Someone’s been murdered. Inconvenient.

This Halloween, The George is going medieval (obviously!)

Murder. Suspicious villagers. Dodgy alibis. Questionable detective work. Our idea of a very good evening indeed.

Gather your team, follow the clues and work out whodunnit before the rest of the pub does.

•7pm
•Canapés o’ plenty + hot spiced mead
•£15 per person

Don’t be boring, come dressed for the Middle Ages! Commitment to the theme encouraged, full chainmail entirely your own problem.

Booking essential. The investigation awaits!!

The best season for pub grub has officially returned 🍗

Landlord Reece has had the black pudding hash brown every day this week for lunch.

Come along and find your favourite dish! Classics such as fish / steak / ham / scampi & chips of course always remain, with puds on our blackboard changing weekly.

The George Autumn ’26 menu is now being served.

Bookings recommended. Elasticated waistbands encouraged.

Well. That was an absolute triumph.

A huge thank you to our very talented friend Holly Baker for taking over The George kitchen on Saturday and making our first ever supper club such a bloody lovely evening.

Local venison, chalk stream trout, wild mushrooms, blackberries, gin, sourdough… basically a very good argument for eating what’s growing, grazing and being made around us!

The feedback has been overwhelmingly lovely, the plates came back suspiciously clean, and we’re feeling very lucky to have brilliant friends who do brilliant things (and occasionally agree to come and do them in our kitchen).

Thank you Holly, thank you to all the wonderful local producers who made their way onto the menu, and thank you to everyone who came, ate, drank and made our first supper club such a success 🥰

We have a feeling it won’t be our last!

Marketing lady made me do another video 🫩

But this one is for a worthy, worthy cause.

My good mate and very talented chef (but terrible backgammon player) Holly Baker is cooking us an absolute feast this Saturday and we’ve still got a few tables up for grabs.

We want to make supper clubs a proper regular thing here at The George: brilliant cooks, local producers, seasonal food and an excuse to gather round a table and eat very well.

Holly’s ready to change your mouth’s life. We’ll pull the taps and pop the corks. You lot just need to book a table.

And if you’re a local chef, grower, maker, butcher, baker or forager who fancies getting involved in a future one please give us a shout!!

Let’s make something of all the good stuff we’ve got around here. Cheers!

We love the rain, we love great food, and we love Holly Baker.

On Saturday 26th September our dear friend Holly Baker will be cooking for you all at our inaugural supper club collab “Flavours of The Local”.. an evening celebrating seasonal cooking and the frankly excellent produce we have right here on our doorstep.

Originally from Ireland and currently cheffing locally in Fosbury, Holly’s love of feeding people eventually led her from restaurant kitchens to the renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School, where she immersed herself in seasonal cooking, foraging and making the most of what’s growing around you.

Now living in the English countryside, Flavours of The Local is her love letter to the area, its seasons, hedgerows and brilliant local producers.

And so, we shall feast.

Berkshire chalk stream trout cured with local beetroot and Hawkridge Gin, wild mushroom pâté with Horton Bakehouse sourdough, slow-cooked Hampshire venison with blackberry jus, great dishes of gratin and greens for the table, and warm apple crumble to finish.

If summer is going to abandon us, we may as well eat extremely well about it.

• Drinks from 7pm
• Supper served from 7:30pm
• Saturday 26th September
• £45 per person
• £10 per head deposit to secure your booking
