On the day we visited The Old George Inn restaurant it smelt of dogs, as they accept dogs. We will never go to the The George Inn again.

This was my first time in the Old George. We were there for a surprise 70th Party birthday party. The food was excellent and professionally presented for our group of 20 on time (all pre ordered) along with great service. We were all made to feel welcome by the staff and locals. There is a good selection of beers including real ales. This little gem is worth a try.

Really nice pub! Amazing food, you can tell the young chef loves his job. Good made with love: we had mushroom soups and coq au vin, way better than any average place in London. Quality of service and atmosphere, keep doing what you are doing!

Perfect little pub. Quiet. Good music in the back ground. Good food, fast service. Lovely greeting from gent at the bar, very friendly, definitely recommend a visit. We ordered chicken burger and fries. The chicken was real chicken breast slices and seasoned well.. very surprising as we expected reformed breaded chicken burger . Food perfection.

A lovely Sunday lunch. Just there in time after our visit to Hitchin Lavender fields. Don't get out much these days because just like everyone else we've had to tighten our belts so this was a friendly, welcoming place for a spot of lunch. Highly recommend the roast beef.

Had a really nice lunch of sausages & mash and the day's special of chicken thighs with parmentier potatoes. Everything was delicious. It may cost a couple of pounds more than your average pub but the generous portions and quality of the ingredients were well worth it. And everything was topped off by a friendly barman. Will definitely be back again.

We used to love going to the Old George, especially for their Sunday roast. However we found that over the past few months their prices have increased a lot. We went last week and we spent over £30 per person for a roast and a pint, which seems excessive. The food was lovely, but the portions were a bit scarce, especially for the vegetables, only a few green beans and a couple of potatoes. It's a shame, we love the place but it's now quite expensive for what is being served.

This is a lovely pub, the staff were friendly. Unfortunately the Sunday lunch we had today was poor. The beef was over cooked, the cauliflower in the cauliflower cheese (extra charge) was undercooked with a waterery sauce. Worst of all were the burnt Yorkshire puds, which were inedible. We did mention this to the waitress who said she would get some more, but seemed to forget about us. We will not be returning.

A lovely pub with pleasant staff. Bought drinks and sat outside. It was a sunny autumnal day. Most people preferred the outside space. All tables were 2 metre apart and it was good to see everyone obeying the 2m rule. Ordered Beer battered fish served with pub chips, tartare sauce and crushed peas. It was very tasty. However, the homemade shawarma, marinated Lamb, meditatenean salad and a tzatziki dip with fries was a disappointment. It looked and tasted very dry with little or no sauce. We told the waitress, she apologised and didn't have much to say. In as much that the meal was bellow par, I will visit the pug again but will ensure to avoid the home made shawarma.

Not the best - stuck us in a very cold part of the pub, and it was cold enough that we all commented we should have brought coats with us. Staff forgot what we’d asked for a few times and we had to ask again. Roast was alright, but not amazing. Disappointing when they only do a limited Sunday roast menu (as it’s all they offer you expect it to be good). I had the hog in the hole and the Yorkshire pudding was soggy and the pork belly wasn’t brilliant. Maybe we just caught them on an off-day.

Not a big deal - next time we'll make it clear that we want the coffees to be served after all the food.

The Old George is a really cosey pub in the lovely village of Ickleford right next to the church. They put on an excellent afternoon buffet for 20 plus people and have helpful friendly staff. The only negative is that wheel chair access was difficult but then the pub is not called The 'Old' George for no reason.

Visited Aug2019. Good food, well cooked, large portions. Fair value for money. Range of drinks is fair, for a corporate chain pub. ----- Visited Aug2020 upon response from the venue that new management has taken over. Great food, well cooked, huge portions. Wide range of drinks (beers, wines and spirits). Superb value for money. The standard is high enough for corporate entertaining in small groups. Today's menu review: Selection of British charcuterie with piccalilli and country toast (GBP 10 as at Aug2021) Haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce (GBP 14 as at Aug2021). The charcuterie: a large plate of cold meats, each with its own clear and distinct flavour, served with rocket, a couple of small gherkins and half a pickled walnut (I think) (underneath the greenery) (it was nice, whatever it was). The piccalilli is strongly savoury, slightly peppery with balanced acidity that meets the fat in the meat. The country toast is brittle, crunchy and malty. The white bread shown in the pic is part of another starter (bread with olive oil and thick, syrupy balsamic vinegar, bread served warm GBP 3). The haddock: a fresh fillet of haddock, superbly steamed in its cocoon of brittle, crumbly, caramelised batter. The flakes of fish simply slide and ooze off eachother as you gently push your knife down onto the fish through the opened batter. The chips are soft and, note carefully, skins-on: really good idea, adds to the flavour holds more of the soft texture of the potato (fries were available as an alternative). The tartar sauce is unashamedly bitter, with modest pieces of caper for that brief spike of sourness. Grown-up fish & chips. Afters (not pictured) was two scoops of mango sorbet decorated with a fruit compôte and a strawberry. The sorbet was dense, rich and semi-sweet - as it should be - with noticeable lumps of mango lurking within and a lingering fruit flavour to finish.
