The George — Restaurant in Ashford

I have been searching for an amazing British pub meal and I found it here at The George. The food was phenomenal with sourdough bread with home made butter and an amuse bouche that just made my taste buds explode. The starters looked beautiful but small (my eyes are bigger than my stomach), which I was worried about... then I took a bite and I was once again taken aback with powerful flavour and warmth of autumn, this was the miso roasted leeks with truffle and crispy egg yolk.
