good service.

We had a great meal could not fault it.

Went for lunch I had a burger which was very nice, my friends not so lucky they ordered the club sandwich which was very dry with very cheap bread. Noticed someone else on another table also left the bread. We ordered the house wine my friend liked it so we googled it to find it only to discover it cost £7.99 we were charged £24 bearing in mind they get it wholesale that's an eye-watering mark up!

Excellent food location and service in the centre of Rye. I had a dinner with my girlfriend and I was pleasantly surprised how good the food and service was. Fantastic service and the dining area is very stylish and has excellent design. The menu is varied with so many choices for all different dietary requirements. The surf and turf was the same price as the separate gambas and steak mains added together and only came with 3 (albeit delicious) prawns. I suspect you may get more prawns if you ordered then separately. Great wine and cocktails as its part of the George In Rye which has a full bar. Highly recommended the Devon crab if its on the menu. Oysters are fresh and also delicious. I would recommend making a reservation to ensure you get a table.

Good solid meal. A touch on the expensive side for what is basically brasserie food outside of London but no complaints. General ambience good.

Four of us had a meal here and we all enjoyed it very much. Food was fabulous and the service was great (particularly Ben). We had a drink in the courtyard outside which was lovely. Recommend.

We had a lovely meal here on Saturday- the service is very good and nothing too much trouble. The peppered squid tasted delicious and was very fresh - the fish chowder is also extremely tasteful. Others had skate and steak - all very good. Wine list had good range both in selection and price. Lovely restaurant- would certainly return.

We ate as a table of 6 for a celebration dinner. The food, overall, was very good - many of us had lobster (either half or whole) and these were all seen to be rather good! A couple of us had the steak - which was perfect in my case - and one burger as a main which was a 'healthy portion' to say the least. Starters and deserts were all pretty good as well (cheese selection can be recommended!) and, overall, the bill was very good value for money and quality. What slightly took us by surprise - genuinely - was that at the start of the evening we decided on pre-dinner drinks in the bar. A few of the group decided that a cocktail would be nice and, not liking the selection on offer in the bar menu, asked for a Pina Colda "Sorry, we don't do Pina Colda cocktails" was the reply. Really....? Nor a Mojito.... Now, I can understand some of the more esoteric cocktails not being available, but those two? Probably THE most common cocktails for everyday drinking? Sorry, but that is a rather obvious 'tick' missing off the list there I'm afraid - though it didn't spoil the night too much overall - but something to be aware of beforehand!

Atmosphäre, Service und Speisenqualität sind spitze. Gute Weinkarte. Tip: Lobster . Frische, Qualität und Raffinesse.

Went to The George Grill for Saturday dinner and the food was delicious, we shared the calamari and then I had the burger and my other half had the steak; it was all great. The only downside was the temperature of the restaurant, it was boiling hot and we were both roasting! Also we were sat next to each other at a table so it sort of felt like we were at a bus stop. Can't fault the food or the staff though - great pub grub!

Nous avions apprécié cette brasserie. Certes il s'agit de plats se communs, mais ils sont bien présentés et de qualité. Le service est correcte et accueillant, bien que les heures de pointe (19heures) sont plutôt à éviter car on sent les serveurs et serveuses pressés par le temps, même si cela reste anecdotique. Une mention spéciale pour les desserts, et plus spécialement l'assiette de fromages locaux. Je ne connaissais pas les fromages du sud de l'Angleterre. Et bien ils sont excellents ! Je n'ai franchement pas regretté cette expérience culinaire :-)

We went for lunch & had booked which was a good idea as Rye was very busy. Had a lovely meal potted shrimp then moules. Lovely though brown bread with the moules not a good idea as flavour too strong should have been white bread but thoroughly enjoyed the moules Hubby had pate then steak which he rated highly. Staff courteous & prompt.

We sat in the bar area as the main restaurant was booked. This was caused by faulty booking system but it didn't matter food was excellent.My wife had a warm lobster salad to start followed by scallops, I had oysters and Rib eye steak. The rosemary chips were great, as was the spring onions tempura.We had sorbets for sweet.Wine list is very extensive, ask Paul the bar manager, he has an extensive knowledge.The staff were good.

