The George Inn in South Somerset

We stayed at the hotel for one night, the room was clean and the breakfast was quite nice. The actual pub was a mess, very run down and depressing. We were booked for two nights but came home after the first day ...... would not recommend this hotel.

We visited The George on Easter Sunday for a roast dinner. Myself and my 2 young children. The food was amazing, very fresh and cooked to perfection. Fantastic price too. The staff and management were very welcoming and respectful. The establishment was very clean and well presented. Will definitely be back.

All rather disappointing really, average food in a pub that desperately needs updating, get a Chinese takeaway instead.

We were made very welcome by the staff who were friendly and helpful. The twin room we had was very comfortable. Remember this is a 17th century coaching inn and the stairs are steep. So perhaps not a good place if you struggle with stairs .

We thought we would have lunch here on the way back from a Covid jab. The place seemed almost empty and we had a job to find any staff. When he appeared we were informed there was no food, no chef - nothing. This used to be a good place for lunch but we had to go elsewhere and probably won't bother to return

The staff (landlord?) very friendly and chatty. Brought drinks to the table for us. Totally covid compliant. Lovely and cool on a hot day. Will be returning ☺️ I imagine a cosy pub in the Winter

Visited in the midst of Storm Dennis for food but unfortunately we were just to late, however had drinks friendly staff and locals.

Really good value, friendly staff. Lovely, hot food, well presented. Wine and lager were well kept. Pie night looked good value too, as did the Gorge the George Brekkie!!!!!!!!

Lovely weekend visit the people who ran the hotel were very helpful & welcoming. Food was excellent & drinks were reasonable. We would return again 👍

We did not know Crewkerne, booked this as it looked ok and we needed a bed for the night after going on a local distillery tour. We started by arriving and having not been told there wasn’t a hotel carpark we had to wait for a space in the closest public carpark, our taxi was waiting so no time to check in. After a delightful lunch and tour we came back to The George around 4pm, a young man checked us in, he was polite but could not print a receipt for us as there was no ink for the printer. He then told us our room was outside across the alley, in a door between two shops and up some stairs, we trundled over, the door was tricky to open the hall way stinking of cat and dirty, the stairs grim with a covering of flaking paint. The room, again with a tricky lock, was clean but very small. The bathroom very hot due to the towel rail. We went out into Crewkerne and spent a very nice evening at a different establishment. We got back about 11pm, the noise in the alleyway was very loud and went on for some time. The bed was very uncomfortable. Breakfast was ok. The service not great, the dining room was very tired and standing making our toast next to a ladder and a Henry Hoover was unexpected! Our cooked breakfast was well cooked and hot but of the catering pack variety. Things were not cleared from the table and I was given a teabag in hot water then a pot of tea made in a grubby teapot. Another gripe, 80’s soft rock Muzak played loudly is not my idea of a good Sunday morning soundtrack. The staff were all polite but very young and looked grubby. We were then asked to leave our table by 10 as they wanted to set up for the lunchtime carvery. Will we return? No.

Stayed here for 1 night with a friend. Booked a twin room which was a good size with perfectly adequate en-suite facilities. Toiletries provided although the hairdryer was not brilliant, probably better to take your own. Staff we encountered were all friendly and helpful, breakfast was good, full English cooked to order with a choice of cereals toast and fruit. What more could you want. All in all a reasonable price room and I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Toilet appeared used upon arrival. The food was so bad, (my evening meal was awful) we had breakfast in the lovely cafe opposite along with other guests from the hotel. The stool top was broken and although we told the staff, it was placed carefully back on top.

The George is steeped in history as a coaching inn for centuries at the centre of Crewkerne. Parts have undergone refurbishment but the front bar is still rather old fashioned. We popped in for lunch & enjoyed a turkey curry & fish & chips. Quirky decor including portraits that had dog heads & a wallful of clocks. (The proforma won't let me attach pix)

Arrived at restaurant; but were waiting for another couple to arrive.. we felt rushed even though we were the only diners... menu was very limited.. there was no lasagne or steak and kidney pie' also ran out of blue Minnie cheese.. three of us had Gannon steak and one fish and chips. Meals were k Luke warm and tasteless. The fish meal was warm and tasted awful.. the staff were friendly enough but very persistent.. which made us feel uncomfortable.. I'm sure they had a bigof offer on peas we were over run with them.. the dessert board was disappointing no cream .. couldn't wait to leave. When we said no desserts the waitress snatched the board away.. asking us if we wanted the bill which she brought back promptly.. no mention of coffee either. ...... we won't be going again... heard the white Hart is so much better.

