   We ordered the cote de boeuf, the cooking was good but the cut of meat was poor. Grizzly and fatty so we couldn’t eat it all making it poor value for money I expected better quality meat. Service was very good and restaurant was lovely. Whitebait starter was very tasty.

   Great food, nicely cooked. Lovely ambience, a nice olde worlde pub in the middle of Rye. I had booked a table for 1 pm. When we arrived we were met with a man who seemed to have no idea I had booked a table and hurredly pushed two tables together for our party of 4 people. No smile or greeting, "hello" welcome would have been so nice - the simple niceties were missing....

   Had a nice experience for Mother’s Day. We had a lovely waiter and he was so polite to us and funny, a real honest gentleman, took photos and was very considerate of us. I hope he’s recognised for his service. The food was nice I had a lovely medium rare steak, and the vegetarian option was beautiful in presentation. The desserts was nice but could have been better. The only downside was that one of the chefs was very loud, it started off a little annoying but he got more funnier by the end of the night, but he was a little loud, but he was having fun and we all need more of that these days. The waiter thought was 10/10

   Such amazing staff and food, we visited for my Nan’s birthday and they heard us talking about it and surprised us with a sweet treat at the end for her. Highly recommend!

   It was a wonderful occasion for the celebration of our wedding anniversary with our 87 Yr old mother. The staff were sympathetic and kind. The food was delicious. We'll definitely return again soon!

   Roast menu is limited to beef only which is fine but would have been great to have more options. That said it was very good but slightly over priced for 2 thin slices of beef, even if it was good quality.

   Very disappointed. My wife had to complain about her Hake main course, and they took it off the bill, but it spoilt the whole experience.

    We had dinner at The George Grill as part of an overnight stay and found it to be excellent. The food was delicious and well presented, and the staff were professional and welcoming. A big thank you to our waiter (who was from the Canary Islands) and was friendly, very attentive and provided an excellent service. We had the Romney Marsh lamb for starters which tasted amazing, followed by the Hake and clams with coconut verde sauce, equally delicious. Dessert and cheeses were fab. The following morning we thoroughly enjoyed the continental and cooked breakfast. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the smoked salmon was high quality. This is our second visit here and although the menu may be limited for some, it is of high standard.
