The George Hotel Restaurant in Derbyshire Dales

Pretty average food at Quality Restaurant Prices. Silly beer prices, £6.00 for a pint of average keg fizz ? The kids did their best to serve, bless 'em (lad behind bar stated that he couldn't 'do' wine, as they had run out of wine glasses !!). Two young ladies waiting on table were good, but really had no idea about, perhaps, offering desert after main course, or asking if 'everything is ok?' or offering a bill ? Not really surprising, as no evidence of any management. Nothing to stop us from just walking out after eating, except our honesty. Dingy, run-down feeling generally. Not recommended.

Friendly staff greeted us and showed us to the table. The food was excellent. The service was not fast, but it did taste excellent and was freshly prepared. The speed suited us as we were chatting and enjoying the evening.

We met for a family meal , the service was very slow, only two people doing everything and it took 2 hours for 2 courses and it wasn’t even very busy, we wanted coffee but at 8pm we were told someone had turned the coffee machine off ! The food was lovely no complaints there, and there was a service charge to ?

The hotel closes at 10pm on a Sunday night. We arrived back at 10.02pm to find it locked & barred. Having attracted someone's attention I asked to pay off our day tab, adding a glass of red wine as a bedroom nightcap. The manager, Chris, would only accept our credit card payment but refused to add a glass of red wine to the payment. To repeat, this was at 10.02pm. Appalling customer service, we had thought of staying here again but now no longer, and it should be avoided.

Booked the George as we were visiting Chatsworth House & Bakewell. Had a great time here. The food was delicious. Ate in the evening here. The breakfast next morning was just as good. The portions are large. All the staff were really friendly. Couldn’t fault the room.

Booked a table, ordered drinks, but when we tried to order our meal 3 out of 4 main courses we were ordering were unavailable. So, we drank up and eat at The Star pub instead If we visit Tideswell again we just won't even bother to try eating at The George

Popped into The George, Tideswell for lunch with our granddaughter. It was very quiet when we entered which was just after opening time 12 pm. The staff were very friendly, especially the waitress who was polite and helpful. I had the fisherman’s pie, my husband had bangers and mash and our granddaughter had the chilli con carne and nachos. My fisherman’s pie was very tasty, perhaps a little less mash and more fish would have been an improvement. Hubby enjoyed his bangers and mash, especially the sausages. Our granddaughter was unable to finish her chilli as she found it a bit dry compared to what she has in Australia. We enjoyed our visit to The George and will definitely visit again.

Lots of parking, warm welcome, clean easy access to toilets. Good menu, good service. Our steak/ gammon steak both tasty

Pleasant afternoon here whilst visiting the area. We had booked for lunch as the George was convenient for the family. Large spacious old pub in need of a spruce up. Service was average with quite a wait for food although they were busy. Overall Ok if your in the area and want to eat although there are some other options if you seek them out.

Gorgeous food in comfortable surroundings. Very smiley staff. I had the sea bass and hubby had steak and ale pie. Yummy. I had the Tidza pudding which is like a Bakewell tart with custard and it was sooooo good.

Went here by accident looking for somewhere to eat. Enjoyed the music festival so much we went to listen to it each night and would go back again. Only disapointment wa the street food we ate made me feel sick in the night.

I have eaten a lot of burgers in my days, and I can comfortably say that the one with cheese and bacon was one the best I have had in a long time. Good selection of ales as well.

We sat outside in the sunshine. There were plenty of tables in front of the hotel. I can't actually remember exactly what I had to eat but I know I ate everything and made a mental note to write a good review. I think I had a sandwich and salad and it fulfilled my needs as a midday meal. My husband had chips with whatever he had and I helped myself to a few as they were the best I've ever had.

The chef’s homemade beef and ale pie was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. Tender beef, not too much pastry, a jug of extra gravy. Heavenly. The vegetables were not over cooked as well. All in all if you’re a fan of this pub classic I don’t think you’d be disappointed.

Fantastic good quality pub food with more than generous portions. Excellent service. All very well done. Will definitely visit again

Excellent menu, great choice, amazing food, great service. Recommend booking a table as it gets very busy.

