The Royal George Public House in South Somerset

I’m slightly bemused by the other reviews on here. We booked for dinner when visiting the area and am sorry to say the food was awful. I had a fish burger which was two thin fish cakes deep fried to completely dry them out served in a thin soggy burger bun. Then someone thought it would be a good idea to add a couple of rashers of bacon or in this case fat! The chunky chips would have been great if they were cooked. My husband had the steak pie which was a large vol-au-vent with a steak filling and cooked broccoli that managed to still be frozen in the middle! However, the lady who was front of house was just lovely, so friendly and when we mentioned the food to her she offered us a free desert, which was much appreciated. They did have a family fun day so maybe they were over stretched. We won’t be returning.

Surprised to see a review criticising this lovely pub. I was also at the Greg Agar gig on Saturday with my Husband and some friends and had the best night I have had since lockdown. I thought the lads in question were good fun and well behaved and added to the atmosphere. Also with restrictions lifted it wasn’t table service and we also went back and forth to the bar. It is a pub after all and not a cabaret event. The landlord works very hard and sat to have a quick chat with some regulars surely you can’t begrudge that.

This was the second time we have used this lovely pub for a family event; on both occasions we were overwhelmed by the food provided - buffet and a sit down tea and cakes; the food is all homemade and was delicious. The service we asked for was exactly what we wanted, if not better. We were looked after superbly from start to finish. Thank you to you all.

Went with my sister for my birthday had a high tea it was lovely .my sister had a gluten free high tea and she loved it we will be going back .thank you for the great service

We have been here a few times recently and the food and service has been absolutely brilliant! Everything we’ve eaten has been delicious ( I had the fish pie on Christmas Eve and highly recommend) and we were served by Jake who is excellent! Can’t wait until Covid restrictions are eased and we can return!

I have visited several times and never been disappointed. The owners are lovely and friendly, the food is fantastic and overall atmosphere is great. Quite the opposite to the Twinemakers across the road!

Had the most fantastic Sunday Lunch at the Royal George for my daughters 18th birthday. Everything was beautifully cooked, event the gravy was amazing. And the 'yorkies' were massive. For all the dads, they do a 'Big Daddy' where for only £4 more you gat a much bigger plate and a load of extra meat. Best roast lunch i have had out in ages!

We drove an hour to taste the food...well worth the drive the pork board was amazing. I would highly recommend this gem of a local pub and will be visiting again with freinds. Compliments to the staff for keeping us all safe in this time and creating such a lovely atmosphere and service.

Very warm and cosy , if the weather is bad . Clean and respectful. Very polite manner and service . We would go there again if in the area . Highly recommend .

Had a lovely afternoon catching up with friends, had the afternoon tea, it was fab, unlimited tea or coffee, sarnies, scones, cakes, all delicious, very clean pub, staff lovely, would definitely recommend, £13.50 per head, bargain, had loads left that we took home in a box.

Nice meal and a good atmosphere Good beers and ciders on tap Excellent COVID-19 security in place Recommended

Excellent meal. My Husband had sea bass and I had panko chucken both absolutely delicious. Great friendly staff and very Covid safe.

We took mother here for lunch today and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. Jake our waiter was simply lovely and very attententive. Overall a great experience. Well done chef.

After a really long walk we fancied helping out the local economy and popped in to the George. Asked for coffee and cake for 2. We have nice cake and 2 lattes. The bill of £17.00 really did not feel justified as it was ok, not magnificent. I'm not sure that we will rush back there again as there are many more places who are more affordable on a whim.

