Considering the price, the meal was poor in flavour; it seems as though the chef thinks that all dishes are enhanced by cumin, and yet failed to mention it on the menu. Now I like cumin, but not in everything, and when we all discovered that each others’ dishes were cumin flavoured it became a standing joke. (To respond to an obvious reply from the restaurant; we are sure that some things on the menu won’t have contained it, we just didn’t have those starters or mains, and since there was no mention on the menu, we wouldn’t have known, so our comment stands). The service was barely adequate and considering the price was not a patch on other local restaurants we have been to, it just did not...
We were handed the Sample Restaurant Food Menu, as can be seen on-line. We looked at it, up and down and all came to the conclusion that it was pretty poor, none of us really fancying anything. I asked about the Thai Green Curry, noting that although £22.95, it did not contain any meat. I was told that some chicken could be added, presumably not cooked with the curry and at an even more inflated price. We were really struggling to find something to order. Eventually, we chose, but one of our number, in his mid 90s, was taking longer. The waitress was behind him making faces, both disrespectful and rude. We have been to The George many times over the years but never seen such a poor menu prev...
Have been coming here for a while always had a lovely Sunday especially the Lemon Chicken which is actually in the online menu , Sadly we were told it had been taken off apart from the Beef the rest of the menu was not inspiring. I have just rung again today to enquire if the chicken will be on again lady said menus change most weeks I informed her that it’s been on for many weeks and if it’s advertising it on line then it’s misleading , She replied that it was on last Sunday, I asked her if we did book again could they tell me if it would be on the menu she thought so but didn’t sound convincing . Sadly if the menu stays the same doubt we will return , so I agree with previous comments that...
Restaurant/bar staff disorganised and impolite in terms of greeting restaurant arrivals and taking drinks orders. After being left waiting for 10 minutes in bar, had to get up again to ask for some service from group of three restaurant staff who seemed to be standing together not doing very much. They then responded quickly but the subsequent table service was amateurish. Food itself was unimpressive for the price e.g. chicken terrine starter was hard and tasteless. Will think twice before returning. Pity, as it is one of our local restaurants.

What a find. We were advised that The George was the hostelry to visit whilst in Buckden (the other 2 did look dire . Helpful, friendly staff and warm enough to sit outside (late September . Excellent filter coffee served with Cream, complimentary biscuit and Sugar in a sealed mini Kilner Jar with spoon. Delightful features around the ground floor and a very elegant Gents Loo (signposted 'Boys with a fabulous Print of a male Nude in the style of Herb Ritts. Hayling Seagoon
Was treated to dinner by my wife's employer and found The George a great place for a nice meal and an undisturbed environment. The menu featured many interesting options and good wines. Service was very good. Will definitely be back!
Great food and excellent staff. We went for a 50th wedding anniversary meal with close family and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food. All the staff were charming attentive. (Oh and lovely toilets!
Four colleagues Christmas menu dinner, the food was exceptional and the service was perfect. Thank you for a fabulous evening. The toilet facilities out of this world and incredibly clean. 9/10.

The George ran a game theme dining experience, paired with fine wines from Amps. At £45 per head for a delicious meal, rounded off with cheese and port very good value for money. Good job.
A very pleasant stop off on our walk. A spacious bar area with classy furnishings and nice staff. Drinks expensive but good in a relaxed atmosphere.