Willing but untrained female waiting staff, we waited fifteen minutes to have our main course crockery and cutlery removed then, when the bill came, it included a non-obligatory service charge !! Thought this disgusting practice ceased years ago, but obviously not.

Finding the location is very easy as it’s on the High Street. Parking is limited so if you see a space and are close, take it and walk the rest of the way.

We enjoyed this downtown restaurant both for the great food and the very pleasant bar for a late nightcap!

We booked through our hotel (as a special deal) for dinner. We felt the choice was fairly limited on the night that we were there, so ended up with a steak - which was pretty average.

Excellently located in the heart of Rye, 4 of us went for dinner on a very busy evening. Great atmosphere, young and willing staff, nice varied menu and well presented good food, served promptly. A small mix up over one of our courses was swiftly and professionally dealt with and the item's cost was removed from the bill without being asked. Happy diners !

Read a review in a National newspaper and as a result joined their web mailing list. With planned holiday locally, we made the trip to Rye looking forward to an array of fresh fish options. Sadly their menu is fairly standard other than the lobster and oyster options. Scallops were tiny and although the battered cod was fresh it was as good as anywhere else, albeit pricier. Cannot say I would rush back.

On Sunday 5 May 2019, I came to The George reception and in person used my £100 50th birthday voucher to purchase four tickets for the Comedy night for Friday 14 June 2019. I received the tickets and I also got two £20 vouchers in return as tickets were £15 each. Last week I also got a call from The George kindly asking if we wanted our curry during that evening event, which we declined and she said she was looking forward to seeing us on Friday and confirmed our booking.

Ate in the restaurant twice during a recent visit to Rye and was a little disappointed with the food the first evening, the sea bass came with potatoes that were swimming in grease, far too much oil or butter is used and they were inedible. The fish and chips was also a little greasy and the chips are more fries than chips.The starters of pate and shrimp pot were very good however and the cheese board was excellent. The second evening was better, the salads as starters were very good, the chateaubriand was a little under cooked but tasty. The seating is not the most comfortable with some bench style seating where you have pile up the pillows behind you if you want to sit back. The service was very good but the overall experience didn’t live up to expectations. Choose your table carefully for a comfortable evening.

Friendly service in a good looking restaurant; conveniently placed in picturesque Rye but certainly overpriced. Half a lobster in reality generated 3 level tablespoons worth of dry meat, served alongside a few unimaginative salad leaves on the side = £19!!

A spontaneous visit to The George Grill at mid afternoon on a Saturday was certainly an excellent choice. Seated immediately and well looked after by very attentive staff. Food was outstanding, service superb and the atmosphere was relaxed. Definitely recommend this place to anyone

Food was excellent, service was very good. Everyone was happy with all aspects of the meal. Price was about right for what you get. Would go again.

Luckily we popped in early to The George in Rye and were surprised just how busy it was. We were fortunate enough to get a table and saw several people turned away. I have to say that the staff here were all excellent in a very friendly and professional way.We also enjoyed some superb meals complimented by very good wines.Not the cheapest place in Rye but one of the best!

Excellent service, perfect waiting staff, splendid wines. All I can say is that if you want the best steak in town, cooked expertly and served by Professionals go to The George Grill and get the Chateaubriand, its a bit pricey but sooooo worth it

I had a lovely dinner at the George Grill. Delicious, great vegetarian options and I loved the Guggle Jugs they used for water so I popped next door and got one to take home!

This is the dining room of the George Hotel. Menu has lots of seafood options and lots of steak. I tried to order the rack of lamb but it was unavailable. Steak was tasty and seafood chowder was good. Extensive wine list with some nice wines by the glass. Pleasant enough meal.

Attentive service both in bar area and restaurant. Food does not merit its price tag. Avoid sea bass skinny fillet, swimming in oil definitely not worth its£19 price tag. Rib steak was good but have tasted better. Desserts at £7 each were dainty and a few mouthfuls!

had lunch here, very nice the cod and chips were excellent. A bit pricey for lunch but worth it as the food is excellent and the place is lovely clean and unusual

Stayed the night in Rye and decide to book a table in The George. As a starter I had the squid which was very average. As a main I had the sea bass which was nice but only a small portion of fish. As a dessert I had the orange tart which tasted burned. This place is quite overrated. You don’t really get What you pay for. Lucy who served us for the evening was very friendly and did a great job though.