We booked The Royal George after sampling a takeaway during lockdown - which wasn’t good either, already reviewed that - and thought we’d give it a second chance. Booking was easy via messenger. On arrival we followed the one way system and entered the pub. We were queuing for almost ten minutes at the entrance (which had a horrid draft due to open doors) as there was one person serving... and he was halfway through a meal on his lunch break, poor lad! We were shown to our table, which was between the open front door and kitchen, so a very busy and cold place to sit. We were given one menu between three of us for some reason and had our drinks and food order taken. The drinks were promptly delivered to the wrong table and when they were hurriedly brought over she spilt about a centimetre of my pint all over the table.. no apology or offer of top up, nor did she clean it. Our food (chicken burger, beef burger and kids burger) was average at best, with few chips accompanying them. The onion rings side were pretty poor too. I left over half of mine which is unusual! We didn’t bother with a dessert - we were cold and fed up, so paid the bill and left. The food was cheap due to the fact we used the government scheme, I’d have been gutted paying full price! More attentive staff and more staff in general may have helped, but we will not be giving it another try. Had hoped it would be much better.

I came here as the pics I had seen looked good and tempting! Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectation. Luckily it was a part of the eat out to help out scheme so was half the price. This was just as well as I would most definitely not have paid full price. One of us ordered burger and chips. It was quite a small portion for what should have been £18....yes that's correct, £18 (pic included)! The burger was home made but so incredibly dry which ruined it. The chips, however, were amazing. One of us had the salt and pepper platter. Another dish that would have been £18 and was not worth it. We didnt complain as we had only paid half price and it wasnt awful just average. Maybe its because they were busy. Maybe it deserves another shot. But maybe we would leave it a while til we try again. I would suggest to them however, that they ensure their Covid measures are on par with other establishments. Yes there was hand sanitizer around but people were not staying at their tables and were milling about...including right up to our table, which didn't make us feel incredibly safe in all honesty

For what we paid, seeing as it was half price, it was nice. I’m not sure I would have been satisfied if it was full price. The meats on the platter were tasty, but the chips were only just cooked. Seeing as it was busy, it was understandable. However the chicken burger has so much spicy sauce, even tho it said ‘hickory’, just ruined the meal. I couldn’t enjoy it due to the heat, and the bun underneath was soggy from so much sauce. On the menu it said gerkins, but none to be seen. Just needs the finishing touches!

Came here for the eat out to help out , lovely friendly atmosphere, big car park and beer garden at rear , outside bar , tables and marquee. Really helpful bar staff , good choice of food, had a roast was amazing, really tasty , huge homemade Yorkshire pudding . It was so good will definitely be going back on a Sunday and during the week to try more. Definitely recommend

Cold plates, lukewarm food with clearly microwaved dry veg. Kids burger meal was incredibly dry. Very disappointing & on the expensive side too.

Food order took so long to arrive some of us had to go back to work. When it arrived, the food wasn’t spectacular either.

Having never been before, Royal George was recommended on a Facebook site to us. We saw the Salt & Pepper box and jumped at the chance! Very easy to order over messenger, lovely polite staff on arrival and we were away within 5 minutes. The meal itself was quite disappointing. Some items just didn’t taste of anything, let alone S&P. The boys that did were lovely though. I’d say well over half was bland, with the remaining being nice and edible. Very little meat on most ribs too. I’m gutted as it smelt amazing, just lacked overall taste. Not a bad price really, may try the RG again to see if it was a one off.

We live close by and have never visited before. We saw the takeaway Piggy Platter advertised so got in touch and ordered. We were very impressed with the food, really good quality meat with the most amazing chutney! We can’t wait to visit again when this is all over for a nice cold pint in the beer garden and to try and some more of the menu

We saw pictures of their Easter Egg cheesecake desserts on Facebook. Messaged to see when they would be available as FB post said in the run up to Easter. They replied that would be next week but if we wanted to or order for this week we could.. so we did !! We shared the chicken hanging kebab as a shared plate for ‘starters’ before our Cheesecake filled Eggs came out. Absolutely Yum and a take out box as they were too much.Nice friendly proper country pub with fab food and super service.

