The George Inn in Swale

recently reopened and it's looking ab fab . sadly we was seated in the restaurant when we said we was here for drinks !! we had a warm welcome and a long wait for drinks and it was very quiet .a friend turned up with a dog and obviously was told they can't sit in the restaurant so that had to leave but with our surprise the couple on the next table was aloud to bring there dog into the restaurant. the menu is appealing as we did take a look but there is no pub classics on there what so ever ie fish and chips , burger and chips . we also took the same rounds of drinks and was charge different prices .

This was the first time for many years that I have visited the George. I believe it has recently reopened with new owners after an extended closure. You would not know,it looks and feels as an old English village pub should. I was surprised how quite it was when we arrived but that was shortly after opening time and by the time we left there were a good number of customers in. The welcome was outstanding and the food service excellent. There are two menus a Main Menu which is very much 'GastroPub' offering and a 'Bar Menu' which is also served in their garden. We selected the boar sausage with bubble and squeak which was tasty and enough for a hearty lunch. We did choose deserts from the main menu both of which were very tasty. I will be going again.

This pub has been transformed! The large dining room now looks cosy and stylish. Still areas for relaxing and drinking. The food was gorgeous! A varied and unusual menu of totally home cooked food to a very high standard. Haddock chowder, shin pie, cheese course which came with mouthwatering marinated grapes. Just been taken over and they are doing a great job so give them a try.

Had to ask several times to get a bottle of wine, water arrived immediately but one gentleman had to go to bar to get his beer after long wait. Waitress could not answer any queries about the menu. None of Plant Menu was available unless we waited 20 mins for it to be defrosted. Eventually we all ordered duck which was really tough so returned it. Was offered something else but did not want to wait another 20 mins which we were told be so we paid for drink and left. Having googled Creedy Duck it will be tough if it is cooked on a high heat which presumably what happened even though the Chef said there was nothing wrong with it.

Wow what amazing food we all had at The George on a Friday night in celebration of our friends birthday. It was quite outstanding. V high quality. Great flavours. Great presentation and great ingredients. Michelin star standard. Thank you to the friendly staff too who made the evening very relaxing and enjoyable. Will defo be returning.

My husband treated me to lunch , our first visit to eat here since the pub reopened. The pub is very nicely presented and the staff friendly and welcoming. Our starters were excellent however my main course of baked hake did not meet my expectations, although the fish was cooked beautifully I was disappointed to find it contained 8 bones, yes I did count them, in what was a prepared fillet. Also one of the potato halves had a very obvious black area. I mentioned this very quietly to the waiter and asked him to mention this to the chef and that apart from this the meal was very good.The waiter came back and said the chef apologised but said this was to be expected with fresh ingredients. Well I’m sorry but I grew up in what was a very busy fishing port and have prepared and eaten all sorts of fresh fish all my life and I don’t expect to find bones in a prepared fillet of fish, also the bad area of potato was very obvious and shouldn’t have been served. I felt the implication was that I didn’t appreciate or understand fresh ingredients, yes mistakes can happen in a busy kitchen and a simple acknowledgement of the issue would have been fine and I would have left feeling happy instead of disappointed.

Visited midweek to try out the menu. The George has recently been taken on by the ex-owners of The Square Peg, which had excellent reviews. There is a choice between the bar menu - which offers a variety of small plates, ham & squeak, sausages and mash or fish and chips - and the a la carte. I went with the a la carte, which had a good choice of food. To start, the chicken liver parfait, which was smooth and melted in the mouth - a perfect sized portion with the accompanying sourdough. For main, I had the hake with fennel, tender stem broccoli & Tenterden potatoes. This was a decent sized portion of food, fish cooked to perfection and accompanying vegetables just right. All really tasty. I passed on dessert - partly because I’m not a big dessert eater (although did see cheese is an option) and partly because I didn’t *need* to eat any more - which always makes me happy with as I like to feel that I’m a glutton by eating dessert rather than needing to eat dessert to compensate for portion size. In terms of cost, small plates are £7 each, bar mains £14 - £18, A la carte starters £10 (mushroom pate) to £17 (scallops), mains £19 (beef shin rump pie) to £28 (aged rump cap) and extra sides £6 (I didn’t need to order this). Puddings were, I think, £9 each. Personally, I thought the cost was fine for the excellent standard of food. There is evidence that the new owners are planning some social events in addition to doing food, with a pub quiz planned for early September. If you just want a drink, there is a good range of wine and beer. Staff members were welcoming and accommodating. No complaints and very impressed so far - 5 stars.

