Beautiful pub, beautiful attitude of the staff, beautiful food and beautiful beer.
It's a great place to while away a quick beer or spend an evening either ensconced by the fire in the warm, or spending the summer months in either the superb courtyard or brilliant little garden, it's hard to beat as a local pub
The best ickleford and many of the towns and villages has to offer.
Nicola the land lady must take a bow, superb efforts. And a massive change from the dingy pub it was a few years ago.
Thank you for the best Sunday lunch we've had recently! The roast is a winner, with great portion sizes and my favourite super crispy roast potatoes. We shared the roast lamb and port - both I would highly recommend. Lovely atmosphere, welcoming people and colouring pencils to keep children entertained. We will be back again soon!
Had a fantastic meal here. The starter was deliciously crunchy sour dough bread with olive oil and butter. We both had rump steak, cooked perfectly with triple cooked chips and dessert was a yummy chocolate brownie with ice cream. The food is awesome. The service is second to none and I would definitely recommend
Went to the steak night in January and can honestly say it was the best meal we have ever had....EVER!!!! All three courses were amazing ��
Had an evening meal at The Old George with three of my mates. The food was great, beer fab but most importantly the service was OUTSTANDING. Well done to all the staff. Made us four happy, well fed and well watered boys
Lovely old building, staff were friendly and there's plenty of space. They were doing a special BBQ event so the normal food was unavailable, so on that basis I won't score the food. We'll be back!
Perfect little pub. Quiet. Good music in the back ground. Good food, fast service. Lovely greeting from gent at the bar, very friendly, definitely recommend a visit.
We ordered chicken burger and fries. The chicken was real chicken breast slices and seasoned well.. very surprising as we expected reformed breaded chicken burger . Food perfection.
Had a really nice lunch of sausages & mash and the day's special of chicken thighs with parmentier potatoes. Everything was delicious. It may cost a couple of pounds more than your average pub but the generous portions and quality of the ingredients were well worth it. And everything was topped off by a friendly barman.
Will definitely be back again.
Booked and went for lunch with family and couldn’t have picked a better place. The traditional pub served top quality pub fair at a great price and spectacular drinks.
A 5 Star experience at The Old George! Brilliant service! Delicious food and gorgeous Pub! Thank you
A lovely Sunday lunch. Just there in time after our visit to Hitchin Lavender fields. Don't get out much these days because just like everyone else we've had to tighten our belts so this was a friendly, welcoming place for a spot of lunch. Highly recommend the roast beef.
Cosy and friendly atmosphere, made for a great pitstop for Sunday lunch. We went for the three courses and it was definitely worth it, each course was excellent. The "Hog In The Hole" is a triumph. Ale selection was solid too. The service was a little slow, but I did not mind as we were in no rush!
Great food, great service. Was totally blown away on how good the quality is. Love ❤️ the parsley mash. And the cheeseburger 🍔 was perfect. Must try food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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.
Great little pub to hideaway in when its cold and wet. Lovely food and a nice selection of beer.
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.
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!
It's been a while, probably since last summer when I was here. After visiting the lavender fields nearby. We had dinner at The Old George. The atmosphere, staff, needless to say you can tell the food is Michelin star, its magnificent and reasonably priced. Chef also came out to be thanked by me. A definite 'must' place to visit. 🥂🇬🇧
I was with a group of very wet cyclists whan we decided to stop for coffee at The Old George. We were made very welcome at the pub and were able to park our bikes under shelter. We really enjoyed the coffee and indulged in some delicious, crisp, homemade chips!

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.
Wow.. well that was a very pleasant surprise, best pub lunch I’ve had in a long time,easy going staff and decent choice of beers and wine,see you soon guys.
Update: visited again under the new management (May 2021) and had a delicious lunch. Best fish and chips I've had in a long time! Outdoor areas were great and staff were friendly and attentive.
