    Excellent Sunday roast with all the trimmings, good service, let down slightly by the worst Eton mess I have ever seen, just cream and fruit. To be fair to our server when she asked why it was left and we explained there was little to no meringue in the dessert she did take it off the bill.

    Stephen, Thanks for your 4* review we have fed your feedback back to the kitchen team regards the eton mess. Hope to see you again soon. Many thanks The George inn team

    Went there after reading several reviews. Easy booking (and also booking time change). Reception good. Food very good, especially the pork belly! Food quality excellent. The only VERY minor point was that we felt a little rushed. The drink order was taken quickly (excellent!) and the started quite shortly after that. The main course was served really a little fast after finishing the starters and we would have preferred a little more time to settle. I fully realise that a lot of people always complain about delayed service so this was unusual and a VERY MINOR COMMENT. We would obviously use again when suitable.

    Thanks, Chris thanks for your 5* review, we are delighted you enjoyed your meal I will feed your comment about the slight quickness between starters and mains. Many thanks and we look forward to welcoming back. Many thanks The George inn Team
