The Old George in North Hertfordshire

Since the new owners took over 12 months ago the pub restaurant has enjoyed significant success and it is really no surprise. The food is fantastic, the service excellent and a very comfortable atmosphere and environment can be enjoyed. Thoroughly recommend it.

Wow! I stumbled across this beautiful pub by absolute chance and what a find!The staff here are the reason I keep coming back, Jordan and Rosie are the A team at front of house, the food is really nice and the pub is set in lovely surrounding!!Very very highly recommended, well done what a lovely team of staff you have there!

Very nice meal - good Sunday roast and good staff. Small menu which is good as they do it well. Pork roast "Hog in the Hole" was excellent.

We had a lovely work's Christmas meal here last week. The food was amazing - the roast potatoes were especially good! The staff were so friendly and helpful and a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Visited for a Christmas party. Had the marquee which was lovely. Great service from the staff bringing drinks etc.Downside was that we were told there would be gluten free food available in the buffet. Nothing there. A lovely waitress brought out a slice of toast and some houmous. Very disappointing considering the promise and the huge spread of food everyone else could eat.

Took a friend for a birthday lunch and we weren't disappointed! Great staff and welcome - lovely cosy atmosphere. Food was delicious and presented beautifully. Will definitely be back and thank you xx

The Old George is a really cosey pub in the lovely village of Ickleford right next to the church.They put on an excellent afternoon buffet for 20 plus people and have helpful friendly staff.The only negative is that wheel chair access was difficult but then the pub is not called The 'Old' George for no reason.

A friend from work recommended The Old George to me. Thought it would be nice to book in for Sunday lunch. The food was lovely, very cosy atmosphere. Will happily come back again!

Visited Aug2019. Good food, well cooked, large portions. Fair value for money. Range of drinks is fair, for a corporate chain pub.-----Visited Aug2020 upon response from the venue that new management has taken over.Great food, well cooked, huge portions. Wide range of drinks (beers, wines and spirits). Superb value for money. The standard is high enough for corporate entertaining in small groups.Today's menu review:Selection of British charcuterie with piccalilli and country toast (GBP 10 as at Aug2021)Haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce (GBP 14 as at Aug2021).The charcuterie: a large plate of cold meats, each with its own clear and distinct flavour, served with rocket, a couple of small gherkins and half a pickled walnut (I think) (underneath the greenery) (it was nice, whatever it was). The piccalilli is strongly savoury, slightly peppery with balanced acidity that meets the fat in the meat. The country toast is brittle, crunchy and malty. The white bread shown in the pic is part of another starter (bread with olive oil and thick, syrupy balsamic vinegar, bread served warm GBP 3).The haddock: a fresh fillet of haddock, superbly steamed in its cocoon of brittle, crumbly, caramelised batter. The flakes of fish simply slide and ooze off eachother as you gently push your knife down onto the fish through the opened batter. The chips are soft and, note carefully, skins-on: really good idea, adds to the flavour holds more of the soft texture of the potato (fries were available as an alternative). The tartar sauce is unashamedly bitter, with modest pieces of caper for that brief spike of sourness. Grown-up fish & chips.Afters (not pictured) was two scoops of mango sorbet decorated with a fruit compôte and a strawberry. The sorbet was dense, rich and semi-sweet - as it should be - with noticeable lumps of mango lurking within and a lingering fruit flavour to finish.

Only popped in for a drink on Wednesday's bike night. The pub was clean and tidy. The staff were helpful and friendly. They had a nice outside seating area if you wanted food, apart covered and some open.