I had been waiting for ages to come here after seeing their Facebook page and all the yummy food that they post! Wow and boy did it not disappoint! The food was amazing! It is the perfect pub grub menu that you could ask for with a lot of variety and everything is amazing. Big portions to fill you up and just so yummy! Highly recommend the kebabs that they do and the salt and pepper chips are addictive! The staff are also so lovely and it’s a great atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!

This is a nice little country pub, rustic and rural. It serves really good home cooked food. The Sunday lunch is large with 5 potatoes, cauliflower cheese, parsnips, carrots, broccoli and red cabbage! The pork was delicious and Yorkshire pudding comes with all meats! Plenty of lovely thick gravy and apple sauce completes the meal-fantastic!

Our girls group eat out once a month ...we choose the Royal George on recommendation... It was welcoming and busy .... the staff were very friendly.. the menu had a good choice for mains ... the dessert menu lacks variety.... Everyone enjoyed their meal excepts my friend and I ... she rang to speak to the person in charge about it ... the person she needed to speak to was not available but would ring her .. 3 days later still no reply ... very disappointing...

I had been meaning to try The Royal George ever since I seen pics of the Yorkshire puddings, anyway finally got out to have our Sunday lunch, I was not disappointed, it was absolutely wonderful, tender beef, crispy roast potatoes, huge yorkshire,lovely perfectly cooked vegetables, lovely tasty gravy, and hot plates, what more could you ask for, reasonably priced, I had a dessert which was very nice Jaffa cheesecake, but I was full up, also plenty of parking at the rear, don’t take my word for it go and give it a try, and support this lovely pub with friendly staff and the best roast, next time we will pop out of an evening.

Really nice place, great service, starters were delicious and Sunday roast was the best I’ve had in a LONG time! Give this place a try you will not regret it! (Ask for the table by the fire😉)

Fantastic choice for a dinner in a very British old style pub. Warm place. Nice and very kind personnel. Awesome soup of the day with real vegetables. Very tasty pork with honey flavour. Absolutely perfect the Brownie with ice cream. I will come back.

From the moment I rang to book, the landlady was extremely helpful and friendly,she kindly reserved a table near to the lovely open fire in the warm welcoming atmosphere of the bar area.( no steps for my mum to tackle!)The service was fab,fast and friendly and the food definitely didn't disappoint. The roast beef was lush, cooked to pink perfection, ample tasty gravy and the most gigantic Yorkshire pudding with accompanying dish of steaming hot assorted veg and a cauliflower cheese too!My dad and I scoffed the lot,with some effort! my partner had the Veggy roast and really enjoyed that and Mum was delighted to be able to have a child's roast chicken portion which she also really enjoyed,no room for dessert though!The sticky toffee pudding was topnotch too,homemade and oodles of custard.A thoroughly successful Sunday lunch and very good value.

Great pub, welcoming bar staff and a warm fire. Well priced and delicious food. Defiantly going to revisit.

Family of six,including two small children, Saturday lunch. Table ready and waiting with a high chair as requested.

I was in the area recently having arrived that morning from China, and was super hungry. Looking for a good place for lunch this bar was recommended to me. In the heart of the Somerset countryside.

lovely food 5 stars back next we have booked in advance for next Saturday now so we can get a table for our local favourite pub thanks Martin & Emma and staff We Both Love This Pub Chris & Caroline *****

Good food, good atmosphere and excellent service, especially for dogs. We were made to feel very welcome and had an enjoyable lunch.

Nice local pub big back garden dog friendly Lovely food atmosphere great Thankyou to Martin and Emma and staff *****

Had seen lots of lovely photos on social media so four of us drove across. Busy when we arrived but was more or less empty by 9.30 pm. All the staff very cheerful and welcoming. Menu not very extensive. 2 out of our group had chips with their meals but they were very small portions and one of the burgers had to be sent back as undercooked unfortunately but was put right immediately. Deserts not big portions either and didn’t like the aerosol cream used. Wouldn’t rush back probably.

