The Millingbrook Restaurant in Forest of Dean

We are on holiday in England from the Netherlands, happened to drive past the George Inn, and decided to eat there. Good choice, delicious food and good, friendly service. We went there for dinner for a second time. Once again delicious food, and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Went for Sunday lunch. The food was very nice, but the service was appalling ... the waiting staff all appeared to be teenagers, and seemed absolutely clueless, which is a shame, because they were very friendly. The pub has apparently been taken over, and all the staff are new, but they definitely should have received more training before they were thrown in the deep end. We could hear a few complaints from other tables near us, and they are in danger of losing trade if they don't make improvements.

We came here to watch some football and have a meal while we were on holiday. The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. The food was lovely, we would definitely recommend it.

Popped in for some dinner on a recent visit to the Forest of Dean, really nice old pub exactly what we like serving pub grub, burgers, pasta etc. Staff were really nice and accommodating. Food was plentiful large portions and fairly priced, we weren't disappointed or blown away hence the score, but if we were walking past again we would stop again for lunch or a dink.

The George Inn is a typical country pub/restaurant set in a small village called Aylburton. It serves good, home-made food, the Sunday carvery is particularly comprehensive and tasty. Food prices are very reasonable, as are the drinks. The owner and staff are very friendly and efficient, and cater to all your needs. All in all, a place worth visiting, and which is a place you would want to frequent.

Called Thursday lunchtime after a bit of shopping in Lydney, we enjoyed an excellent lunch of Fish and chips in comfortable relaxed surroundings. Food was hot and tasty reasonably priced and we will be using it again without a doubt on our trips from Cinderford . Many thanks

Loved this place, I stayed for 3 nights on buisness. The Food on offer here is 5 star, mouth watering both in the evenings and for breakfast. Staff made me feel welcome.

Exactly the same high standard of excellence. Brilliant Sunday roast. Highly recommended to all. Delicious.

Traumhaft leckeres Essen in netter Atmosphäre. Wer über die verschiedenen Speisekarten normal/vegetarisch/vegan/glutenfrei hinaus etwas sucht, für den lohnt sich ein Blick auf das Board mit den Tagesgerichten. Insbesondere ist die Curry Night donnerstags zu empfehlen. Für unsere Kinder war sie die Krönung. Eine Tischreservierung ist zu empfehlen.

I stayed here for 2 nights and had two evening meals in the restaurant and well as breakfasts. All the meals were excellent ,and they bore the distinct hallmark of good, sound home cooking. Portion sizes were huge, and my appetite these days is not large, so there was certainly no way I could eat all that I was served, either at dinner or breakfast. There was a real touch of originality to some of the menu, mixed as it was with several standard favourites, and in particular the apple crumble, with a sugary topping, was just amazing. All the food was first class, as was the service. I would highly recommend this venue.

Always go for a meal when visiting the area. Decor is lovely and it looked particularly nice decorated for Christmas. Food excellent, as ever. Scampi and accompaniments delicious. One friend had a burger which was excellent. At a loss at some of the comments on here, but suppose we aren't all the same. Will visit again next April when I'm back in the area. Oh did I mention the chips are perfection!

Stopped here on way back from day out at Forest of Dean on a few weeks back. Hadn't booked but as we arrived early they accommodated us in the restaurant area (only couple tables in small bar area which were taken). Lady behind bar (landlady?) was helpful but didn't come across as overly friendly. Food offerings are standard pub fayre at standard prices. The lasagne was interesting as it possibly had a layer of pesto under the cheese toping which gave it a rather strange taste which might not be to everyone's liking. No homemade garlic bread; just frozen pre cut baguette slices which you can buy in the shop for £1 tray. Chips were very good though! The pub is pretty old and has some lovely exposed wood beams etc which are hidden behind some dubious 'tat' decor which has no obvious connection with a pub or resturant. Can only assume that the owners think it looks more homely. Over all meal was fine but didn't wow us and was what you would expect at the prices charged. The old adage of 'you get what you pay for' springs to mind. Would we visit again? probably not.

