We came here last night for a friends birthday and we were impressed with the food. We had the Kiev and cottage pie which was homemade and tasted lovely. Our starters were mackerel pate and soup and again these were lovely. It’s pub grub but made well. Service for drinks was a bit slow but the staff were friendly.

I decided to treat us to a carvery for our Sunday lunch. I had seen good reviews about the George so chose to go there. To say we were disappointed is an understatement. The beef was fatty and tough and the vegetables were all mediocre. Really expected better. Have had better at cheaper chain of carvery pubs!

Unfortunately not the best experience at this restaurant.We went for the Sunday carvery, which left a lot to be desired. Food was cold, and the cauliflower cheese was still frozen in some parts.The wait staff although pleasant didn’t offer any alternative when we mentioned this and just walked away.Wouldn’t recommend a visit.

Rang to book, was told we didn't need to book as they had no one booked in for another 2 hours. Arrived and were sent away as were fully booked. Wasted 40 minute journey

Firstly, the restaurant was far too hot and a number of windows were closed. Even if they are planted shut, get it sorted. It was uncomfortably hot. Secondly, we asked for a wine menu and none was available. Even if they haven’t been printed, hand write some and photocopy them. It’s hard to order a drink when you don’t know what’s on offer and the prices. Thirdly, when we were told about how the carvery works, I asked if there was a child’s option and we were told no. Not a problem as we always have a pot of snacks on us, but couldn’t you offer an under 5s carvery for a discount? There’s no way that we could justify spending an adults’ charge on a one year old’s lunch. Finally, the food. The cabbage was grey from being over boiled and the mashed potatoes had a crust from being left standing. There were also no vegetarian or fish options available on the counter. Fish was available but it had to be cooked separately. By the time my fish arrived, my husband had also almost finished his meal. We were also told that the last table booking was at 3 yet people were still arriving at 3.45. Our server was lovely and very helpful, but feel like we were let down by a few simple things that could have been remedied for an extra special meal. We tried to message the restaurant twice privately but had no reply

Overall this was fine but a couple of little things were annoying i.e. the staff seemed distracted and took ages to serve you or take plates away or get you your bill. The wine is really expensive i.e. £29 per bottle which is crazy. Food was good.

I had cause to complain regarding a a previous Sunday lunch recently so on returning I was pleased to find that the Manager, Simon, had taken my comments on board, i.e. green vegetables are a MUST with Sunday lunch (the previous occasion there had been no green veg available). I was still slightly underwhelmed by the cold starters buffet as this time, no smoked salmon, no pasta or rice salads and the prawns were meagre in their little tin buckets, however, the mains made up for this and the meat and poultry were both delicious, tender and plentiful. We didnt partake of desserts but others looked good. Will definitely be back if the standards are kept high. Thanks.
We were in Lichfield on a Saturday night and could not get a table at our first two choices - even for early evening dining for two peopl (6pm). So I telephoned Darwin's and booked a table without issue. We had a lovely meal in nice quiet surroundings and were served by some very polite and competent young female servers. The food was excellent and very good value. Lovely starters breaded mushroom for Mrs. B and lamb koftas with me, both with garlic mayo and a salad garnish with a gorgeous balsamic dressing. Mains were OUTSTANDING. We both went for the 8 oz ribeye which came with a hot, tasty chips, Portobello mushroom and grilled beefsteak tomato. The steaks were cooked perfectly and were finished with a superb chargrill flavour. Top marks for the supplier and the chef. We had a few beers and a bottle of shiraz and the bill was under £100. Recommended by us.

I had a birthday voucher for afternoon tea, & I really wasnt disappointed. A lovely warm welcome & table all ready for us, Service was excellent as was the afternoon tea, so many cakes we had a box to take the remainder home. I looked at the luch & dinner menu too & looks really inviting. I shall definitely be back
