The George Carvery - Harrogate

We booked a room for one night, would have stayed longer but sadly they were fully booked. The room was clean, the bed was comfy and the shower had lashings of hot water, also plenty of complimentary tea and coffee. We had a carvery and it was fantastic, the meat was cooked to perfection as were the vegetables, the mustard and horseradish sauce were lovely and tasty and added to what was already a beautiful meal. David is a great asset front of house, approachable, helpful and we felt that nothing was too much trouble. If we are ever in need of an overnight stay in the area, we'll be back!

I can’t believe people can find anything to complain about at the George. For many years I have gone every Thursday evening, and guess what, you see the same faces there and many new ones. The restaurant is ALWAYS busy and that speaks for itself. We often go as a family for Sunday lunch, and guess what we are going tomorrow. The food and the choices are second to none, DELICIOUS is the only way to describe the food. As regards the staff, they are absolutely AMAZING, friendly,helpful and always cheerful. As I said earlier I have gone there for years and will continue to do so. My grandchildren think I am hard to please when it comes to eating out, but I assure you, in all the years I have eaten at the George I have had no reason to complain or be disappointed, but hay ho you will never please everyone some people just like to moan. WELL DONE to the George and it’s wonderful staff, we’ll see you tomorrow. Xxx

The best in Yorkshire this is not! Like School dinners we visited with our family food was average at best, tasteless and bland . service was great tho but its about a fantastic Sunday roast and it doesnt deliver disappointing

Having been for a meal with friends and had a reasonable meal, not the best in Yorkshire as advertised, decided to give it a second chance on a lunchtime. Arriving at 1115 before the place opened parked on the car park and went for a walk along the road. After 15 minutes was accosted by a very rude man who told us to remove our car from the car park. Explained that we were waiting for the pub to open when he said that we were waiting at a bus stop! Very arrogant, will not bother returning again.

Just want to thank everyone at the George for a wonderful 2023 season. We have a caravan at Ripley and have dined there numerous times and it is always a reasonably priced, delicious meal! There is always a friendly welcome, the waiting staff remember your face, the chef is welcoming and generous with his portions. The meat is so tender, the veg is beautiful, our plates are piled high and you are encouraged to eat! The owners are lovely chaps, always so friendly, my kids love chatting to David who always goes out of his way to make sure they are having a great time and eating their veg!!! Our dog is made very welcome, it’s just a really lovely place to go. See you next year everyone at the George!
