The George Inn

It may date from the 14th century but The George at Norton St Philip is a restaurant for  the English 21st century offering food a level or two above the usual country pub fare. It was very busy when we arrived for a birthday celebration on Saturday lunchtime but we were soon led to our table in the vaulted dining room.  Our drink orders were quickly taken to give us time to explore the imaginative menu. The crispy croquette of pulled Aston Easton lamb shoulder with devilled kidneys was wonderful but the battered cod came a very close second with other members of the party enjoying a rump steak with bearnaise sauce or a selection of smaller starter dishes like deep fried calamari and vegetarian options.  Butcocombe Gold and Rare Breed ales kept dehydration at bay.  Dogs were welcomed although car parking was a bit tight on a busy Saturday lunchtime.  Minor criticiesm - the steak was more medium than medium/rare and a bit on the pricey side but generally the whole meal was good value for money.  I will definitely be back.

An ancient pub fore modern times

Had a wonderful stay in the Samuel Pebys room. Stunning room. Staff were all wonderful and welcoming. Stayed for our anniversary and they made this special for us. Food was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Faultless and will return.

Faultless

This pub used to be lovely (local to our family home for the last 20 years) but we were sorely disappointed when we visited this weekend. It’s been redesigned inside and all the charm has gone. It’s very superficially “ye olde country pub” style, presumably decorated by someone with no taste who doesn’t know the area at all and has is tone deaf to the history of the building. Such a loss to the village. On top of that the staff were shrill and fretful, particularly the manager on the day who ushered us to sit outside in the freezing wind despite there being tables indoors. It’s lost all its warmth and welcomeness and may as well be a theme pub for rich tourists in central london. What a shame.

Tragic loss of once beloved local pub

What a beautiful place, excellent food, the staff were all very lovely. We were there for our sons 30th birthday, nothing was too much trouble, our lovely waitress went above and beyond, she was amazing, she even came out with his dessert with a candle in and even got the rest of the guests to sing happy birthday. The whole evening was perfect, thank you to you all. We will definitely be back.

Superb

We had a very good time at the George. Sam was most welcoming and hospitable, the food was good, the pub full of character and we didn&apos;t feel rushed at all. We will definitely come again.
