   Very enjoyable lunch with friends at The George today. Good selection of food choices and the ambience was lovely. It was busy so a little on the noisy side but this was to be expected and the staff were very accomodating. We all went for the set lunch menu at £13.50 (main meal and drink) which was great value for money. Food, drink and service were all excellent.

   Good family meal at a lovely pub. Much enjoyed the food with lots of options on the menu - burger was particularly good. Friendly service on a busy night.

   Very helpful staff, good menu choices. Good that there was a lunch time special deals menu. Main menu had very widw selection with good value for money. Liked that staff gave us plenty of time to view menu and select our choices, also that they didn't keep bothering us.

   Booked a table at The George, Backwell for Sunday lunch. We used to go there a lot but stopped going as it was poor value for money. We hadn't been back in almost 2 years so was really looking forward to trying it out again. The service was very quick, we sat down and our needs were attended to. The food arrived very quickly, however, it was luke warm to say the least, which is not nice for a Sunday Roast, as I want to enjoy the food before it becomes stone cold. I asked for extra gravy, 1 to warm up my food but 2 because I had hardly any gravy compared to my husband. We ate the food, which was Ok and then sat by the fire and had another drink. All was going well until we got the bill - we were charged £1 for the extra gravy and over £6 for the service, which was to do nothing more than to bring 2 plates of cold food to our table - our table was also right by the kitchen. We had to go to the bar for our drinks, so not much table service. I object to being hit with a large service bill for almost no service and to charge for the extra gravy is miserly! Certainly does not encourage anyone to want to go back. A very expensive lunch for a very mediocre meal.

   Dear Belinda, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your recent visit did not meet your expectations, especially after returning after such a long time. We appreciate your comments about the quick service and the atmosphere by the fire. However, we regret that the temperature of your meal and the additional charges for gravy and service did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly address these concerns with our team to improve our service. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future. Best regards, The George at Backwell

    Pleased to see the George is back serving high quality food. Prices are a little high, but the ambience was comfortable and the service relaxed without being slow