Having investigated Rye’s pretty town centre we were drawn into the George Grill by the apparent quality of the menu. We were welcomed and shown to a table, in fact our waitress pushed two tables together for us so we would have plenty of space to enjoy the oysters and Chapeldown fizz starter (husband) and half lobster mains (both of us). The food was delicious, service very good and atmosphere pleasant and relaxed.

The food here was very nice indeed. Nothing to die for but very well executed and tasty. I would say this is probably the best food you can get in Rye. vegetarian/vegan options were rather limited though and I'd encourage the hotel to add more to this.

Whilst staying at the George Hotel we decided to try the George Grill, I had the fish and chips from the menu, the batter on the fish was lovely and crisp and thoroughly enjoyed the lemon mayonnaise that came with it, very good to dip the chips into! The dessert was lovely too. Seems a very popular busy restaurant.

We came here to dine with friends and despite us being two couples with young children and no booking, the staff was extremely accommodating.

Food mediocre and service lacklustre. Booked. Got seated and order taken. From then on everything went downhill! Waited ages for the table to be cleared and to be asked if we wanted puddings. Took our order as well as for another drink. Had to ask where the drink was. Food passable - certainly nothing special. Was recommended but we won’t be going again.

The entrance to the George Hotel in High Street looks like a standard old-style hotel. The entrance in Lion Street, on the other hand, is quite different. You enter through a pretty courtyard (with olive trees), follow a pointing finger sign to 'Bar', go down a mysterious little staircase, and find yourself in a lively, buzzing pub/bistro. We stumbled across this on a Sunday evening, when we had almost given up hope of finding anywhere open for dinner, and how lucky we were to find such a good place! The menu is interesting, with a couple of very appealing vegetarian options, and we had a memorable meal. Top marks.

Well, what can I say! This place was something special! Exquisite food, good service and very reasonably priced. What a treat, be sure to try The George Grill if you can.

This is a higher standard restaurant, with higher prices to match. Food always very good and quality drinks on offer.

On a recent visit to Rye we felt a little peckish and decided to stop in at The George as the last time we visited we had a very enjoyable meal. We stood and waited at the bar for what seemed like at leats 5 minutes whilst the barman seemed to do his best to ignore us (he was not serving anyone else just tidying/cleaning glasses etc.) when he eventually came over we asked if it was possible to grab a table and were told in no uncertain terms that if we hadn’t booked then absolutely no chance of a table. We saw at least 2 tables empty and were not offered any opportunity to come back later or ask for a time when there may be a free table, very disappointing and clearly The George is a little to ‘up itself’ to consider one day it may need repeat customers or ‘walk ins’ to boost its profits! Needless to say that wont be us.

Very central lovely character building food was good special deal if you ate between a certain time you get a carafe of wine free staff were lovely and the building has lots of interesting rooms nice cosy sofas toilets we're very posh

Went for dinner this weekend for my birthday, been several times before! The food was top notch as always, you pay a bit more than a standard pub but so worth it. Would highly recommend a visit. The staff were great, even gave us a lift back to our hotel as we couldn't get a taxi on bank holiday weekend!

Arrived early for a gig at St Mary's church on Saturday so dropped into The George for coffee. After 10 minutes we reminded them of our order and after 20 we had to cancel the order as we had to leave to get decent seats but they offered no refund. Won't be going there again.

Very good service and nice food. Starters of potted shrimps and Calamari were good. Seabass was nice and the seafood linguine was quite tasty but the sauce was very watery and did not complement the pasta. The George is a nice place and I would not hesitate to return but will try the meat dishes next time.

Very nice,clean, friendly staff. Scallops and roast lamb rump excellent! Paul the bartender went above an beyond in service!

