Enjoyed a lovely meal with 2 friends. We enjoyed the Christmas Fayre menu. Good portions, lovely and hot, plenty fresh veg and a good price. Staff were all very friendly and attentive

Very disappointed in recent visit to the Royal George for a Christmas meal with family and friends. We all chose turkey and trimmings after 1st course which was OK, after waiting 30 mins we were told no Turkey, not been difficult we agreed pork which was extremely hard , no mashed potatoes,just roast , two in the company chose Xmas pudding and custard , not able to eat it ,obviously been in microwave too long don't think I'll go back , it Was one of my favourite restaurants

We were a big party but the service was terrible. I asked for tartar sauce and was told they couldn't get me any as they were bringing meals out. The bottom of the table was finished before the top half got their food.

We go to the George regularly and the food is always really good. However, tonight it wasn't. I asked if they had changed the chef as the food was very disappointing and not to the usual standard, and was told "yes there is a different chef". The feathered beef was burnt and the dumpling was rock hard and stodgy. The bun and the burgers were burnt and the children's chicken goujons were covered in thick greasy batter. No-one came to apologise and we were charged full price for everything. We have two bookings for large groups which we shall be cancelling. Such a shame as it was the best place in Peterlee for food. It might be busy at the moment but it won?t be for long if the food doesn't improve.

Went for Sunday lunch, portion sizes have definitely been reduced. Hardly any gravy at all on the plates, had to ask for three extra lots of gravy. Veg bowls were just a big mess of broken up carrots and cabbage. Just thirty minutes after arriving, we had the bill presented to us without asking for it, so felt very rushed to leave. Think I?ll avoid in future - shame, I used to like it here.

Very pleasant and helpful staff.
A good varied menu.
My roast lamb was particularly good!
Dietary restrictions: Very helpful with one of us who needs to avoid dairy products.

New to the area but was told the food was excellent so it was an anniversary so why not try it. Hugh mistake my partner and I ordered different meals. Very little on the plate, one portion of veg for 2 adults. My lamb tasted terrible cheap meat badly cooked. I have no cooking experience but the lamb I buy at the supermarket tastes much better costs less is enough for 3 people.His pork belly looked nothing like the photo of the review 2 months ago. Total waste of way too much money and a ruined last anniversary I sadly am very ill and won?t be here for another anniversary. Either I am very unlucky or my standards are higher than most people

Absolutely lovely, where we were sat was a little dark, but other than this, it was a lovely meal for my sons 18th.

Called here last night for the first time for a bite to eat.
I phoned up to see what time they took food orders until (7.45pm on a Sunday), and decided to dine here for tea.
The pub is lovely inside and quite spacious. It's clean and tidy. The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, which means I felt very comfortable when ordering food even though it was quite late.
I ordered a burger and chips, and my partner ordered duck flatbread. We had a pint of guiness and a pint of pepsi max, total cost was £37.50.
Portion size was quite small, but I really enjoyed my food and would definitely return. My partner wasn't too keen on his meal. He said the sauce was too overpowering and the duck was dry. His meal cost £16 and he doesn't think it was worth it.
Personally, I thought the chips were absolutely amazing.
We will return because we were made to feel so welcome, and the establishment itself is lovely and clean. Having tried the Black Bull which is across the road I can safely say The Royal George is the best pub in this small village.
