The Royal George is gem of a pub right in the heart of Thornbury. We are the perfect place for a relaxing drink, a quick lunch or even a private party or meeting in one of our two fantastic function rooms. We have free Wi-Fi too so you can keep in touch.

The pub itself is nice enough and the staff are friendly but weâve had a few bad experiences with the food here recently. Weâve visited on a weekday for lunch and had a few different sandwiches and soups and the meat in the sandwiches was gristly and really poor quality. The soup was not homemade and tasted exactly like a well known brand.We also came on a Sunday in the last few weeks and had a really bad experience. It wasnât that busy but the food took ages to come and whilst we were waiting we saw a member of staff come running in from Aldi with some ingredients that theyâd run out of in the kitchen. I appreciate they they were trying to honour orders that people had made but it somewhat ruins the illusion when youâve paid around £10 for a meal and itâs made of cheap ingredients from the local supermarket! The bean bake in particular was a low point- it was basically a bowl of microwaved beans in a bbq sauce with no topping. The staff listened to our views and kindly gave us some money back but I donât think weâll be eating here again after a few disappointing visits Hi Sophie, I am sorry to hear about your disappointing visit here at the Royal George. We are in the process of many exciting changes including new chefs and new menus which will be launched this coming Friday.We would love for you to give us another chance by accepting a free meal on us as an apology. We would be happy to discuss anything with regards to your previous visits. Should you wish to get in touch, please call us on 01454416223 and speak to Syzmon to arrange this. Many thanks, Szymon.

Two of our party chose the gammon option, which they said was very good. There was only one fish option, which was cod and chips. The other member of our party and me chose the home made burger, which arrived on a piece of wood of the approximate shape and dimensions as a table tennis bat. Chips were in a small pot. There was no garnish. An interesting contrast between the well presented gammon and this burger option. Very noisy conversations in progress, but hardly the pubâs fault. As indicated in the heading a rather limited menu, and I wouldnât press for a further visit.Hi,Thank you for leaving us a review though I was slightly surprise by your opinion that the menu is limited!We have an extensive menu and we are regularly told there is so much choice its hard to pick. We currently have the choice of 18 main meals which are all freshly cooked to order on our menu, with at least 4 fish options, so I am assuming maybe on reading the menu you just missed these?Our homemade 8oz beef burgers are served in a salad dressed bun with onion chutney and a side of chips which we are always happy to serve on a plate if requested.We are sorry The Swan isn't for you.Best Wishes Nikki

Carriages Restaurant is within the Alveston House Hotel on the A38 near Thornbury. The Hotel itself and the Dining area oozes cleanliness, bland decor, a slightly old-fashioned "middle-class" type ambience - the sort of place to take ones maiden Aunt and be sure she'll find little to moan about.The Sunday Lunch I had was reasonable priced at £19.50-£22.50 for 2-3 courses. There was very little actual cooking involved, most of the food being apparently bought in already prepared. The main course arrives already plated, so no choice of type or amount of vegetables or sauce. The cheeseboard was straight out of the fridge.The service was very friendly and efficient.It's the sort of place that doesn't do "exotica", but you're unlikely to find too much to complain about if standard British Hotel fare is what you're looking for.Incidentally, the Hotel is currently up for sale.Thank you for your review. We like to think that we have an elegant restaurant but appreciate your feedback. We can assure you and any readers of your review that our food is completely home made and nothing is bought in already prepared. If more vegetables or sauce is required we are always more than happy to oblige. Your cheeseboard should not have been fridge cold and we apologise if this was the case. We do hope you will visit us again and do mention that you would prefer a larger portion of vegetables!

Went in here off chance for an evening meal. The welcome was fantastic just as the attention was all the time we were in there. Inside it is spotlessly clean. Well decorated as was the old fashioned pub.The menus had a large choice. My son who is a vegetarian had five choices. I, being a meat eater, could not decide what to have. In the end I had the Fish Pie. It was full of different sea food in a lovely sauce. My son had the Mushroom Stroganoff which he declaredâdelightful â. We both fell for the Sticky Toffee Pudding, home made and lovely. There was a choice of, I think it was, five gluten free deserts. If we lived in the area this would certainly be on our lists for a regular visit.

Our breakfast took 35 minutes to come out. Everything from the bacon, sausages, mushrooms, beans and eggs tasted vile. My scrambled eggs tasted of chemicals. The bacon chop was a block of fat. The beans are huge and covered in the most disgusting tomato purée. Both of us ate half and had to leave the rest as both felt ill!! The only decent part of it was the bread, so next time il stick to toast.

Lovely hotel, shame about the service and the not so dog friendly welcome. Although you can have your dog, the staff they arenât really that welcoming of them, thatâs the impression we got. Also the service wasnât great, had to chase for nibbles a couple of times. I expect service to be amazing after spending £400 for the night to stay. We went for breakfast next morning no one was there to serve us so we just went home without breakfast.

Had dinner with friends and loved the tasting menu and wine flight. As ever, the food and wines were superb. The only reason Iâm giving this visit 4 and not 5 stars is that on this occasion the service was clumsy and unprofessional. The ladies serving us were very pleasant, but sadly they were not well trained or informed. The wine and food courses were not served together as they should be - we either had to wait 10-15 minutes for the food (by which time the wine had been drunk!) or we were served our food and had to wait for the wine (whilst our food was going cold). When asked questions about the wine, the waitresses didnât know the answers.This is a great shame as Ronnie and his team of chefs had clearly worked very hard, but they were let down by their front of house colleagues. I hope Ronnie puts this right by the time we visit again and that we receive the high level of service, knowledge and enthusiasm that we have come to expect here.