Stayed here overnight for a wedding locally, was surprised to be allocated the George suite on arrival which I must say was great. Large in size with a cracking bathroom. Bed was super comfortable so if all the other rooms are similar it's worth it for the beds and space. The downside though was the poor quality breakfast, I can't help but feel the George staff need to sharpen their game up a little. Start to use local produce and provide your guests with a decent breakfast to gain the better reviews.

Came into town for the market and stopped here for some lunch. The mid week carvery was on at £6.95 per person brilliant value! We enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The manager also notified us of the locally sourced ingredients which was a lovely touch! Thankyou we will be back. Great job!

Beautiful building.nice children staffing the bar.hardly their fault that the alleged chef is incapable of making a toasted sandwich and chips . disgusting.

Lovely frendily welcome in both bars. Very reasonabley priced. Didn't eat here but food looked delicious

Had really good time here good service and good carvery.friendly staff and refurbished bar/restaurant

Very little customer care, reception left us waiting and failed to respond appropriately.

Arrived late on Friday lunch time. Prompt service with drinks, ordered meal and after some delay were presented with delicious fresh cooked Fish and Chips, nicely presented. Portion size just right, chips and batter excellent.

Hotel offered good value lunch meals (2 for £10). Evening meals were not large but the taste was superb. Menu same every evening but worth it for it was not the usual fare. Overall a pleasant and satisfying place to eat.

After looking at the menu my wife and I decided to order the starter but as a main course which the waitress said we could on the 2 for £10 deal. We waited apx. 30 mins to be served with a plate of food that was so small that i would have returned it as a starter. I think the waitress had not advised the chef he was preparing main meals. We returned the food and advised we had to leave because of an hours parking was coming to an end. A lack of communication here!!

Was passing through Crewkerne on our way to Weymouth and we decided to stop off and view some Antique shops. What a beautiful area!!

Lunch menu looked ok, but (and it was a short menu) wasn’t all available. So I had pie instead of liver. It was a small unexciting pie. Place was empty. Voyage to the loo found nasty disinfectant smells.

Stayed for 1 night B n B plus dinner. Welcoming check in from a chap, taken to the room (and he apologised for the sewage smell just inside the door to the separate accommodation annex across the public courtyard).

Very disappointed. We have been here before a couple of times n the past as we have family in the area. On a recent visit we decided to go again. The restaurant has been refurbished by the new owners and looks better. However the food was not good, pretty disappointing. My husband and brother were both shocked by the meagre portion sizes being hungry fellows. The pies appear to be cheap shop bought pies which are taken from the freezer and heated in a microwave which are served with about 8 chips. I do hope this is just teething problems. We were given a discount on our bill which was a nice gesture, however we won't go back

Visited The George optimistically for food. The optimism was short lived, we were shown to the empty resteraunt, 7 in total. Some of us were handed lunch menus, i say some because although there were 10+ tables only 4 of us recieved menus. Looking at said menu was underwhelming, not spoilt by choice in the first place the menu was once again limited due to lack of produce despite the butcher stood in the hall with a leg of lamb (this was not on the menu). We ordered our food off the limited and dull menu, if i were to describe said menu beige would be colour of choice. Sat for what felt etwrnity waiting for our food, numerous patrons walked passed to use the facilities....were hands washed? Who knows? An hour or more passed, sometime during thos we were questioned on our order. As there were 5 orders and 7 people waiting. On correction of this matter our food finally arrived, delivered by an obnoxious and disgruntled employee. They were delivered with a rude "slam" one by one. Waiting at least 5 minutes between each plate, im no chef but i could only guess that gammon would normally be cooked at the same time if you had more than one order from table?? Once the first dishes had cooled down the others were brought to the table, during this time the angry waitress managed to throw my chips savagely on the floor. Also closely grazing a friends face whilst delivering mayonaise to the table. Said sauce appeared within a time frime of what appeared to be years with half of the meal already being eaten. The microwave "ding" was slightly concerning but was overlooked due to massive hunger, boredome and lack of atmosphere. The small portion was quickly devoured, not realising that "mains" meant "appetiser" in this establishment. The offer of desert was declined, not due to lack of hunger but lack of time pacience. When the time came to pay for the bill, the balance was begrudgingly settled with cash upon the table. Id have rather spent my hard earned money on flushing it down the nearby toiletts. When getting ready to leave a second bill was hurredly delivered, explaining that the origonal was incorrect as it did not contain the missing meals as previously stated. At this point i was at my wits end and quite simply just wanted to leave never to return again.

We booked in here for 2 nights and were shown to a perfectly acceptable room. It was spotlessly clean, comfy bed, good pillows, and plenty of hot water. The staff were on the whole all lovely, and did their best to sort out any issues.