Rude owner..........it's a shame as the food is okay, but not a patch on the Globe, the owner really spoils this pub................

The food is well cooked and certainly a good plateful (remember starters are starters). You will not go hungry here. Plenty to choose from. Child friendly. Sunday carvery is fabulous (booking well ahead is essential). Various flavoured gins and local ales to sample.

Called in For a Sunday Lunch , We had not booked a table as we were just passing through. We were made very welcome and shown to our table. The Beer selection was a bit limited. Their Sunday lunch was a carvery, Meats were Turkey gammon & Beef. Good selection of vegatables to choose from and the only let down side was the roast potatoes , which look to be like Miss millies.frozen potatoes Everything else was very good

I've already written a review under the George Inn title and maybe the review should have gone here instead! TripAdvisor can move it over if they like! (note to TripAdvisor: this is in Aylburton, not Lydney!) Great food, ale, service, the lamb skewers were delicious. They were very happy to make changes to the dishes we chose to meet our tastes. Can't fault it, except to say why not make more area available to diners with well-behaved dogs?

We received a warm welcome and enjoyed a nice meal, very fairly priced. Very well cooked,even my peas were delicious. A good range of beers and wines. A bar area with TV which is separate from dining area. More space than is immediately visible. Well worth dropping in, whether for a quick lunch or three course meal.

What a find. Popped in with a child, a teenager, a picky adult and a gluten-avoiding adult and everyone came away happy. Big portions from an extensive, interesting menu, nice quality food and staff who said Yes no matter what weird and wonderful variation from the menu we requested. Nice decor. Truly can't think of a single downside to our visit.

I had a seafood pasta dish which was very nice. Service was friendly. Restaurant had a nice cosy atmosphere.

I'm always looking for an good place to have lunch with friends and The George did not disappoint. On entering I noticed that it was extremely clean and well kept. I was served immediately at the bar and although they didn't have what I initially wanted I was presented with numerous alternatives from an extremely friendly and helpful member of staff. On going to the bar a second time the member of staff was on a business call but, without any hesitation, she placed the call on hold to serve me and gave me her full attention. That signals great customer service to me as it placed me at ease knowing that she was not flustered at all by having her call interrupted.

A family run pub which has everything. Log Fire, great food, great beer which is topped off by a really great atmosphere.

What a lovely place this is. We were on holiday in the area and on our only rainy day decided to come here for lunch. We were welcomed even though there were six of us and we hadn't booked. The service was very good the menu was extensive so, apart from two of our party having the pulled pork sweet & sour, we all tried something different. Every one of our group said how wonderful the food was. A great place to eat.

A really wonderful pub. Our first holiday away with a new baby and dog meant we were rather apprehensive about how it would go. We turned up here for our first meal out and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The food is fantastic and the landlord was so kind and supportive. A huge thankyou from us for making it such an enjoyable evening. Highly recommend in every way.

This is one of our favourite places to eat - the food is amazing. The portions are huge, so you may have to pace yourself if you want dessert, but it's worth it - the puddings are fabulous, especially the cheesecake.

Food amazing nice and friendly people here I would defo recommend. Restaurant nice and cosy good atmosphere

Last visit, about a year ago, was perfect and the same this time. I love the decor and the outside is very pretty and welcoming but it is the food which is the main reason for coming here. 4 of us had excellent food, so beautifully cooked and presented. I see from previous reviews some people complain about the time taken after ordering. I'm sure this is because it is freshly cooked. It is so worth the wait.

good quality my husband had mixed grill said it was good I had chichken gougons they were good as well

Mi marido y yo tuvimos el almuerzo en el restaurante ayer y quedamos muy satisfechos con el servicio y la comida. Ambos ordenados sobresaliente que incluía huevos, piña, aros de cebolla, tomate, guisantes, ensalada de col y las mejores patatas fritas jamás que servían por separado. Sin duda volveremos.

Sehr gutes Abendessen. Das Essen war sehr schön angerichtet und geschmackvoll. Schön eingerichtet und nette Bedienung. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.

Almorcé aquí con mi hermana en un jueves.

