I visited Friday 17 February 2024 with my sister and two month old niece for lunch. We popped up from Hartlepool based on the reviews.Ian was very friendly, professional and helpful and really looked after us, and it was nice to chat with Becky (Becci?).The interior is very nicely decorated, warm and comfortable. There is plenty to select from on the menu and a decent kids menu too!My sister ordered the cheese croquettes with pickled onion starter and really enjoyed it. My Burns Night had kind of been ruined by our local Lidl so when I saw haggis on the menu, I got a little excited. It was the nicest haggis I've had in a long time. Sometimes there's a lot of gristle and too much pepper, but this was perfection!I had a half parmo for my main, which was absolutely delicious and the chips were unreal! I felt a bit gutted when I saw my sister's lamb shank because even though the parmo was beautiful, I've never seen such a nice piece of lamb served in a pub in twenty years! I had to steal a bit. That lamb was absolutely incredible. I'll definitely be ordering that next time!Finished with some jam roly-poly and custard for a bit of 90s school nostalgia. Delicious!They sell Pepsi instead of Coca-Cola, which should be law in the UK! Pepsi is much nicer, so extra bonus points!The food, service and atmosphere were all fantastic and the pricing was very reasonable.The Royal George is a fantastic gastropub, not to be missed and absolutely worth traveling to even if you're 20-30 minutes away, I'd say. I can't wait to go back, as there are quite a few dishes on the menu that I want to try!Thank you for an amazing dining experience :-D.Vegetarian options: There are a number of vegetarian options available.Kid-friendliness: Very warm and welcoming to us, with my two month old niece.

Lovely pub with friendly attentive staff. Had the two course Christmas Fayre the turkey was delicious so tender and tasty but the meal was not hot enough for my liking. Saying that I'm happy to give it another chance.

We absolutely love this pub! We have been many times for lunches and tea time and always absolutely outstanding! We have recently been taking our puppy into the bar area for a lunch time and the staff are always attentive and friendly. It’s great to have a local pub to take dogs too!
Absolutely love this place. Food is top notch gorgeous, ambience is super cosy, staff lovely, can't fault it. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Food very good, portions not so. First time I've wanted (needed) a desert after a Sunday lunch since I moved to the north east (nearly 3 years)
