The George Inn - Cambridge

Very nice food and staff can't fault it. Only problem was we booked through OpenTable it appears that we weren't booked! But we were accommodated

On the day that myself and a friend went to The George for lunch it was very busy. We had booked thankfully but rather than be shown to our table the man behind the bar pointed toward the restaurant and said we were in the corner. After sitting for 20minutes I caught the eye of a female serving staff who said she'd be with us in 2 minutes.......15 more minutes later I managed to get the attention of a lovely member of staff. She was less than impressed that we had not be asked if we wanted drinks by the man at the bar, who apparently had also failed to tell us when we arrived, that there was a 45 60 minute wait for food. True to her word our food was the next served so we waited for 45 minutes. The food was tasty but definitely not worth the wait. We had booked for 12.30 but were eating closer to 2pm. I expect The George would be ideal on quieter days but it appeared that they struggled to cater for large numbers. Very disappointed.

The lady that took our order asked us to pass the menus to her, she delivered the food to the same corner of the table which I did not think was good customer service. We were a family catching up over lunch and this made her look lazy as if she wanted us to do her job for her! I was not impressed with that staff member. The bar staff and other waiting staff were lovely! We will be back as it is in a prime location for our families to meet! Such a shame

Two of the mains were very good, but the pie and mash was dry as if kept too long under heat.

Would thoroughly recommend The George. Always great food and lots of choices (especially with regard to pies). We had a steak this time and have to say it was absolutely superb. Cooked just the way I asked for. The staff are extremely helpful, friendly and they give great service.