We were staying at The George Hotel and decided to eat in The Grill. The service was friendly and efficient throughout. We had starters of scallops and Moules Mariniere, followed by the Chataubriand to share, which was perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth tender. The wine list covers most tastes and is sensibly priced. Good to see a selection of local sparkling wines i.e. Champagne in all but name. Earlier in the day we had a drink in the bar and can recommend that too. We tend to avoid hotel restaurants but the The Grill complements the George hotel well.

Always a pleasure to have a drink at The George. Well worth a visit and the Courtyard is lovely on a sunny day.

My wife and I had lunch here as part of our 50th wedding anniversary celebrations. It proved to be a wise choice. After cocktails in the bar we were shown to our table by the maître d'. The waitresses were very friendly and professional, as was the maître d' himself. My wife opted for steak whilst I had sea bass. Both meals were first class, as were the starters, and nicely presented. The wine was excellent and perfectly chilled. At the end of the meal we were pleasantly surprised when the waitress brought us a platter of chocolates with "Happy Anniversary" written on it (also in chocolate!). It was a perfect lunch and added to the joy of the anniversary itself. Thank you all.

My first trip to Rye - maybe 30x years ago - the place was very pretty, but options to eat were terrible. Like most of the UK - this has no changed - and there are lots of choices.

not a restaurant to return to for dinner, service poor two gin & tonics to start with , they arrived,!!! no gin in glasses just ice !!! food poor only good thing we had two free carafe of wine as we were staying at Rye Lodge hotel with the grill is now part of it

Superb meal. Duck rillette and salt and pepper squid were fabulous. Fish and chips and the lamb were mouthwatering. Service excellent. Ben (our waiter) was particularly attentive.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was very good and extended to my wife requesting the scallops [without the pearl barley risotto which she doesn't like]. The menu was extensive and the atmosphere/ambience was very good.

4 of us visited here for a Golden Wedding celebration

Perfect surroundings with a great attentive service. Vast choice of menu and we opted for the burger which did not disappoint. Great beer and great food. Very satisfied.

Try the Chateaubriand steak ! What a great restaurant, friendly, relaxed, with good food well cooked.

We visited Rye today from North London. The staff here were very accommodating and friendly. They were very careful to make sure what we ordered was allergen friendly.

We had a very nice waitress nothing was too much trouble she had a lovely sense of humour. We had Oysters potted crab hald a lobster excellent steak and cheeseboard winne was fairly priced

As an American living in Kent, I generally stay away from ordering a hamburger because they're just never as good as home. But lunch today at The George Grill proved me wrong. If you want a perfectly prepared and delicious burger, this is the place to go! And perfect chips too come with the burger!! Cozy, quaint ambience. I now have a place to go when I'm craving a burger. And kicking around the wonderful, artsy town of Rye is a treat too!

We visited on10 March 2019 for Sunday lunch. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the staff attentive, the menu has you salivating and the food looks appetising. Unfortunately the food does not live up to its promises. It is flavourless and bland. My shrimp starter was served with burnt toast which I mentioned when the waiter collected the dishes. During our main course the waiter asked if everything was alright - I responded it was fine ie not exciting just ok. When payment was taken I explained to the waiter that the food was hugely disappointing - his response was he asked if everything was ok during the meal. With the bill there was an evaluation form to be completed and the promise that it would be responded to. I’m still waiting for a manager to contact me. The George is not cheap so I would expect the food to be good quality, full of flavour and cooked to a high standard ( the fat on my lamb was not rendered down).

My husband needed a caffeine boost, so we dropped in this smart and attractive pub for a coffee. We were pleased we our dog was also welcomed, which is always a bonus and subsequently decided to reserve a table for lunch. What a delicious lunch it was too, the scallops were cooked perfectly and were just delicious, accompanied by a chilled glass of Picpoul. We shared a local cheese board and asked for the goat's cheese to be substituted with extra blue cheese, without issue. We got the impression this would be a good venue for a celebration meal, although it appeared there were people eating and drinking here who visit regularly and we would probably do the same if we were local to the area. Well worth a visit.

