The George Inn - West Somerset

My friends and I visited The George Inn in Brompton Village for Sunday lunch on the 24th of September. Three of us ordered the roast beef while one ordered roast pork, followed by desserts and drinks. We had a fantastic table overlooking the gardens, delicious meals, and friendly staff. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others.

Yet again we needed to celebrate having resolved a long standing technical problem. The pub in Brompton Regis came up in discussion the evening before when our neighbour was around for a glass of wine. He said that before coming to our village he’d looked at houses in Brompton Regis. He left and we booked a table. Friday was a damp day but we were not deterred as we drove up into the Brendon Hills, usually distant views greet one but this day the clouds were dominant. However as we descended from Roborough Gate towards Wimbleball Lake we could turn off the wipers. By the time we crossed the bridge at the top of the lake a shaft of sun broke through and sparkled across the surface of the water whilst light wisps of mist kissed the shore line. Rounding the churchyard wall always raises our expectations for there is the George Inn. The bar door was hardly open before Tash, a beaming smile, greeted us with a price board for ‘COFFEE’. I said in my previous review that I wouldn’t mention coffee at the George again, sorry, but I must. The coffee machine had arrived the day before. Well done Tripadvisor the George! We had a wonderful starter of Baba Ganoush, new to the menu that day. It was exceptionally good with delicate flavour. Following on was chicken breast and pasta with tomato sauce, again great flavour though my wife found it a little too greasy. My Bengal curry was fantastic and a most generous serving. Our ‘Desert,’sic, was Chocolate Ganache with pistachio ice cream under crunched nuts. I had the steamed maple syrup pudding set in a delicious whisky sauce, a very delicate and light texture, just right to finish on after the curry! Of course we had our long awaited espressos from the new device, a delicious finale to our meal. Earlier in walkers had dropped in wanting a coffee. Now all on Exmoor should be heading to the George for their ‘hit’.

Very friendly staff we went for a drink one afternoon And had a delicious Sunday roast was very busy as food great not massive portions that I don’t like but great quality meat very dog friendly we had our senior jack Russel in a buggy and they gave us perfect table with a great view and a little door to the garden .Garden had marque for bbq for kings coronation so extra busy in village Highly recomend Also had trout on menu will be back

Lovely setting in Brompton Regis which definitely adds the overall experience. The staff were friendly and accommodating for a holiday family with 3 active kids. Food portions were great for the kids and our food was great. Really good selection of drinks for all. Worth going even if sat NAV tells you it’s going to take 30mins to get there although less than 8miles away.

We stayed here for one night and had a lovely time. We were welcomed like family and everyone was very friendly. We spent a lot of time just sitting about in the pub and it was lovely and cosy with the log fire going. The pub is dog-friendly, which was excellent. There is a skittle alley which they didn't mind us playing in. The food was excellent and there are plenty of good walks nearby. The only downside is that the room we stayed in was very cold, they didn't seem to have any heating upstairs, and the floors were quite creaky because its an old pub, so you heard when other guests were moving about.
