Popped in for dinner on our first night in Keswick as we were staying just down the road and this place had caught my eye straight away. It certainly lived up to expectations; the cow pie was massive and filled to the brim with lovely slow cooked beef. Made my way through most of it and took the last part home with me as I was kindly offered a takeaway box. Proper pub atmosphere in the bar area and a nice large, secluded dining section. Both our meals were great and pretty reasonably priced, good selection of cask ales on too. Staff on the night were all gents, particularly Stanley who served us throughout and was helpful and attentive the whole way through. The other lads were great too and all up for a chat, which is always what you want in a pub like this. My only slight issue would be that tips can only be left in cash; which while generally the preferred method of hospitality staff, is somewhat unusual these days to be the only option, and I can imagine means the hard working staff lose out on a decent wedge because of this. This is clearly a brewery/ownership issue though and having spent a number of years working in pubs myself, one I imagine could be easily rectified with some tweaking of the POS system if the bosses really wanted to- perhaps reviews like this will end up making a change there. Overall: Great pub, tasty food and a top bunch of people looking after the place, well done team George š
Bobbed in for Cow pie after an 8 mile hike, recommended by a friend.. Not disappointed, Fantastic dish, enough for two, but there was only one of me so I ate it all. š·. Very friendly welcome, cosy pub, gorgeous food. Definitely recommend.... Thanks George Hotel for filling my bellyšš¤£
There's no doubt the George has found it's feet once more. The present management are professional and helpful. We enjoyed a family meal on Halloween night, the menu was excellent, we ordered curry, chicken and mushroom pie, fish pie, gammon all served with fresh vegetables. Although busy our meal arrived quickly, excellent service. We will happily return to The George.
On holiday ate at this hotel several years ago, before the change of owners. Back then the food did not taste so good but the portions were biblical. Last week on holiday again I tried the George because it had new owners and I was curious. Firstly, the staff greeting was friendly and genuine, the menu is good and fairly diverse. The service is great and the food, although still huge portions, now has flavour and texture befitting a good hotel restaurant. Priced possibly slightly above average, it is very good value for money and I would eat here again on my next visit to Keswick. Well done the staff of the George.
Came here for lunch whilst in Keswick and we were made to feel very welcome with our dog. The menu selection was very good with lots of homemade options. I hadnāt planned to have a pie as Iād had two recently, however they looked amazing and were huge so I couldnāt resist and was not disappointed. Really tasty and great value. Would recommend if you are in the area.