The George is a great pub it has changed landlords so many times just recently, It seems they always get the formula wrong, another posh nosh pub, small portions high prices. Extortionate drink prices, thanks to the greed of Shepherd Neme £6.20 for a Guinness is a joke, I would normally have 3 pints over the evening had just the one!! So a loss of revenue straightaway. Service was slow and had to ask for dessert menu, but at £9.00 for a lemon posset we didn’t bother. It’s still a, Village PH but with high end prices locals will use it just the once like us. Bit disappointed.

What a wonderful place to go for a celebration. Friendly staff and volunteers. A comfortable atmosphere. Delicious food and great drinks. Interesting and tempting local pottery and art.

Food took a very long time to come out (an hour after our bread / mezze plates were cleared) but was tasty when it arrived. One plain hamburger came out with cheese on so it had to go back. Burger and chips portions were large in a good way. Risotto portions were a bit meagre. Beware the “optional” 12.5% service charge automatically added to the bill. On the plus side, the bill was itemised properly and there were no accidental additions as so often happens. Overall a lovely pub but service needs to improve to encourage locals to return.

Taking in The George whilst on a post-Christmas family walk. Perfect! Banana milkshakes with Rainbow Sprinkles for the children & coffees & smoothies for the big 'uns. Plus 'Burnt (that's the recipe) French Cheescake, muffins & cookies etc.. What more could you ask!

We had our annual Christmas lunch here yesterday, and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The pub is lovely, with a great atmosphere, even on a wet Sunday afternoon. 11 of us had pre-ordered three courses, and the food was amazing, very tasty and piping hot. We ordered a mixture of everything on the Christmas lunch menu, and there were mmmm's all round ! My salmon was lovely. Everyone we came across was very friendly and welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. Very reasonably priced, they should probably charge more.

Had a lovely Christmas gathering here and delicious food and wine toasy wood burner and great selection of puddings. Good sized portions and great service. Just what you want from a nice pub in the country!

Fabulous lunch, delicious food and very good service. It really doesn't disappoint, a warm welcome and the pub is so cosy and warm and very ‘Kentish’ . We had the sunday lunch menu delicious roast beef and pork belly, quality ingredients cooked to perfection. The dessert was equally good, a warm homemade treacle tart with vanilla ice cream in a brandy basket. Faultless :D

After an amazing fireworks night outside in the garden we decided to back the next day for the late afternoon band. Its a beautiful country pub. Lots of different areas to dine or have drinks. It was pretty busy but great service (drinks only) and with a nice vibe. All the food coming out looked delicious so we will definitely pop back and sample the menu soon.

Living locally we are delighted to see the pub busy with brilliant food. All of the dishes were fantastic, we had the pork belly, fish and chips and the gnocchi and all of the food was lovely, the staff were very friendly and attentive. Also dog friendly which is a bonus. We’ll definitely be back.

The George Inn is an absolute gem! The venue itself is simply gorgeous, exuding charm and elegance. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the impeccable staff – perfect in every sense and radiating genuine friendliness. But the crowning jewel was undoubtedly the food. From the tantalizing starters to the divine dessert, every dish really tasty. Very impressive presentation and quite generous amounts i thought. We left thoroughly impressed and are eager to return. Highly recommend!

Visited this pub for second time since under new management, this time for Sunday lunch. On both occasions we were impressed by the food and the excellent service. There were 4 of us on each occasion and we tried a variety of starters, mains and desserts between us and could not fault any of the dishes. The George is a delightful pub and it’s nice to see it ‘on the up’ again. Will definitely be back again soon.

