The George Inn — Restaurant in England

We had an ok experience here. Hunting around for a late lunch, starving kids and the promise of a nice roast written on a billboard outside. To cut to the chase, the beef roast was out of stock but instead of offering Turkey or Pork (which we didn't know was available until I went up to chase our food after about 40 mins of waiting) we had to choose something else. The couple next to us had their roast pork delivered ages before our meals came and we ordered first! And that was the point where it was clear other roast options were still available. One of the simple kids meals (fish fingers) came out last, and as is usual with pub establishments, the chips on each of our dishes were a touch underdone and lacked any flavour .. just like your supermarket chips. Other than that, the rest of the food on the plate was good and tasty enough. The burger special was pretty large and full of flavour, and the other half's lasagne was loaded with cheese topping and not bad tasting at all. Overall, not a bad lunch but not great either.

Never more than 5 occupied the whole time. The server would bring out plates of food and go back in empty handed or take two finished plates out of 4, and then the next time if she took anything she would take just half the plates off a different table so both tables still looked a mess and the plates were covered in flies. A couple of people came in, looked around at the state of the place and left which is a shame. May be there is full employment on the IOW and they couldn't get any more staff? I nearly offered to do 5 minutes...

Hi my wife and I visited the GEORGE INN in NEWPORT isle of Wight last night where we had decided to eat.My wife ordered trio of lamb chops well done and myself steak and ale pie.The food turned up within 5 minutes and there's no way well done lamb chops takes that long it was hard tasteless as if it was done in the microwave.When we complained they took it away and asked was there anything else my wife would like so she ordered the pie too.The kitchen was closing so they should of said rather than rush food out which was not edderble.The bar staff did come and ask if we both would like a drink on the house but by 11pm my wife was hungry,we...
