Though a big praise goes to the exceptional service we received. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement.
My wife and one of our friends are dairy intolerant and although this was mentioned in the table pre-booking, my wife was just expecting what most other restaurants do and say that ABC contains dairy and they'd omit it. Or if you're lucky, they might replace or give extra XYZ that doesn't contain dairy.
This is not good enough for The George Inn though. As soon as we'd arrived and asking if we were getting the Sunday Roast, our server immediately went to the kitchen. I just assumed he was informing the chef to be careful with ingredients but he returned to say the chef was making dairy free Yorkshire Puddings. This was certainly a small treat for my wife as she usually has to avoid the Yorkshire Puddings.
The food came out, dairy free Yorkshire Puddings for my wife and our friend with dairy free gravy (another treat!). Usual vegetables that come with the roast but then out comes two separate bowls of cauliflower cheese - one with dairy and one without. Again an absolute treat and definitely not something my wife and friend were expecting.
A superb meal and we were really appreciative of the efforts of the chef and server.
