"Drinks ordered 2 pints of Fosters at £5.25/pint, served in generic unbranded glasses. When I asked the barmaid “are all the Fosters’ glasses waiting to be washed”, she replied “no, we don’t have any Fosters branded glasses, we only have these unbranded glasses”. The lager soon went flat as the unbranded pint glasses did not have the basic standard nucleated head saver at the base of the glass. It’s a bit rich to charge £5.25 then have the audacity to serve it in a non branded cheap money saving glass! Food we ordered the creamy garlic mushroom starters, eventually arrived were barely tepid. When asked by the waitress was everything all right, I commented by saying the starters were both just tepid that we’d appreciate the main courses being hot. Main courses arrived, got order wrong on one of the dishes, chips not fries but accepted the error. My wife had the pie dish I had the lasagne. AGAIN, both dishes were served tepid majority of food left untouched. The kitchen staff need to understand the simple basics of cooking hot food should be served hot. Why? Simple, heat brings out the flavour of the food, that’s why it’s supposed to be served hot! Or if the kitchen staff do understand the relevance importance of serving hot dishes hot then maybe it’s a simple case of a couldn’t care attitude. A couple of evenings later we visited the Good Companion pub not more than half a mile down the same road incredible friendly atmosphere with plenty of staff to serve on a very busy night, Fosters £4.25/pint served in excellent Fosters glasses, piping hot very tasty food served at sensible prices. Watch out George, you have a significant competitor on your doorstep. You will need to raise your game to a minimal basic standard to have any chance of surviving!"

Lovely meal. Greeted by Luke and great service from Jack, Izzy and Bella. Food was really well prepared and portion sizes good. Restaurant was busy but we didn’t have long to wait for starters or mains. Great night out. Good atmosphere. Recommend.

We booked a table to have a family lunch at the George on Christmas eve. Though not everything went according to plan the food was very well cooked and tasty. Our waitress was exceptional at looking after us. Izzy made us very welcome, sorted out issues quickly and without fuss. She pre-empted any complaint and arranged a discount on the bill before we even thought about it. Well done Izzy and thank you.

Dinner with a group of friends to celebrate the festive season (although none of us had the festive menu). Our main waiter was Jack. He was very attentive and professional. Kat took over from him and she was equally as lovely. The food and drink orders taken as required and time for service was fine. Our food was hot and tasty with large portions. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Will certainly visit again. View menu

Probably the worst meal myself and family have ever had. Yorkshire pudding over cooked fell to bits as you cut into it roast potatoes over cooked. Vegetarian gravy very salty and congealed in pot only way to get it out was with a knife. Burger was cold and tasted unpleasant. Also, to add insult to injury we were given the bill for another table which was twice what we should have paid. Only resolved when we queried why we were being charged for items we hadn’t consumed.

A fair time since we were last here. Reading through the reviews we thought we would give it a try. We were pleasantly impressed with whole dining experience. Warm welcome from Luke, service was a perfect pace. The food which was recommended by Luke (Pork belly Seafood grill) was a brilliant choice, tasty and perfectly prepared. Compliments to the chef. Dessert (bakewell tart and custard) was yummy. Customer service we received from Luke was excellent and will definitely return. ,

"After many years, on recommendation of others, went to this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Whilst the food was excellent, the service was atrocious and totally ruined what should have a lovely night out on a very special occasion. Booked for and seated...promptly. Orders for aperitifs taken and drinks brought promptly. Order for wine taken, bottle brought and opened. Then it all went downhill. Waited for over minutes for our meal order to be taken and that only happened because I signalled to the girl behind the bar that I was getting unhappy. First course then took about minutes to arrive. However our main course took until to arrive. I have never ever waited minutes for a main course to arrive. It would not have been so bad if the staff had shown any interest or we had been able to grab hold of one to ask what was going on, they just seemed to totally ignore us! As mentioned earlier, the food, when it did arrive, was very good, it would have been even better if the side order of vegetables my wife had ordered had also arrived. We did ask what had happened to them but when we were told they had been overlooked, decided to just make do and share mine. To add insult to injury, while we were waiting we noticed that other couples were eating dishes that were not on the menu we had been given. I later found out that we were supposed to have been given a specials menu but this had also been overlooked. At the end, the manager was very apologetic and gave a cursory discount however this was not the point. It was a special occasion at a not inexpensive restaurant I would have preferred to pay the full price and not had a ruined evening. Needless to say, we will not be returning."

"After reviewing the menu, we decided to go for a 'running buffet' and shared a variety of dishes, reordering every ten minutes or so. I asked everyone to rate each dish on a scale of 1 to 5, and every main dish received a perfect score of 5, except for the Szechuan Prawns, which got a 5.5, and the sizzling spicy chicken, which scored a 6! The rice and noodles were all delicious—fluffy, tasty, and well-seasoned—but we gave them all a rating of 4 simply because the mains were exceptional. The standout dishes were the Char Siew (honey pork), which we ended up ordering three times, and the sizzling hot spicy chicken, which we ordered twice. It had a delightful kick of heat, was tender and moist, and had a wonderful sauce—even though I tried to manage the scores, they rated it a 6! The Szechuan prawns were plump, firm, and cooked to perfection, and they scored a very hard-fought 5.5, with just the right amount of heat. One of the boys was a bit picky, but we requested a serving of Singaporean noodles without vegetables for him without any hassle. This isn’t just average food; it’s really good, and it comes out quickly, looks appealing, and tastes fantastic—reflecting its price. We also tried the 'wine by the glass' options. The white Chilean Sauvignon Blanc paired well with the food, while I enjoyed an Australian Shiraz that complemented the beef, pork, and spicy dishes nicely. The Italian 'Blush' rosé was also a hit. We're already planning to return on Monday with another group of six to explore more of the menu, and I’m genuinely looking forward to it. If you truly appreciate good food, I highly recommend trying Chef Peking!"
