The George At Burpham - Arun

Good food off a limited menu. Booking essential. Plenty of walkers passing through and sitting on the outside tables with a beer and a bowl of chips. Food was original and delicious. Drinks took longer than expected due to the walking fraternity numbers at the bar. Top tip get there early queue at the bar for your drink then go to your reserved table with first drink in hand.

We had a delightful dining experience at a charming countryside pub! The menu was delicious and offered something for everyone, in a beautiful setting. The young staff were attentive and pleasant. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was disrupted by two loud and opinionated locals who monopolized the staff's time, insisting on their expertise in how battered fish should be cooked and comparing it to a local fish and chip shop. It's a shame they don't appreciate the local resources and the resilience of the business in difficult times. Despite that, I highly recommend visiting this lovely traditional pub. We will certainly be returning in the summer!

Burpham is out of the way. The George needs to be a destination. It emphatically is for all who appreciate an ambitious country pub menu with new ownership/management in place. For a weekday lunch Chef Martin gave the dishes the extra attention that makes the difference. Kentucky fried pheasant with polenta chips was meltingly tender, the pheasant having been soaked for one night in brine, the next in buttermilk. The chips were light, perfectly formed and fried. Sole [on the bone] with ratte potatoes and monks beard was notable for the freshness and size of the locally caught fish. Posset with marshmallow for pudding was delicate and delicious. A lunch such as this would best be earned with a walk in the surrounding countryside.

We had a great lunch here whilst on a lengthy ramble in this wonderful area. The food is top-notch, as is the beer, and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. We didn't want to leave but the hills were calling.

We were recomended by our son, We were down for the new year .We were greeted by a delightful young lady named Gracie .she was a most attentive waitress,perfect service . The choice on the menu was excellent ,food presentation and quality was superb.Despite me hardly ever having a desert I couldnt resist my favourite Tarte tatin.YUM!!!!!!!. A varied selection of wine to choose from .Reasonably priced. Decor very tasteful,Sort of shabby chic .Despite getting lost we most certainly will return.Cant wait to try the sunday lunch.We live in Essex but have a house at Middleton,so cant wait for our next visit .There is only one thing that wasnt great that was the lack of lighting and the pot holes on the way to the car park. Ok when you arrived at the car park a light came on and the surface was great. Just the bit inbetween.Thanks Guys for a lovely evening.Good food Good wine Good service what more could you want.
