Harden's survey result
Summary
This “delightful old village pub/restaurant” earns consistently strong ratings for its locally sourced and well cooked meals, which appeal to “locals and walkers alike”.
Summary
An “extremely good-value two-course set menu” makes this beamed village inn (erring more on the restaurant than pub side) a “favourite lunch destination” amongst those who commented upon it this year, but at any time of day the food is always “well-prepared and locally sourced”.
Summary
“A lovely timber-beamed building in a charming pretty village” houses this sixteenth-century inn, by the green: “more a restaurant than a pub really but locals still pop in after work for a quick snifter!”. Its rated on limited feedback last year, but all very complimentary about its modern British fare either from the à la carte or good value set menus.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

The George Restaurant Diner Reviews

"We revisited The George after a 2 year self-isolation celebration lunch. The Bombay prawns were superb. The Hereford beef was also delicious, served 'pink' and plenty of it. Tasty Yorkshire pudding and a good selection of vegetables. Ice cream and Eton mess excellent too. However, if you are planning to dine outside, please wrap up warmly as there are no outside heaters! We will return again in the near future for another enjoyable lunch."
