Summer Soltice means wedding anniversary. So needed good food welcoming atmosphere and music to dance too. Well we got all of this at Tre Fratelli last night. Simone was there to welcome us and the whole evening went just as we wanted. We actually took 4 friends who had a great time. Sofia Soul was excellent. Staff were attentive which added to the experience. Well done again for making our celebration a memorable experience.

Stayed for 2 nights (writing this on my last night, sat still hungry in my room!)First night meal was good actually, though service was a bit haphazard given I was one of only about 4 people in the place. Tonight different story, place was packed (turns out it’s quiz night), so even worse service, followed by the absolute worst steak I’ve ever been served (hint: either buy better quality or invest in steak knives because they’re inedible and impossible to cut otherwise), joined with the least peppercorny peppercorn sauce (at least if the sauce was good it would have masked the crap steak a bit). It was also just this side of Luke warm. Given the waitress was also the barmaid I can appreciate she was struggling. Impossible to complain as I never saw her back at the table so after 30 mins just left the whole lot congealing on the plate while I waited patiently at the bar for another 20 mins being ignored just to pay for the crappy food I didn’t eat. As you can tell, I’m grumpy when I’m hungry. Would be good if they just explained that a quiz was due, especially when the quiz master said that the quiz would have to be delayed as ‘apparently people are still eating’ like we were bloody pariahs or something. Unimpressed.Thank you for taking the time to share your views with us.I am sorry you did not enjoy your dining experience with us. We were unusually very busy for our quiz night and therefor our bar team were extremely busy.We have had lots of glowing comments about our food including our steaks so I am disappointed that you did not enjoy yours. I am sorry that the waitress was not able to check on your meal once you had been served, due to how busy we were. Had you have mentioned your disappointment to the bar man when paying, we would most certainly have offered to cook you another steak and bring it to your room or taken it off your bill.We value all comments both good and not so good so thank you once again for taking the time to review us.Kind regardsTracy BalenOwner

The George Inn

The George Inn is a 16th century pub in the Bedfordshire countryside that has been lovingly restored. Our menu takes in satisfying and unpretentious dishes made fresh by our chefs such as Honeyed Beer Battered Haddock & Chips and Roasted Butternut Squash

Reviewed By SimonInWhitstable

Top notch breakfast which rivals Knife and Cleaver locally. The waffles could be a bit fresher, not sure on those, although served with great crispy bacon and syrup.The thing that really makes the difference is the way they react when things go wrong; our ticket got lost. Took ages to get food. But the way they dealt with it was really impressive, even some unrequested money off vouchers for next time.Hi SimonInWhitstableThank you for your review, we appreciate your comments & feedback.I apologise for the inconvenience, disappointing and not at all ideal however I am pleased you were impressed with how we dealt with the situation. We would love to welcome you again soon, perhaps try our our 'Wine Tasting Event' held in our 'UPSTAIRS' private room this October 30th and November 20th.Thank you againGeorge Team