Went here after hearing it had recently been taken over by people who run another pub nearby which is always excellent. The pub itself is beautiful, fabulous beer garden and plenty of parking. We were however very disappointed with the food. I had the cod wellington which itself was tasty but the creamed potato was very cold, I’d also got the rosemary chips which seemed to have missed the rosemary. My daughter wanted plain steak and chips. She was very clear. It came out with all the trimmings on, so she sent back. Again it came out with garlic confit on the steak, she had to scrape it off as was embarrassing to return again, and we had finished our dinners by then. My main with fries was £29, and her 8oz ribeye steak at £28, so not cheap. My husband had a burger which was fine. Feel this place would be so much better sticking to traditional pub food, rather than trying to be a gastronomic pub, something it’s not living up to.

The George has always been a stunning pub, and now it has the food to match. We had a big dinner party here and everyone was delighted with their meals: steak tender and perfectly cooked, goats cheese roulade insanely tasty, crevettes fresh and delicious and the creamed cabbage side was something else. The staff at The George are charming and eager to please. I thoroughly recommend a visit. It is a wonderful local pub, with a first-class restaurant.

Fantastic atmosphere and excellent food. Such good value for money. We can't wait to go back again this time with all our friends.

Lovely owners and fantastic pub lovely welcome . atmosphere and beautiful decor, amazing food freshly prepared and friendly helpful staff . See you all again soon , Sue daz

Great Night out good pub grub and great friendly staff greatvalue for money its worth the drive to it

The pub staff were great , they managed a group of 10 Ladies, we had ordered in advance . The whole visit was very pleasant, comfortable and well managed. We had a nice table area to the side, it was cosy and comfortable. Well done. Only comment/negative was the desserts are far too big, could be a third of the size....we felt bad wasting !!

Just wow, thank you to Claire & Dave at the George inn Newnham, had a wonderful birthday lunch for my dads 82nd birthday… not only did they give us our own private dining space, they also put a birthday banner up for my dad (he is a regular) I am super fussy about a Sunday roast but wow it did not disappoint.. thank you to you all (front of house & a special shout out to Dave in the kitchen) everyone in our group of 12 had a clean plate.. cannot recommend this place enough 😋 😋 😋

After a long day of walking on our Pilgrimage, our original pub decided to cancel last minute on a pre booked arrangement. We came upon the George Inn and explained our predicament. Although their kitchen was closed the Manager Clare said she would see what her and her staff could rustle up for us. There was 40 or more of us so not a small task! Well the food was plentiful & delicious! The pub itself was clean and had a lovely country feel! The staff were all so lovely and accommodating. I couldn’t believe the effort & ease with which they catered for us. They didn’t need to but they really did go above and beyond and were truly a blessing and testament to kindness to weary travelers! The George Inn will definitely be on our Pilgrims way in the future! Thank you God bless you Clare, Staff and family x

As soon as you walk into this pub you can see the work that has gone into making it beautiful. It's very dog friendly with treats and bowls of water offered every time. The food was beautiful, tasty and at a good price for the quality. Lovely outside garden tucked away from the pub and car park. Was a happy part of our holiday in this area.

Ok , so first thought on entering, there was no atmosphere, dead quiet , young waitress wasn’t sure where to seat us even though it was empty. We ordered the korma, the veggie curry and the lamb tikka, each of the curries had barely any...

We've been to The George Newnham a few times & its always been excellent. However, they really surpassed my expectations this time around. We paid just £15 for a delicious home cooked curry & it included an alcoholic drink. The service was spot on, we'd been greeted well & served by two waitresses who remained attentive throughout our visit. The ambience was so cosy & relaxing, the roaring log fire, candle & traditional charm helping to create just the atmosphere you'd expect. Bring on the next curry night! Oh & we had one non curry eating child in our party & they were given a choice from the child's menu which was also available making an ideal evening for a family.