I kept seeing a lot of the Royal Georges food posts pop up on my social media and the pictures looked amazing! So me and my partner decided to give this place and their sunday carvery a try and we were not disappointed! Staff were lovely, portion sizes were more than generous, and the food was delicious! We are already planning our next trip because there is so much of their menu we want to try! Plus I loved the little extra touches making dogs welcome too :)

Had lunch with a friend. Excellent professional friendly service. Lots of choice on lunch menu great for vegetarians and vegans lovely cakes highly recommend.

Lovely old Public House great hosts food all home cooked very well presented, friendly everything A1*********

Went here tonight for an evening meal. First time with the new owners. Beer beautifully kept and served with a smile. The menu is not extensive but the food is all home prepared and cooked pretty much to perfection. The sweets again are obviously all home made and are exceptional. The atmosphere was that of a good local pub and provided you don't mind good pub type food you will not be disappointed. Had there been something other than fish on the mains specials boards the score would have been 5 star. Reasonably priced for what we had and much improved from our last visit so we will go again in the not too distant future

We hadn’t booked but luckily they could accommodate us. The roasts looked good. We chose other things from the menu. My husband enjoyed his fish pie. I had a small meal from the snack menu. It was nice to have a choice other than roasts. Good car park at the rear

Very welcoming staff, food to die for, great choice on the menu covering all tastes/requirements. Sunday roast, selection of vegetables and desserts all absolutely brilliant. Could not recommend the Royal George more highly. Booking recommended.

We were made welcome from the moment we walked in the door, the Royal George is a lovely place and the food was absolutely delicious. I will definitely be going there again and I would throughly recommend it to anyone.

Stopped for lunch. Never been here before but the bar-maid recommended the Thai mussels & prawns. The recommendation was spot on, fresh & tasty with a choices of bread or chips. Went for the chips but everything was really tasty as my my pals pie. The beer, Palmers, was cracking & as good as it gets. Service was good, parking was easy & whole place was a tad oldie worldie. Well worth a visit & definitely will return.

A great friendly welcome and the calamari & prawn with chilli jam was truly amazing. Great simple menu and can’t wait to try the cakes on my next visit.

Met up with a couple of friends here today for an early dinner, recently turned vegetarian (so normally only pasta option at restaurants), a nice sized menu with veggie options, i opted for a falafel burger which was very nice indeed. friends also enjoyed there meals, service was good too. would recommend.

Pub inglese menu poca scelta , forse anche meglio . Merluzzo surgelato e pastellato , pesto non so cosa fosse . Luce scarsa nel locale , ho dato un due perché non sono stato aiutato nella scelta del cibo . Il pane lo devi chiedere , come ogni altra cosa che vuoi e che ti sembra scontata . Sono molto fortunati perché non hanno concorrenti vicini . Birra buona per forza .

Called in for a meal on holiday last week - ordered pie with chips instead of mash - the pie was tasty but the chips were frozen and the gravy was made from granuals and the frozen peas were hard - hardly worth £11 - went to this pub mistaking it for another one we had visited a few years before unfortunately.

Deliscious mushroom on toast starter and homemade burger. Good food, lovely staff and friendly locals. Will be back! Also enjoyed mother’s day last month :)

Our walking group had lunch here after a strenuous walk. The food was very good and served very efficiently and with a smile. Plenty of parking space.

Another great visit to meet friends at this lovely little pub. A friendly welcome from Darren the landlord, always a smile and a joke! A lovely open fire in the bar area, which was very welcome on a cold February day. As usual the food was excellent! Best Sunday roast ever with all the trimmings! Lovely tasty, tender beef etc with plenty of scrummy gravy! My husband had the steak and stilton pie with large chips and veg, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The puddings were a real treat again. Bread and butter pudding with custard for us ladies and our husbands went for the Apple Granny, which was a pastry base with Apple and topped with toffee which went down very well! Excellent value for money and we would definitely recommend the Royal George without hesitation. Thank you again Darren and the rest of the team. We will see you again soon!

