Must be getting desperate. Buy a £12.95 bottle of wine & get two main courses free. Fridays & Saturdays only.

Apply the M&S logic without the volume or control on buying

12.95
1.81

£ 11.14 after duty to produce two mains, and a drinkable wine,serve it and make a profit after substancial overheads.

When all you can do is compete on price - it is simply a race to the bottom

Not really a children's charity retreat location either

What comes below hoss?

We took Mrs Trumpet's son & his girlfriend here last night and frankly I was shocked. An attentive waitress (easy on the eye too!) Choice of wines from the normal wine list and choice of mains from the normal menu for the £12.95. I had surf & turf, 8oz steak, 6 scampis, chips, mushrooms, onion rings, salad garnish and a big prawn thrown on top. I was expecting reduced portions or a restricted menu but it was neither. The others all had steak of one sort or another and all was fine, only complaint was that mine was a little overdone, more medium than rare but I thought it would have been churlish to complain at the price. Two bottles of wine and four steak mains for £25.00, get in while you can!
Beer was on form and they had Saxon Clearwater still cider on tap, 6.6%, £3.20 a pint, tasted like apple wine, lovely.
All in all, price aside it was a vast improvement on last time I was in there, someone has certainly 'upped their game'!

Deal back on, some friends invited us to join them last Friday evening. Food still OK, Clearwater still on. Huge fire in main bar, this place is starting to woo me back.

I find this a far better selling point than vouchersfacebooktwoforonebehindyourback

Speaking with a parish councillor last night, she reckons Lymestone Brewery may be taking The George. Watch this space.
