I feel like this is the most important thing to mention.IT'S DOG FRIENDLY! 🐶 I just love that! ❤️Environment;I look online to see if their was an online booking service.Booking is recommended but since there was only a phone number and email we just did a walk in which was fairly risky being a Sunday afternoon.But there was no issue seating us, plenty of spaces. 🙌🏻I preferred the main, room put the walk-in room had an awesome chandelier, plenty of character and things to look at yet it seemed empty and cold, not as in temperature but environment. Fairly conflicting statements, I can't quite put figure out that feeling.The Food;For this style of meal I'd much prefer to get it myself.We're fairly past covid times now in terms of regulations.I'm not sure if it's a covid thing or just how they do it.I was happy to see a good chunk of meat on my plate I was extremely happy with that and the condiment options.The yorkshire pudding was nice and crispy on the outside but a bit soggy on the inside, at first the stuff in was nice but had a constancy of almost creamy smash.Two rosties didn't seem enough.The veg that came out was mostly stuff I wouldn't have picked on a self serving carvery since I'm unfortunately not a veg lover but I do try them when I can.Everything was dry and crunchy. Even the cauliflower with cheese. I like carrots but they didn't look appetising in appearance.But I was just so happy with the meat and the dinner on my plate was okay.After dinner my fella finished his Coors and I had my Old Mount over a game of pool which I really enjoyed.It cost slightly over £40 for x2 alcoholic drinks and x2 dinners on a Sunday afternoon.Reading back it looks like I didn't I enjoy it, I did its a nice place and under new management, the only way is up. 🙌🏻

Lovely Easter Sunday roast with our family! Lamb and rib of beef were delicious. Kids smashed the toad in the hole and then tried stealing the giant roasties 🤩 So glad we have a gem like this in our village! This time they had Timothy Taylor Landlord and Boltmaker on, topped off a brilliant visit to the Old George 😃

Me and my family went for someone's birthday, and we waited for 1 and half hours for our lunch and on the plate there was meat, Yorkshire pudding and stuffing and the vegetables and potato came in little pots and there wasn't enough to share between the 10 of us. Also, I ordered toad in the hole instead of a Sunday dinner because I only wanted a little bit of lunch and it wasn't even toad in the hole because the sausage wasn't in the Yorkshire pudding.

My wife and I were in the area visiting someone and were early, so visited here on the recommendation of the person we were visiting.As they had just opened, there was no issue getting a seat (although from speaking to the owners, if you want Sunday lunch, it's best to book in by midweek at the latest if you're after a particular time slot). It seems Friday night is quiz night and is usually a very lively evening too by all accounts.The owners got a nice roaring fire going which helped distract us from the awful weather outside. As I was driving I only had a soft drink but there seemed to be a good selection of beers at the bar, including Sharp's Doom Bar and also Wolf Rock which was a nice alternative.My wife had a pizza with a side of chips and I had the game pie (pictured). The pie was outstanding. Puff pastry (the best on a meat pie imho), lots of chunks of game (venison, pheasant and a.n.other that I can't remember). Gravy was delicious. Chips were nicely cooled and generously salted.Despite being satisfied by the main, we decided to have dessert too. My wife had the choc brownie and I had sticky toffee pudding (no pic, it looked too good to delay eating!). Again, both were absolutely scrumptious. So much so, the sight of the puddings, and the look on our faces as we ate them, pursuaded the table next to us to get dessert too 😀All in, including 3 soft drinks, I think we paid about £45 which I didn't think was too bad at all.I'm not sure if we'll be back in the area again but be in no doubt, if we are, we'll call in here again!

First time since they have changed it all and fantastic food, definitely worth the drive presented beautifully and friendly staff. Nice to see dogs allowed in venue too :-)

A truly amazing refurbishment to an old local pub! The Yorkshire ambience to the look and feel of the pub, combined with a wood burner, good ales and truly delicious food fits nicely into the grit of the local village. The new owners have done wonders to retaining this important part of the village’s heritage. Chapeau.

Went on Sunday for a family get together we have been here on several occasions for get togethers. We arrived abit early by taxi and we was welcomed in as it wasn't quite open. Very friendly owners and staff very professional 👏 the food was out of this world best Sunday dinner I've ever had . Nothing was to much trouble I would defo recommend if you want a lovely warm atmosphere and outstanding food.

The Old George - Sykehouse. First time eating here today and it definitely won't be the last. Gorgeous pub with really cosy feeling, nice decor and very polite attentive staff. The food... By far the best Sunday dinner I've ever had. Every aspect of the meal was so tasty. And the portion sizes were very generous! Thick cuts of meat, lots of stuffing and a huge Yorkshire pudding. You choose whichever meat(s) you would like and then veg is brought out to you as and when you require more. I had rib of beef, turkey and pork. The beef was cooked medium and very tender. All 3 meats were moist and full of flavour. The vegetables were lovely, pesto brocoli, caulifolwer cheese, root Mash and regular Mash. All cooked very well, smooth mashed potatoes, creamy cauli cheese. Fantastic selection of soft drinks, lager, ales on tap. The Sunday lunch is £15 for 2 meats or £18.50 if you would like all 3. Definitely worth the money, and you get what you pay for. (they will bring you as much veg as you please) This beat any Sunday dinner I've had by a country mile, and we've had a few 😂 🐽 We ate at midday and by the time we left there wasn't a space left in the car park, would definitely advise booking. But please give this place a try!! 😍

Popped in for a beer today whilst out on our walk, despite not having booked a table they did manage to fit us in for Sunday lunch. The food was delicious, the staff very friendly and helpful.Good beer, good food and friendly staff great atmosphere, this all makes this establishment well worth a visit.We will definitely be going again.

The owners have done a great job refurbishing this pub. It's now brighter, more modern while keeping a lot of the large buildings character. The food was very good and well presented. Good selection of drinks including quality real ales.