After watching the refurbishment of the George Inn we thought we would drop in for a Sunday Lunch. The restaurant was full and we picked seating in the bar and paid a very reasonable £7.95 for a Sunday lunch. The new interior has some lovely touches, with unusual wall lighting, distinctive artwork, warm atmosphere and friendly staff. The Carvery was fabulous! With 3 roasts on offer and a great selection of vegetables. With a child's portion at £4.95 it's great value for money and a lovely Sunday roast!

Took sometime for anyone to come over and acknowledge us and take our order. Long wait for food with only...

The atmosphere was a bit depressing and reminded me of the terrible food served throughout Britain in the 1960s and...

It is very good to see this old building having a complete re furb. There is a wide choice of...

Popped in for fish and chips. Lady running it was lovely however the food had a nasty taste to it...

Wir sind nach einem langen Tag hier spontan eingekehrt und haben zu Abend gegessen. Die Bedienung ist nett das Essen...

Stopped by yo see if there was food being served which there wasn't. But had drink anyway Rose was disgusting...

Vimos que los nuevos propietarios están ofreciendo un asador en tiempos de los miércoles y los domingos el almuerzo. Decidimos probar el miércoles después de un viaje de compras de Crewkerne. El personal era agradable y copas rápidamente así que podía ir a la mesa....

Ho soggiornato per lavoro in questo hotel e fevo dire che è lhotel più English style in cui abbia mai soggiornato. La camera spaziosa ed il bagno grando. Pulito ma tutto molto old. Wifi pressoché assente. Cortesia del proprietario e buon servizio. Se torno a Crewkerne alloggero di nuovo qui. Ovviamente se cercate un hotel moderno evitatelo se invece vi piace anche questo stile è l'ideale.

my son and i stayed for 3 nights and ate dinner there on two of them. our rooms were small and basic, but functional as a base to explore the area. the location is central but quiet. breakfast and dinner were home made, delicious and service was efficient. would recommend this place as such good value for money - £50 each for b and b! astonishing value.

He vuelto muchas veces y no me puedo quejar, buena cerveza, buena comida y personal amable junto con relación calidad-precio

This is a friendly place and food is reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly but at busy times can be a bit disorganised. Our meals were taken to another table by mistake and we then had to wait ages for our food to be done again. Food good once we received it.

Friendly dog welcome pub. Good food.Great staff . Resteront and bar food of good quality. Or pop in for morning coffe.

This is a former coaching Inn and has a charm of its own. The restaurant (main chef the owner) has standard fare with some interesting specials. Accommodation is comfortable if a little cramped for space. The staff are all friendly and willing to please and the welcome is warm.

Terrible wine tho not the cheapest - dowdy atmosphere - very grim generally & depressing - no wifi !!!

Although it can be good to go somewhere which time has passed by, there are occasions when entry into the 21st century would be welcome, even if partially. Everything was adequate but it could have been so much more. I appreciate that it is expensive to run these rather large establishments but unfortuante people expect so much more today

Both of these stars are for the friendly,professional,happy woman running the bar.Her service was enthusiastic and she really looked after us.If we could rate it on her alone then this would be 5 stars.As for the food,how anyone can screw up a ham and cheese toasted sandwich is beyond us.This felt like the kind of place you don't complain about the food.

My wife and me use this on a regular occasion and the beer is well kept and the food very nicely cooked, always!!!For the life of me I can't understand why it don't get really busy as talking with other drinkers and diners they also say the same.Worth a visit and bet you won't be disappointed

Frank and the staff are very welcoming, the food is good, plenty of it, and it's a very friendly atmosphere. There is accommodation here for the weary traveller also, a truly traditional pub, with great meal deals to be had.

Traditional service in Georgian splendour. Wonderful meal deals steak and wine wonderful and such imaginative desserts

We called into The George last year and had a very warm welcome by the staff.Meal was freshly cooked and very tasty.We returned this weekend and we're greeted by Frank who recognized us from last year, he came and had a long chat.Would recommend food and drinks, not sure about the accommodation as we weren't staying there but apparently they were fairly full.See you next year Frank.

Beautiful traditional pub;sadly we'd left our camera in the car so didn't take any photos of the building. Friendly,helpful staff. Hot,tasty food. So glad we popped in!

Fabulous & friendly staff. Had the fish platter supper which was lovely, but the place looks a bit tired.

Having now done a couple of pie nights on a Thursday been very impressed with the food, help yourself to roast spuds and veg's - best roast I've had for many years.Good selection of drinks in a comfortable atmosphere.Have now done a Sunday carvery I would recommend the food and home made cheesecake.

A decent pub to go for a quiet drink and a chat with friends and it is family friendly too. I go here most Tuesday nights for meetings and I honestly think it is an asset to Crewkerne.