Me fui con mi familia en un miércoles. Llegamos temprano en la tarde, ya que teníamos dos niños en nuestro grupo

Very nice. Rooms are comfortable and staff are pleasant. The lodge is in a small village which is really pretty. Good value for money.

This is a great country pub and restaurant, I stayed here for about 2 weeks. Ate here on many nights, and the food was always excellent. Good selection of beers also. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. And the service from all the staff was first class. The cooked breakfast here deserves a special mention in my opinion. Great!If I have business in the area again i will certainly return.

Thank you for today after our terrible experience at the cross. Highly recommended, food and service always great. Never had a bad meal yet. Thank u again.

I dropped in here with my wife and daughter on a recent Sunday lunch at just after noon. I was on the way back to Bristol from the Forest of Dean and this visit was on the off chance. Although we hadn't booked I could see that it was busy but the staff were accommodating and squeezed us in. We had a table for just over an hour, which was ample, and all had the carvery.There was a good choice of meats, all freshly cooked with an excellent selection of vegetables and loads of gravy and sauces and stuff. The food was lovely, particular credit being due for the lovely crispy parsnips. I am used to the greasy soggy efforts elsewhere but these were really top drawer.Service was good and no nonsense. I would definitely return if in the area again.

Service was good, the waitress was helpful about our food choices. The food arrived promptly and I can recommend the poached peaches for dessert.

It's the second time I've stayed in the last couple of months and feel I need to comment, I highly recommend this as a place to stay, the rooms are clean of ample size with everything you need to enjoy your stay, I've stayed in 3 of the rooms and each one was as comfortable as the other, I will definitely be returning in the new year

Best Sunday carvery we have had in a long time, they were very busy but could accommodate, and all for £8.95! Brilliant.

Good homemade,tasty food just visited this restaurant as we are on a short break in the area. Would recommend the Nannies Cottage pie it was very tasty, filling and definitely homemade unfortunately I couldn't manage a dessert but my husband did he had ever the cheesecake which he said was lovely. Good food in a nice setting.

On holiday and decided to go The George Inn for an evening meal out. Tasty homemade food, friendly staff and a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Would recommend for families or large groups. Definitely come here again next time. Free Wi-fi also.

Lovely food in a lovely peaceful restaurant. Not really child friendly, but if you eat early should be OK if kids are a tad noisy.

Was recommended the George for evening meal when nowhere open to eat in Lydney!!!!! Loved it. The decor is gorgeous, good atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is amazing, the Chicken stack very plentiful, chips best I've had in years and the risotto tasty. Plenty of parking and lovely flowers, making the outside vey attractive. What's not to like. Will definitely visit again when I'm next in the Forest and so will my friends who were with me from Gloucester.

The restaurant gave a good menu choice for us, I loved the chicken tikka and Jambalaya, my wife really appreciated the baked camembert and lasagna with a reasonably priced wine. No room for sweets! A friendly and efficient service, not rushed and a bubbly atmosphere around us. Wish it was in my area, cask ale was tiptop for me.

After some years absence I returned to this part of the world on business. I remembered how good this restaurant used to be, so thought I would give it a go and see if it had changed. It had. It was excellent before, and now it is even better.Chicken Tikka bites were my choice for the 'healthy option' starter, they were plentiful and tasty. The seared salmon with couscous was an excellent choice. It was a very good size portion, moist and flavoursome. Didn't have room for desert, but if I did, I would have gone for one of their excellent home made cheesecakes.The prices were all very reasonable, the staff were all happy and friendly, and the decor was pleasant. Can't wait for another excuse to return to this part of the world again.

Visited on a friday afternoon with family.Nice atmosphere staff were friendly as they aallways are.Lovely varied menu,and a very good variety of drinks to choose from.Good choice of starters,and even a bigger choice of mains.Cannot fault anything about the millingbrook.keep it up.

had lunch here with my wife. We both thought that the food was very good with a reasonable choice. I recommend the Jambalaya.

