The best restaurants serving British food in Brailes Stratford-on-Avon West Midlands

We live locally and thought we should give The George a try for Sunday lunch. We were extremely disappointed! On arrival we were waiting at the bar to be acknowledged for a long time, after eventually being seated at the table we were told by the waitress that she would get us some menus. We waited another 10 minutes for these to arrive and finally be asked what drinks we would like. When the drinks arrived we were asked what we would like. We ordered Camembert and were told that they didn’t have any so we decided to skip the starter. We asked for the chicken breast and beef roast dinners, as an extra we asked for the pigs in blankets but they didn’t have any of these either! When the food arrived I was extremely disappointed to see that the Chicken breast was actually a dried up chicken leg which had obviously been cooked hours ago and kept warm and the same with the potatoes, which were far too hard (not crispy just been kept warm for many hours!) I asked the waitress if there was Chicken breast as it stated breast on the menu, her reply was - well that is a chicken leg! She offered to swap it and I said, oh so you do have chicken breast? She replied no! When our glasses were empty no one asked if we wanted more drinks so we had to stop a waitress and ask her. We then finished as much as we could of the meal and went and paid at the bar even though the drinks never arrived they still tried to charge us for them so we had to ask for them to be removed. For the price of the roast, you can get much much better in the area with great service! I would not recommend the George for food at all but I have heard good things about atmosphere for the live music and drinking in the bar area. The restaurant area was extremely noisy and we were sat very close to a large family group when there was a table further away which would have been quieter. The waiting staff could 100% be friendlier and more attentive.

Such a lovely old building, very friendly and welcoming staff, with one particular lady who couldn’t do enough, carrying my heavy case upstairs (thank you). The true highlight was dinner in front of the log burner, with the best steak pie I have ever eaten! I’ll remember this place for a long time and will definitely be back!