We went for lunch on the last day of the Rye Scallop Festival. The place has a lovely ambiance. The staff are charming and very professional. On the whole the food was delicious and reasonably priced for the quality. My only issue was the scallop starter that had cold scallops which were without flavour. I thought this was disappointing and a waste of scallops - particularly when the main course with scallops was exquisite. Apart from that minor blemish we would recommend this place.

Restaurant was excellent and our all said that we wished we had stayed there for lunch. Excellent service

A friend and I visited the George grill on Monday evening for a meal and were very happy with the experience. The food was great, as was the service and there was a very good atmosphere.

We eat in the bar with family and friends and had a great meal. The food and service is great and when we were there the scallop festival created a great place for local food.

The menu had a great choice, the setting is perfect and the food met our expectations. It covers all the local specialities like saltmarsh lamb and scallops.

The George has a wonderful atmosphere and menu to match. We stayed at the Rye Lodge Hotel up the road (now owned by same people) and there is a linked early dinner deal, with a free carafe of house wine if you book to dine before 7pm. We all had the lobster and loved it! Great selection of gins and wines. Beautiful decor with a roaring fire, and we loved the bulbs and shells they’re currently using to decorate the outside of the hotel for Rye Scallop Week.

I recently had dinner at the George Grill for my father-in-law's birthday. We had a group of 10. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! I would highly recommend the George Grill for any special occasion dinner.

Visited The George for an evening meal. Fabulous food - we had salt and pepper squid for a starter and burger and risotto with scallops for mains. Special mention for the stem ginger ice cream, too. We sat in the bar area in which they allowed dogs and our server brought our dog a bowl of water straight away without is having to ask. Staff were really polite and friendly, too. Would certainly recommend.

We visited the restaurant last night having arrived for a spa break with a deal to dine at the Grill at the George. We were astounded by the attention to detail, our every whim was catered for, the food was high end dining quality, absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the very best meal we've had for a very long time. Thank you.

We were staying at The George so decided to try their restaurant. Had a drink (and game of Scrabble) in the bar before hand and the open fire helped take care of the cold and wet outside

Love The George. Reception staff very professional. And most of bar staff are too. My problem is with the menu. Nothing very healthy and chips with virtually everything. The steak isn’t good. And where has the lamb burger gone?? Mussels and fish stew are to be recommended. And no apple sauce to go with the pork chops?? actually been there one year later and the food needs to be better! Not my fave restaurant! My last comment is from January 2019

Lovely meal with friendly great service. Feeling hungry after a long walk on the beach we all managed three courses which were all very good. The service was very friendly and efficient and waiting staff were always on hand. The salt and pepper squid, Moules Mariniere were and fish and chips were all outstanding as was the salted caramel parfait for dessert. Don't believe the negative reviews on here we couldn't fault the place it is well worth a visit and we will certainly return.

We were staying at its sister hotel, Rye Lodge, down the road. We had a little drink in the bar beforehand and then went through for dinner. Very attentive service and food was nicely presented and served. We would recommend this for a nice meal in Rye.

4 of us had an excellent meal we all had the lamb and it was cooked to perfection well worth the cost.

This restaurant ticks all the right boxes for location and atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the evening. This was especially the case when I was faced with my Lobster dish when I had to ask the waiter to wrestle out any edible meat.

Christmas Eve meal Dover Sole and Lamb , Christmas Day lunch all delicious. Service by waiting staff very good.

This is a good place to visit particularly with such a rich menu. The food and service are very good, and definitely worth a visit.

Abject apologies! I had inadvertently reviewed the George pub at Lydd - never been there and this is the first time as a senior contributor I've committed this blunder.! Anyway...We had stayed once previously at The George but having enjoyed their generous afternoon tea, we'd never actually tried the restaurant. I cannot speak highly enough of both the quality and presentation of the food, equally matched by first-class professional service. For starters my wife chose the mussels whilst I enjoyed a 1/2 dozen Mersey oysters (small criticism - should have been accompanied by a couple of slices of brown bread!). To follow, my wife opted for the rump of lamb and I had the Dover sole - a good 500 grams worth - cooked to perfection in a rich butter sauce with capers and samphire. Desserts are homemade too - we recommend the pear tarte Tatin with its novel presentation. The entire meal was overseen by a very focussed, eagle-eyed maitre d' whose attention to detail was also very noticeable. Would definitely return - especially for the fish.