Such a charming and warm atmosphere with delightful staff. I only wish somebody had checked the condiments beforehand. Fine salt had been placed in the salt mill which flooded my plate with salt (it needs rock salt) and the pepper mill was empty. These should...

We had a family lunch at the George on Sunday - 17 of us. It was fabulous, the food and service was impeccable, and all the waiting staff wore masks, which was pleasing. The atmosphere was warm and so Christmassy. We all had the best...

Sunday roast was amazing. Highly recommended. Sunday special was also tasty but not very filling so will go for the traditional roast in future. Nice pub, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Thank you

We live locally, but had not been to Th George for a while. Pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and cosy ambiance. This was Friday lunchtime, and the place was busy, but not overwhelmingly so. We had steak and kidney pudding, and steak and ale...

Just enjoyed another birthday meal for a group of 10. Everyone enjoyed their meals and in particular both the steak pies and steak and kidney puddings. The desserts were excellent, especially the spotted dick! All the meals came out promptly with no one left waiting...

Couldn't fault anything, we both had pan fried Bass, the skin was crispy and the fish cooked perfect, the flavours were wonderful, carrots cooked perfect and courgette still had firmness to it. The desert was chocolate brownies which again was perfect. This is my 1st...

Enjoyable Camembert but the smallest I have seen and overpriced at £10. Fish and chips was nice but not worth £15 with tiny portion of mushy peas in a dish that sauce is served in. They were very tasty but just not enough. Average service,...

Whilst on a camping weekend with family and friends, we booked for 15 of us to eat here. We've eaten here a couple of times before but way before lock down. It was very well managed, one way system, clear instructions and very friendly staff....

Enjoyed a delicous Sunday roast in the garden at The George. We were made to feel very welcome and relaxed by the friendly staff, helped by all Covid protocols being clearly adhered to. Superb food, would highly recommend.

Another fantastic meal at The George tonight. Wonderful to have it open again. We obviously were out in the garden, due to current restrictions and WOW, what a garden. They have obviously put a lot of effort into making the garden a comfy and welcoming...

Yet another great visit to The George. The atmosphere, live music and service was fantastic. We didn't eat this time, but I wish we had, the food I saw looked fantastic. It is just a shame that the staff had to spend so much time...

Second visit to this lovely pub. We were staying in Whitstable and made the short trip here to eat because the chef understands what gluten free food is. We really appreciated all the different options and the roast was superb. Its lovely pub with a...

Went to The George for a Sunday lunch for 5 of us. During Covid times it can be difficult however 'The George' seemed to pull of, a perfect Sunday lunch. Scotch eggs were great and the camabert was excellent. For main we had the suet...

Fabulous outdoor evening listening to great music provided by Mo and the Backline Ferrets. We danced all evening in our individual bubbles and had a wonderful night. So much hard work by the staff to ensure it was a socially distant event yet still felt...

Great choice on the menu plus daily specials. Everyone had something different and all really enjoyed their choices. Covid guidelines all being followed closely by friendly staff.

A group of us visited here a few days ago and it was amazing. The food is without question the best I’ve had in a pub for a long while! Service is exceptional and friendly, can’t wait to go back! Would recommend to anyone I know!

It's everything - the whole place is oozing with atmosphere, indoors and out. I can't think of a time of year that I wouldn't want to visit The George at Newnham - cosy by the fire in winter enjoying the pub quizzes or listening to acoustic guitar music in the garden as we did last night for dinner. We didn't know there would be music - owner, Claire, told us when we booked and it sounded perfect for a summer evening. No extra charge for the entertainment, they just decided it would be nice for everyone. We had a lovely meal and were chatted to and checked on when the sun came in quite hot - asked if we'd like any shade and given testers of ale to see which we'd prefer. Such attentive waitresses and waiters.A couple of reviews mention the price but it's important to remember you're not just getting dinner - this is a whole, lovely, relaxed evening.The new owners, Claire and Dave, have been the best we've seen at this pub and have turned it into the heart of the village.You must visit, even if you're not a local - you'll be welcomed like one regardless.