We called in here last Thursday (28th). Our friend who was with us had recommended it. Oh dear, what a disappointment. Other than the festive menu, very little choice. I ordered lasagne. It was the worst I've ever had. The bottom of it was burnt, the top was burnt. Instead of a good tasty meaty sauce, it was dry and tasteless. There was a bit of green salad with it, but only leaves, no other salad ingredients. I asked for some mayonnaise, and had the feeling that it was given grudgingly. We were about the only diners in there, so, they weren't rushed off their feet. Never again!

56 members of Sutton Bingham Sailing Club held their annual social and prize giving event in the skittle alley/function room. Prior to the event the owners discussed menus and our requirements. During the afternoon the room was already set out and tables laid allowing us to decorate the room with our bunting etc. Food was served on time and hot. One member with gluten and dairy intolerance was catered for without any fuss. The evening was successful and club members have said they would like to come back to The Royal George.

Bargain. Quality pub grub here! I came here with a couple of mates for a catch up and we had a great time. Cracking draft ales and brilliant food. Ham, egg and chips were spot on! Decent leek and potato soup too. I’ve been coming here for 30+ years and seen many people come and go but the consistency of the quality ales and food have remained. Great pub.

We went here based on other TripAdvisor reviews and were not disappointed, The restaurant is quite compact but cosy. Considering there were 50+people having a function in the bowling alley, the staff coped extremely well and service didn't suffer. Food is traditional English and portions generous. Ice cream selection was disappointing - only vanilla!! Plenty of car parking.

I visited about a month ago now with a few friends and could barely keep myself together in the pub it stinks of dead rats the owners were unwelcoming and the atmosphere was through the floor no one in there (probably because of the smell) and bar staff could not produce a coffee when asked from the coffee machine behind the bar I wouldn't visit unless you have no sense of smell

Stayed in West Coker ate here twice. The owners are welcoming and helpful. The food is good and reasonably priced. Also the wine list has plenty of choice but try the Dorset Haze cider for a change.

Visited a couple of evenings ago with friends and had great service, very friendly and the food was excellent. Super choice, reasonable prices and piping hot!

My husband and I were visiting the area for a friends wedding. We went into the pub for food and were greeted by the new owner, he was friendly helpful and very accommodating. We had scampi and chips, which I have to say was the best I had ever tasted. The food was prompt, hot and lovely. Well done, this would definitely be a place we would regularly visit for drinks and food if we lived nearer. Well done. Fantastic.

Visited the George on recommendation from friends. We were not disappointed. The food was tasty, plentiful and good value. Lovely cost atmosphere in traditional English pub.

Menú y la publicidad dice claramente que se sirve comida hasta las 9 pm. Cuando piden una mesa en 8. 40:00h, nos dijeron que la comida no era snottily sirve. Cuando señalé el cartel decía hasta las 9, me dijeron que esto era "sujeto a disponibilidad". No hay disculpa, no habla de la cocina para consultar, a un estirado respuesta. Sentimos que habíamos entramos en una escena de la liga de caballero! Antipático, hospitalario, pub local para personas elegido local.

Four of us stopped for lunch when we saw the sign " Two courses £10". We weren't disappointed. Friendly service and very good value food. I had starter whitebait followed by lamb liver with mashed potato, veg and lots of gravy, delicious! My wife had pate followed by gammon served with two fried eggs and chips. Yes, we were well pleased. Will call in again.

Thank you for a fab evening meal dog friendly lovely and cool inside wonderful hosts great service see you soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an evening meal here before a wedding in the local area, and the place has plenty of character. The Landlady was warm and welcoming, very happy to answer questions about the pub and menu, and the food itself was great. Generous portions, well cooked, great value, and plenty of fresh locally sourced ingredients (which was evident in the taste). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

This is not a Michelin restaurant and doesn't pretend to be. It is good food at reasonable prices in a traditional English pub. You get good service and pleasant conversation, reasonable wines and good beer.

