"What has happened to Table 8? I have sold this restaurant to friends for years. My husband and I went in today to be greeted by new staff who evidently do not understand service etiquette. Restaurant was empty bar a table of two and the waiter attempted to seat us next to them, a foot apart which we refused. Offered a pint glass for my wine!!!!! Had to request a stemmed one. Ordered starters, no problem with the food at all. However whilst clearing the starter plates away, the waiter asked if we would keep our used knives and forks, due to the fact that they were fully booked and had nobody washing up!!!!!!!! Really !!!!! I did think he was joking but obviously wasn’t. He didn’t come back to replenish our cutlery so when our main courses arrived I had to take cutlery from empty table next to us. Plus:::: on arrival of a local couple that use the restaurant regularly, they were told to come back at 4.00 this being at 2.30 or they could go to Wells!!!!!!! My husband and I offered to share our table even though there were only three tables being occupied. Our food was lovely but think service and staff could do with being educated on customer service. We will now go back to Wells where we have been going but thought we’d give Table 8 a try after a long while."

"I have been regularly visiting The George for several years and totally recommend it as a great local, good food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are always helpful and it is a beautiful old building too with a good garden for the better weather. ????????"

"We visited for lunch on New Year 's Day to celebrate a family birthday. We were welcomed warmly and the atmosphere was very convivial. From that point on things slid downhill. The portions looked mean and the food was not cooked well. For starters, my brother and I ordered the monkfish scampi which consisted of four diddy pieces of chewy monkfish (not all the membrane had been removed) in a hard batter. They tasted as if they 'd been sitting an hour under warming lamps. The others ordered baked camembert the like of which I 've never seen before. For £10, they were served half a small cheese standing upright which was sizzling on top and cold inside. It appeared to have been grilled under a salamander rather than baked in the oven. I ordered my main course from the specials, a 'chargrilled ribeye of pork '. I wasn 't sure what I got. It looked like a 1 inch thick slice of rolled pork. It was dry and lacked any chargrilled flavour. The roast potatoes were at least a day old and were leathery and difficult to cut and eat. Christmas leftovers? I hope not. I wish the circumstances had allowed me to take photos. Not once did our waiters ask if we were enjoying our food. Neither did they enquire when they cleared. My family isn 't used to complaining about food or service and as I was a guest, I felt obliged to hold my tongue. Had I been paying for my meal, I would have had no hesitation in commenting on the starter or sending my pork back. This place is expensive and has a pretty good reputation locally hence our disappointment. The website talks of the high quality, locally sourced ingredients; I 've no reason to doubt the provenance and quality but have to ask, 'What happened in the kitchen? ' I work in the business and know well how tight margins can be. I hate to write reviews like this knowing that they can effect someone 's livlihood but the kitchen and the hotel 's patrons deserve better than what we were served. Maybe the restaurant was just having a bad day. If so, it can 't afford too many more."

"Found this place online for Sunday breakfast and rode here on our motorbikes... and being a Sunday morning we were able to park outside. It has a charmingly quirky, retro style. Very friendly welcome from the staff and lovely service. The meals tasted great and were excellent value. We sat in the well-planted garden, although there was also indoor seating, because it was a hot, sunny day. Tables had parasols. Trees and shrubs provided some dappled shade and we heard the church bells striking the hour and quarters. Really nice ambience. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be here more often."

"We have eaten here quite a few times, always during the week. We normally cycle here, but this time drove. The menu always has something interesting and different. This time hubbie had monkfish with mustard mash; I chose calves liver with mash. I had 3 lovely pieces of thin, beautifully cooked liver and a huge pile of mash that I could not finish. We ordered a dish of vegetables between us, as they are needed with the main courses. There is always a good choice of vegetables, although hubbie is not fond of the Charanty carrots. The food is a little more expensive here than other places, but it is always good. The desserts are good, although we did not have any on this occasion. Cost of lunch with one large glass of wine and one water £45 with tip. Afterwards, I’d recommend that you visit their smokery shop and pick up some lovely goodies."
