"We had been to this pub on several occasions over 3 months and were very pleased with the food and the attentive staff . On this particular day I ordered the Sunday roast beef but I couldn 't get my knife through the sinews of the meat and asked for a sharper knife but they didn 't have one. I left most of the meat because I couldn 't cut through it and when the waitress came to clear the table and she asked if we had enjoyed the meal I pointed out to her that the beef wasn 't very good as I couldn 't cut through it which meant I had eaten very little of it which she could see. The restaurant was very busy and I didn 't want to make any further complaint at the table but when I went to pay the lady manager asked me if I had enjoyed the meal and I told her about the beef to which she said the chef managed to tear it apart with his hands . She had an air of indifference and handed me the bill and said I had been the only person to have made a complaint. I enjoy my beef and would not have left it on the plate had it been palatable. She made me feel very uncomfortable, but begrudgingly said she would remove my meal from the bill. I told her I was upset with her attitude and because of her I would not be going to the 5 Dials again. They had every opportunity to ask if I would like something else or another piece of meat when I first said I couldn 't cut through it but they didn 't."

"We first called into the George in October this year for lunch on the way to a family holiday on the south coast. The welcome we got on that occasion was so memorable and the food so good that we thought we would try and book a Christmas meal. What a fantastic choice we made. Helen and the team went overboard to accommodate us, from the minute we walked through the door we felt so welcome. The meal itself was fantastic. We cannot comment negatively about anything except the brussels sprouts but then its a standard Christmas joke. In reality the sprouts were great. The locals were friendly and we had a good banter after our meal. My wife commented dont tell my mum but that is probably the best christmas dinner ive ever had and the roasties were to die for The ambience of the George is perfect, music you can hear if you hear a special song but not so loud that you have to raise your voice to hold a conversation. Accomodation is spacious and comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. I must also mention the breakfast. Again, up there with the best we 've had. It takes a special team to make a pub special and the George has got that one spot on. We look forward to visiting again soon Jim Deb"

"Lived locally my whole life but never visited strangely. Kept seeing posts of the food from one of my Facebook friends and knew it was one we needed to try! On arrival we all commented on how nice the pub physically was my sister’s partner was super excited by the stone baked pizzas. We had a fantastic night, the food was superb with a great variety of options for all tastebuds. All the staff were friendly and the waitresses super attentive. Really couldn’t fault it and will definitely be back again. Our new favourite place"

"We found this pub after searching for local restaurants on google maps. We chose it as it had a very appealing menu. Immediately on entering the pub the owner greeted us warmly and asked what we would like. He handed us 2 menus, we made our choice and found an empty table to where he said our meal would be brought. It arrived no more than 10 mins later and was top quality home cooking. My wife had a boeuf bourginione and I had a vegetarian lasagne both with potatoes and salad and both equally delicious and well presented. We finished off with a home made warm berry crumble, also delicious. The owner came over several times to ask if everything was OK. We find it rare to be given such a warm and genuine welcome and we will definitely be going again next time we're in the area"