2 course meal for a 10er .. on a bank holiday Monday ... brilliant .. good quality and lovely service .. well recommended xx

Visited West Coker for a wedding. Found the Royal George for a Friday pub meal. Great welcome from the locals and the landlord! We all chose home made pies -- all different and they did not disappoint! There was much more in the menu but after a 7hour drive our choice was spot on.

Grazie al suggerimento di un collega che vive qui vicino, ho cenato in questo pub.Appena si entra si respira subito l'atmosfera di un pub inglese. Soffitto basso, molto legno, luce soffusa...Poi una gentile signora bionda mi fa scegliere il tavolo. Antipasto: gamberi fritti con salsina piccante (filo wrapped prawns). Buoni.Piatto principale: rib eye con fungo e patatine fritte. La carne era squisita. Cotta alla perfezione. Vera delizia.Dolce: creme brulè. Buona. Il tutto innaffiato con 2 birre: Pale Ale e Guinness.Per finire un whisky Glenfiddich 16 anni invecchiato.Totale £40.Nota: se alloggiate all'hotel "Lanes", il pub si trova di fronte sul lato opposto della strada.Consigliatissimo!!!

Stumbled across this quaint pub last weekend,looked appealing from the outside with all the lovely pots of flowers,upon entering we were given a warm welcome ,ordered a drink and asked to see the evening menu,being a vegetarian i wasn't holding out much hope of anything suitable on the menu,how ever i was pleasantly surprised to find a tofu and butternut curry,i have to say it was delicious,service was friendly and professional,a lovely evening was had by all

Came across this delightful pub by chance as we were passing through the area looking for a nice friendly and traditional place to eat and have a few drinks.it didn't disappoint!the atmosphere was second to none,we were greeted immediately by the landlord and his wife who made us feel very special and welcome and were obviously very popular with the locals not surprisingly due to their lovely nature.This was equally matched by the beautiful home made food,the choice was great and the best by far we had experienced over the last few days of our stay.would certainly recommend and hopefully will be back ourselves when returning to the area

Walked in off the street for food, not particularly busy in restaurant, ordered drinks, asked if we could start a tab, landlord said in a rude manner " have you booked " which we responded no, & asked if we could we see a menu? Ordered our meal, when we tried to settle up there were issues with the card machine, when the landlord was notified there was a problem with card payments, he immediately said there's nothing wrong with the wifi, his manner made us feel that he was insinuating that the problem was with our payment, even though we had tried both of our cards several times! The food was nice, however I felt the service from the landlord was appalling! What ever happened to customer service?? Shame as this is a lovely pub which we have used over the past 15 years on & off. Very disappointing!

We go here every week if we can straight from work. A friendly comfortable pub in the heart of West Coker selling homemade food and local ales / beers. Worth a visit. Great food. Great atmosphere.

Visited Somerset for a long weekend staying with family, who told us about this delightful establishment and how pleasant and friendly the staff are. They raved about the food and they were not wrong. Delightful meals and staff and locals made you feel very welcome. WILL BE GOING BACK AGAIN SOON.Also try the Butchers just up the road very friendly and helpful.

We had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch- very tasty roast beef with all the trimmings followed by a delicious home cooked Pavlova dessert. The landlord and landlady were very welcoming and we received excellent service. We will definitely return soon to this very attractive pub.

Simpatico e tipico pub di paese, con menù scritto sulla lavagna e cucina casalinga con piatti inglesi. Buono il rapporto qualità prezzo.

Fantastic roast beef,yet again perfectly cooked lovely starter peanut satay thankyou to sue and Darren for a great atmosphere cozy pub don't miss it if you are in west coker,dog friendly pub too *****

Googled for pubs in the area and found this place. We were not disappointed. Very good meal. I had turkey and ham pie with lashings of mash and gravy and hubby had the gammon steak. No complaints at all.Excellent service and with a smile.