We headed to The George on the last Friday in July, the sun was beaming so we were delighted to be shown one of their gorgeous garden tables (which also has the overhead screening to prevent us being roasted!). We got to take in the lovely atmosphere, every table socially distanced, but filled with customers having a fabulous time. The service, as always, was faultless. The food, as always, was delicious! One of our teenage daughters was delighted to discover a ploughman’s! The scotch egg was the best she’s ever had! Daddy agreed! He also enjoyed his ploughman’s. I’ve read some negativity about these but cannot understand it! Hubby and teenager loved theirs, were absolutely stuffed and plan to have it on their next lunchtime visit! I had the BLT with the bacon cooked nice and crispy as per my individual request (when asked how do you like your bacon), my elder daughter had home made fish finger fillets in a baguette which was super tasty, huge and beat her! My youngest had her favourite- kids meal of home made chicken nuggets and chips and didn’t leave a single scrap. We can’t wait for our next visit! It’s our favourite pub for so many reasons! Thank you! See you soon!

I was very apprehensive about going out to dinner with all that is going on, but I have to say I was extremely impressed with the measures The George Inn are taking to keep everybody safe. The food was excellent the atmosphere was great and Claire, Dave and the team very informative, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back soon.

We booked a table in the garden for food. The social distancing and safety guidelines are fantastic. At a time where everything is still so uncertain but we wanted some normality, it was lovely to be out but still feel like we are protecting ourselves. The food was amazing, the diet went out the window with the scotch eggs, so good! The staff were lovely and the actual environment of the garden was so friendly. Thank you for a lovely time!

I booked table at The George for my family after being recommended by a friend. We were greeted by a lovely member of staff on arrival and was taken to our seats in a beautiful setting. Social distancing was exceptional, we had our own little hut which added to the atmosphere. The food was delicious, we all had a lovely time and can’t wait to return. A lovely village pub, offering fantastic food and great service. I would highly recommend. Thanks again!

I went to The George Inn with a friend post lock down and it was our first lunch out so we were both excited having not eaten out since the beginning of March.There was social distancing in place and we had a lovely seat in the garden.We both ordered a Ploughmans and we were both disappointed with it. It was the smallest Plougmans I have ever seen (I'm not a big eater). The bread was a white part baked baguette but where you would expect the whole baguette (it wasn't large) we only got half each (it was also advertised as rustic bread!) The chutney that was described was like Branston pickle, there was a small wedge of cheddar and a small slice of ham which looked like it came out of a packet rather than the thick sliced variety you normally get in a Ploughman's.There was a small side salad, pickled onion and 2 gherkins. The saving grace was half a homemade scotch egg which was very tasty. There was no apple which you normally get and the cost was £13 ! Luckily we were taking advantage of the 'Help out to eat out' scheme otherwise it would've been more than disappointing. We were then looking forward to having a dessert but to charge £8.95 for it was a bit too much for us. I've not seen prices like that for a crumble outside of London! It was a real shame, we appreciate that the food industry has been hit hard due to lock down but to charge such prices isn't great for the long term.

All the food was very overpriced and the quality was not up to standard. Scotch egg taste like a cheap co-op version but was £11.

Pub atmosphere is always friendly & welcoming ideal for families, kids or anyone, even the dog is welcome! We often see cyclists stopping off for refreshments. The Building itself offers everything you need from a quality, country pub. Everything is always clean & the bar is well stocked. A tidy & well kept, large open garden is an additional bonus. Staff are all friendly, attentive & trained.You can see lots of thought goes into catering for everyone's needs, whilst trying to keep the locals happy. The range of events the George has to offer way surpasses expectations. We've attended their Christmas Wreath making evenings, Christmas Fair, Intro to Crystal Healing, Cheese & Wine event, Quiz night & Breakfast to name a few. They also supply quality fish & chips or Pizza to take away. It's very popular so we always book n advance.Food is always served well & cooked to perfection.Pie night was a huge success, best one we've been to.Visited again today, first time since lockdown. Six of us booked one of the booths. It was spaced far enough away from the next one. There is a one way system in place which enabled us to social distance effectively. All staff had masks on. Thank you once again to the amazing team at The George.

