    It'd been some years since I last ate at George IV and it was just as good as I remembered it! The atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon was busy but not hectic, the service was slick and the food was lovely. Special mention to the hummus and flatbread starter which was delicious and the roast (and trimmings) did not disappoint! Would highly recommend.