This was an amazing pub to visit. The setting and pub decor was just beautiful and typical of the location. The food just fabulous with great choice.The bar staff along with the Land Lord & Lady were just so friendly and can make you really feel part of the locals. They were very attentive and made you feel so welcome. An amazing fun time.There is also a skittle alley - this is certainly a 'must try' - so much fun.

Four of us booked in to the George for a Mothers day lunch based on the most recent reviews and we were not disappointed. A super set menu combined with excellent service from a very welcome Darren and Sue made for the perfect meal. Couldn't recommend enough.

Lovely welcoming cozy pub,great food always lovely and hot, sue and Darren the landlords very nice people,dog friendly pubOur local would highly recommend *****

Just been house hunting and wanted lunch and a pint walked in to be welcomed by lovely landlady and when food arrived - yummy. Hubbys liver, bacon, onions with mash and gravy in a bowl he was on another planet from beginning to end! My Brie tart with dressed salad, seasoned buttered potatoes and cuddly cheeses yumminess was gorgeous - wantvto find house there just to continue going to the pub!!

Great destination for food, ales or just for fun. This little pub provides good value for money food for everyday or special days, a good range of ales and a no fuss genuine warm welcome (as well as a warm fire side!).Difficult to leave but easy to return to!

Molto caratteristico, ambiente tipico ed informale, pochi piatti nel menù ma gustosi ed abbondanti. Un locale dove stare bene, mangiando la cucina inglese e spendendo il giusto.

Having been to The Royal George several times now with the new landlords,what a breathe of fresh air .Food always good,home cooked and value for money.Was there this Tuesday and enjoyed Fish n Chips and Sues wonderful Toad in the Hole. Again was looked after with Darren dealing with our needs as usual with a smile and remembering we loved to sit by the window. Keep up the great work for this lovely village Well done

Second visit under new ownership. Previous review ok and was one of our favourite places in the past. I ordered toad in the hole my wife fish and chips. Toad consisted of two small dried up sausages in a batter which I could have used to repair my shoes with! Having said that the cabbage was nice. The fish was quit nice but the chips were hard. My wife called over the waiter, said the chips are hard. he said "what all of them" grabbed my wife's plate and said he would replace the dish. No time to even mention the toad. My wife's dish came out again. Fish, which was ok previously, now over cooked. Chips had been microwaved (hotter on inside than out), peas like bullets. Didn't bother complaining about toad, didn't seem worth it. Went to bar to get bill the "charming waiter" slapped it down saying that he had taken off my wife's wine to compensate and rushed back into the kitchen before I could mention the toad. It's a shame a lovely pub for atmosphere now spoilt by awful food and inattentive rude staff. Needless to say will not be returning and will be passing the word to our many friends who also used to love this place.

Came for Sunday lunch without a reservation. A table was found for us after a few minutes, and were made to feel very welcome. Service was excellent and the food tasty and nicely presented.

Whether it's for a meal or just to drink and socialise, this is a cracking pub. The new(ish) landlord and lady are exceptionally welcoming, warm and convivial. The atmosphere is great and we're often encouraged to stay longer than we really should!! In particular Darren, the landlord, can be very persuasive!! It's a laugh a minute. Good Sunday lunch - a godsend for helping to recover from the previous night's festivities!! Occasional live music and themed nights too. This is an old pub with a lot of history in a beautiful village in Somerset. We are very lucky in this village to have four very good eating/drinking establishments within spitting distance of each other, two of which also offer accommodation. Everything's here for a great night out!!

Fabulous food and the best wine EVER tasted and great prices throughout..... and I've not gone over the top!!

A truly welcoming village pub, with lots of atmosphere and great food. Food was amazing - steak cut like butter, onion rings with the liver and bacon were outstanding. So full, we couldn't fit pudding in! As it was a Friday evening we got to experience the village skittles teams playing. Already planning a repeat visit to take friends.

