Great food, great service- just gets very noisy (even when half full) but don’t let that out you off! Can’t wait to be able to sit outside watching the West Didsbury world go by.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Really wholesome sticky toffee pudding. Great with live music in the evening.

Chose this place as it welcomes dogs ( bowls of water given and treats which is a nice touch). Service a little on the slow side but the staff are pleasant. Food ok

The service was really good, however the food was average and over priced! Particularly the roast and wrap. Better places near by, I left hungry!

Good food & ambience. Only negative was being sat at entrance door so it was rather drafty. Busy restaurant & reasonably priced. Friendly welcoming staff

Food and service were excellent. Live music also really good. Only slight disappointment was that a couple of items had run out on the menu.

Friendly service and excellent food mean this is a great choice for breakfast. Price is about the same as other places in the area, about ten to fifteen pound per person for breakfast and a coffee.

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!

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.