Have dined at the grill on a number of occasions while staying at The George. As usual, beautiful dinner - had to cod this time which was both delicate & delicious. Lovely rosemary chips & unusual minted peas. The only criticism is the awkwardness of negotiating all the individual bowls on the plate. The desert was divine & unusual - winter fruit sorbet with crab apples, apricots & poached pears which all tasted very christmassy & mulled. The cheeseboard selection was fantastic but I must again complain about the use of a wooden board to serve this on. Simply cannot be hygienic.

We always have a pre Christmas lunch out ahead of family time and decided on Rye as a change from Brighton and Old town, hastings. Chose The George as its been there years and several friends have recommended it. We would have happily spent the whole day there and if we didn’t have to get back, we would have tried to book in for the evening!

We have been looking for a long time to stay at the george and try there apparently amazing restaurant for a long time

Stayed for a couple of nights at hotel. Had a meal at the grill. Really lovely. The food was good but the service received was excellent. Plenty of really well trained staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic. Will come again real soon

Reserved a few hours in advance via Open Table, which worked perfectly. Straight to main courses of lamb rump & rib-eye steak - both cooked as ordered. The only thing left on our plate was the tomato vine stalk...

We visited The George Grill last night for my husband’s birthday with friends after hearing good reviews. We were not disappointed. A very warm welcome, followed by willingly delaying our table time so we could enjoy a drink in the bar. Lovely surroundings and very good service throughout. The food was excellent. Fresh oysters, the best Moule Mariniere I’ve ever had (beautiful sauce, fresh, juicy moule), perfectly cooked lamp rump with truffle mash and fine quality steak (onglet and rib-eye). Really first rate. Will definitely return. Thank you.

My partner and I love this restaurant. It punches well above its weight and the food, wine, ambiance and service when combined all make for a truly memorable dining experience.

We ate at The George on the first night of our stay in Rye due to friends highly recommending it. We ordered medium ‘Onglet’ steaks but they were tough, charred & very well done. The rest of the meal was only mediocre so were v disappointed. We were given a small discount & they did offer to cook us another but we declined as we didn’t want another wait. I know everybody can’t get it right every time. Hopefully a one off experience!

You don't really anticipate perfection either in a pub or High Street hotel but I would certainly return here. We had booked lunchtime on a Sunday and were efficiently shown to our seats which were comfortable in a spacious and warm restaurant. The waitress was very knowledgeable about the menu and also helpful over the choice of beers. The menu is based on seafood and steak and there are many options. I can certainly recommend the Rye Bay scallops which were some of the best (if not the best) that I have tried and all perfectly cooked. You will need fries with the dish to fill you up. The creme brûlée sweet was also very good but not quite up to the memorable main course. Overall a relaxing time with great food and ambiance which makes this a destination restaurant. The bill for 5 came to around £140 which, although not cheap, represents good value for the quality of food served.

Always enjoy dinner at The George. Its quite expensive but the food is simple but high quality. Fish or steak prepared to perfection. Menu quite small but prefer that as freshness and seasonality guarenteed.

We popped in on the off-chance there was a free table on the night before the firework evening. Whilst the town was really quiet, there was a real buzz in here, a sign of something good we hoped.

Had a birthday lunch with a friend here.

My husband & myself had a very nice meal in The George Grill & it was delicious. My husband had the celeriac soup but I didn’t want a starter. We then shared a chateaubriand with a nice bottle of wine. The chateaubriand was cooked to perfection along with plenty of cherry tomatoes on the vine, fried onion rings & a tub of chips each. We didn’t have a dessert as we were both so full. The waitress was very attentive without being intrusive. A very nice meal with a nice ambience. Well done to all concerned.

Excellent atmosphere and meal. The service was really good and prompt. We stuck to sea food, both choosing moules for the first course, followed by Dover Sole for my wife, and battered cod for me which was the best I've ever had. Neither of us could manage a dessert! A few glasses of excellent wine and entertaining conversation with the couple at the adjacent table made for a lovely evening!