First visit and it won't be the last! Met friends here for Sunday lunch. Was not disappointed. Two of us had the roast beef and all the trimmings (the gravy was to die for!!) The others had chicken breast wrapped in bacon with mozzarella cheese, and liver and bacon with mashed potato and onion rings. The puddings again were a real treat. Two of us had bread and butter pudding with custard (just like mother used to make!) and the others had sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. Nothing to fault about this lovely little pub which has a large car park at the back, and a very friendly and welcoming landlord who made us feel at home. Well done to all of you at the Royal George and we will look forward to our next visit!

The Landlord and Landlady (Sue and Darren) couldn`t have been more helpful in organising my 50th birthday meal. Nothing was too much trouble. Sue even kindly arranged a special set menu for me.The food was delicious, piping hot, prompt (no waiting for ages in between courses)and excellent value for money.The atmosphere was very welcoming, lovely and cosy with the open fire burning away. What more could you ask for.I will definitely be recommending this pub to all my friends and family. A great friendly welcome awaits you.

Visited for Sunday Lunch. Nice old pub near centre of pretty small village on A30 a few miles from Yeovil, Somerset.We had Whitebait starter and Roast Beef main.Both delicious and well cooked with sauces.Landlord has only been there6 months was chatty and friendly.Would visit again. Landlord would like to attract more local drinkers , making it a local again with a balance of still providing high quality food.

Called in here for lunch on Friday 10th Feb. 17, first order was unavailable, what I did order in the end was Fish & Chips with peas. It arrived with veg, no peas, when I asked about the peas, I was told Chef probably did not have any, no apology, really poor service, I have been here before and the food was good, maybe new management ? It was very cold in the pub, we both ate with our coats on. Won't be going back here, shame.

Unfortunately our meal wasn't quite as good as we had hoped for.The main thing that let it down was the service & the fact that the desserts we pre ordered were not available, we were asked to pick an alternative & then later told that wasn't available either!Our dessert plates & glasses hadn't been cleared for a while so I cleared the table myself, there were 18 of us on 2 tables, I then asked the lady at the bar if we could have coffees & she looked at me blankly & said she only usually works Fridays.... it was a Friday?! Starters were good, the roast turkey was pretty fine but the nut loaf was completely inedible.

We visited there in October for dinner on a whim. In fairness it doesn't look like a pub geared up for dinner for small children, but there was one table with a long bench that worked perfectly for us. The staff were friendly, and the food was nice, albeit there was a fairly limited choice. Most of the customers were congregated at the bar for an evening drink. A very nice option for an occasional meal.

We chose the Royal George in West Coker for a family meal. Being our first visit we checked out the reviews and the most recent reviews being so positive we decided to try it ourselves. We were not disappointed.... The atmospheric village pub is warm and friendly and the food was fresh, tasty, beautifully presented and flavoursome. The menu consisted of something to suit all tastes and the Desserts which are all home made are delicious. We noticed this pub has relatively new tenants which we wish them all the success - they deserve to do well.We will be back!!!

This was a midweek visit with a group of friends. Sadly the menu was very limited and we struggled to make choices. What we had was ok but only that. Cream was off as stated by a previous reviewer and they do not serve decaf coffee which is unusual these days. There was definitely a smell of smoke coming from a staff member, quite unpleasant. The pub was lacking in atmosphere and by 9.30 we were the only cutomers. Let's hope that these are teething problems.

We have had lovely meals in the past and this was our first visit under the new ownership. I have to say it was most disappointing......we had fish and chips and the quality of the fish was very poor and the cream used in our pudding was 'off' not only smelling foul but tasting awful! The usual crowds have gone along with the atmosphere of what was once a lovely pub! The 'waitress' had several cigarette breaks during our visit which added an unpleasant smell to her clothing when she returned. What a shame......we will give it a while before/if we visit again and would not be recommending it anymore.

A lovely Pub, great setting. Food was excellent, no issues with any of the dishes our party had. My medium rare steak was cooked to perfection. Service was great and very attentive. Recommended.
