    As a group of 12 we were put in a small long room to ourselves, next to the main restaurant. But we have eaten in the main restaurant for lunch and found this to be quiet. But it should be reasonable on a crowded evening The waitress serving us was very helpful and although her English was very good she actually is French. There was no trouble in getting the overall bill divided by 12. This included the drinks in the main bar, downstairs

    Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback! We're glad your group had a comfortable space to yourselves and that you found the service helpful — we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to our (very talented!) French team member Mathylde. We're also happy to hear the bill was handled smoothly. We hope to welcome you back again soon. All the best, Team George

    Best roast I’ve ever had! Big portion, delicious meat, yummy potatoes, amazing gravy! We were in the dining area upstairs, which is very cozy and quiet nicely tucked away from the downstairs pub feel. Service was super attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend this place for a Sunday Roast and will definitely come back myself! Thanks team :)

    We were the only table upstairs in the dining room so after hanging around for 10 minutes went to eat downstairs. Food was fine for the price.

    Came with a group of friends on a Sunday at 2:30 and all had the Sunday roast. All the options were delicious, especially the beef, and the staff were so lovely. They even brought a bowl of water over for my dog unasked for. Would definitely go back

    Best to eat upstairs if you want to hear each other at the table. The view of the Law Courts is also worth the window.

    Thank you for your lovely review and great tip! We're so glad you enjoyed the quieter atmosphere upstairs — and we agree, the view of the Law Courts really is something special. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! All the best, Team George
