My friend and I had the Afternoon Tea. No sooner had we sat down our food arrived! It came on what looked like a mini set of shelves! it was so cute, a change from the usual 2/3 plate stand! Tea was piping hot! We had cheese savoury and ham sandwiches, this was our preference, we don’t like fancy stuff! The sausage rolls were beautiful, home made and still warm. Yes the scones were miniature (and missing marg/butter) but we had cream and jam. I think it was a slice of chocolate fudge cake we had each and vanilla baked cheesecake. These were proper size slices. If the scones had been any bigger we wouldn’t have had room for the cake!! We came away full and thoroughly enjoyed our treat. We would definitely have this again :-)

Four of us dined here last night and we all really enjoyed our food, two chicken tikka hanging kebabs, battered haddock and a halloumi burger, we had a little wait which didn’t bother us but when the food arrived it was hot and nicely cooked. Only two members of staff on the floor but both very friendly and polite and nothing was too much trouble. Thank You

Went for afternoon tea with 3 of my friends on Sat, early 60th birthday celebration for 2 of us. Tea & coffee was cold, had to ask for hot water….only 2 types of sandwiches, which were a little dry….had to ask for butter for our miniature scones….chocolate cake was dry & not sure what the other cake was as we weren’t told. We were never approached to ask if we wanted another drink. Staff seemed very unhappy & stressed!! Not the best.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable. We enjoyed evening meals and a lovely lunch . Would recommend a stay at the George and hope to return.

From the moment I walked in to the minute I left the service and atmosphere were terrible. We opted for the steak night special as this seemed good value for money. It was not busy with only a few customers but the lady behind the bar was stressed and on her own. The food took 35 minutes for 2 rare steaks and 1 medium, we ordered 2 side orders of onion rings and a fried egg. The onion rings were almost inedible they had not been in the fryer long enough with the batter uncooked and stodgy. We had to ask for the fried egg which came when my daughter was half way through her food. The rare steaks were not cooked properly and were verging on well done. At no point were we asked if everything was alright with the food. The reason I didn't complain was because we were so hungry and the food took ages to come that we just had to eat what we had I really a terrible experience and a complete waste of money. Will never return

We dined today for afternoon tea and it was the worst afternoon tea I have ever had it was a wowcher on the wowcher website it showed a two-tier cake stand with fluffy scones and lovely looking sandwiches the offering today as per the photo was absolutely disgusting the scones were dry it was missing clotted cream the cake was shoved onto this strange-looking cake stand the sandwiches were dry and missing half of the offering in side the sausage rolls were burned ,the time and effort from the staff was minimal the waitress looked exhausted ,the table across had large fluffy scones and we had tiny little dry cake scones ,I had the gluten-free option which was the worst thing I have ever eaten the coconut slice was flaky and dry and fell apart,the sandwiches were actually very good to my surprise and the coffee was bitter and horrible it was my mom's birthday and it ruined the afternoon I will never return to this establishment.

The food was good, I had a Cajun hanging kebab and my husband a blue burger. Could have done with a side plate to assemble the wrap and I would have asked for one but no staff were around. Service was quite slow, we waited 50 minutes and it wasn’t that busy when we ordered. Also no one checked if everything was ok with our meals.

Was given a voucher for Afternoon Tea so chose The George. It was delicious and worth the drive to get there. The atmosphere was very pleasant and the service very good. Will definitely make a return trip to eat there again.

Excellent meal at very competitive prices. We had 3 course Sunday lunch and it was very flavoursome would definitely go again

We stayed here on a travel zoo deal and linked it with some walking in the local area. Decided to stay for food at the restaurant and so glad we did The menu was limited to Sunday lunch but lots of choice for meet so I had pork . Presented beautifully the meal was excellent value for money with everything you could want on a Sunday dinner ( although I would have preferred more veg - that said with all the Meat I don’t know where they would have put this on the plate