Staff here are so friendly and relaxed. We are a large family with noisy teenagers. Staff made us feel very welcome as we visited a few times during our weekend in Tideswell. Decent bar and Excellent roast dinners. Tidza pudding I'd not heard of but would definitely have it again. Theres only one negative but not worthy of losing a star- the vegetarian sausages were not too great and either could be cooked differently or maybe a different brand be used. Portion sizes Excellent and hoice of vegetables great too. Thank you

This was my first visit as our usual haunt is undergoing refurbishment. Firstly, the staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The menu is typical pub grub, the chicken and leek pie was excellent as was the local dessert….Tidza pud. They beer...

We feel very lucky to have chosen The George for a family celebration. The food was fantastic! It’s a lovely laid back pub with very friendly service and a lovely menu. Three of us had the belly pork which we all agreed was fabulous, one...

We like to try different pubs in the Peak District for Sunday lunch and I have to say that The George came pretty high up the list today. I can quite honestly say that although we've eaten in many places in Tideswell, we've never tried...

My family and I recently ate at The George for an evening meal. The food was served really quickly and was quality - the fish are huge! They also have a good selection of draught beers

The George serves very much traditional pub food with a good range of options for all tastes. The food was of good quality and not too expensive, and the staff were friendly and helpful. No complaints.

We've known this pub for over 30 years. The church next door has been the location for 2 family weddings and I stayed in The George the night before our wedding. We were told that The George was under new management, so the family dined...

Had a lovely Friday night in the George with our friends who live local. Great food and great entertainment. The landlord and staff were friendly and extremely hard working. A fabulous experience which we look forward to repeating again. 10/10

We were a party of 6 and ordered a variety of starters and mains all of which were really great. We had the 'nibbles' selection to start - prawn and choritzo pot was lovely as was the halloumi chunks. Our mains included sirloin steak, cooked...

We ate here for a few nights, the steak & ale pie was delicious & a very good portion. We also had the salmon with olive mash & spicy chicken kebabs. Both very nice. The pub is a good place to go, nice decor &...

The food is great and we enjoyed every bite. Good quality food and well made But … We were served a bottle of oxidised Rioja. Now, I come from a family of winemakers and can tell an oxidised wine with my eyes closed from one...

We ate outside. Staff were friendly and helpful but the food was very average. Chips were overcooked and everything was a bit greasy. The coleslaw was lovely though.

Wonderful hosts who remembered us on our second visit. The food and drink were lovely, plentiful and well needed after hours of walking around the countryside. We would definitely go back on a next visit.

Friendly staff but meal very average. Burgers were over cooked and chips had no flavour. Very clean and well kept.

I was told this place was taken over by a well respected chef etc and I was disappointed. Great food, service and ambience. Bear in mind this has only just been taken over and the plans for this place is incredible. The place can get...

Why is this pub not full? The beer is well kept, the food was proper tasty and the staff attentive. What more do people really need. If you’re in the area and undecided give it a visit you won’t be disappointed. As an aside my...

We were very lucky to be able to enjoy the gorgeous weather & sit outside for lunch. We shared some starters & we were all very impressed. All very tasty. Friendly bar service & all covid secure. Would definitely return & certainly recommend.

Such a change the new ownership makes. Traditional pub food cooked really well, clean new paintwork and fresh decor, friendly and helpful staff. Great start for the new team and they promise better things to come.

Two visits to the George Inn while on holiday in Tideswell for a week, had food on both visits which was good value for money and generous portions, the staff were very friendly and attentive, would highly recommend a visit.

We were met with a sincere greeting. We ordered the Fish pie and a Steak pie. We were not disapointed. The fish pie was very tasty, I didnt exspect a lot of Salmon but again, pleasantly suprised. The staek was was literaly full of tember steak. In my opinion both were home made. I enjoyed the IPA, but then noticed the Timothy Talylors, that is my favourite tipple, I shall have to go back again soon.Freindly service, good food, pleasant surounding, who wouldnt go back?

Delicious meal and big portions, our meals had loads of flavour. I loved the friendly atmosphere and the dogs that were wondering around, open fire also a great touch!

