The Garden Room At The George

Oh my goodness. Visiting an iconic restaurant, the atmosphere was still good, but unfortunately it's just not the same as it used to be. The iconic crab and shrimp cocktail has now turned into three iceberg salads, a bucket of small prawns that were later revealed to contain white meat on one side and some tomatoes, with a side of sauce. It felt like it was made by a 5-year-old, all for the price of £20.00. Another starter we ordered came with arrogance when we calmly complained. The maitre d' didn't seem too concerned. In the end, a lovely waitress asked if we would prefer white crab meat instead, but at £20.00, it should have been better. We ended up spending £111.00 for two soups, a lackluster dish, a grilled cocktail, and a dessert plus water. We had a much better meal in London yesterday with a view of the Thames, where the food was tastier, the staff were friendlier, and it was more centrally located. It's sad, very sad. This restaurant needs a management overhaul and the chef who made our meal should reconsider their approach. This iconic restaurant may not last unless changes are made soon.

Although quite small and local, my recent visit to The George in Stamford was exceptional. I went with a friend for lunch and was extremely impressed. The staff, from the receptionist to the servers, were welcoming and attentive. The meal was served at the perfect pace and each dish was delicious. I can't thank The George enough for a wonderful afternoon. I am looking forward to returning soon for their delicious afternoon tea.

1 starter (6 small garnels in garlic butter) £50.00 gave management opportunity to check not interested!

Visiting the George has become an extremely expensive treat. £16 for a cheese and tomato sandwich and a small bottle of beer. I must say this time I found the staff and service acceptable.

Lunch with friends on a sunny Saturday, this place was packed, so book or arrive early! Food is excellent, although took a long time to arrive. But the service was shocking, drinks were challenging to order, no one came to check if the food was...OK. Second round of drinks again took 3 waiters to sort out and then the coffee was served with most of it in the saucer!!
