Had a lovely Sunday Roast here last weekend with a party of 7 including a toddler. The staff were amazing! Couldn't do enough for us, really attentive and great with the 1 yr old. 3 courses, wine, cocktails...all great and the atmosphere is lovely too. Will definitely be returning!

Great staff, very attentive. Food was very good. I can recommend the Beef Hash with poached egg starter and the steaks had for main course were excellent. A chilled out evening with friends.

Not a restaurant downstairs on a Friday night. Wish they’d told me when I booked as I’d have gone elsewhere. Really unenjoyable evening, with disappointing food. Staff couldn’t care less. Will never eat here again!!!!

The food in here was great and the prices were decent. I thought the toilets downstairs smelled quite badly and if I had been seated there then I would not have been happy. As it was, going to the toilet was an unpleasant experience with the smell combined with the fact that, on my first trip, the door to the cubicle wouldn't close as it was too big for the opening and on the second, there was no loo roll in the cubicle. The menu is quite small but the food was fab, with local ingredients being used. Service was friendly.

Food good but limited choice and informed when attempting to order a dish with chicken thighs that it would take 20min, changed my order as was on a time limit however the order still took 15-20min. The General service was fine and waitress was pleasant and helpful my friends food was excellent and she booked a table for wkd.

Service was slow as was so busy. Sunday lunch was ok but had had better at nearby pubs. Yorkshires, gravy and meat were nice. Not keen on the veg selection. I've had breakfast here in the past and that was really good.

The service was good but the food was ordinary at best. It was style over substance, I'm afraid. I thought the George had common owners with the Lime Tree, which we rate highly, but unfortunately it failed to get anywhere near that standard. Although I hate to post negative reviews, in this case I would be less than honest if I didn't do so.

Really good food, the pigs cheeks were particularly tasty. Melted in your mouth! Only downside was a lot of the mussels starter hadn't opened which suggested they could have done with another minute. main courses were delicious so we were more than satisfied with the food. restaurant area lacked atmosphere. we were the only ones eating at 7.30pm on a Friday night and as the dining area is downstairs from the pub it was extremely quiet. Maybe we just chose the wrong night/time but it did highlight the traffic to the toilets which are also downstairs. I suspect we wouldn't have noticed if a few more tables had been full. Overall though it was a good night and we will return.

Nice place however myself and a friend ordered the mushroom risotto and both agreed it was salty and the rice wasn't cooked and was starchy. Not much choice on the dessert front so ordered a decaf cappuccino which was lukewarm. To be fair to the waitress she could see by the amount of risotto left that we'd not liked it and charged just for one

We dined on a Saturday night and the restaurant was empty it was early 6.30. I not sure why as the décor is lovely and the service is good,the menu although not extensive was fine however 17.50 for cod was too high for me. I had risotto it was fine and my husband had the fish and chips which was enormous he enjoyed it. My only criticism if anything is that it lack atmosphere the dining room is in the basement therefore no outside view and no staff either unless they are delivering food they don't hang around.

Went for a Sunday brunch. A couple of things off the menu which wasn't a great start. We waited 15 mins so we could order off the lunch menu. And then another 45mins for the food to arrive... fairly average food, slow service. Had to ask a couple of times for drinks as our server forgot. Others served ahead of us so maybe just a particularly unfortunate experience but not returning in a hurry