Have visited the bar on a couple of occasions. Average selection of wine and rather cool atmosphere in general - not really impressive

Had time to kill between viewings so stopped for their Sunday carvery, most impressed with the staff and the food! ☺The place is a bit tired and could REALLY do with some TLC especially carpets but otherwise excellent and good value too. We will be back ☺

The steak dinner for 2 with wine for just £25 was great on Crewkerne's Christmas lights evening. Nice formal (with table clothes) but friendly service and delicious food look forward to having their pie night offer

We stopped off here on a sunday while travelling home from a stay in Chard, and this made a pleasant end to our few days away. The roast pork and accompanying veg and gravy were all delicious, and we could not resist the tempting deserts. The service was very good too.

We now eat here regularly after switching allegiance from another local pub. Good food, especially two rump steaks and a bottle of wine for £25 on Fridays and Saturdays! True, the decor is a bit dated, but it is a very old Inn with a lovely hamstone exterior. The waiting staff are extremely friendly and helpful, as is the owner/chef. Long may it prosper.

My wife and I called in for lunch on a wet Monday.The restaurant a bit dated but it was warm and clean.It was not busy so the service was good. The staff were willing and helpful.They offered a pensioners menu which indicates the clientele that were being catered for at lunchtime. We both ordered the home-made "Turkey and Stuffing" pie.This was misnamed.It should have been called "Stuffing and Turkey" pie.Both portions had an awful lot of stuffing with two small cubes of Turkey in each.The chips were good.

Good reviews on line. I had the lamb shank which was lovely and hubby had the pie, which had rave reviews. He was not disappointed. We sat in the bar rather than restaurant, as suggested when when we ordered, as refurbishment work was going on and they didn't want us to be disturbed. Really good service and excellent food.

Good, tasty we'll priced food. Beer not to expensive and well kept, but the interior is so drab and tired. Could do with brightening up. Otherwise all good.

Friendly staff, lovely food and very good value for money. We have been here a couple of times it's consistently good

It's a wine bar. And??? So what? nothing special at all. It's a few drinks with your mates and that's all.

Enjoyed a lovely Christmas Dinner at the George. Good food, excellent service and great atmosphere all went to ensure we had a lovely stress-free Christmas dinner. Thank you to all at the George that helped to make a very memorable day.

This place is a bit dated, so much so it's rather like walking into a time warp. I visited with a friend recently on what was described as a "Pie Night" and have to say that the food was excellent if a little basic.The portions of pie could have been larger but were nonetheless adequate, but a larger choice of veg would have improved the meal over all.The coffee was served in a cafetiere but there was not enough for each of us to have a second cup.Whilst I would rate this place as no more than average, I have to say that it has no pretensions about itself and I would definitely visit again.

We stayed here for 2 nights when visiting family nearby. The hotel rooms are across the street from the bar and the noise from the bar was quite loud until late so I don't recommend this hotel for a light sleeper. We had an en-suite room with a double & a single bed. The room was nice just a little dated. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful.

The george hotel looks lovely from the outside until you walk in. The furniture is dark brown and looks very dated giving it a really dreary atmosphere as does the rest of the place. could be a very lovely place if they spent some money on it. The food is nice though and good value for money with plenty of choice.

Stayed here for 2 nights for a friends wedding nearby. (Haselbury mill- about 4 mins drive). £70 a night. It's got that quintessential 70s fawlty towers feel to it, with horrendous patterned carpets and embossed plated signage- but, despite the drab, it was spotlessly clean. We had the twin room, as, on booking, it was all that was left- but, we were pleasantly surprised to see that this was a double bed and a single bed. We also had the non-en suite bathroom, but this was literally just opposite the door to the room, and had its own key lock that you're given so its only you using it. Again, very clean, just needs a face lift, as had one of those minging black loo seats on it you find in public loos. The shower was awful, it was so weak I'd have got wetter standing in the rain, but hey ho, it's an old building and luckily I'd allowed enough time to shower for twice as long! The bed was uncomfortable, quite a thin mattress, which didn't bother me as I'm quite small, but my bf is 15 stone, so just felt the boards underneath. I slept well though- just don't expect to if you're heavy. Sink/tea/coffee facilities in room, and hairdryer, all worked well. We were woken by a lorry in the street outside at 7.30am (bank holiday Monday) which was annoying as I was hungover from the wedding... But I guess you're in a town location. Go to a b&b in the middle of no-where if you want total silence. Breakfast was standard fayre- I had the veggie breakfast which I thought was lovely. We met the chef who's charming, all the staff are very friendly :)All in all, a nice place to stay if you're in the area, but you're not paying 5*, so don't expect 5*!

We stayed here for a wedding in a nearby town (for somerset standards at least!). Its a fairly average inn in terms of accommodation (over the road from the bar), however it was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very tasty and the manager was friendly and seemed relaxed about drinking after midnight. We only were here for one night but very decent option

nice atmosphere tasty food and very good service, and its near where we live ie so handy we send guests too
