"We were cycling The Midshires Way and found our way to Great Oxenden via a precarious but pretty footpath (The Jurassic Way) with steps from the main track. Path NOT recommended if you have heavy cycles as there are two stiles en route. It ‘is’ a footpath, not a bridleway I suppose, so be warned. The George is a gastro-pub with a large car park and is finished beautifully inside. It also has a delightful patio area and gardens to enjoy in good weather. There isn’t a way around to the back so they kindly let us roll or bicycles through the dining area to the garden so we could keep a close eye on them. It’s a full service establishment so drinks are brought to you which was nice and the landlady/manager was friendly and welcoming. I chose the Friday fish and chips special which wasn’t one of the posher choices on the extensive menu, but it was delicious with freshly prepared mashed garden peas and a very nice tartare sauce. I chose the chunky chips which were tasty, cooked perfectly and very plentiful. It was good value at £16 We were treated to a thick slice of fantastic homemade bread which was delicious. My wife chose the sirloin steak, which, at £25, wasn’t cheap and unfortunately was very gristly. The flesh was very nice, but it was a struggle and not ideal. When we mentioned this however and showed the gristly, stringy remains the staff were disinterested and no offer was made to reduce the bill, which would definitely have been appropriate. We aren’t serial complainers but in the light of the lack of response regret not sending it back to the kitchen straight away. You live and learn. It’s a shame because this is a pleasant, sophisticated place with a warm welcome and at least initially, good service. If you are looking to dine in the area, In preference I would recommend a real treat, The Bull’s Head at Clipstone, which is considerably less expensive than The George. The Bull’s Head also differs in that it is a genuine country pub but with outstanding food and great service. We also tried The Stag at Maidwell, which was good and reasonably priced. They do close at 3pm on a Saturday though so be prepared to be cast out into the rain if you’re unlucky with the weather as we were ! "

Have been here a few times now and it is my fave place to go. The service and surroundings are so nice and the food is delicious. I always recommend this place to friends and family. The Sunday lunch is gorgeous, a must. I wish they were open on Christmas day. Voir le carte

Sometimes on a Sunday only a roast lunch with all the trimmings hits the spot, then the George is the place to go for the right experience, wonderful food cooked to perfection with portions that satisfy the hungriest diner. The restaurant manager Rachel is very professional with her team who follow her lead to deliver great service to ensure all diners enjoy the experience of dining at the George.

We have visited The George for Sunday lunch on a few occasions and the food has always been excellent. I therefore decided to stop overnight as a birthday treat with my partner, with a dinner in the evening. We had a lovely stay. Our room was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The bar and restaurant are equally well designed and have a relaxed atmosphere. Our dinner and breakfast the following day were delicious, and my food intolerances really well catered for. All the staff were friendly and professional. We wouldn’t hesitate to repeat our stay.

Situated on the main Harborough to Northampton Road, there is plenty of on site parking. The decor is welcoming and there is a lovley garden for the Summer months with proper tables and chairs (not picnic benches). We visited on a Friday lunchtime when the special of the day was Fish and Chips, the full menu was also available at this time. Having seen a meal being served we felt we just had to go for the special which was £16.95 inlcuding a glass of wine. Portions were generous and we were not disappointed. Service was friendly. We will be returning to try some of the other items on the menu, worth a visit. Voir le carte

I booked a table for two for my wife’s birthday online having had a few recommendations from friends. As we had our toddler with us, I telephoned beforehand to ensure we could have a suitable table to avoid disturbing other diners. The staff were very thoughtful and reserved a table in the main restaurant and another in the bar area for whichever we felt best suited us when we arrived, which was very helpful. The food was good both in terms of quality and value (including my sons food). The service was attentive and welcoming. The variety on the drinks menu and wine list was also good. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and we will return for sure.

We were here for Sunday lunch, an anniversary actually. The staff are always great but today we felt the lunch could have been more interesting. There were no roasted root vegetables, there was no red cabbage, no Yorkshire pud with the pork, no butter on the veg and the potato mash could have been something more interesting as there were already roast potatoes. The pork was a little tough. The gravy was lovely as was the mash. The roast potatoes were fine and the mixed veg all nicely cooked. The rhubarb semifreddo needed more rhubarb and the lemon posset needed more lemon the Viennese biscuit was delightful. We did end up feeling slightly disappointed. This is a very critical review and shou...
