"edible maternal day lunch my first visit at the george in the beautiful village great amwell. from the moment we went, the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Drinks arrived immediately, as well as each of the 3 courses during our stay. it has a nice cozy atmosphere and eating is not only very well presented, it tastes delicious. more restaurant quality eat in a pub. it is not the cheapest place in the world, with menu prices that touch on london prices, but when they are in demand, and the people are happy to pay. then what can they expect me to return and recommend for a beautiful meal"

"Oh my god, it was a year ago when we visited last. The food then was brilliant, but this surpassed every expectation. The sardines as a starter and the garlic and chilli prawns which we kind of shared were outstanding, I had the veal as my main with black olives and capers in a rich sauce, I’m still dreaming of it, the other half had the seafood pasta, he wouldn’t give me a taste as he hugged his bowl with a broad grin on his face, so took that to be a hit. Dessert I had the lightest tiramisu ever, he had I don’t know what, he wouldn’t tell me, but it was so delicious, he admitted in the car on the way home he had just taken a stab at the desert menu as had forgotten his glasses, but I’m glad he did."

"This was my first visit and will definitely not be my last! A warm, friendly welcome, great menu, and superb choice of wines. We all had the trio of roast meats, and it was all so tasty, large portions-lots of roast potatoes and fresh veg. Nothing was too much trouble. Our waitress Sophie was efficient, friendly, and very professional. The wine was out of stock that we wanted so we chose a different one which was chilled to perfection. We were on our way home from a girls' weekend, so we all had luggage, which was kindly stored in the office while we ate our meals. It was the perfect ending to our weekend and we all said we would return and recommend. Thank you to all the staff for a lovely dining experience."

"I can’t really review the pub or the food but only my experience a few weeks ago. Myself and 3 sisters had driven from Oxford on our way to our sisters funeral, at St Elizabeth’s convent just 20 minutes from Wareside. We had stopped at the pub many times over the years. It was a Monday. There were many signs outside the pub, all saying it was open. We were early for the funeral, so decided to stop for teas and coffees (as we had in the past) As we got out of the car and made our way to the entrance, a woman was sat in her car in the car park, opened her door, and asked ‘can I help you’ we were like, it’s ok thanks, we are stopping off here for coffee?. Her response was ‘well, the pub is closed, and it is a pub, we sell alcohol if you want coffee, you should go back and stop at Costa’s!! Her tone was very rude and sarcastic! We pointed out that the signs said it was open, to which she replied, they forgot to take them down. We asked her if the pub over the road was open (Chequers) to which she replied it is a pub , they sell alcohol.We were all shocked how rude and sarcastic she was. I’m assuming she was the landlady. If she was a member of staff then whoever manages her needs to teach her how to talk to customers. I just checked on the website, and they serve tea and coffee?"

"Everything is jolly but the food! After lovely a day out, four of us decided to have a pub supper and saw the Jolly Fisherman as we were passing through Stanstead Abbots. It looked idyllic being a hot sunny day and with the river location, it was just too wonderful to miss. The atmosphere was pleasant and everywhere looked clean, we also noticed quite a few group reservations, it was a good sign. Being early Saturday evening, the place was lively with mainly family groups and friends enjoying the garden area. We started off very well. The service was not bad considering it was busy. We loved the wine, the house red was particularly enjoyable, room temperature and silky smooth. The chardonnay was equally good, fruity and chilled. Unfortunatley, it all went downhill from there. Two of us ordered the Baked Enchiladas, the others had a chef's special Thai Prawn Curry. Our friend had a Beef Nachos sharers dish as a main. Frankly, it would have been good to see a main meal salad option, being a hot sunny day. The Enchiladas looked like they were cooked in a microwave two small non descript rolls were dished on a small round plate. I didn't see any bubbling cheese on top, there was pockets of water and the bread itself was quite a soggy dough consistency. Definitely not baked. However, it tasted OK. A small garnish sized salad was placed on a hot plate and wilted and no dressing was provided. The Thai King Prawn curry had about 4 small prawns and no more than 4 tiny crackers. The Beef Nachos was mainly corn chips and little substance with the jalapenos being on the mushy side. The average cost of the main meals was just under £9 each. I have had better sized starters from other chain pub restaurants ie Harvester, Wetherspoons, Old English Inns. As we were all very hungry we ate up and left stating we were disappointed. If it was not for my elderly mother being in the group, we would have just got up and left. I think we were all better off buying the same food in a supermarket and just heating it up ourselves at a fraction of the cost mirroring the basic and plain presentation with no attention to detail. We went home still hungry. I would return again to the pub as it is in a good location, but definitely not for food. PS However, since writing I did make a complaint to McMullen pubs and to give them credit I had a very prompt reply. They have since provided a voucher with assurances that they willl look into the issues and resolve any bad practices. I look forward to returning again in the near future and will update my review"