We booked to eat on a return journey from visiting friends. Had not been in this pub for some years and went because of recommendations. We were pleasantly surprise at the changes to what used to be the lounge and which now incorporates the extended dining restaurant. It is smart and cosy.We were given the table of our choice quickly and the menus and wine list appeared very promptly. The landlady was very welcoming as were the two waitresses and all helpful with descriptions of menu choice.The menu is reasonably priced and quite extensive. I chose the 12oz gammon and was asked if I was happy with pineapple and egg and said I would prefer 2 eggs....no problem1 My wife ordered lasagne with garlic bread.We chose a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc (there are 2 on the menu) it was very reasonable at £13.50 and was very good. Very passable and would choose again. It was the cheaper of the 2 Chilean Sauvignon. Blancs the other being £14.50.Despite the restaurant being quite busy although it was still early evening the food came within 20 minutes. My meal was superb with just right eggs and a nice piece of gammon and lovely onion rings. The chips were served separately and rank among the best chips ever in a pub!!!! and I eat out A LOT. My wife's lasagne was HUGE with 2 large slices of garlic bread and a side salad. Her comment was "It is just how I like it and really really good. Needless to say she couldn't finish! The chips were so good I overate!!Congratulations to The Millingbrook Restaurant... we will be back

Absolutely lovely menu and specials board, the food is cooked beautifully and menu varied, lovely wine on beer on tap.

Great for my family, Quality food, I would recommend the lasagne, the food is cooked on the premises and is as good as any restaurant you will find in the forest of dean (I haven't found better) really polite service with a lovely interior to the building, kids out door play area etc wonderful service! They do a brilliant roast on Sundays which my mother loves when she comes down from London

Delicious pub grub with plenty for children. Great range of locally-sourced products presented well with interesting choices. Local ales and good wine list. Friendly and cosy.

Lovely food at realistic prices, excellent beer and a quick hike/cycle ride home. We really can't ask for more in a local pub. Thank you.

food not as good as thought, service slow and unfriendly, we had the Gammon and the Steak both very chewy and tough

This is the second time we have visited the restaurant and stayed at the lodge and once again we were not disappointed. The restaurant is cosy and menu is great, would happily eat everything on there.The chef makes a simple lasagne taste WOW!! and as for the cheesecake, exactly as we remembered and a must for everyone.We are soon moving to the area and we will definitely be visiting regularly. The service was great and really can't fault the food. Far exceeded our expectations and our friends that we bought loved it too.Breakfast was also great with a great selection and range for a good price.Thanks for another great stay!!

The food would get 5 starts. But found the service extremely slow and the staff a bit rude. We were stood at the bar 5 mins one of the staff seen us stood there, but ignored us. Real shame as food is really good. I recommend getting some decent staff. As it's the people that make the place.

Would not recommend to anyone unless they want to stand in dog muck while getting out their car left by the owners pets which they are full aware of as they take them out on leads.Also very unwelcoming, rude staff with absolutely no customer service skills.

My stay at this lodge was some what extended and ended up staying over four months due to work commitments. I must stay i was treated as though I was part of the community family even. Warm pleasant welcome made to feel special, and it's not often you get that these days. The food is the best, specials board changing all the time always something new to try. We (a work colleague and I ) even sat down to a Christmas dinner with some of the staff which now I'm happy to call friends. We were even asked if we wanted anything that wasn't on the menu and they got it in for us. So I'd like to say a very big thank you to Ian&Carol and all the staff brilliant xx.

Came for a meal with my partner and friends wed night.. Had a lovely meal.. I had duck, my friends had a mixture of steak, risotto, gammon & stack was all amazing, we all finished our plates. Ended up doing quiz.. fantastic atmosphere and great night at the George. Would definetly recommend and will definetly be returning again soon :)

Whilst travelling through Gloucester we stopped for lunch. The pub restaurant is situated in a small village overlooking the Severn estuary,a very pleasant area suitable to walking off the pudding.My husband had chicken in a tarragon sauce with roast vegetables and new potatoes. I had taco pull pork boats with salad and chips. We both had coffee and Cointreau creme brulee with tiramisu ice cream.Our meals were well prepared and delicious. The staff were pleasantly chatty yet unobtrusive.The real ale was well kept and poured correctly'The decor is modern rustic.We will definitely call again when we are in the area.

