The George - Reserva de mesa

My wife and I have been regular visitors to Keswick for many years, and a meal at The George has always been on the agenda, as good food and a great atmosphere were assured. Despite the more recent poor reviews (although those on their website appear much more glowing? we decided to remain loyal and see for ourselves. Upon entering we had a look at the old snug room on the left, this used to be a room of great charm, with eclectic prints on the walls and assorted Knick knacks strewn around, and a lovely old fireplace with a roaring fire during the colder months. Sadly the room seems to have been largely stripped, and now seems quite austere and unwelcoming, there is now a table blocking the...

Out of 4 of us, 1 said the meal was good (the thai veg curry) the chicken kebab eater said it was very dry served on greaseproof paper under it so every time you cut a piece of the flat bread it was on, you got paper with it, the scampi eater left most of it, it was very dark brown, over cooked, dry horrible I had basically Hunters Chicken, but there was next to no bbq sauce in it, so very dry, it was so overcooked it was like shoe leather hard to cut, chewy as anything. Soooo very disappointed. On a Saturday night, this cant have been the regular chefs night off, so very bad food. No we did not complain. The staff were lovely if the chef is that rubbish, sending stuff back, kicking up a sto...

We tried the George for a Sunday lunch following its recent management change. We were shown to our table by the waitress whom came promptly for the drinks order, followed by the food order. After a 45 min wait, the Sunday roasts arrived. The initial thought was poor quality food. Under cooked roast potatoes, near to raw parsnips, dry Yorkshire puddings, dry mash and thin gravy (which is a personal preference). The main disappointment was the dry and tough beef. Had to ask for sauces and waitress missed the chance to ask for further drinks, but we already had decided to leave asap. I offered my feedback to the restaurant manager whom apologised, as I overheard another customer adjusting what...

I ordered Baked Camembert cheese starter gluten free option,but was given Non gluten free, I asked as usual when I 'm presented with my meal, is this gluten free? I was told, 'it should be!! the server then returned with the rest of order, he then took back my food said better check with the kitchen, he then returned my food with Gluten Free bread, but in my opion they had just removed the gluten bread and just put gluten free bread on the same plate! With is totally unacceptable, I asked them correct their error was told the kitchen had given me a complete new meal, to which I feel they were lying as crumbs from the original bread were still on the plate!! All other meals we ordered were ve... Reserva una mesa ahora

Stopped here for lunch after dreaming about the homemade chips on my wet miserable walk, they are (were) the best ever. I was gutted to be presented with oven chips! I ordered scampi which was overdone. Partner got bangers and mash, which was also just average. The place seems to have changed hands. Even the orange squash was like dishwater. Staff were very friendly however food was just not up to scratch. Sad to say it but I certainly won’t be back after many years of this being a staple in my annual trip to Keswick.

Seated immediately by the lovely landlady. Stanley looked after us and bought our food out. The food was faultless. Steak and ale pie and chicken and mushroom pie, both with Mash, vegetables and gravy. Stanley’s sense of humour cracked me up. Hospitality is a difficult industry to be in and he had it covered. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Went for early dinner and had a great meal lovely food at good prices. Wide choice for vegetarians and the Spinach and mushroom Lasagne was really tasty. We were very well attended to during the meal the staff made sure that we were happy with everything and seemed to genuinely want us to have a positive experience. Would recommend.
