The George At Donyatt - South Somerset

If I had a pound for every time I have driven past the George…. Had Sunday lunch today and I can’t fault the place brilliant staff great welcome and a very much needed relaxed meal with fantastic food. Well done guys we will be calling in more often 10/10

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

The George was warm and welcoming and the staff were very helpful. We chose two courses from the Wednesday fixed price menu at £17.70 per head which we thought was good value for money. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed our meal. The choice of ale was limited but my husband had Guinness which was fine and I had a half of a locally brewed beer. When the bill arrived it was for over £65 and I could see the mistake immediately as we had been charged for the 2 fixed price two course meals plus another 2 starters. I politely said that I thought the bill was wrong at which point it was recalculated. I have to say I found two things really disappointing the chap behind the bar was very offhand about making a mistake with the bill and offered no apology at all. I also think Guinness at £6 a pint is very pricey...we don't pay that in London pubs.

We visited here for my father in law's birthday. Helen had put banners up on the wall and on the tables for us when we arrived. The food was good value for money and delicious. The service was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend the pub to any of our friends .We were accommodated at short notice as well, less than 24 hours.

Good quality food which was fairly priced, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the pub had a nice atmosphere. Would recommend.
