The George Of Spaldwick

The food at this restaurant was fantastic. However, the service could use some improvement. We had to ask for the bill multiple times before receiving it, and we had to request spoons for our desserts as none were provided initially. The waitstaff seemed inexperienced, as they were using incorrect utensils and examining glasses after a large table left. Despite this, they were always polite. The atmosphere was pleasantly quiet for a Friday evening in December, and the food was delivered quickly and reasonably priced. Overall, we would still consider returning due to the excellent quality of the food.

I went to The George with a group of 13 for an early Christmas dinner. The food was fantastic - I ordered the turkey which was generous, well-cooked, and came with a great selection of vegetables. The stuffing roll was especially delicious. The trifle was perfect, with plenty of sherry and very indulgent. The staff were all polite, friendly, and welcoming. The service was attentive and well-timed. We had a wonderful time and I definitely plan on returning.

The establishment is typical English with English values with a warm welcome. The ales are of good quality and as I’ve experienced rotation is frequent. The food that I have had the pleasure of tasting was always enjoyable and with a chef exchange the food has a twist which I’m sure you will enjoy. As a contractor, Sunday lunch is reasonably priced and excellent quality and with all the food here veg is of abundance. I highly recommend frequenting and meeting Paul behind the bar and Ren the owner of ‘The George’. Shame I have to move on. Enjoy!

Sunday lunch, over an hour before we had any food,Service so slow, the people at the next table also commented on the awful service, Not enough staff. When it arrived food was poor, smoked salmon just out of a packet,roast beef,luke warm. , vegetables under cooked. Didn’t stay for dessert. Would not recommend this place,

Well. What can I say. This was the first ‘date night’ for my husband and I in some time. I wish I had paid heed to the negative reviews as was a ‘child free’ night totally wasted. We are not fussy people. So could have let the 1 hour wait between ordering starters and then being served… go. Not to mention the many items advertised in the menu being unavailable. Again, would let this go if what we were served was half decent. Sadly, all 4 starters were inedible. Calamari such low quality and drenched in salt- so have constitution of an ox but couldn’t eat it. When sent back was told by the young serving man that ‘the chef doesn’t add any salt’. Implying we were lying. Chicken wings stone cold. Houmous served chilled and with cold flat bread. At that point made decision to leave. Complained to manager and albeit very understanding ie ‘we are having a bad night’, still made us pay for drinks we wouldn’t had bought had we not needed to wait so long. ‘Yes pal, not as bad as our night’! Felt sorry for very young staff who were very polite but out of their depth and left to fend for themselves on the brunt of many complaints this evening. Speaks volumes that we ran in to the table of 4 next to us at Atlantis fish and chip bar half an hour later! Just awful, they need to try and avoid things going wrong and learn how to deal with them when they do. We will never return. A simple gesture of compensation for a terrible experience goes a long way!
