Went for dinner, we had booked a table for two. It's a lovely looking cosy traditional but spacious pub. There is a big fireplace with a log burner, it's really nice. I ordered the 20oz steak and the missus ordered the 10oz with a side of scampi. They both came with mushrooms, a tomato a spring of lettuce, a salad bar a choice of different chips, we just had normal ones. It was great food, the steaks were very well cooked, a rare a medium rare, and tasted lovely, juicy, no gristle, plenty of colour. All of the sides were good, the salad bar was well stocked fresh and definitely added to the experience. Service was polite and efficient, it was all good. Prices while not cheap are very reasonable, quality is great, choice is great and we will back many times no doubt. If you are debating whether to try here or the Ancient Britton up the road, the George IV wins on every measure. Really nice. They also do some huge platters and grills that we saw being carried past, they looked amazing as well. We live locally so we didn't try the rooms, but had we had one of the massive grill platters we have needed too 😋

Excellent food, service and setting. Good Value for money. The meal was well cooked and tasted great. The choice of vegetables was good and the gravy was very good. This was made even better by extensive salad bar for healthier eating choice. The salad was a great compliment to our delicious chicken and rib meal. Thankyou for making our day so special!

Very nice and cosy inside. Steak cooked to perfection but chips much to be desired and couldn't taste the garlic in the garlic mushrooms. Not much time between starter and main so felt too rushed for us. Had to ask for side plates for bread but they couldn't find any and had to ask for steak knives. So lovely steak and building inside but room for improvement

Called in after visiting a garden centre nearby on the off chance they had a table, they were fully booked but very accommodating and managed to seat us outside. The service was impeccable and the carvery was amazing! Everything cooked to perfection, huge portions at a reasonable price. It was so nice myself and my sister ordered a takeaway carvery for our husbands as we felt bad they would miss out. Recently moved close by and will definitely return.

Excellent carvery, generous portions of quality meat and veg not overcooked. One of our party of 10 had coeliac disease, but the manager was on it and his manner reassured us that all the necessary precautions with cross contamination would be observed.Would recommend without hesitation.

Came here a month ago with my wife and sat in the conservatory. She had lasagne and I had half rack of ribs and chips with salad and bourbon sauce. Fantastic. Went back this week after thinking about our meals for so long and really looking forward again. My wife had carvery and I ordered the same half rack of ribs. The first time I had seven ribs in loads of bourbon sauce chips and salad with tomatoes so expecting same again. my meal had four ribs which were very grisly hardly any meat and to make up for the lack of ribs loads of chips half a plate and just leaves no tomatoes. No bourbon sauce. Very poor. Came away hungry. Last time half my plate was ribs and a container of chips which were great. Chips took over meal through lack of ribs . Why change things when you had such a good meal before. Won't be back for a while. Pub was cold too.

We have been going to the George for years but tonight my husband had a fillet steak that was very expensive for what it was, he asked for medium but it was overdone. He had one mushroom, grilled tomato and not even a proper salad. Chips used to be homemade but they were frozen. The rest of us had an ok meal but nothing compared to what it used to be like. They were starting to pack away, put chairs on tables etc while we were eating! Made us feel like we had to rush and it was 8:30pm! I’m so disappointed because I used to work here and it was always so lovely and food was first class
