Exhausted from hosting family over Christmas, I sneaked my mother out for a relaxed lunch in what is fast becoming one of our favourite local places. Once again The George lived up to expectation: the food was as always exceptionally well-prepared, tasty and fresh! The staff are so friendly - today Billy could not have looked after us better, a real star - thank you! We throughly enjoyed a completely relaxing couple of hours in The Garden Room which was warm and had wonderful music playing. I cannot recommend highly enough and we look forward to returning again very soon.
I booked this Hotel as an overnight stop ,as I was attending a family party locally . I only needed a basic room for this purpose , but was hit by the most awful smell when entering the room . Luckily I was taken to the room and the young man who had checked me in , acknowledged the smell , before I even said anything . He moved me to another room at the front of the building - this apparently was an upgrade , which he pointed out he would not make an additional charge ( I was surprised that this would even be considered !) The room was much larger than my needs , but smelt a lot better than the first room - UNTIL I went in to the bathroom . There was a milder but still unpleasant drain smell . I was running late and not impressed about the smell , but didn't have time to…
It was a treat.....we were treated by an old friend....and the George is a treat! We hadn’t been before but first impressions are so important. Friendly staff throughout. Fairly quick service on a busy lunchtime. Beautiful food served hot and attractive. Excellent choice. Good ambience with a selection of various side rooms suitable for family occasions. And,although I wasn’t paying(!!) ,the prices seemed to be very fair for the quality . If around again,it’s a great place to eat. Well done,George!!
We had to pre-order our lunch but this was not a problem as there was something for everyone. Sea Bass/Turkey?Lamb all proved to be popular and did not disappoint. The price was also reasonable for this time of the year and also the service was very good.
I stay here about once a month and am here at the moment. The rooms are beautiful the staff very friendly and the food amazing. The manager remembered my name the second time I stayed and is always very welcoming. The value for money is second to none. I keep coming back and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Shipston-on-Stour. If there was a George in every town life would be perfect.
