George Inn

Magic Cooking. We popped in here a couple of weeks ago and had the delicious sounding seafood risotto. Wow, how can one chef destroy what should be an easy meal to cook and enjoy. They had magically removed all taste and flavour. My guess is that it was cooked some days before and reheated. Absolutely tasteless.

The staff are very friendly and professional. 4 of us ordered the lunchtime steak sandwich, all of which were cooked to perfection to each persons taste. The gravy served with it was a delicious addition. Sasha who served us was so helpful. One of our groups is GF and she went out of her way to explain the many choices available. Thank you for a very pleasant dining experience .

Three of us arrived for Friday evening supper. Young but very attentive serving staff, who looked after us beautifully. We started with the sharers board with a side of the crispy chicken. This was followed by a signature burger which was well cooked, good onion rings and crispy chips. We also had the fish and chips, we decided to have the extra bread and butter and scampi, we probably wouldnt do that again. The fish was tasty and well cooked. The final meal was the smothered chicken. This was rather over cooked and dry but a good flavour. I probably just had bad luck. The pub is welcoming and you are always comfortable there. It suits all ages, the parking is good the location is amazing. I would certainly recommend it.

Went there for Sunday lunch. One of had a roast, one fish and chips, and I had a seafood risotto. My risotto was fabulous - way better than pub grub. Lovely old building, warm, cosy atmosphere and cheerful staff. Busy but not crowded. Recommended.

Location is lovely. Right next to the Kennet & Avon Canal & a lovely gentle 2-mile walk from Bath city Centre. Has a nice garden and staff were very helpful and friendly. Classic pub meals at a reasonable price. Didn't have to wait long for food & drinks once ordered. Food was enjoyable and appreciated after working up an appetite on our walk. Ladies rest room was a bit tired looking would reasonably clean.

Lovely pub in a the most perfect setting next to the canal. Ordered the grilled vegetable tart and a chicken /bacon sandwich and the food was simply not good lacking flavor and presentation . Adrian tried his best to tend too many tables which made everything take a bit longer than necessary. Hope they can do better as the pub has everything it needs to be successful .

15 of us went to the George for Christmas meal. The menu selectuon process online worked well and the menu choices were interesting with proper Chistmas themed choices. The service was good and timely the food was generous and excellent quality. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

It's a shame that I'm writing this 1* review as we've visited The George many times for Sunday roasts over the years and have had very good meals. However we visited today (Sunday October 5th) and had a dreadfully disappointing experience. The pub was quiet when we arrived at 1230 but we were left waiting an age to be shown to our table (we had booked) and then a long time to be served. We ordered one roast turkey and one roast pork. Both were mediocre at best. The menu states the roast potatoes are roasted in duck fat , garlic and rosemary. They absolutely weren't. They were flaccid and bland and in no way crispy and the only duck fat they had been likely to have seen was on the mallards bobbing along on the canal outside. The parsnips were hard as rocks and not crispy either, the "sausage meat stuffing" had no sausage meat in it. The potatoes, parsnips, mashed swede and stuffing all seemed like they were Aunt Bessies frozen (or a similar brand) and had been whopped through the microwave two minutes before being served up. While the waitresses were pleasant, at no point did anyone come and see if everything was ok; no asking if we wanted extra drinks or desserts, no interaction on paying our bill. They were smiley enough but really looked like they'd rather be anywhere but there. The George has always been our "go to" for a Sunday roast but unfortunately we'll be giving it a miss for the foreseeable after today.

Solid pub meal - fun place to stop after walking along the canal. Nice staff and great location

Used to be a fantastic, simple country pub - ploughmans lunches, ale etc. Now it is some kind of weird hybrid between a restaurant, a chippy and a pub. The Cesar Salad is perhaps one of the worst I have had...perhaps the Fish & Chips are better?

I am not surprised to learn that this is a chain. I was very disappointed. The inside of the pub has been ruined and the food was diabolical and not cooked from scratch, which is what I'd expect from a pub that is known for its food. Still, the building is beautiful on the outside and the location could not be more pleasant. There are lots of tables inside and out and the staff is very nice. Not one single local beer on tap! I am only giving it ** because despite all the lovely things it has going for it, the food is what it is known for and it was tasteless and not cooked from scratch. The soup tasted as though it was out of a tin but i discovered that it came from a packet. Soup is so easy to make. It was horrid.

My favourite pub in the whole Bath and Bristol region, there is no better place for a Sunday lunch or dinner! The pub itself is a period building located in a quiet, picturesque nestling of a leafy village that immediately conveys warmth, character and a quaint, English charm. Indoors is a well-spaced yet homely feel, adorned with wooden beams and a fireplace too. Most of the pub is open plan yet cosy, and seating in an enclosed area is available too. In warmer climes however, you can dine on the terrace or out at the front. Not all tables are provided with sun-brellas though, and those without can leave you exposed to the sun. The staff tends to be locals or Bath Uni students, all of whom are polite. A varied menu offers generous portions of home-cooked British favourites, steaks and salads as well as a specials board featuring more contemporary and upmarket dishes. The food is very satisfying indeed, and desserts are equally sumptuous. What differentiates this pub from the rest though is its wonderful location, being situated by a canal towpath. During the summer there are few lovelier places to be. After lunch/dinner, you can work off the meal by going for a leisurely stroll along the canal or sit on the banks. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. This is somewhere you'd always look forward to coming back again and again.

Love this place, fish and chips are lovely! good value for money and has recently been done up! The restaurant does turn more formal at night turning into waitress service taking your order from the tables although at lunch its very relaxed and they can either take your order or you can go to the bar at your leisure-which I prefer! I do recommend and visit here often.

The George at Bathampton is perhaps best known in the summer months, as most people of walk or cycle along the canal will stop there for a drink or some food at some point! In the summer it is lovely as it has a large seating area outside and a large expanse of grass right next to the canal where you can stop and lie on the grass with a beer. It's also lovely and cosy in the winter too though! Inside the pub is all wood and traditional features, it's welcoming and friendly and a large place so there is usually a table free. The menu is good, and the food hearty and a good selection of beers and wine are available.

1. Had to wait over an hour for meal and it wasn't that busy 2. One of our meal was slightly burnt and didn't taste very nice 3. Poor value for money due to small portions

Costumer service was rubbish , waiting time was far to long

Chef and Brewer chain pub. Above average, consistent food. Great canalside location. Not too expensive, but there are better places to go in the area. Good for a stop off if walking/cycling to Bradford along the canal.

Magnificent food and service, we stopped there our first night and ended up eating there every day of our stay it was so good

very disappointed to discover that we now have to pay to park in the carpark! it only gives 3hours which is not long if you wish to go for a decent walk along the canal and have a meal on your return which we have done many times we will not be visiting again