Arrived Friday, staff were very welcoming and pleasant lovely atmosphere and Dog friendly it was busy too which was good

Went here for Sunday lunch hardly anyone in so didn't expect the food to be that long but it took about 30mins and when it arrived the roast potatoes, parsnips and Yorkshire pudding were cooked from frozen. Ok not the first pub I've been in that server frozen potatoes and Yorkshire's but is the first one for frozen parsnips

Me, my friend and dog visited here on a Saturday night in January. We had one cheesecake with ice cream, one after 8 ice cream sundae and a bottle of red wine. The ambiance was nice and relaxed and the waitress was nice. The only disappointment I would say was the cheesecake, it didnt have much of a biscuit base and wish I would of ordered something different now. Dont think we would eat here again as it was just ok but the staff and locals were friendly.

It was a disappointment, overpriced, needed a bathroom refurb, no hot water and no apology from staff next morning. We booked on booking.com and were charged more than quoted.....and yes this is the George hotel in tideswell that we visited.

Dog friendly, good menu, welcoming staff, pretty and inviting bar and restaurant, games room, great location. Had a lovely family evening meal. Sensibly priced and good variety of food. Enjoyable evening and a good meal. If returning to this village I would probably look to stay in this hotel in the accomodation upstairs and then make the most of the bar and restaurant!

I had heard good things, about the Sunday lunch here, so had to go and try one. I chose the lamb dinner, and I must say it was fantastic, really good value. The service was spot on. And Steph the chef,sent the meal out well presented, and cooked to perfection. I would recommend this place to anyone. Large car park to boot, and a great pint of carling to boot. Marks out of 10, it's got to be a 10 from me

called in twice this week while staying in a cottage, tried the 2 for 15 meals, good value for money, pleasant staff and spotless clean

Ate here with friends. I had steak, cooked to perfection by Nicola.Great choice available on the menu and at very reasonable prices. Good table service, didn't even need to get up to get a drink. The pub is very clean, the toilets are clean, the service is excellent. Didn't have to wait long for our food either despite the pub being busy.

Found this by chance. Had delicious food here. Place was clean & staff were attentive. Prices were good too.

Staying in Tideswell for a week and had an evening meal on our first night in the village.The food was fine though not outstanding but decent enough. Friendly staff as well.

We stayed in Tideswell for a hen weekend & the George Inn catered for us on our first evening. They set up a separate area & even decorated it for us. Food was lovely, very reasonably priced & lots of choice. Very relaxed atmosphere & they catered really well with different dietary requirements, nothing was too much trouble. Even though everyone ordered separately they even waited to serve everyone’s meals together which was a lovely touch, been to so many places as large groups where you all end up starting & finishing at different times. A great start to a lovely weekend.

Called at the George Hotel for a drink after arriving in Tideswell on holiday. We noted that they had received awards for their Sunday lunches and booked a table for two days hence.

We had 2 visits to the family run George. The food was good & the staff were attentive & friendly. My husband has special eating needs & nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly return.

We had two mains from the “two for £15” menu, and didn’t regret it

Went for a drink on Easter Sunday with my 2 year old son and wife. My wife went to the bar whilst I occupied my son outside, only to be hassled by a group of locals. I only know they were locals as I counted the fingers, although unfortunately it didn’t look like they made use of the amazing local walks, as one was wearing a rugby shirt that could have been used as a duvet cover on most king size beds.

Stopped here for lunch mid-hike over the weekend. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Pub has a nice feel in general. There were no local ales, which was slightly disappointing, although there was a good range of drinks. Menu was fairly standard, and we chose jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw (for me) and a cheeseburger (for my husband). The jacket was slightly too well done for my liking, as the skin was almost inedible. Coleslaw tasted watery and cheap however, and the salad didn't look or taste very fresh. Husband enjoyed his burger, although it was slightly overdone, and the fries appeared to be the frozen variety. Prices were very reasonable, and there was free WiFi, which was a bonus. There was certainly nothing to complain about, but by the same token, we wouldn't plan a second trip here. Overall, a fairly average pub - well situated, with great staff, but the food is nothing special.