I have eaten here a few times now and have never left disappointed, great selection and great taste.

I had the best meal ever at this place, had a starter of garlic mushrooms that was a disappointment, didn't taste of garlic, that wasn't value for money.I ordered the jambalaya, it was superb, the meal was worth the visit

The George is split into two sides - the restaurant area is L shaped and they have a good menu choice and the home made food is very good.

We regularly come here as we live nearby. The food here is excellent. The beef burgers are homemade, fresh and very nice. The chicken goujons are also very delicious. The staff are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend eating out at this restaurant if you are nearby.

Always one of our favourite places to eat and on this occasion the experience was exceptionally good. Love the decor and ambience and the service was perfect, prompt but not rushed and with a smile. The food was delicious too!

I stayed here for 2 nights with work and ate in the pub on both occasions. The bedroom was fine and a good price - breakfast was a little limited (I don't tend to eat cooked stuff) but totally fine. What made this place better than similar places was the food - home cooked, good portions, really nice and a good price. Really nice and helpful waiting staff too. I would recommend the cottage pie.

As I work away a lot with my job,I've stopped at a lot of different places and I must say this place stands out as one of the best.Ian and Carole and all the staff are all very welcoming, The accommodation is very good and the food well can't wait for my next meal it's so nice ☆☆☆☆☆.If I was to come to this neck with my wife I would not hesitate to book here it's great.

great, cheap and different food. large portions although restaurant gets full fast. well worth the visit.

Thank you all again for a very nice lunch yesterday, we all thoroughly enjoyed it, nice food, ambience and service

We happened upon the restaurant whilst we were holidaying in the area. A great find. Staff were so welcoming given that we were a party of 10 and had not booked. Very refreshing to see a full menu for vegetarians given that there were three in our party. The food was superb and my young son commented that his cottage pie was the best he had ever tasted.

Firstly i would like to say thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for having us. I booked the venue in advance so as not to be disappointed and we were not, the food was spot on, the staff were really friendly and helpful and the cost was not costly. Have to say myself and all my family that attended enjoyed it from start to finish sand we are already looking forward to going here the next time.

Estabamos alojados allí y decidimos cenar un dia, la verdad es que no esperas la calidad de los ingredientes y elaboración de la comida. Cantidad más que suficiente y buena atención. Precio como en todo el Reino Unido, tirando a caro. Recomendado!!

My partner and I took my mother for lunch here the first week in JuneI must say it was all very nice in there, good food which was served and presented well.Will definitely visit again

Very nice and relaxed restaurant atmosphere with pleasant staff.The food and drink were of a high standard.

We came here for a meal last week and returned here yesterday for the Sunday Carvery. The food is exceptional, great value and the staff really look after you. It really is the best meal I have had in the area and will be returning next week I'm sure.Don't miss the Reese's Peanut Jar dessert!

We went here for the Sunday carvery and it was excellent. The potatoes and parsnips were beautifully crispy. Excellent value for money. The kids enjoyed the fish tank!

This pub/restaurant gets very busy at lunchtime on Sundays, so i would advise pre booking. The food is served as a carvery with a choice of meats. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is excellent.

My mother, daughter and husband booked a table for Mothers Day meal and as there were two sittings we opted for the first sitting, so had to be there for twelve thirty. There was a good choice of meat, ham, beef, turkey or pork. Two of us had Pork, one had turkey and the other beef. A little disappointingly the pork and beef where a little chewy but the turkey was delicious. A comprehensive selection of vegetables which were very nice and appropriate sauces. We all opted for desserts which were reasonably priced and very nice with a jug of cream to add to the enjoyment. All in all an enjoyable experience.

