Beautiful pub in an idilic village. Great set of taps which obviously include plenty of Hook Norton beers. Big beer garden and plenty of space in the bar and restaurant.

Looking at previous reviews, I can only assume we caught this place on a bad weekend. Saturday night with live music and they're out of ice by 6.30. White wine was served at room temperature. Very disappointing...Bar staff all looked frustrated, particularly with the electronic order/payment screen.Cant comment on the food as we didnt book a table. However, the response when we enquired about a possible table was very abrupt.Aside from our experience, this is a beautiful historical building with an interesting history.

Apart from being a little shabby round the edges, we couldn’t fault this place. |A lovely spot with friendly staff, sweet rooms, a bar & restaurant full of character, the George was a superb choice for a Saturday night out. …