A small party of five recently went for a meal... Service was good but the food was very poor... the food served was mainly straight out of the freezer!!!! Although everything was "ok" it left a lot to be desired. Basically cheap produce, quick to cook and poor quality.

Had an enjoyable drink and lunch here, including the company of the pub's fabulous dog called Charlie.

Despite an attractive exterior and friendly staff the food lets it down badly. It seems that the food is not freshly prepared. Certainly the pies are bare bought in. They simply consist this tasteless pastry full of air with very little meat content. Two main courses for £15 is a waste of money.

Staying nearby at local gust house so only a 5 minutes walk away was this welcoming hostelry. It was Friday early evening, we sat down and was looked after by our young friendly waitress. We ordered drinks, then food my wife had chickpea curry at £7.99, I had the beef and ale pie with chips and vegetables at £8.99, 2 for £15 so discounted £1.98. We had desserts, strawberry sponge pudding with custard at £3.95 and caramel apple pie and custard at £4.75. All this was delicious and plentiful washed down with drinks in this friendly village restaurant.

Came here for the works christmas dinner, the food and service was first class. I had the leek and potato soup for starters which was excellent. I then had the 8 ounce steak with chips and all the trimmings. Steak cooked to perfection as was the rest of the meal. For dessert i had the brandy snap basket with ice cream topped with cherries which was absolutley delicious. Can't praise the staff highly enough.

We ate here twice during our stay in Tideswell. The menu is centred around pub favourites but it is well cooked and plentiful. I particularly enjoyed the steak and ale pie and my husband’s favourite was the Hunters Chicken.

Nothing special about the food and not a lot of choice on the menu.

A good choice of pub-grub favourites. The management's understanding of Gluten-free foods is reflected in the menu. What a refreshing change! Top marks The George!!

Came to this pub while staying with friends in the Tideswell area.

Visited the pub for 3 evenings whilst staying in Tideswell, 4 adults and 3 large dogs. Good choice of food at good prices. Very friendly atmosphere and dogs were made very welcome with water, fuss and treats. Service very attentive and efficient. Lovely pub grub.

We experienced a warm welcome, helpful staff, slick service, fabulous meal choice and well cooked and presented food every night. Our dogs were made welcome too. I could have stayed there a fortnight and still be trying new and inviting dishes every night,

it was after visiting another pub we decided to go into The George. Had a meal and it was very good had a good turnover of customers and served a good selection of ale and beer. the staff were experienced and helpful. Yes would dine here again

Most impressed how the pub has progressed from the last time we came, a few years ago.

only popped in for a drink after a local meal. it was lovely friendly and the toilets were clean! friendly staff. house wine wasn't great

And a good atmosphere too with friendly staff. If we are in Tideswell again we will definitely go there again

We ate here twice during our week in Litton, both as a family and as a couple.

Really nice family meal and service was outstanding. Pick this over the Horse & Jockey anytime (which was completely the opposite)!

We just got back from staying here we were there for 4 nights we ate there every night if we had stayed for another week we could have easily had something different to eat every night we found them all very helpful and friendly and would definitely stay here again we have already recommended this place to our friends thank you Wendy and Alan for a lovely comfortable stay

Wonderful service but the cod and chips were poor. The fish was very small, a lot more batter than fish.

we were advised this was good enough place to eat and it was within walking distance of our B+B. First night we had beer battered fish and chips. Our first choice wasn't available The fish was very small and the plate was overfull of chips. They were freezer chips.The second night again our vegetarian choice was not available so we opted for a chicken breast in Madras curry sauce.Nice accompaniments but no way was there a full chicken breast and mine arrived cold in the middle. It was in a metal Balti bowl so I wondered how they would warm it up. When it came back after 30 seconds,the food arrangement in the bowl was unchanged and it was still cold.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. A good pub with good pub food. Nothing too fancy but then it doesn't need to be when done well. Friendly staff who were happy to recommend their competition when theyd stopped serving food on the Sunday.

The food was good with plenty of choice, service friendly and our dog was welcome.It was quiet and comfortable

Put it’s nearbye public house ompetition firmly in the shade. Pleasant, and quick staff. Excellent cuisine, nicely cooked and presented.

