Better food than the other ‘gastro’ pubs in the area. I think they have a new chef. On this latest visit, the food was good, but we waited nearly an hour between starter and main… service was patchy - some fantastic staff working really hard are let down by some of the service team. Still a good choice for quality food in a pub on the edge of the common.

My new favourite place to go for dinner. We were early for our booking but we were greeted so warmly. Our table was waiting for us which was a real bonus at this time of year! White table cloths and napkins add an air of luxury. So rarely see these days. Service was friendly and attentive. The food was very good. A couple of good vegetarian options too. Great house wines. Reasonably priced. The extra spicy bloody marys are to die for! Get yourselves booked in.

We treated ourselves to a pre Christmas meal. We had Chateaubriand. The meal was amazing, meat cooked to perfection. This is my 3rd time at this wonderful restaurant in the last 3 months. Sunday Lunch, meal with friends and last night with my Fiancé. Each time the staff have been attentive and the atmosphere is inviting. i would highly recommend The George. We will be back soon
