"Lovley looking pub, beautiful village but, first day of arriving at campsite (1 mile up the road) long day, wanted a pint. Thankfully decided to drive not walk because we arrived just after nine to be told by landlady she was no longer serving. There was a small group of drunk, but not unpleasant young males in bar. Next night as it was our local we tried again. This time arriving just before 9. The landlady( who was eating dinner with her male friend)apologised saying she didn't want to serve the young men anymore so wasn't serving anyone. So we had a drink, nice chat with her partner, they finished eating/ drinking then he asked us to drink up as we were the only ones in the pub, it was about 10pm. He asked us can we come out earlier tomorrow. We didn't go back. Drove to the bridge pub, went there rest of holiday. Never asked to leave early or told when we should consider turning up."

"Yet again we needed to celebrate having resolved a long standing technical problem. The pub in Brompton Regis came up in discussion the evening before when our neighbour was around for a glass of wine. He said that before coming to our village he’d looked at houses in Brompton Regis. He left and we booked a table. Friday was a damp day but we were not deterred as we drove up into the Brendon Hills, usually distant views greet one but this day the clouds were dominant. However as we descended from Roborough Gate towards Wimbleball Lake we could turn off the wipers. By the time we crossed the bridge at the top of the lake a shaft of sun broke through and sparkled across the surface of the water whilst light wisps of mist kissed the shore line. Rounding the churchyard wall always raises our expectations for there is the George Inn. The bar door was hardly open before Tash, a beaming smile, greeted us with a price board for ‘COFFEE’. I said in my previous review that I wouldn’t mention coffee at the George again, sorry, but I must. The coffee machine had arrived the day before. Well done Tripadvisor the George! We had a wonderful starter of Baba Ganoush, new to the menu that day. It was exceptionally good with delicate flavour. Following on was chicken breast and pasta with tomato sauce, again great flavour though my wife found it a little too greasy. My Bengal curry was fantastic and a most generous serving. Our ‘Desert,’sic, was Chocolate Ganache with pistachio ice cream under crunched nuts. I had the steamed maple syrup pudding set in a delicious whisky sauce, a very delicate and light texture, just right to finish on after the curry! Of course we had our long awaited espressos from the new device, a delicious finale to our meal. Earlier in walkers had dropped in wanting a coffee. Now all on Exmoor should be heading to the George for their ‘hit’."