We stayed at The George Inn and Millingbrook Lodge about 4 years ago and were impressed by the friendly family welcome, service and food so decided to stay for 3 nights along with some family and friends for a special birthday.We had a great time. The menu is varied and fresh including vegetarian dishes all served piping hot and we had 11 in our party on the Saturday evening. Good selection of reasonably priced wines.The accommodation is clean and very comfortable and spacious and we had room for our large dog with his cage in our ground floor room. My elderly parents stayed in the other room with the wet room bathroom and were very comfortable too.

The food was just amazing. The choice was excellent. The fact the meat is from a local butcher makes the difference. My partner had a burger which smelt so good the people next to us changed their order to have one. It tasted delicious. I had a steak which was perfectly cooked. Lovely friendly atmosphere. Just what I like in a pub-grub type restaurant.

We went here for my birthday meal as we were staying at a nearby hotel. The meal was fantastic, freshly cooked and the staff were amazing. The pub itself did have a bit of a local pub for local people feel to it, but the restaurant is set away from the bar, and that gives enough privacy while you are eating, I would recommend this very highly if your looking for a meal.

Have been here for lunch a few times and once for dinner. Sandwiches, burgers and paninis are very good, love that you can have 3 fillings with no extra charge. All come with chips, good price. Our evening meal was lovely, lasagne was amazing, homemade and a huge portion! The duck was also good with lovely fresh vegetables. We shared a dessert of chocolate brownie, I don't usually! Good job we did as it was massive! Only one little thing as a negative is the manager is a little grumpy!

Lovely pub to visit for both food and drinks. Took some friends here for a catch up amd we have a great time. Food is lovely and the staff are friendly.

As regulars we rate this "local" for it's friendly atmosphere, it's well presented menus, it's good value, but it is a "local" and not restaurant in the true sense. That said their curry nights on Thursday are excellent with a beer and curry deal although a few more madras dishes would be welcome. As curry nights perhaps a tad mild !

I booked in advance so our table was waiting for us. The service was prompt and attentive, there was a carvery , which had everything you could want, turkey, beef, and gammon, plus roasties, veg, and all the trimmings. The food was delicious, and so was dessert. I had apple crumble with custard, my husband had sticky toffee pudding, and my daughter had lemon meringue pie with ice cream. All in all a lovely meal. Not my first time at The a George, but first for my family and they were both very pleased.

On a very busy mother’s day, we had excellent service, good food from the carvery andLovely Easter table. We were pleasantly surprised to see the bill too.Would definitely come again.

Lovely looking pub from the outside and reasonable atmosphere. We ordered the Katy Burger which sounded like it might have a personal touch but what arrived on the table was shocking. The meat in the burger was clearly reconstituted, the beet root in the salad literally had mould growing on it and the chips were greasy yet underdone - it was stomach turning. You'd expect more from such a well awarded pub. Very disappointing.

My partner and I had planned to eat out for the evening but also decided to combine a night away. The George Inn includes adjacent lodges which were clean, well presented. warm and echoed reviews we had previously read from another site about Customer Service, it is impeccable!! The locals are also very friendly. The food is equally commendable, we both ordered the king prawn starter, cooked in garlic butter and drizzled on top of ciabatta bread and included a balsamic spinach salad, 'heaven on a plate'. For the main, my Partner ordered the burger and was given a choice of stilton or cheddar for inside. For me, it was the chicken with mushroom in a wine madeira sauce both were well presented,succulent and extremely tasty, my hat off to the chef. The full English breakfast was fresh and plentiful, there was also cereals, yogurts, and fresh fruit available. This is an absolutely delightful place to dine and sleep and we would both definitely go back again, thank you for being such wonderful people.

I had a lovely fish and chip lunch with my dad here. The service was quick and friendly and a varied menu.