Popped in with my daughter whilst exploring Tideswell on the first day on a weekend stay. On entering there was a bar but it felt more like a restaurant. Indeed the menu looked quite good! Lacked much atmosphere and the ale was "ok" not great.

Ate here twice while staying in Tideswell. Good service and very friendly waitresses. Food was good and reasonably priced

The hotel was beautiful. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was super soft. Breakfast was included so great value. Staff were super helpful and even went to the trouble of printing maps for us. We also had dinner and the food was great. The real fine dining experience. I would highly recommend this hotel and would be happy to go back.

A warm welcome and great service, good menu choice and very reasonably priced, mixed bag of food, some great, some just ok.

We stoped for a drink and a game of pool. Didn't see a menu. The bonus is the parking in front of the pub and off the street, plenty of it

Beer is cheap. Menu is standard pub fare but not well cooked or presented. There are better places in the village to eat including the horse and jockey with similar menu but food is much better.

As soon as we entered we were greeted in a very friendly manner and this hospitality continued throughout, even though this was our 1st ever visit.

Went here on the last night of our 3 night break in Tideswell.

Had three wonderful meals at George Inn during our stay in the Peak District! Entering The George Inn summons the best in british pub atmosphere, with its warm interior and family friendly set-up. The menu is varied and comprises all the pub classics. The cook is skilled and the food excellent! Service on par with the food, a delight! We also enjoyed the evening Shakespeare play upstairs. The George Inn is a winner all around!

Called in whilst staying in the village on our first night. Although not massively busy, we had to wait a while for our food, although it was worth the wait. The steak pie and mash was lovely, the burger very nice also. We called in again a few nights later with our daughter but the food was not quite to the same standard. My wife was going to have the pie but we were told they had run out, so they both had the curry which they said was nice. My mixed grill was reasonable, the steak was excellent but the chicken was a little on the dry side. Would have been a 4 star after the first visit but dropped to three following the second, pity.

Visited pub and was very pleased to leave it again. I am sure the pub gets reasonable reviews from the younger drinker, but for middle aged onwards visitors I would not recommend a visit,

Stayed one night with our little dog and the staff were very friendly and welcoming . Did not try breakfast , room very spacious and clean , bathroom a little tired due to ? Condensation . Generally a good place .

I don't mean quantity over quality to be disparaging. Sometimes that's good. We were starving after a days walking so our steak pie mash and peas hit the spot. It was a very good price too, two mains for £12. Extensive menu of usual pub grub, lasagne, burgers, fish and chips. Relaxed atmosphere , we were still in our walking gear. Service was fast and friendly. I would sum up this pub as No frills. And sometimes that's just fine. Btw it's dog friendly and family friendly too.

Stayed in a room with my mum and sister as we were visiting chatsworth house down the road. The room itself was clean and well maintained with all the basics including a hairdryer. Yes the beds are soft and squidgy but ok for a night. Be warned that you may be on the side next to the church which unfortunately has a bell that goes off every quarter of an hour and I didn't sleep much past one. Also being above a pub you expect noise however by 11.30 it was clear they were having a mini nightclub scene and the bass from the house music was quite frustrating. We did eat here as had booked a table. They were very busy in the bar area and perhaps a bit short on staff, after waiting nearly 40 minutes for dinner we were quite hungry. Food was tasty though and hot and the staff are friendly with a good atmosphere.

Great pub in the fantastic village of Tideswell...Friendly service and the food great value and nice.If you are in the village make sure you go.

We popped in a few times during our stay. Good selection of drinks and dog friendly. Made to feel welcome and they serve food too but we had already eaten each time.

We popped in here on a Saturday evening, cosy, just taken over by a new family.. wanting to do whatever it take hue you to enjoy your time there.

We ate mid week , was busy but still got served quite quickly , the food was good and the prices are great , great value, great food , lovely staff .

Called on for lunch - food and drinks were great, friendly welcome, but no Worcester sauce for madam's tomato juice. So, they only went out to the local shop and got some. Now that's the sort of service that draws us back to the Peak District time after time.

Visited at the weekend for lunch and the food was excellent, a lovely meal that was very much enjoyed and for a great price too! Shame we don't live in the area as wewould certainly be back!
