"I had this place recommended to me by someone who lives locally, so I made a point to stop by there on of my trips down the A303. I'm very pleased to say I've found my new favourite pub! Came in on a very busy Sunday and was very warmly greeted by the gentleman working front of house. They've got an excellent range of drinks to fit all tastes, with good local options and some lovely wines. The food was perfection, brought out by very warm and considerate staff. If I could have every meal created by their chefs I would be the happiest person on earth! I'll have to make more trips down that way to try my way through their menu top to bottom (and probably a few more times after that! They told me they're planning to do afternoon tea soon, so I'll make sure I book myself in for that as soon as possible too!"

One of the best steaks I’ve had! The staff were outstanding and delivered a fast, attentive service. An excellent evening out with friends. Highly recommended and I hope to be back.

We had an amazing evening at this restaurant! The food was fantastic and all 10 of us had our dishes brought out at the same time. The service was exceptional and the food was top-notch. I highly recommend this place!

Great news - the original staff members have returned and the restaurant is running smoothly with delicious food. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is friendly. There is a cozy bar area, as well as a spacious dining room and a snug area.

This one night stay was flawless. The pod was lovely, the continental breakfast and coffee machine hit the spot, the pub is a real gem, the food was tremendous and no surprise to see the chef Phil has won awards. The service we got from Natasha was the best service we have had all year welcoming and brilliant throughout. We would like to come back if we can, we enjoyed driving for 10 minutes then having a lovely countryside walk over pretty, hills fields and lanes.

This charming pub is located in a picturesque village just off the A303. It offers accommodation as well. A group of friends and I dined here and found it to be bustling with locals and other diners. We all relished our main courses, particularly the delicious steaks. The desserts were also scrumptious. The dishes were nicely presented and flavorful. The service at the front of house was a bit hectic, likely due to the busy atmosphere, but the staff were still friendly. We would definitely return to this establishment.

So our first time here, and learnt that it’s new owners only took over 4 weeks ago. My wife and I both opted for the cheese burgers. A simple option but one that can either be some well or be a total failure. Glad to report that these were very very good cheese burgers, Good quality burger cooked with a really good char resulting in a great burger Definitely recommend. We will also plan a return soon and try a Sunday lunch. Good beer and wine, service attentive and seating comfortable. In summary a good start for the new owners.

Too many pubs feel the need to overload a menu with 'jus ', and 'foam ', with mixed results. If you want that sort of thing, go to somewhere with a Michelin star. What The Old Inn does is proper pub classics burgers made of different dead animals, scotch eggs, steak done properly. I was there with my wife and son and we all had burgers, which the chef managed to cook so they were just beyond pink ie, spot on. We 'd also had moules and the aforementioned scotch egg as starters. All accompanied by a cracking couple of pints of Exmoor ale, and an excellent Rioja. To quote Arnie: I 'll be back

New people running this and it pains me to say as a local businessman it’s a shambles . I have it the benefit when I ordered sausage and chips and egg and was served with 6 chipolatas and overdone eggs covered in grease . The front of. House chap who is part owner need’s hospitality lessons as got to be one of the worse front of house I have had the pleasure of . Zero personality and I really wanted to help this business but I’m sorry but what I will say is try it I may be wrong but unless they change there hosting skills they are heading for a really tough road ahead as this is a disappointment

"Our first visit to The George Inn at Donyatt, we've drove by it time's going to other places and it always looks such a nice place. We decided to have lunchtime meal there to celebrate our anniversary and weren't disappointed, beamed ceilings, log burner and brick fireplace, farm tools and pictures on the walls cosy and oldie worldy with friendly locals just how we like our pubs. The staff and owner were really friendly, polite and chatted to us as if we locals from the village, the waitresses were smartly dressed, polite attentive always smiling, cheerful, charming and chatty. Even the chef nodded and smiled to us the couple of times he walked through and the bar and table areas were spotlessly clean. Our meals starters and mains were absolutely fantastic and amazing as was the presentation, they were hot good amounts of food with tender succulent meats and vegetables and the mashed potatoes were creamy smooth and light and have never had better. There's a good selection of beers and I had local ale which was amazing, clear, cool with a nice head and tasted like nectar. We will definitely be coming back soon and we can definitely recommend this pub, restaurant and hotel to family, friends, neighbours and anyone. A very big well done and thank you to the owners, all the staff especially the chef, please please please keep this pub the way it is, it's an absolute treasure and gem of a place to find. YOU ALL MADE OUR ANNIVERSARY VERY SPECIAL Especially in these times when a majority of local village pubs are closing down and being turned into houses or flats, we must all support our local village pubs like The George Inn."