Fantastic Sunday lunch with friends today. Excellent food, great staff. Very comfortable and safe. Puddings just wow!

Hi everyone went to the George inn last. Food was absolutely amazing . With what’s going on in the world be rest assured they are really working well with the COVID outside you have your own little quant wicker huts really lovely the owners have made a supreme effort here. All staff wearing mask lots of sanitiser. Playing very safe. Lovely evening.

We visited on Day 2 of the reopening post COVID-19, Claire & Dave have done an amazing job to make it very safe for staff & customers alike. The sharing roasts were AMAZING (as always) and we loved the new garden arrangement with little shelters all socially distanced and the lovely horse box bar. So much hard work and thought has gone into it all. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine and it felt like a glimpse of the world coming back together. Just what we needed, thank you so much!

After waiting nearly 4 months to visit the pub our meal didn’t disappoint. The food was delicious and the lovely little huts we were seated in the garden were great.

I come here when I want a nice lunch or dinner and to enjoy the atmosphere of an old cosy wood burning pub with hops hanging from the ceiling,

What a great wartime atmosphere. The staff were in costume, the pub was decked out with Union Jacks everywhere. Most of the people in the bar and restaurant were either dressed in forces uniforms or the dress of the era. Fantastic 40's music with the odd air raid siren going off. Food was great but simple as you might expect from this period in time. Owners Claire and Dave have excelled and we can't wait for the next theme.

We have visited twice this month! Because it’s soooo good! Both times on a Sunday, both times as a family of 5, both times for the Sunday roast sharing plates! It IS without question the best pub in the Sittingbourne/Faversham area. We love it! Service is always amazing, the food is exceptional (especially the roasts!) and we now consider it our favourite place to go. My daughter has already requested we book it for her 15th birthday in January (I’ll be in touch to book ASAP!)

Came last Sunday for a family roast. Superb food from start to finish. Humous for starters, roast beef and roast chicken for mains, cheesecake and rum and raisin ice cream for pudding. Service was great. Very friendly and welcoming. Will be coming back again in the new year with the rest of the family!

Although it does take a minute or two to journey to this lovely country pub in Newnham , the hospitality and the food & drinks are well worth it! On this occasion I was drinking so I missed out on my favorite lager/ beers but the 0% lager and diet lemonade made up for my loss. Our starters were Mussels in a cream and wine sauce (with bread),and Whitebait, whilst both ours mains were Game suit pudding (which was crammed full to the brim.)

We visited this evening for the very popular steak night and had the tomahawk sharing steak. Quite simply, the best steak I have ever eaten! And I’ve eaten a lot of steaks! Cooked to perfection and full of flavour. Cannot rate highly enough! The syrup sponge pudding was an amazing follow on. Well done The George and thankyou

8 of us had a wonderful meal at The George last night to celebrate 3 birthdays. We ate at a beautifully decorated table in a small area at the front of the pub which felt like a private area. Everyone commented on how good their meals were and my husband and I can vouch for the superb steaks! The staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble. All of which contributed to a lovely evening, thank you!

Just as good as ever, if not better! Warm, cosy, and friendly atmosphere. Excellent food and staff were very efficient and professional. I really enjoyed this nostalgic visit and will return next year without doubt. Well done team!

We reserved a table for the Friday 'Fish & Chip ' special £5.00 We went along with two friends that had eaten there twice recently. The bar staff were friendly, the food was okay and all went well until we got the bill. They had charged full rate for the 4 x fish and chip meals. We questioned this and was told that the offer ended some time ago. Its strange that we enquired about the offer both before we reserved the table and with the waitress that served us. Both said that it was still on. We were saddened by the fact that we did not only attend for the 'special' by in addition had several drinks each plus starter and pudding. We feel a little compromise was in order but none was offered. Such a shame really. As you would expect we will not go back again.