One of my family members booked a meal here , they send me over the menu and I thought that the food would be of similar standard to a pub grub but no I was surprised and wow the food .. The burger was presented in a professional wrap , a little flag and with a well sized portion of chips and salad . the steaks were full minimal fat and cooked to perfection , all of the over food our table sampled was of the same quality Lasanges , steaks , pies , burgers , chicken dishes , gammon lots of homemade feasts and a majority were priced at only £10 a meal , for the size and quality I would of expected a smaller dish that had been reheated. No this wasn't the case at the George , everything was freshly made , the salad was green , veg was fresh etc my review could go on but I would recommend this establishment to friends , family and business colleagues. Rustic location , service with a smile , lovely food and all for a reasonable price ! Thanks the George inn for a pleasant meal

Excellent serviceExcellent foodGreat locationWent to the George inn last night and have been various times I cannot give this place nothing but praise . The food was of a good quality , large portions , all fresh and well presented . We come to celebrate my mothers 50th and the Liley family Ian , Carole and Katy made the visit memorable small things go a long way . The seating , acknowledging the birthday , checking on through the meal is everything is ok , I would highly recommend the George inn for Good quality , reasonably priced food and also some good drinks on tap !!!! Thanks again all 13 were happy with the meal

We visited the George on Monday Lunch time with friends.Excellent meal and we will certainly go there again.

The best service I have experience for a long time. Food was outstanding, staff very attentive and unobtrusive. Lovely family run restaurant.

Very pleasant evening meal here- the menu contains a few surprises - so we had a well prepared Prawn and white wine Risotto along with a dish of Baked Hake with Parmesan crust - the Risotto came with a dish of vegetables which were not over cooked and a bread roll ?? - and the Hake came with an Italian style chopped salad and some big chunky fries.Both dishes were freshly made and very tasty and properly presented - quantities were sufficient.The service was great - really happy and friendly responsive girls and the local bitter Butcombe was exceptional.This is a family style restaurant/pub and it was reasonably busy for a Monday evening - there is a welcoming atmosphere overall and it was a very pleasant evening meal experience overall.

Called in Saturday evening for a meal with friends, the meal was excellent service was also good, prices very reasonable, so good we returned there on Sunday for Sunday carvery lunch, that was also to the same standard as the Saturday. Highly recommended

We ate here on Saturday afternoon. The staff were very friendly. I had the chicken and chorizo pie and mash potato and this was very tasty. The top of the pie was perfectly cooked and the chicken was well cooked too.The mash potato was creamy and buttery and such a large potion that I could not finish it. My husband had the scampi and chips which he said was nice. The apple crumble was nice and the custard was thick and creamy. Overall very good food, ample parking and reasonably priced.

We had a fantastic meal this evening and would wholly recommend this establishment. The sea bass was a dream to savour, the lasagne was Devine and the fish cake and mozzarella was just superb.

Went for a Saturday night meal with family and was pleasantly surprised. We all ordered different meals - my sister even asked mix and match of different meals, the waitress checked in the kitchen and they were fine with that. So we had a good varied selection on the table, fish, steak and pasta, everybody was very happy with their food; I had a (giant) rump steak and it was fabulous, very generous portion and the Stilton sauce was absolutely delicious. Further to this, the service was great, we had a baby with us and they were very accommodating. Will definitely return.

On a recent visit to the Forest of Dean to visit my father we made the usual trip to Lydney and stopped for a meal at "The George Inn" at Aylburton on the A48. Everything about The George Inn is positive, a spotlessly clean pub serving excellant ales and wines and excellant food. This pub is real value for money with a first class menu to suit everybodys taste.If ever you are driving along the A48 as you leave Lydney in the direction of Chepstow look out for this charming little pub on the right hand side. It has large car park and plenty of seating and is a very warm and cosy place to stop for a lunchtime or evening meal and drink, with excellant staff. My car cannot pass the George Inn without pulling into the carpark.

The staff here really make you feel welcome. A very good range of beers and wines. Atmosphere is good for a country inn/ pub. The food is excellent with a good local menu.

A real olde worlde pub. Realy good freshly cooked food at reasonable prices. We [four of us] could not have enjoyed it more.The seafood platter was superb.If you are in the forest of dean area,we were staying at the Speech house hotel[See my review] give yourself a treat have a meal at the George

This was an ideal place to eat following a long journey which was a few steps away from our accommodation. The food was good value and basic pub food. The staff were very good although they were rushed off their feet as it was so busy. The cooked breakfast was good value.
