The recent renovation of The George's interior has been mostly positive, with one notable exception - the excessive number of doors. This results in a constant stream of people coming and going, creating a chilly dining experience. Despite this, the food was very good, though not always served hot enough, and slightly expensive. The white wine is never properly chilled, and the service can be hit or miss depending on the staff working that day. One consistent issue is the view from certain tables facing the kitchen - a fluorescent light, worktops, and tiling are not in line with the historical charm of the restaurant.

Beautiful views from the garden over the cricket pitch and pretty church, quintessentially English view. Service was good and very helpful staff generally. Our food was tasty and the ingredients were good quality but it was on the small side and the proportions felt a bit mean at times. We were going to have pudding because the desserts menu sounded lovely. Seeing the tiny desserts around us we changed our minds. I have never seen such tiny desserts and never seen cheesecake in such a minuscule size.. more like an amuse bouche than a dessert and would be miffed if we had paid nearly £8 for them.

We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding, and the staff were as friendly as always. The recent renovations to the pub have been tastefully done, enhancing the beauty of the historic building and its rich atmosphere. I highly recommend trying the chocolate mousse and other delicious desserts. My only suggestion would be to add more vegetarian options to the menu. Overall, I recommend paying a visit to this restaurant.

I have visited The George Inn twice in the past few weeks, once for breakfast and once for dinner, and was impressed both times. The food was delicious and creative, and the service was excellent as well. We dined in the charming historic dining room both times, but there is also a delightful terrace with views of the local cricket pitch that would be perfect on a summer day.

Called for late lunch got there just before kitchen closed and then had a wonderful dining experience. We had our family dog with us, who was made to feel as welcome as we were. The food was off a very high quality and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and helpful and made our meal an even more delightful experience. Will definitely eat there again.

We had a great cozy lunch at The George Inn. Lola was fantastic, she made us feel like we were regulars even though we were just stopping in on a trip to Bath. The food was delicious, and the new remodeled rooms are beautiful. Definitely would recommend!