It’s my sons local and we had scummy meal in there as a get together.

Been here a few times now. Excellent food every time (suet pudding is always excellent). Service excellent, a country pub done right.

Rodmersham Green Women's Institute booked a Ploughmans lunch here yesterday.

The beer garden is perfect on a summers day. There is a play area for the children. Food was nice and decor inside the bar/ restraunt area made it feel cosy.

Freshly prepared seasonal food. The seabass and Filet Steak were excellent. Starters try the black pudding scotch egg. Nice desserts worth having even if full from dinner. The pies and suet puds change daily and are sensational

Visited with a group of walkers, we pre-ordered our meals. Everything was efficiently organised for about a dozen people. The staff were very friendly and the food was well presented

We were camping and this was one of the pubs on a walk we did. We were very impressed and went back twice more. Very dog friendly with water and treats outside. Lovely pub garden. We didn't eat here so can't tell you about the food but we loved it.

The present owners have done an amazing job transforming this beautiful pub back to its first class level . Exceptional clean very efficient waitresses the food was first class all cooked to perfection great fresh vegetables and best roast potatoes I’ve eaten in a pub roast for a very long time . This is our second visit since the new owners have taken over and it certainly won’t be the last also the pub garden is immaculate with new climbing frames swings our grandchildren loved it .als great if you are dog walkers or walkers very accommodating with dogbowls provided and even doggie biscuits a lovely pub restored to a very high standard thank you for a great meal see you soon Liz

Had dinner here whilst staying at Hempstead house(see separate review) It's a lovely old pub/log fire /lovely gentle background music(Bobby vinton/everly brothers /dionne Warwick you get tge picture) We started, with warm bread olives and dip The bread was fresh from oven and olives proper ones (kalamarta probably) partner had squid and, whitebait. I had the mussels in ale both very nice. Main course was stuffed chix breast and lamb and mint suet pudding with mash and veg. All cooked perfectly and the accompanying gravy was properly reduced and flavoured no bisto here!! Finished with spotted dick and custard. The waitress was extremely friendly and competent I thoroughly recommend here for a high quality reasonably priced dinner in lovely surroundings. And will be back for sure

My husband and I visited The George Inn with my in-laws this weekend, wow what a gorgeous pub! The pub has a lot of the original features and has a really cosy homely feel to it. It has been decorated beautifully with lots of vintage accessories which I loved! There is a huge garden to the rear which overlooks fields with sheep in, we can’t wait to come back in the summer to sit in the garden!

This rural village pub continues to deliver, in the enjoyable well presented food it serves, good beers and attentive service.

Had a amazing birthday treat today at the new George inn. An Alice themed cream tea. The spread was beautiful with stunning attention to detail. All the cakes and sandwiches were simply delicious and enjoyed by everyone, including my one year old niece who was also catered for with a high chair at the table and a children's knife and fork. Staff always friendly and attentive.

What a perfect little country pub. Nice setting in a small village. Lovely atmosphere and pleasant pub garden. The choice of beers was good - tasty Bear Island pale ale. The menu is great and the food was excellent.

Friday night is fantastic. Fish and chips for £5 and if you are lucky live music as well. Very dog friendly. Biscuits and individual water bowls.

As a musician I visit The George Inn on a regular basis and decided to give the restaurant a go,must say it was excellent,wonderful food and service

My Partner wanted to have a traditional Country Pub Roast

Visited as part of a group of 20 today having pre-booked our food. Everything came out within 5 minutes, all hot and tasty. Will be visiting again.

I was passing with my son when we decided to pop in for some lunch.

Our band with wives visited The George for an evening meal at this lovely old country pub in the village of Newnham. Great choice of food, excellent quality, great selection of ales and lagers, plus wine. Staff very welcoming and friendly.

