Lovely pub and garden but food was overpriced and poor. Ordered battered fish and chips for £17 - first piece of fish was entirely batter, when I showed the waitress i could tell she was embarrassed for the kitchen. The waitress apologised and asked if I wanted a refund. I asked for another piece instead, sadly the next piece was almost equally tragic but I was starving so ate it. Cost of living crisis = expensive food, and the least you expect for £17 mela out is a good feed. Wouldn’t eat there again

We have had a terrible experience. We booked a room (supposed to be a deluxe room) for one week. We asked 3 consecutive days to clean up the room. Each time they had another excuse. The litter wasn’t taken out, the used mugs not changed so we couldn’t enjoy a new cup of tea, we had to beg to receive new towels. The bathroom was full of moisture not to mention the spiders in the bath tub, and in the dressed up dining room the tables weren’t cleaned neither with us sitting at sticky tables. I just don’t dare to imagine how « clean » their kitchen was. A very sad experience indeed.

It is a credit to Claire and her team to present such a wonderful hotel. We stayed here in June 23 and the room and food was sensational. We would highly recommend.

Had a lovely overnight break at The George with my late Mum in August. The staff were very friendly, nothing too much trouble and food and drinks were served promptly. The pub is so nice and cosy with plenty of choice on the menu and cooked to perfection. We stayed overnight in one of the outside courtyard rooms. I was worried that we might have been kept awake being near to the outside terrace of the pub but all quietened down by the time we turned off. The room was done out very nicely, comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom and the breakfast in the morning was amazing - good choice of hot and cold options. It was the last trip with my Mum and we really did have such a lovely, memorable stay and I would happily return at any opportunity.

We wanted to book a special event at this venue and were very excited upon arrival only to be treated with hostility, contempt and a negative attitude by the General Manager Claire. Everything we asked for she came up with a reason why they could not accommodate it. The only time she cracked a smile was when we said we would not be giving her our business. How unprofessional is that? A very unpleasant experience. I would stay away. So many lovely venues in the area. The other four venues we visited could not have been nicer. Perhaps you are in the wrong job Claire?

We just returned from a night’s stay at The George Inn and coming from a lacklustre experience from a previous stay, we were grateful to have been greeted by Maria who was warm and friendly. She brought us to our room and also offered to help with our bags. Our room was lovely (top floor) and was spacious and clean. Maria explained that we could preorder our breakfast and also choose when and where to have it using an order chit which we thought was a very convenient and unique system which we have not seen before. We did not have dinner but had a night cap at the bar with their own brew which was excellent. Maria kindly gave my partner a ring to let him know the bar was closing so he could get another drink in. We had a good night’s rest as the bed and pillows were comfy. The next morning, we got our breakfast delivered to our room on a beautiful tray, right on the time we specified. The food was superb and everything on the tray was well arranged and presented. We had a great time here and it is definitely a place we will return to in the future. Other bonus points: parking was easy behind the inn and it has ev charging facilities.

Lovely place… a real gem in Banbury! The food was good, but dessert was excellent, particularly the apple crumble. Really nice bright space out back with tables and sofas. The rooms were decent.

Very Disappointing. the food was average and massively over priced. the table was sticky. we were sat in the glass room which was cold, we did ask at the beginning if there was anywhere else we could sit, we were told no, but at the end of the meal we were very aware that tables inside had not been used while we had been there that we could have sat at. the waitress was really nice and polite and helpful though.

Unfortunately I did not stay overnight. The food was excellent, the duck was cooked to perfection. I am gluten free and they accommodated the dishes I ordered. They had a great selection of puddings also. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.The location was a bit out the way, don't let that put you off as its worth the journey.