My partner and I finally managed to visit The George this evening (after a few attempts being disrupted by unfortunate circumstances that could not be helped!) but we are so glad we finally managed to get over for dinner and we were not disappointed!!

This pub and restaurant has had a well needed boost since the new owners have taken over. The food is beautiful and the effort made is obvious. We even had Christmas dinner here, a first for us, and it was slick service and delicious food. The new breakfast addition is fantastic and all meals at any time of the day do not disappoint. Thank you for fabulous well cooked food and a lovely setting.

We just went out for Tuesday night dinner, and had a great meal as well as great service ! With a good varied selection on the Menu.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Great value. Would highly recommend this restaurant and pub. Have been both in the week and weekends. Never disappointed by quality of food and friendliness of staff.

Friendly and cosy atmosphere with lovely decor. The fish and chips are so tasty. Lovely way to spend a Friday night.

This afternoon we had a lovely afternoon tea at The George. We had some tricky dietary requirements but the staff were incredibly accommodating. (We had contacted the pub beforehand to discuss our requests.) The service was friendly; we were very well looked after and feel that the afternoon tea was excellent value for money. We would all thoroughly recommend The George for afternoon tea.

Visited the George for their new breakfast service and was not disappointed! Lovely village pub location, gorgeous decor, lovely staff and amazing food! Enjoyed a full English with poached egg and was evident the produce was fresh and cooked to order by skilled chiefs. Already looking forward to our next visit, highly recommended!

Visited the George for a family meal on Sunday as a table of 14. They managed to get us in last minute which was very helpful. We all had roasts and were so happy with the food. Lovely pub and lovely staff too

Visited the George Inn on saturday 19th for their newley added morning breakfast! What a tasty brekkie and plenty of it!! I had the full english, my partner had eggs benedict, everything was cooked to perfection and service was excellent, well done to the chef and waiting staff...Its clear to see you're really giving 100% effort..will definately be back soon to try your evening meals

Three of us decided to try the George for dinner after hearing that it had been refurbished and had new tenants. We all ordered different dishes: swordfish with chillis and pepper with crushed new pots and green beans which when arrived was swordfish with hardly any chilli, asparagus and sautee potatoes - ok but not what was on the menu. Very average, bought in steak and kidney pudding with a thinish bisto granule gravy and tasteless red cabbage and the worst of all a steak that was supposed to be cooked medium but which turned up grey and dry and looked as if had been vac packed from Iceland, Deep fried, greasy mushrooms and very undercooked chips. The plus side was a very pleasant waitress and the pub looked lovely. However, definitely wouldn't go again unless the food improves dramatically.

Well done. Excellent food, first class service. Been back several times always 100% positive. Will be back again soon

Thanks to all the staff that made Christmas dinner so special .the food was good and the staff interaction was so in keeping with the day .

Visited for lunch today, I had mushroom tagliatelle which was fantastic. Service was excellent, the atmosphere and ambiance was also just what you expect from a country pub. We will be back, well done.

My cousin, who lives locally, and I went to the George on Tuesday last week for dinner. The pub has recently been through some difficult times, with many changes of landlord and a long period of closure but like a phoenix from the ashes it has risen and taken on a new lease of life under the care of David and Claire and their family. It is now a warm and welcoming village pub, with wonderful food and a fantastic ambience. We had superb meals, I chose the curry and a pint, (which I swapped for a glass of red) the curry was a very generous and delicious portion of chicken Jalfrezi, beautifully served with poppadum and mango chutney, my cousin chose the jalapeno and haloumi burger which she loved. The service was friendly, cheery and enthusiastic without being intrusive. There is now a log burner in the fireplace, with two fireside chairs beckoning visitors to sit and warm their toes...a perfect spot for a chilly winter's evening. The George is reborn, live entertainment and other events listed on the board, lovely little touches around the pub to make the place so relaxing, thank you David and Claire and staff for a lovely evening, congratulations on your achievements, we'll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful family Sunday lunch family here. The service was excellent and so friendly and they couldn’t have been more helpful.
